ate.
Fred. p. Cone
Another new senator who will prove
exceedingly popular is Fred Gone, OF
Lake City, who comes to Tallahassee
for the first time as legislator. Mr..
Cone is young man, but born
fghter-one of those fellows that be-
lieve in fighting to a finish" He is
a shrewd politician, and has managed
more than one campaign in Columbia
county.
just after the primaries there was
some talk of running Mr. Cone as the
administration candidate for president
of the senate, and if he had agreed to
it there would have been little doubt
as to his election. At that time it was
uncertain what Lake City intended to
do in the way of asking Legislation
effecting the university of Florida and
that town, and Mr.. Cone declined to
have his name considered as a possible
candidate under these conditions. He
is warm personal friend of Governor
Broward, and will WELD considerable
in 1uence in that body for new man
Mr. Cone was elected to the senate
over DR.. A. P Julian, of Lake. City,
who was a member Of the last house
of representatives. He succeeds Guy
Gillen of the same town. Before Mr.
Gillen went to the senate, Circuit
Judge Bascom H Palmer had held this
seat for eight years, and only resigned
to accept the position of circuit judge.
Frank Adams.
Perhaps the oldest member of the
next senate, in point of continuous
service, is Frank Adams, of Jasper, the
senator from Hamilton county Mr.
Adams has twice been president of the
senate, and would have made a strong
race for the position this time had he
allowed his name to be considered
Frank Adams is one of the best par
lIamentarians in the senate, and is an
exceptionally good speaker. He is a
good politician. During the last ses-
sion of the senate Mr. Adams, to the
surprise of many, had charge of the
governors bill providing for state life
insurance, and managed it we'll He
was opposed by Hunt Harris, for the
opposition, and it wak battle royal
1 never think of Frank Adams with
out thinking of Jen Browne It was
Spottswood, / think, who got off the
joke on Adams and Browne during
the session of 1908, when they were
nick-named 10 per cert Jeff," and
sWaterworks Frank" Whether the
conversation ever really took place or
not, IL is certain that SPOTS gave
them nicknames, that win always
stick.
Frank Adams is rather short in
stature, and stout, with a round face,
and lips that are always parted in a
smile. He has a kind good cheerful
word for everyone, and is deserved
ly popular man.
e. e. Canova.
The senator from Baker and Clay
counties, is E. e. Canova, of Sander
son. This is the second part of his
term, he having been elected in the
primaries two years ago. Senator
Canova is a rather large man, and has
a quiet disposition. 1t was said some
e1AS deo, IA ldCs II was puDiiSiy cH-
just after the adjournment of
the last legislature. that he would be
a candidate for state treasurer to sue
ceed w. v. Knott. Since the news
papers have opened up the campaign
this year. however, the politician from ,,
has been keeping pretty |
quiet Perhaps he has read the hand |
to try chances with Knott He ought |
not to, for Knott viii tie him in knot, |
and it will not take two primaries for
Knott to show him he can not be treas |
urer. c. Fabian Law, of Green Cove
Springs, and c. F. Barber, of McCien- |
ny, were two OF Senator Canova's pre- |
decessors in the senate.
