THE STATE
(Continued From P On)
rant of wonderful heritage. Br nature
I am an optomUt with faith and ad
miration for ray government, but that
alone will neither, euffice. nor destror
the deadly poison of commercial
avarice, nor will n preserve and secure
for ourselves -and our posterity our
fabric of regulated liberty and free
dom, whose subject we cannot too
cloeely contemplate, without the hor
rors of bloodshed by revolts and wars
may not cease to recur. Let us now
awake and zealously regard and be
about our country's call and business!
thAt we snail not. like the patriots
before the first Caesar, with all our
recollections of what has been recorded
of Brutus, and of demagogues and
designing politicians be swept away
with our spirit of liberty and free
dom. Lt our posterity and freedom
be inflated or float unattended into
the harbor of anarchy and despotism,
out of which we would come only as
Washington and his illustrious fol
lowers came by revolution and
bloodshed. To avoid this,, that our
government may stand Inviolate and
to secure individual liberty and pub
lic right, we shall put reason in the
place of opinion; Intelligence in thu
place of passion; patriotism In the
place of commercialism, and what is
right in the place of what will pay.
This alone will preserve and securo
to the voters as members of the great
Jury the opportunity to pass upon the
facts, render a righteous verdict and
lead us to peace, liberty and safety.
By the example of Brutus we
should and shall proSt. We shall find
virtue a substance and not merely
a name, that those who have watched
and may watch our political opera
tions may learn that liberty is a.
blessing and not a mockery.
The whisper of the bribe giver, the
corrupt use of money, whether by
friends, corporations or trusts, and
the dark blots of the anarchist, are

not more baneful or dangerous to our
American institutions than the vote
catcher, the demagogue, or he who
would pay friendly or political debts
for personal or selfish reasons without
regard for concience or merit and at
the ezepense of the government.
You are a sovereign citizen. You
owe fealty to none but to God. Yours
is the right and duty to rigidly ex
amine the ca-ndidate and determine
for yourself wbeer he comes wltrrtn
the rule that is consistent "With the
real true "mission and purpose of the
principle of our government And
then vote for the one you think the
best. ": " '
I assume and shall appeal to you,
believing that you are and will be a
true soldier ef a republic, that you
will examine the candidates and their
platforms, and then upon the call of
duty to your state, without haste or
passion. Irrespective of friend, or foe,
real or fancied sentiment, . let your
own conscience direct your vote and
thereby Use and stimulate the noblest
virtues and usefulness of American
citizenship. By that alone, can you
realize and accomplish your country'
call and needs and make your Own
patriotic intentions effective.
Thus conscious, I shall not be moved
by the idea that I must go to the
United States senate, or that I must
win, but rather that I shall be true.
The vital issues and problems .of
government now before the people I
shall, therefore, discuss clearly, with
out following vagaries, and by appeal
only to your intelligence and patrio
tism. By this rule, Washington, Jef
ferson were led, though at differe.it
times, to harmonious actions and con
clusions, and by its use we need no
mesage from them nor memoranda ta
keep our promles and actions consist
ent. Here in Walton county, December 5,
1874 I was born, the son of a farmer,
who with my mother left me the in
spiration of noble precepts and exam
ples. Passing through the common
.-'. the Florida Agricultural Col
lege In June 1896, awarded me me
A. B. diploma and Cumberland Uni
versity of Lebanon, Tennessee ,tne
1 I B. in June. 1899, since which
time I have practiced law in this my
native county. In June, 1900, I was
here married and now from that union
I am blessed with a wife and six chil
dren. In the campaign I shall have no paid
workers, either in the field or at tne
polls. I shall appreciate and be grate
ful for volunteers, as individuals, as
editorials, press reports and Just com
ments. Such action would be a con
sistent dicharge of political duty.
I solicit your consideration upon
these principles to be published and
discussed with my platform in the
campaign. By them and by the pre
amble of the constitution my plat
form shall be measured and be my
own heartfelt expressions which I
trust have been verified by my public
services as military commander, may
or and state senator, as well as by my
private life here where I was born.
By instinct, training and study, I j
am an ardent supporter of our form
of government, its scheme and fabric, j
with its three distinctive, alluring and
essential branches: 1. legislative; 2
Judicial; , executive. Separate and
coordinate were they conceived and
created and jbo must and ehall they
remain. Encroachments by : on upon
the other, whether openly or stealth
ily, should .not be tolerated. Let u
then conceive the spirit and purpose
of government, the solemnity of our
obligations as electors and citisens,
emulate our fathers as men, as can
didates and as voters and be true to
the trust reposed in us by those whose
inspired earnestness and supreme
sacrifice gave to us our great consti
tutional government.
You owe more to the state than to
the candidate. I solicit your support
upon these patriotic principles, and I
want to serve, you In the federal sen
ate, . no less than you should want
the best services. I ask no hasty
committals. I am not before you to
win so much as to be true to "self and
to my government. I shall give you
my platform, but I shall not make in
It, In the press, or in speech, any
statement merely to please you, or
catch your vote. I shall appeal to
your , intelligence, not to your passion,
that we together, may realize and
stimulate the noblest virtues of man
hood and Useful citizenship and ac
complish some real ?ood for Florida
and our union of states upon the es
tablished principles of regulated lib
erty, controlled by law. Upon this
alone can our government be perma
nent. If you award me this great trust, I
promise you my best. I solicit your
support and shall esteem it an honor
to represent you and our state only
when elected by the honest, loyal and
voluntary ballots.
May I have the- pleasure and bene
fit Of a letter from you?

conceived the idea of Boy Scout. .
He organized the first troop of Boy
Scouts In England in 1908. In less
than three years there were 1 50.000
Boy Scouts there. The movement nat
urally came to America. Here it found
two national organizations, somewhat
similar in purpose and membership.
One was the Woodcraft Indians, led
by Ernest Thompson Seton, and the
others. Sons of Daniel Boone, led by
Dan C. Beard. These two were com
bined in the Boy Scouts of America. -The
aim of the Boy Scout move
ment is in general to supplement the
various educational agencies and to
promote the ability of boys to do
things for themselves and for . oth
ers. '
They are taught first aid, life sav
ing, tracking, signalling, nature study,
swimming, cooking, and other things.
The Scout law prescribes honor, loy
alty, unselfishness, friendliness, ha
tred to snobbishness, courtesy, kind
ness to animals, obedience to parents,
gentleness and thrift.
