now seems the most likely occupant
of the gubernatorial chair of Florida
for the next term.-Citrus County

Shaking Hands.

ton county cracker, but who now halls
from Pensacola and who is in the
swim to succeed Broward as governor
two years from now was shaking
hands with his many Tallahassee

WHAT'S in a Name?
We hear of only one objection to
the gubernatorial candidacy of T. AL
bert Jennings, the Pensacola naval
stores operator. and that is his name.
which of course, he cannot help But
his name will come very near defeat
ing him. even if the opposition is not
dangerous under other conditions

Jump In.
And the Hon T Albert Jennings
publicly proclaims that he will be
candidate for governor only if assured
that a majority of me people OF
Florida preferred him. Well, Albert,
my dear, the primary is the only in
strument of torture" that can tell you
how much the people prefer you. So
jump in my boy and take your
chance. ce.-Jacksonville Floridian.
The Strongest Man.
Hon. 7. A. Jennings has been
spending several days at the capital
among his many warm personal
friends and admirers. He is perhaps
the strongest man that has as yet
been talked of as candidate for COVER
nor of Florida. his native state Tai
lahasseeans, generally, are particu-
laTly fond of Jennings as he was a
student here for a long time in the
west Florida seminary, afterwards
the Florida state college and now
the Florida college for women, and
the pride of FloTidians, particularly

Democrat.
Browns Candidacy.
Hon. Jefferson Brown of Key
West will probably be a candidate for
governor at. the next primary cleo
ton. Mr.. Brown was formerly a
member of the railroad commission
and has held other positions of trust
and responsibility. He has friends
and admirers in every section of the
state and would no doubt be strong |
candidate. r. During our recent trip to |
his home town We gathered that he |
would practically have the united sup !

a large number of whom are very |
anxious to see him gOvernOr-Ljake |

Attracting Attention.
Hon. T A Jennings's candidacy |
for governor is attracting quite a |
good deal of attention. Almost every |
paper in the state speaKs of him in |
the most pIimentary terms. Not |
a single adverse criticism of his can
didacy has come to the Herald's /
notice The Punta Gorda Herald /
comes nearest it when II says it will /
support Gen. Gilchrist because he is !
a home man. 1t is said that Gilchrlst

and "Waycross."
Two candidates for governor were
in town yesterday-twO AlbeTts-
Jennings and GiIchrist. The similar
ity of the names by which their
friends speak of them caused a dis
cussion of the meaning of the initial

One statesman suggested that the t.

Mr.. Gilchrist has some advantage,
perhaps. over Mr.. Jennings thus far,
because a cigar has been named for
the candidate who has one foot
planted at Punta Gorda and the other

Mr.. Gilchrist is proud of the cigar:
