; What State Editors are Saying {
When His Temper Slides The Bridal

Hon. J. \. c. Stockton, of Jack
sonville, has definitely announced
that he is candidate for Governor,
and the announcement will arouse
much interest in political circles
throughout the State. Mr.. Stockton
is strong man. strong in his per-
sOnality, strong in his record and
strong in the size and character of
his following. And he is fighter,
too, they say; too pugnacious. some
maintain, and mighty reckless with
his tongue when his temper slips the
bride. Now that he is fairly in the
field, We may be sure that he has
given full consideration to the mag
nitude OF the task ahead of him, and
that he will make vigorous cam
paign all over the State that will
keep his competitors on the jump.
A man of his positive and aggressive
character always has enemies, but
they all cOncede his integrity, his
courage and his capacity. He is a
strong foe to the liquor traffic, and it
is almost certain that leading plank
in his platform will be State prohi-
bitiOn. Doubtless he will be at the
cOming-Out convention in OcaIa to-
morrow and will make speech fully
stating the issues upon which he will
make his campaign for the nOmina-
uOn.-Live Oak Democrat.
