Those aspirants who have been in
training for Hon. Stephen R. Mallory
seat in the United States senate had
just as well conclude to wait a few
years, for it is now generally con
coded that Mr. Mallory will again be a
candidate IL succeed himself. the
people never had a more faithful ser
want in the United States congress.
He has never allowed himself to be
placed under obligations to any cor
porate interest, and his vote and infiu-
ence has always been in support OF
measures in the interest of the com
mon people. The Sun repeats what II
said few weeks ago. that it would be
n calamity to deny this faithful public
servant reelection should ne be can
didate to succeed himself He has
been true to the trust reposed in him,
and We have no doubt that the Dem
ocracy of Florida will stand by him.

We have long taken the position
that some of the best men in the
country are barred out of the state
legislatures and the national congress
because they cannot afford to lay
aside a good living for poor salary.
Take the state legislature, for in
stance. A man with any kind Of a
business cannot sacrifice il for sever
al months hard work at Tallahassee
on small pay. 1t is therefore left fer
farmers and men with no settled bus

The mayor then read to the officers
extracts from an afternoon paper.
which stated that they had criticized
the action of the mayor, saying that
it was a low down act and that he
had treated them unfairly. The board
desired to know If such statements
had been made, and the officers de-
MED that they had spoken in such
manner, but one of them stated thai
Mr. Warren had been spoken Of at
the time Captain Fondebilla was
then called as a witness, as he was
on duty at the station at the time.
and asked If he had heard such state

that he had not.

Mr.. Warren and not the mayor, and
contended that the room they occu-

Is little TO be said as regards their as

deal could be said and written. the
