The Boston Ideals, one of the finest
musical attractions of the eounti\y, will
be at the auditorium Thursday niglit.
Everybody in Gainesville who appreci
ates good music should attend, for the
organization is a superb one and the
program will be highly entertaining.
Each member of the club has hacl a
concert career of no less than twelve
years, an experience which gives them
a confidential and easy bearing on the
stage, not only reassuring to the audi
ence, tut agreeable as well. This is
the only original Banjo, Mandolin and
Guitar Club ever organized in this
country for professional work, and the
mere fact that the same members have
played together ever since, Js the best
and most convincing proof of its great
success. t

misleading headlines and how they
charged it as being an attack on Gov
ernor Atkinson and his administration.
He showed the silliness of this charge,
and said the letter was an attack on-
corrupt political methods—and he stood
now where he stood when he wrote it—
against political trickery.
Colonel Candler touched upon other*
features of the campaign but the above
covers the principal points of bis short
speech. A very large and enthusiastic
crowed greeted him, notwithstanding
the night was a very rough one. He
will give him all the support and co
operation possible.

Hon. Allen D. Candler addressed the

night. He did not make a set speech j ^. n . ^ ^ ^ M
but talked freely and fully about liis
campaign to his home people, informing
them of every movement that w r as being
made. He expressed himself as being
perfectly satisfied with the condition
and progress of his campaign and be
lieves he will win the nomination.
Colonel Candler is extremely thankful
for the cordial support his home people
are giving him, and assured the club
that it was highly appreciated. He
only spoke a short time, but reviewed
the situation from the time his name
was first mentioned for the nomination,
why and how he became a candidate,
and of how the opposition managed to
get out q candidate against him, His
race would be made, be said, upon the
declaration of principles set forth in
his letter to the Clarke county Democ
racy accepting the nomination. He
was the candidate of the people, was
opi os _*d to corrupt politics, was in favor
of reducing the rate of taxation, and in
favor of putting on the brakes in every
branch of the state government where
it was wise and expedient. Colonel
Candler said if he had to get the nomi
nation of Governor by buying votes
with either money or<whisky, he didn t
want it and wouldn't have it.
Colonel Candler told how the opposi
tion had been slandering him in every
quarter of the state, how they had said
he was an Atkinson man in the Evans-
Atkinson contest, and how he wrote
perhaps a dozen private letteis to
Evans leaders in different parts of the
state setting himself right before them,
one who received one of these letters
being Judge Max Meyerhardt of Rome.
He recilled how many newspapers had
published this letter with flaring and
