SWATTS, Local Ageat, 8 ; | - - /SHEATS NOT AUTHOR OF THAT STORY ON HERNANDO | ALLEGING COUNTY HAD LOG Writings of Late A. M. C. Russell Prove Statement Was in Hollo- way's Report. Times of yesterday has Hon y cundid [ public instruction, talked interest- ingly to a Times man today concern- jig his candidacy and incidentally the subject of the endorsement by A. M. C. Rtussell, Jr., of Superintendent Holloway's candidacy was touched upon. Mr. Rus:zell gives as his rea- csn for supporting Mr. Holloway that mislead were published relative to the educa- tional status of his father’s home county Hernando. Mr. Sheats had the following to say: “He cannot charge me with the publication of such statistics, for the reason that the Fort Meade Leader, in an cditorial of March 26, stated emphatically: ‘It was the Leader and not one of Prof, Russell's oppo- nents asserted that Hernando county bad twenty-two log school houses, and for verification and authority, page 477, column 3, line 19 of table 26 of Mr. Holloway's report for the years 1909-10, was cited.’ "’ “Do these statistics appear in Mr. Holloway's last report?”’ asked The Times man of Mr, Sheats. “They do.” “How do you account for young Russell ¢ndorsing Mr. Holloway?” “It is beyond my comprehension, especially when considering the hardship and expense endured by his father in his effort to defeat Mr. Hol- loway. However, the young man may be influenced by Holloway's half-page ads. appealing to the vot- ers to rebuke me for misrepresenting the late Mr. Russell. But the fact is established that Holloway is the one guilty of publishing these false sta- tistics in his last report. If there ex- ist no log school houses in lernande county, and he gave statistics in his report, which is not only distributed in Florida but throughout the United States, it simply shows that he has not acquainted himself with the true status of affairs in the various coun- ties of the State. *And when considering the fact that young Russell's father called upon ‘the State superintendent’ for an explanation, in the Apri] 4, 1912, issue of the Southern Argus, the pa- per of which he was editor, in which he also exonerated the Fort Meade Leader by saying: ‘The Leader, how- ever, is not responsible for this mon- umental error becaus it dooes occur on page 477 of the report. We can- not explain how it came there. The present State superintendent should explain.’ Such action on the part of young Russel's father, of which I grant that he may not have been ap- awkward attitude.” “Has Mr. Holloway ever made an explanation?” “Why, no, what explanation would he have to offer when the one whom such statistics aggrieved made an acknowledgement of their existence? While Mr. Holloway has made no ex- planation, he would by means of his display advertisement prejudice the supporters of the lamented Hon. A. M. C. Russell, by charging me with what he (Holloway) is guilty, as published in the records of his de- partment.” “What were your relations with ‘ln.‘. late Mr. Russell,” “The most cordial. 1 always ad- ! mired him for his intellect, sincerity of purpose, and sterling integrity. | Thousands of citizens throughout the State have during my present canvas heard me in public speeches, and in ny personal canvass, refer to him as |u high-toned Christian gentleman.
