urged him TO accept the nomination of United

other man, and finally used his influence in be-
half Of Jones, when his own success was assured,
should he consent TO have his name presented.
In politics Judge Bernard has always been
conservative, has always abstained from con-
nection with rings and has never been the tool
Of any party. Welded in general TO Democratic
principles, he has used his influence for the pro-
molten Of Democratic institutions, and in the
last campaign used his best efforts in field and

AS Centennial Commissioner from Florida,
Judge Bernard rendered much service for his
State, and, as in that position, he was thrown in
