JENNINGS AND THE GOVERNORSHIP

Hon. T. A Jennings, of Pensacola,
! in a lengthy interview in The Pen
sacola Journal of last Thursday Yir-
tually declared his intention TO be-
| come a candidate for governor. He
| is strongly endorsed editorially by
| The Journal and will prove a strong
man in the race. That he is a good
/ and able man Is proven by the fact
/ that The Pensacola Journal supports
! him. The Journal is not only west
| F7orida's leading daily but it is the
! most reliable big daily paper in the
/ state, being conducted not as the or
| gan of any faction, corporation or
| clique. but as legitimate newspaper
| should be. supporting WHAT II believes
! to be right regardless of ali else
| Wauchula telegram.
! The Pensacola Journal of Thurs
! day, April 4th, contained an article
| of an interview with Hon. I. A. Jen-
/ nings, in reference TO his probable
| candidacy for governor. We are salts
/ fiedLthaL- after giving the matter his
y consideration, that Mr.. jennings viii
! decide TO enter the race. His public
/ announcement, declaring that he has
! entered the race for Gubernatorial
| honors, will meet with the approval
/ of the entire state: or. in other words
| T. A. Jennings'S admirers are in the
| majority in the state of Florida, and
if it is his desire to succeed Governor
BrOward, all that he has to do is TO
say the word and his numerous
friends will see TO il that his request
is granted.-Jasper Banner
Hon. T. A Jennings's interview in
The Pensacola Journal reads good 10
us.-Lake City Index.
It looks as though Mr.. Jennings's
candidacy for the Office of governor
is to be a factor TO be reckOned IN
future discussions as to that Office
Jacksonville Times-Union.
We publish today an editorial from
The Pensacola Journal, in which the
probable candidacy of Hon. t. A. Jen-
nings, of that city, for governor, Is
fully and fairly discussed. The Jour
nal has a right 10 feel proud of their
fellowtownsman. Hon. T. A. Jennings.
He is a good and able man and no
doubt will be a candidate and if so,
will keep company until the final
count of the ballots with the best in
the race It's a long time until the
primary. however, and other sections
of Florida will later briRg out their
favorite sons TO battle with the
popular jennings for the governor
ship.-Live Oak Democrat
The practical announcement OF
! Hon. r. A Jennings that he will be
a candidate for governor will more
I than likely force the hand of other
probable entries in the gubernatoriaI
! race. Already. even in this G1lchr1sI
! stronghold, Mr.. Jennings is being IA
vorably discussed and no doubt unless
statements of their intentions are
made by others some will make up
/ their minds to support the Pensacola
| candidate. After a voter once makes
1 up his mind it is hard TO change and
| later entries Will be the loser by Mr.
! Jennings's earlier announcement and
| the support he viii be able to gather
| to himself while still unOppoSed. Mr..
| Jennings is a very able man and
man who would also make Florida an
| admirable chief executive, but DeSOtO
! county also has man of the same
] calibre whom we all down this way
| expect to support We believe our
| choice would be the gamer now that
! Mr.. Jennings is actually in the race
! to make some definite statement OF
| his intention, in order that his friends
may get 10 work for him-W-NIchula
| Telegram.
| Hon T A. Jennings has been for.
mally announced by his friends as
! a candidate for governor. If nOmina-
| ted and elected he Will make a good
one.-Brooksville Argus.
| Hon. T. A. Jennings. of Pensacola
| whose name has been prominently
mentioned by the state press as a
! probable candidate for governor of
| Florida, made his position known to
| Pensacola Journal reporter last
week. Mr.. Jennings plainly states his
! position and says he will make the
/ race if he is assured that he is the
/ peoples choice and can win on a
Il platform of peace and prosperity"
/ If he finally decides to enter the race
he will make a fight 10 win and 1t is
almost certain that he will succeed
/ for he is popular all over the state.
