tendent,
Lake City Citizen-Reporler: Hon
Vim, NJ, Holloway of Gainesville, csndi
date for State Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, was an appreciated visitor at
our office last Saturday. Mr. Holloway
is thoroughly competent mana pleas
ant, affable gentleman, and is making a
number of friends in this vicinity. Since
1895 he has been superintendent OF
schools in Alachua county, the duties OF
which Office he has honorably discharged.
His reelection to the Office twice in sue
cession, without opposition, is evidence
OF the esteem and confidence in which
he is held by by the people of Alachua
county.
Palatka Times Herald: During the
continued absence of Gar Sheats FROM
Tallahassee, the Office boy. perhaps

ing educators of the State, qualified in
every way to fill the position to which he
aspires, aud il all signs don't fail he will
be the next State Superintendent.
LET MR. sHgATs RETIRE.
holmes County Advertiser: The Adj
vertser feels that Mr.. Sheats is entitled
to much credit for the work he has per-
formed for Florida in the interests OF
education, and we would not detract one
iota from his deserved credit. But, be.
cause Mr. Sheats has merely done what Il
was his duty to do, to wit: give his very
best efforts for the elevation Of the stand
ard Of education in the State, does that
bring the State under obligations to con-
tinue him in Office ad iufnituml No, In
deed. There are others. And among
the tried and tested educators Of Florida,
none stand higher, IL indeed as high, as
Prof w. M. Holloway, of Gainesville,
Fla, Superintendent Public Instruction
Of Alachua county, also who is the oppo.
nent of Mr.. Sheats for State Superin.
tendent.
The fact Is, Mr.. Sheats has undoubt-
edly reached the limst Of his influence,
IL not his ability, aud should retire. The
superior ability manifested by Prof. Hol.
loway as a promoter Of educational inter-
ests mark him as the man who should
step out into wider field, and apply his
genius for educational work TO the fur
Their promotion Of State interests In
educational work.
He only, as compared between the
two, Is able to take that work from where
Sheats has carried It, and advance 1t 10
higher planes Of usefulness This is
almost self-evident, II not quite so,
therefore needs but little argument to
prove it.
Holloway by all means should receive
the primary vote-and we believe he will.
At any rate we are confident that Holmes
aud Walton will give him their support,
for they are quite willing TO allow sheats
a resting spell.
