Capt W. II. Towles of Fort Myers declines to be
Senatorial candidate from Lee County, so that the
fight in that district will continue as before between
w. Hunt Harris and E. M Semple, both of Key
West. Mr.. Semple said, however, that should Lee
County man become candidate that he would with.
draw, believing that county was entitled to the Sen.
ator. Should he receive the Office this year, though
four years later he would support Lee County can
didate. This seems to have smoothed the troubled
waters in Lee and it to be the best bargain
that could be made the support of that county will be
given Semple against Harris who is charged with
having broken the promise made the Lee County
people when seeking his first term.

Drainage of the Everglades is fast getting to be
campaign issue, in many portions of the State, at
least. While some candidates protest against the
plan in their announcement cards, yet there are
others who will make the race on the ground of
favoring the project: Among them is George A.
Morley, candidate for Representative from Dade
County, who is speaking to the voters on the sub.
Ject and declaring that It should be done. Mr. Wor-
ley states that if it is the will of the people that
such improvement be made and the present legisla-
ton is faulty that if he is chosen he will exert all
effort to remove defects in the present law

If all the county divisions mentioned at present
are brought before the Legislature much time will
be consumed in consideration of these bills, cutting
short discussion of other matters. Many will see
no harm in this, it will tend to curtail the man
ufacture OF laws perhaps unnecessary and undesir-
able. 1t is seldom that member of either branch of
the Legislature does not think that his value is en-.
HANGED by his ability to introduce bills and only
few days eapse after the opening of a session until
the calendars overloaded with all sorts of meas
ures supposed to be FOR the public good.

hustlng about to find candidate, but those avail
able to be shy BIRDS timd Of entering the pri-
mary cage E. w. Bond thought to be the patriot
to step into the breach but he has declined to be
victim, and now the lasso is being thrown at Prof.
G. p Carson, of the instructors at Stetson. The
latter exhibits signs Of haste however, to take up
the standard of the insurgents in spite of the assur
that he "would get the vote of the best people"
Perhaps this outburst against the popular Sans
has its being in the ilfeeling aroused over the re-
moval from Office of j. W. Perkins by the Governor
Whatever the merits of the case, it looks as If the
reason for such executive action was based fact
else why should Governor Broward exercise his au
thority in the case The friends of Perkins, however,
declare that he was the victim of injustice, and ex
pect that Senator Sans will air the matter in the
Senate in an attempt to undo the wrong" If this
is to be done the faction that got Perkins out of
Office naturally would want of their own kind in
the Senate.
County division is the issue in DeSoto, and if
nothing else is accomplished a political split will
endure The plan is to make three counties out of
the present territory, of which Punta Gorda would
be the capital of the lower county; Arcadia the seat
of the middle, while Wauchula would have the court
house of the third.
Naturally this scheme has brought a howl from
Arcadia and the citizens of that section prepar
ing to resist the proposed division, and although
having two candidates for the Legislature in the
field third w. Fl. Hooker, has announced. Mr..
Hooker, who is OF the cattle magnates of South
Florida, is popular ind it not for the issue of
county division, to which he is opposed would have
very good chance of election but in this it is not
likely that "Uncle Billy" will get the plum.
Especially are the candidates from the vicinity of
Arcadia in tight place for votes, as the northern
and lower portions of the county will be arrayed
against them and to make the task still harder the
brilliant A. p. Jordan, editor of the Punta Gorda
Herald has been chosen to lead the fight for the tr
division of the county, and candidate for Repre-
sentative will have all the support the advocates
of the plan can give, and they appear to be in the
majority.

There is a sameiWss in the platforms of many
candidates for the Legislature that gives the voter
no chance to form opinion on that score, but f.
s. Light of Marion County has illuminated the sit
uation in that province by the production of the fol-
lowing: 81 am candidate for Representative, and
want the job. I'll abide by the rules Of the coming
primaries, and promise if nominated not to amaze
the world by my craftsmanship, nor be the biggest
fool in Tallahassee. l am coming loaded and
didates, positively no infringement my campaign

would carry much weight at Tallahassee as many
of those whose every plank is promise. At any
rate he offers to perform nothing that is impossible,

WADE III. Jones Is canuluaCe IOr representative
from Brevard, and has formulated lengthy platform
explaining his position on many questions, among
them being the following: 81 believe that the State
primary law should be amended so as to allow wo-
men to become candidates for Office, because believe
in the fairness of it and because further believe
that an infusion of the purity of womanhood into
the principle of oficeholding would add to the dig
nifty and cleanliness of the public service"
Mr. Wades chivalric belief may win him adj
mirers, but it can hardly get him votes if his con-
stituency is better informed than he Mr.. Jones,
perhaps thinks he wants such amendment, but he
could obtain his desire more quickly by demanding

The Senatorial situation in Hamilton County is
condensing into sentiment for return of Hon. Frank
Adams Those who had announced for the Office
have withdrawn, with one exception yielding to the
demand publicly expressed that Mr.. Adams become

Seldom has there been such popular demonstra-
ton of the Office seeking the in this instance,
and it is remarkable proof of the esteem in which
Mr.. Adams is held Ivy his fellow-citizens.
That he will be compelled to grant their en-
treaties cannot be doubted, despite his retirement

the Senate he will contribute much to the usefulness
of that body.

Those who thirst for Office will not have much
longer to deliberate the question of submitting
their candidacy to the action of the people, as the

Perhaps reason for such political conditions is

effect on the masses. Instead of listening to such
recital, to be followed by investigation the history

such exposure gains votes for the candidate thus de-
nounced.
Yet in the same breath that calls for political

The Alp. WIN he Washed Away.

The Alps, from a geological point OF
view, are very recent. The Welsh
hills, though, comparatively speaking
insignificant, are far more ancient.
They had been mountains for ages and
ages before the materials which now
compose the Rigi or the Pilstus were
deposited. Indeed. we may say that
1t Is because they are so old that they
have been so much worn down. The
Alps themselves are crumbling and
being washed away. and If no fresh
elevation takes place the time viii
come when they will be no loftier than
Snowdon or Helvellyn. They have al
ready undergone enormous denudation,
and it has been shown that from the
summit of Mont Blanc some 10000 or
1900 feet of strata have been already
removed. Denudation began as soon
as the land rose above the sea and the
main river valleys were excavated.-
