SUPPORT FLETCHER.

Dear Journal:
Your commendable article read with
much interest. Although I am not ac-
quainted with the editor of the Miami
Herald, 1 will work extra hours to
earn the money to contribute towards
erecting him a monument for his un-
deniable truthful statement about one
of the nob1est of men, Senator Fletch-
err, and for the x-Ray illumination of
the character and actions of the feline
specimen, called Cats, governor of
Florida. There is no need for me to
rehearse the undeniabIe character and
wonderful accomplishments of our be-
loved Senator Fletcher. Just as ac-
tions speak louder than words, so
the many years Of steady work for
the upbuilding of our beloved state,
in every branch for the public good
should prompt every man in Florida to
work for the return of Senator
Fletcher to the United States senate.
The Miami Herald goes on and
states the fact the other man. the
changeable Cats, by taking advantage
of political dissension and by a fic-
ticious issue issued by himself and
after boiling the ticket OF his party
was elected governor by small ma
jority of the people. His admins
tration has been one of turmoil and
unpleasantness, and he has shown no
ability as an administrator, or as a
lawmaker. He has broken his political
promises. He has deserted his friends
that elected him. He has appointed
members of his family to lucrative
places in the state government. He
has suspended numerous officers of
the state, only to have them return to
office by the state senate. He has
made himself disliked and has made
the state of Florida a laughing stock
among the states of the Union. Ii
| Governor Cats is elected, it will be
! because his appeals to the non-inteli-
gent, the ignorant and bigoted finds
response in the hearts of a sufficient
number of voters to outweigh the in
ltelligent vote of the state. Even
were Senator F1etcher's opponent q
man of equal ability, it will require
a number of years to obtain the In
fluence and the position which Sena-
tor Fletcher now holds. Cats doesnsf
IappeaI to the enlightened and the in
telligent people of the state. but 70

voiced through the press, and by ap-
pealing to their respective prejudlceS

get elected.
