Samuel Pasco of Florida is in the city

has had i'll years. This is Floridas
first experiment with the state pri-
mary" said Senator Pasco. I'VE have
had the primary for county nominal
lions for some time, but this is the first
time the people have voted direct for
candidates for Governor"
When asked if he thought the expe-
riment a satisfactory one he replied
with some reserve, but indicated that
there were objections to it and much
will depend ON the final outcome of
contests, etc. 1t was no surprise to
him that Davis was defeated. AS he
with Standard Oil which caused his
defeat" Davis is personally a very
admirable man, but he made align
ments with Taliaferro and other
Standard Oil candidates that caused
him to be defeated"
Senator Pasco said Taliaferro
though comparatively an unknown
man in his state was able to pull
Through, being aided materially by
ample campaign support and strong
corporations. Broward, the nominee
for Governor, Senator Pasco regards
as a very acceptable man, whose adj
ministration will be independent of
trust influences. Senator Pasco will
go from here to st. Louis to see the
fair and will remain over for the Dem
