Must Make Good as Commissioner.
A considerable number of the state
papers are of the same opinion as we
are in reference to the proposed can
didacy of Mr.. Burr. They think that
he should now prove his ability TO
make good in his present proposition
before he asks for promotion.-De-

make a Judge that Duval county can

Congressman w. B. Lamar and
Hon J. Walter Kehoe, both candi-
dates for congress, are meeting in the
first joint debate of the campaign to-
day at Pensacola, having been invit-
ed to do so by the Order of Railroad
Conductors, who will hold their an

J. F. c. Griggs and Jefferson D.
Stevens. too, should have been sum-
moned there, as they most assuredly
will have to be considered in the
warm times" that are coming fast
in this congressional district.-Talla-

Not Even Joke.
Thos J. L. Brown has been duly
announced as a candidate for senator
to succeed Senator Mallory, but we
fail to see where the joke comes in,
and surely it is not intended to be
taken ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Beeze.
Endorses Knott and McLin.
There are at least two members of
the present state officials that no one
seems to think of trying to defeat,
and these are Mr.. McIin and Mr..
Knott Both are good men and have
given satisfactory service.--DeFuniak
Breeze.
Watson For Governor.
A very strong pressure is being
brought to bear by the friends of Hon.
]. W. Watson to induce him to become
a candidate for governor.
So far Mr.. Watson has given no
intimation as to whether he will enter
the race or not. Should he decide to
do so, he will receive a very strong
support in every section of the state,
for there Is no man who has more
friends, nor whose ability and fitness
for the Office are more generally
recognized. We believe that should
Mr. Watson decide to become a candi-
date the chances are all in favor of
his election, in which event the affairs
of the state would be wisely and salts
factorily administered.-Miam News.

Ocala is considering something
unique in Florida politics. being
nothing more nor less than candi-

panied by "a record breaking barbecue
and basket dinner. On this occasion
every Candidate for State office will
be invited to be present and deliver
their Introductory speeches and prep
arations will be made for ten thou
sand-people, not candidates. The
proposed convention will probably be
held early in September. The matter
is in charge of the Ocala Board of
Trade who will push the suggestion
along until it ripens into a reality
Now Mr.. Candidate. you had Just as
well begin the preparation of your
speech, and arrange your affairs so
that you will be present on coming
out day Madison New Enterprise.
McBeath Not Candidate.
I'VE will do our best as a private
in the ranks to help along the man
who gets to be commander, and work
with him cheerfuily and Loyalty for
the upbuilding of the educational in
terests of the state, but we are not
seeking promotion, at least in that
line, just now. If there's any bee
been buZzing about our bonnet. we've
been so interested in watching the
others that we have not heard it.
CAS- compared with out present sur
roundings the Office of State Superin-

but one advantage-the matter of sal

but slight We are living at home
