that the suggestion that the Legislature Of hfs State

had been discussed bur it never met with approval
in any responsible quarter. He was asked If there
was any reason 10 fear that the Democrats would
not bc able to cnrry Florida by n vote of
the people. He replied that under ordinary circum-
stances and with any far chance of success, the
vote of Florida would be east for the Democratic
nominees but if events indicate that the North
will be sohdy Republican. and that there is no pro-
pect of elecing the nominees of the Democratic
Convention there Is ample room to doubt whether
Florida will fall into line for certain defeat.
