The Political Situation.

The press of the state has latterly
been devoting considerable space to
the making of all sorts of predictions
concerning prominent and probable
candidates for state offices. But
there has been no change in the stu
alton for several weeks.
Gov. Jennings, whom it is almost
certain will become a candidate for
the United States Senate, has not yet
made authoritative announcement of
his candidacy. Until that announce
ment is made the News does not
propose to discuss him.
AT the present time there are but
two announced candidates for the
office, viz. Senator James p. Tallia-
ferro, and Jno. N. 9. Stockt ton. Should
Jennings enter land there seems to
be no doubt but he wilD the fight will
be triangular one, with the chances
in favor of the selection of Talliaferro
as his own-successor.
In the Second District Congress
ional race there are multiplicity of
candidates. They are J. NJ. Bars, A.
o. Wright, James Il. Alexander,
Frank Clark, and Chas. l.. Fildes,
with several counties to hear from.
EX-Congressman Chas. Dougherty
wants to get into this race and 1T is
just possible he may conclude to do
so. He has tried the job, likes it, and
as he has nothing particular on hand
just at present, tire chances all favor
his entrance. DOugherty has been
out of the state for several years, and
is well-nigh forgotten, or to be more
to the point, was never known to the
great body of present generation
voters in the district. The leading
candidates are unquestionably Bars
and Clark, but each of the others
have some strength and it is safe to
predict the race will result in sec
ond primary.
For the office of governor there are
but two candidates now. These are
Congressman Robert w. Davis and
Senator G. M. Brown. The latter is
an 0cala man, engaged in the grocery
business, but who practices alittle
politics ON the side and has had his
appetite sharpened by election to the
state senate. His candidacy is not
regarded seriously by the state press,
Hon, D. H. Mays, Of Monticello, may
become candidate also, But from the
tenor Of newspaper discussion In all
parts Of the state it is safe to predict
chat "Roh" Davis will be an easy
winner

JUEGE LONGS WILL
His Brothers and Sisters Sure to
Contest 1t.

The relatives of the late Judge
John G. Long will make no move un-
til the contents of the will are made
public.
One of the heirs, in conversation
with Recorder representative today,
said that Perry Stickney while here
few days ago, stated that he had
the will in his possession and was
familiar with its cohtents. Mr..
Stickney he says further stated that
all of the st. Augustine property was
left to him, and all other property
north of Jacksonville was left to his
sister, Miss Alice Stickney.
A well-known lawyer representing
the relatives has written Mr.. Stick
ney demanding that the papers he
claims to have, be deposited here
with the probate Judge.
Mr.. Stickney has stated that he
will file the will in Washington, d.
c., but as st. Augustine was the
home of the late Judge Long, his rel
atives will insist that the will be
probated here.
While reticant as to what action
will be taken, should the Will dispose
Of the estate as is alleged by Mr..
Stickney, the relatives of Judge Long
admit that litigation may follow
