AN ELEVENTH
HOUR ATTACK
Dixie Nj. HOllins Makes a Clear and
Convincing Reply to Mr.. Sheats'
Misstatement

To the Democratic Voters of Florida:
In utter defiance of the primary
law, which prohibits any candidate
from attacking his opponent during
the last 18 days before the primary,
and in violation of every principle Of
fairness, Mr.. Sheats has issued at the
eleventh hour an unWarranted, and IN
every way false, attack upon me. Not
only has he circulated it over the
state, but caused it to be printed n
many weekly newspapers three days
before the primary, using the last
possible edition before the election.
To publish an answer to an attack
Of this kind in the daily newspapers
OF this state would bankrupt any ord
mary man. Moreover it would not
reach many of the people who had
read the attack in the weekly papers,
and as the weekly papers over the
state will not print another edition
before the election, you can readily
see the evident and intended unfair
ness of Mr.. Sheats' political methods
Briefly let me say | am in no way
responsible for the textbook muddle
in this state. I could not have BEEN
Mr.. Sheats knows it and everyone
who has investigated the matter
knows it. The matter of adopting
textbooks is entirely in the hands of
the state board of education of which
Mr.. Sheats is a member and of which
| have never been a member. | served
with committee of ten, appointed by
re 70 oil ha L,,+
| never had an opportunity to vote
either for or against the adoption of
any book. Get the law and look it up
if you will. .-
If an illegal eleventh hour attack of
this kind can be made to count for
anything, there is no use for an honest
man to oppose the present state sup
erintendent, and | appeal to the fair
ness of the voters of Florida to pay
no attention to false attack of this
kind, made three. days before the
election and which could have been
made months ago, as the entire attack
is based on things that happened a
year ago.
The absurdity of such an attack
and the unfair methods by which it
is made ought to be enough to con-
denim in the eyes of every fair minded
person, a man VINO although having
served for twenty years as state
superintendent is unable to run on his
record but prefers viciously to at
tack his opponent.
Yours for a square deal and fair
play, Dixie M. Hollins,
Candidate for State Superintendent.
