He is a suave, polished, intellectual man, and a real fighter, velvet on the surface but well-tem- pered steel beneath. Pty Judged by the fine, large picture| of him in the Kissimmee Gazette, V. J. Sears, of Kissimmee, candidate for Conzress from the Fourth dis- trict, not only has pulchritude, but continuity of purpose as well.
