Maxine Up Their NIinds.

The time for the great political strug-
gle Of May 10 is'rapldy drawing near.
aud 10 the meantime the people are doing
quite lOt OF thinking on their own hook.
The Senatorial race seems to be the main
topic OF conversation, as far as State poll
tiles Is concerned, for Il Is here that the
thinking voter realizes the fact that this
office must be filled by'a man who is IN a
position 10 do us the most good. The
State right at this time Is on the eve Of a
new and brilliant day, brought about by
a step made by Congress In giving us the
Panama canal What Is the next move
that should be made TO make Florida the
banner State OF the South, aud perhaps
the Union? The question Is answered In
a nutshell: Give "a the Florida ship
canal. so that our State can handle the
shi ping OF the earth and enjoy. the pros
are we to-rely upon TO secure for MS this
wonderful enterprise? Our Senators. OF
course: ana that grand aud noble friend
OF Florida. Senator James p. TanaferrO.
has foreseen Il he dawn of another day and
Is bending his every effort to secure for
us this much-needed Improvement. He
realizes that the time is now ripe Tor
work, and he Is working and working
with vim. Citizans. can we afford TO
reward his tlreless efforts with political
defeat and in his place put raw man
whom 1t Will take years TO even catch on
10 the run OF Things at WaSnluRVOul Jan
we ignore that grand record that flashes
over the width aud breadth Of Florida
like a spotless searchllght, defying all OPP
ponents to step into its piercing rays9
No, we believe that the fair minded peO-
Pile of Oh State are going 60 give Justice
where It Is due and return Senator Talia-
ferro to Washington by an Overwhelming
majority. Now Is the time OF all times
that we do need just such a man az Sena-
tor Taliaferro has proven himself TO be.
We believe we are correct Ia stating
that precious few Bradford people have
allowed the wool TO be pulled over their
eyes by John N. c. Stockton, who, for
political effect only poses as the only
"great | am" and savior of the people :
the jacksonville banker who denounces
the rich and loves the poor on the 8-per-
cent. basis. Whenever yoT see man
like Stockton hooking arms with the poor
man, you can rest assured that IL Is not
for the love that he bears him, but IL Is
for that vote he is after.
Senator TaliaterrO has been weighed In
the scales Of public opinion and has never
been found wanting. Can we reward
merit with defeat? Can we risk new
man right at the time an experienced and
steady hand Is needed to guide the ship
OF state over the shoals into the sunlit sea
