Now, | will say that early in the campaign, Mr, L’Engle came to mo voluntarily and urged me to be a eandidate, telling me that he would support and do everything in his power to elect me. A few days after that, in conversation with him, I told him that I could not support him for Congress. His attitude towards me changed from that date and his advertisement or supposed advertise- ment is in keeping with the from beginning to end. I have known Claude L'Engle ever since he was a Marcfooted boy and I want to say that my observation of him from <hildhood has been anything else but that would impress an honest man that he was honest in any pretended cauviction, he is absolutely selfish and that he has but one end in view, that of advancing self. I will further say that his father in his early days dubbed him 2 rainbow chaser; that he has made a failure in every walk of life he has undertaken and has squandered moncy and fortunes of ather people in his undertakings. 1 Wave noticed his articles wherein ho claims to be the friend of the work- ing class; if there is a man living tday that has supreme contempt for those who earn their living by the sweat of their brow, that man 'is Claude I.'Engle, and it it would re- dound to his interest to fight the working classes he would be on that side of the fence, Mr. I'Engle is an ingrate from the but | mllll L’ENGLE (that he has a relative today that is 'going to vote for him with the pos- sible exception of his brothier, Porch- |re I'Engle, and he would have to ]show me his ticket before voting it, |before 1 would believe that he did so. He said that his brothers-in-law were equally divided as to his candidacy I know of but two brothers-in-law in {this district of his, one is John E. Hartridge and the other is myself and 1 will say that neither one of us, al- though Mr. Hartridge has not author- ized me to say so in this letter, will vote for him; on the contrary we will vote for any other man in the race jother than himself. 1 personally feel that if Claude L'Engle is elected to Congress, the people in this district will rue the day that they sent such a man to represent them in the na- tional legislative hall. I predict that in less than six months after he reaches Washington he will be the laughing stock of the country. His egotistical and dictorial characteris- tics will make him such. Now, in conclusion, 1 want to re- iterate that the Wilson Club at its meeting last Thursday passed a reso- lution exactly opposite to the adver- tisement appearing in Claude L'En- gle's paper purporting to be the ac- tion of that club and to verify my statement, | herewith attach a letter from Wm. T. Stockton, secretary of that club; also a letter from Claude I’Engle, wherein he acknowledges that his article was untrue and of his own makeup. He told me this morn- ing that he did it of his own voli- tion and there is no other conclusion to be placed upon the matter than that he did so because I had told kim |to THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., APRIL 29, 1912, support a man of his caliber to rep- (resent the State in the halls of the came to the conclusion at its Thurs- day meeting that it was best to let every member stand upon his own bottom, refusing to endorse anybody.

REPAIRING A WATCH v) The work of repairing and putting into “factory shape” a watch is not child's play—it requires mechanical skill thorough knowledge of the pur- pose and requirements of each com- ponent part.. It is a skill which takes deep study to master, and it is sur. prising how few who are in the busi- ness are successful in getting perfect time keeping conditions into their work, You won’t find better watch- maker’s skill in the state than at A A If you Tomorrow tells the story. desert Mr. Wilson as long as he is in the race, for I feel that he is today the greatest exponent of progressive Democracy, and | know, from my travelings through the Eastern States that he has the confidence of the peo- ple in that part of the world; that one of his strongest characteristics as shown by his .actions as governor of the State of New Jersey, that he is a man that does his own thinking; that he is not dictated to by fixed rings, or party bosses. Ile is exceed- ingly strong in upper New York State, where | have resided for the past nine years about five months each year, for the reason that he is independent of party bosses. My opinion today being that he is the strongest man before the people and 1 think that the strongest man in the Republican party to cope with Mr. Wilson would be a man of his same stripe in the person of ex-Gov. Hughes of New York State. If the people of this district want me to represent them at the mational convention to be held in Baltimore on June 25, I am perfectly willing to do so, if not, I would be glad to see a Woodrow Wilson delegation elected from Florida. Very respectfully, J. E. T. BOWDEN. Jacksonville, Fla., April 22, 1912, No, dear voter, I am not trying to deprive George Washington of his monument, or Thomas Jefferson of his fame—not yet.
