GOVERNOR AND PRESS.

The Miami Evening Record, which
has been staunch supporter Of the
stockton-Broward political faction. re.
fers as follows to that part OF the
Governors message condemning Ger.
tain newspapers and asking the Legis.
lature to ~muzzlev them by the enact.
ment Of a law which would prohibit
editors expressing honest opinions re-
garding men and measures with which
they took issue, Says The Record:
in his message to the Legislature
the Governor recommended 10 that
body that laws be passed making It a
misdemeanOr to circulate in print any
false Information upon any public
question, or TO print any malicious
statement or falsehood about a eandi.
date for Office.
This section of the message has
given rise to considerable criticism
of the Governor and that distinguish.
ed gentleman has replied in a letter
which is published in today's Evening
Record.
1T would appear that the Governor
is too sensitive to attacks by news.
papers.
Every newspaper man who dares
express an opinion contrary to that
held BY his brethren of the press
knows what it is to be pilloried in
public print, and soon learns to value
adverse criticism at its true worth.
Newspaper criticism of candidates
and measures, even in the hottest of
Florida campaigns. is mild and gen.
tie to what was the custom of half
century ago all over the country.
THE American people have learn
ed that in full and free discussion by
the newspapers of every phase of po-
litical life is safety, and they will sub.
NIT to no laws that will curtail that
freedom of the press to criticise and
blame, even If the bounds of truth are
overstepped. Exaggera,
tion is at times better than no ex-
at all.
ITO layman the enforcement of
the Governors proposition would APP
pear to be extremely difficult. How
Is It to be determined when informa.
ton furnished to newspaper is un.
true? What shall constitute mali
ciousness, where newspaper has no
feeling against a candidate other
than the desire to see an opponent
elected?
las an instance: During the last

himself appeared in print In a Key |
West paper over his own signature,
informing the people of Monroe coun.
" that all the counties in the drain.
lge district were in favor of the con.
'titutional amendment
AS it turned out only one of the
i've counties in the district was in
avor Of the amendment.
Would the Governor, under his
law, be amenabIe to pun
shment for a misdemeanor in circu-
ating false information?
