Gov. Broward, while at West Palm
Beach [before the primary eleetionl
made offers of rewards for violating the
primary law, as follows:
1.-TWO hundred dollars will be paid by
me for the arrest and conviction of any
person giving a bride for a vote or
votes at the primary elections to be
held May 18th and June 18th, 1906
lone hundred dollars will be paid by
me for the arrest and conviction of any
person accepting bride for vote at
said elections.
lone hundred dollars will be paid by
me for each and every arrest and con-
yiction of a person voting illegally at
said elections.
There are other possible violations Of
the law TO which the Governor should
have giver attention Some of these
are, intimidation of voters, going with
a voter into an election booth and mark
ing his ticket for him, the use of dummy
ballots in the booths, etc
The Arcadia Champion distinctly init
mates that several OF these provisions
of the law were violated in this county
in last weeks primary If the Cham
pion has any knowledge of the facts, it
ought to report them 20 Gov. Broward,
Punta Gorda Herald.
II is right and proper that all things
should be done to prevent violations in
primary elections, and all good citizens
who wished the clean thing done watched
to see that the above was prevented And
all would rejoice in our Governor taking
such action as he did from his proper
place in the executive office But as he
has thrown executive and official dig
nifty TO the winds, taken the stump as a
peanut politician would do who might
have a scheme he wished worked, peo-
pie look on and are amused at his des-
perate antics IN behalf Of his drainage
board and all their outside advisers and
abettors in scheming, wondering what
will come next.
This, with the exposure we made last
week in regard to the Hunt Harris mat
ter and new developments as they come
to light, only goes to show how desper-
ate are becoming these great schemers,
and that now in their bulI-headed per.
sistence, they will do almost anything
in a dying effort to have things as they
wish.
One important and very notable fact
remains, however they are not making
haste TO give the dear people" any
tented statements of all their little
The people are entitled
to that information, evenif few more
clerks should have to be employed to do
it 1t is easy enough to find room for
new clerical help when you wish it
along other lines; now employ one to
keep the public posted early and often
as to just what items that internal I'M
provement mOneyis being spent on. If
it is going for dredge building and ditch
digging we guess you have authority
for it, if it is going otherwise, we have
doubts about your authority being suffi-
Gent for spending it in that way. Do

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.

The Quincy newspapers, said now TO
belong to the syndicate, have both had
changes in their management and edit
orship during the last few days. 1t has
been claimed that Miss Jefferson Bell,
former city editor of the used be
Daily Capital, employee of the Comp
troller's office, and correspondent for
number of Florida newspapers, owns
the Herald-Era. Very peculiarly, Mr..
Thomps on, who was it's manager and
editor, has shifted onto the Times, while
Mr., Pittman, who for some time was a
heavyweight on the Gadsden Times,
now promises TO make a better paper
of the Herald-Era; and these changes
took place, too, about the time the
changes were taking place with the
Capital Publishing Company, Of this
city, 1t does seem that some of the
State capitol gang is connected in some
way with some Of those things. It's
none of our affair, however, and we
shall not attempt 10 untangle the
string.

transferred his interest, whatever it
may have been. to the Sun Publishing

AS WE Are SIZED.

The interesting news comes from
Tallahassee that the bright and ire
pressible Claude L'Engle, Of the Jack
sonVille Sun, has purchased controlling
interest in the stock of the Capital
Publishing Company at Tallahassee,
will discontinue the daily issue of the
Capital and issue weekly in it's stead!
That it will be up-to-date, attractive
and aggressive goes without saying, for
we could not imagine Claude at the
head of a newspaper enterprise without
those characteristics. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the capital of Florida can't
support a daily newspaper but with
two bright and we'll edited weeklies,
the field will be fully occupied from now
on and there will be something doing of
an entertaining character up that way.
We suspect that the new paper will be
an administration sheet, not in the
sense of a thick-and-thin organ, but
that it will support Governor Broward's
leading policies, particularly the drain
age enterprise, and the Governor will
be doubtless happy to have such an ally
right at hand The excellent True
Democrat, whose editor always has the
courage Of his convictions and those
convictions generally "agin' the adj
ministration, will now have plenty of
company in Tallahassee; but we express
the earnest desire that the amenities of
debate may always be observed and
senatorial courtesy, unadorned by Texas
adjectives, may never be forgotten in
the most in1amed stages of any contro-
versy between the two distinguished
editors, who may be rivals without
being enemies Live Oak Democrat

The primary results IN Leon county
were particularly interesting. In the
senatorial contest, the administration
candidate carried only one precinct, in
which the total vote was eleven, and
received less than 25 per cent of the
county vote There were six candidates
for che House, the only one chosen be-
ing strongly antl-drainage; and the only
candidate openly advocating the drain
age proposition received only seventeen
votes st Augustine Record.

AFTER SICKNESS
Our Druggists, Council Bros, Tell
How To Regain strength.


How To- Regain strength.
sowing TO this changeable climate
and unreasonable weather, there has
been a good deal of sickness in Beld
ing during the past few weeks" said
| Mr. Cornell, of Connell Bros, our
] leading druggists, land we want to
! say to the people of Bedding and vi
entity that the one thing to aid re-
covery after sickness is to give the
patient bodybuilding and strength
restoring tonic, one that will create
an appetite and give strength to ev-
cry organ in the body"
Now" Continued Mr.. Connell,
"from an intimate knowledge of al
most every medicine on the market,
we do not believe there is another
remedy in the country equal to onr
delicious cod liver oil preparation,
Vinol, for this purpose.
Vinol is not a patent medicine, as
everything in 1t is Tabled on the back
label of every bottle: II contains ey-
ery one of the bodybuilding, medici-
nal elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, but
without drop of the system-clogging
oil to upset the stomach and retard
it's work.
1t acts directly on the stomach,
tones UP the digestive organs, creates
healthy appetite, makes pure rich,
red blood, healthy flesh and muscle
tissue, and creates strength for every
organ in the body.
Mr.. Edgar A. Howe of Concord, N.
II says that after long, severe sick
uess he was weak and annotated, all
tonics seemed of no avail, but Viuol
