Pensacola Journal.
Pensacola, Florida.
Dear Sirs:-
There is a rather clever way of
winning votes for the Republican cleo
tors In this section being used by
some shrewd people.
Last Sunday. at a little church near
Wausau, man appeared having a
list of the Republican electors, and
distributed them among the people
advising that they were the ones
to vote for" a the November election.
lie avoided saying whose candidates
they were. but merely advised to vote
for them. The same trick is used in
other parts of the country.
Now then, if this is being generally
resorted TO, ii will gain q large num-
Der of votes for the Republican cleo
tors throughout the State. All Of the
county papers appear to Be publish
ing the names of the Democratic cleo
tors, but the county papers do not
reach all of the people. There are only
q few days left in which to meet such
designing methods, and some way, in
my opinion. should be devised to in
form the electors of our candidates
for electors. A small sum would send
the county paper TO every Democratic
voter in the State, and I am sure that
every paper in the State will give
hearty support to such move But
they can not be expected to do it all
They get small compensation for the
great work being done by them. as it
is.
Yours very truly,
A D. CARMICHAEL.

OFFER HIM WORK.

That specimen of humanity
once Il frequent visitor in this
section but who disappeared
about the time Uncle Sam put
a work or fight" order into
eifect-the common hobo-is
said to be reappearing in this
section OF the state again. We
note this through some of our
exchanges, though at this
time the absence of tramps and
beggers in this particular ter
ritory is still noted.
While many of our large in
dustrial centers announce the
closing of the manufacturing
plants for the purpose of adj
Justing labor conditions, there
are still thousands of good
jobs open and apparently no
excuse why any able-bodied
man should be idle. 1t may be
true that there is not as much
work to be had in our cities as
during the years of the war,
but 1t must be remembered the
cities recruited their excess
labor from the farms, and the
farms are still sorely in need
OF workers. Thousands left the
farms and went to the cities
under the lure of high wages.
Ii they re out Of work now, let
them return to the farms.
The surest way to put the
hobo out of business is to dis
courage his begging. Offer him
work before offering food or
money-and you will help
SelVe the problem. For the
man who is willing to work
for his food has not in his sys-
TEN the making of a hobo.
We've been rid of tramps and
beggarS in this section for the
past two or three years. So let
us discourage their return by
making the back-door hand
out harder for them to get
than it was back in the days
when We believed a man if he
said he couldn't get work.
