BELATED BULL-MOOSE CAMPAIGN JOKE. Young Tom Appleyard Wrote a Sarcastic and Facetious Letter to McRae’s Friend W.C. Hodges, the Buck Mocse of Florida, and Big Pardon Lawyer. There's a huge smile going around the State at the seriousness of W. A. McRae in publishing a sarcastic and facetious letter of T. J. Appleyard, The following is a copy B. L. Black- of Hillsboro Jr., candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture. of a letter recently written by young Appleyard to Hon. burn, chairman of the Democratic executive committee county: Tallahassee, Fla.,, May 11, 1914. “Mr, B, L. Blackburn, Tampa, Fla.: “Dear Sir—Replying to vour lettier of May 9th, in reference to a cer- tain facetious letter written by mys 1 to W. tive of the ‘Bull Moose’ party in Florida, duly received. “The huge joke of the effort to secure ‘Bull Moose' electors from Flor- (. Hodges, the representa- ida led me to write this sarcastic and facetious letter as a joke on Mr. Hodges. ‘Bull (which I have always been) why he “This occurrance reminds me of a joke told at the time. A certain Moose' asked a young Democrat ‘My father, my grandfather and my The and was a Democrat, and his reply was: great-grandfather were Democrats; hence I am a Democrat also.’ ‘Bull Moose' asked him, ‘Then if your father, your grandfather fools, would you alho have been a—fool? ‘No, great-grandfather had been- The young Democrat answered, In that case 1 would have been a ‘Bull Mooser." "’ “This, 1 think, fit to publish this reply in full for the information of the Demodratic fully answers your inquiry, and I trust you will see voters of Hillsborough county, and of the State of Florida, as indicated in your letter. “Very respectlfully, (Signed) ‘T. J. APPLEYARD, JR.” 1 would pay no attention to the charge of Mr. McRae that [ wrote the letter mentioned had he not strongly insinuated that I violated the oath required of me as a candidate—had he not, through insinuation,attempt- ed to poison the public mind by suggesting that I voted the Bull Moose ticket. It is amusing to think that anyone would give me credit for writing I knew this fellow Hodges casually, but pleasantly; and while the newspapers of Florida were taking digs at the Bull Moose candidate T took mine, also. Had I not this right? “My letter to Hodges was written on the first day of November, just five days prior to the election, when big Republican and Bull Moose pa- pers in the North, East and West were conceding Mr. Wilson's election. Every ten-year-old boy knew, absolutely, what the result was going to be. What had I to gain? I had everything to lose if I had written it seriously anq intended aligning myself with that party. Had I intended it in all seriousness my letter would have, rightfully, been addressed to the real Bull Moose leader of Florida, Hon. H. L. Anderson of Jacksonville, “The fact of the business is that I did not cast my vote at the last gen- eral election, although qualified to do so, and for the following reason: 'l spent the summer of 1912 in Kentucky, returning to my home in Arcadia early in October, and upon my return there I immediately began prepa- rations to move from there to Tallahassee, where I now reside. 1 com- pleted the packing of my household effects, and storing them a few days prior to the day of the election, closeq up my business affairs; then went to the Arcadia House to wait until the day of the election, in order that Mrs. Appleyarq might rest up for her journey here, and that I might cast my vote for the full DEMOCRATIC ticket. On the morning of the election after we had our breakfast, we went to the station, where I left Mrs. Appleyard among a number of friends who hag come down to tell us good-bye, and after purchasing our tickets and checking our baggage, I went to the polls at the court house to cast my ballot. My train was scheduled to leave Arcadia, either at 8:23 or 8:29, as well as my mem- ory serves me, and while I arriveq at the polls a few minutes before 8 o'clock, I remained there until my train whistled for the station and 1 haq to run to catch it, and up to this time the polls had not opened, al- though considerably after 8 o’clock. There must have been fifty people waiting around te cast their vote.. Thus, the people can clearly see was deprived of my vote and why. It is said that a man never leaves his mother’s religion nor his father’s politics. I believe this to be true. T HAVE KEPT THE FAITH IN BOTH INSTANCES. The records of the supervisor of registration of DeSoto county, ida, will bear me out in this statement that I diq not vote. : The people of Florida know me too well to even think for one instant that I have ever been anything other than a loyal DEMOCRAT., 1 WAS BORN A RQUEMOCRAT; ISHALL DIE A DEMOCRAT. On March 28th, 1912, W. A, McRae, then a candidate for commission- er of agriculture, borrowed from his friend, the big pardon lawyer, W C. (Bull Moose) Hodges, the sum of § L paign. Does this look good, the letter in a serious vein. Flor- 500 right in the midst of the cam- this borrowing from the man heading the opposition ticket?

THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK FINE EFFECTS IN NECKWEAR Group Shows Some of the Most Popu- lar Designs That Are the Mode at the Present. On the upper left of the accom- panying group is shown an elaborate plece of meckwear of satin and lace. The scalloped revers and collar are of white satin piped with wistaria gatin and trimmed with buttons cov- ered with the same. Around the outer | edge of these revers cream lace is plaited and a frill of chiffon falls from the bottom. The little vest is made of shirred chiffon crossed by straps of the satin. Fine batiste was used for the little shirt front effect shown. The outer portion was of the plain batiste finished with a narrow ruffle of “Val” lace. isette is of the tucked batiste. The ribbon, buckle covered with the same. TULLE USED IN MILLINERY | One of the Most Effectlve of the Hat Trimmings That Are Just Now Popular.

It is placed on straw, taffeta, satin or on any material that goes to make a hat 1t is used to i drape the crown, tolded into most ! fantastic shapes, and it can be twist- 1 ed into spirals that resemble the ten- drils of a feather, or clipped to look like pompons. It s not as perishable as it looks, as there are molstproof tulles which may be exposed to damp- ness and even rain without becoming limp. Lace is also used in high-wired effects and in artistic drapings. |~ The new flowers are works of art. There is a great variety of stick-up motifs, in wing and quill effects, and ! fantastic ornaments made entirely of * thickly clustering small flowers, in ' color schemes that are truly wonder- rul in their beauty. Fine ferns, grssses and moss are used to subdue |” too brilliant coloring. Dainty pompons are made of forget- me-nots, lilacs and other small flow- ers, mounted on slender branchlike stems. Delightful little clusters of flowers are composed of a silk rose- l bud, two fuchsias and a sprig of mig- nonette, placed on the brim of a hat. { Berries are either worn as bunches or else in trails right round the hat, often being mixed with flower buds. Cotton voiles strewn with small flower motifs and tulles printed in the same effect are made up into smart hats with the addition of a small quan- tity of fine straw brald, lace or em- broidered edging and small flowers or fruit, and are elaborate enough to be | worn with the daintiest summer frock.
