While in Jacksonville the other day
we were told that Sena tor Stephen r.
Mallory would canvass very actively
in West Florida for the election Of
Mr.. John n. c. Stockton for the Uni
ted States senate to succeed Mr.
James P. Talisferro.
But we question the truthfulness of
this statement.
In his canvass in his own behalf
for a return to his post in the United
States senate, Mr.. Mallory based his
claim almost solely on what had be-
come the custom of the party in
Florida i'm rewarding its servants
those who had performed their duties
even fairly well-with at least two
terms in office.
This has been the party custom in
Florida and custom is always more
binding than written law.
In Mr.. Mallory's canvass it was
especially noted that this custom had
been emphasized in the history Of the
democratic delegation in congress.
The chain contains no broken
link.
Senator Wilkinson Call was given
three terms, Senator Charles w.
Jones two terms; Senator Samuel
PascO two terms; Senator Mallory
two terms; Congressman r. H. IL.
Davidson six terms; Congressman
Mallory TWO terms; Congressman
Fin'ey two terms; Congressman
Dougherty two terms; Congressman
Bullock two terms; Congressman
Davis two terms; Congressman
Spark man several terms.
These facts were cited in Mr.. Mall
lory's canvass, and although not en-
joying very robust health, he was re-
turned without opposition.
Can he now consistently go before
the people and say that in the case of
his colleague this link should be
| broken-the unwritten creed of the
party abrogated, and that Mr.. Talia-
ferro should not be returned to the
senate of the United States?
+ Why?
Because untitled for the office?
No!
On the contrary, he has shown ex-
traordinary capacity in performing
its duties.
His enemies, like Jennings, admit
that his record has been most sue
cessful and brilliant one.
Then can Mr.. Mallory afford to go
before the people and say that this
custom should he broken and his
colleague set aside in order that the
ambition of friend may be gratified
Can Mr.. Mallory subject himself to
the criticism that would naturally
follow such course simply to pay off
a personal obligation?
