FLORIDA FOR SMALL CAPITAL.
Governor Emphasizes Accessibility
But People Have Preferred inaccessi-
biIity to Corporate Control.

Tallahassee, Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD.- Gov
ernor Broward of Florida is not
convinced that it is better to have CAPT
tai located at Tallahassee than at
Jacksonville, the principal city OF the
state. Because OF superior railroad
facilities Jacksonville is more easily
accessible to majority of the people
in the state than Tallahassee.
There is decided advantage IN
having the capital in Il large city" said
Governor Broward tonight. Il think
the forces OF corruption are more nu-
merously present in the large cities
during sessions of the Legislature and
that it is easier for members to be
placed under such influences but on the
other hand it seems impossible to get
away from such influences and in the
small city the representatives of the
wealthy corporations are present
whereas the counteracting influences
may not. by reason of inaccessfb:lity
and the cost attendant upon reaching
members in the small city, be able to

CENTRAL LOCATION BEST
An Easily Accessible Capital Desired
By Ohio.

Columbus. O., Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD. =
The state Of Ohio l.: particularly fortu
nate in having it's capital at Columbus
In the centre of the state. Ohio is Il
little over two hundred miles square
and Columbus is situated just a little
south and west OF the centre of the
state. Columbus was selected as the
capital of the Buckeye State. however
before the question of big cities cam =
UP. ii being chosen because of its c"1-
tral location. Seemingly, the selection
has been q wise one and no proposition
to remove the capital from Columbus
has been considered Ohio has two
cities larger than Columbus. Cleveland
in The northeast corner and Cincinnati
in the southwest.
Governor A. l.. Harris, in discussing
tonight the benefits of having the cap
ital in the central part of the state, said
that Columbus was the logical city for
the capital being more convenient and
accessible to the pcopl" of all parts Of
the Commonwealth. He said that
while conditions in other states of the
Union might make it advisable 70
locate the capital in the largest city
of the state and away from the center
of it no such condition exists in Ohio.
Auditor of STATE W. d. Guilbert said
that many good reasons can nc ad
varced for keeping the capital in the
center Of the state. As for Ohio. this
state. he said, is especially favored, as'
the railroad connections are Of the
very best. only q small portion Of TIC
state-that which is in the direct cen
ter-is especially benefited by having
the capital in such close proximity and
the other parts Of the state all have
advantages equal to each other.
AS far as the political influence Is
concerned ii is not believed that il
make any difference whether the Capi-
tai is in smaller city in the central
part of III" state or in n larger one o.
The border. If there is anything wor' Il
going after in til" way Of legislation
the politicians. it IS held will flock to
the capital despite its location.

COLUMBIA SUITS ANSEL
Small Cities Better For Capitals Than
Larger Ones.

Columbia, s. C.. Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD.-
Charlestown, the largest city in South
Carolina. was formerly the capital or
the state. The location of the city on
the coast and therefore not easily acces-
sible from towns in the upper portion OF
the state, made it an unfavorable place
for the capital and so accordingly it was
decided to change it to more central
and convenient place.
A commission decided to remove the
capital TO a site, then known as Taylor
Plantation. This was an open tract OF
land under cultivation. A town was laid
off and from that small village sprung
the present city of Columbia. The change
was made simply for geographical rea-
sons and the relation of the smaller to
the larger town was not factor in
bringing about the change
II think the greatest advantage TO the
people OF the state Of the location of tho

think it much better to have the
location in the smaller city on
account Of the distractions the me
tropolitan city affords. But in my mind
the most important question to be con-
sidcred is to select the site most easily
reached from all sections of the state"
A prominent state official says that tho
advantages of the state and public in
locating the capital away from the larg-
est city of the state are many.
I'm locating the capital in the metro
politan town you put the legislative and
executive branches of the government
directly in contact with the corporate
wealth OF the commonwealth. And cor
pora.e greed in this country is evident.
Our state officials should be honest, and
most of them are, but the ever present
temptations placed around them and be-
fore them are dangerous obstacles to pu-
in the pathway of our government. TIL.

Cics. which labor constantly for legis-

cannot say that l think there are any
decided advantages in having the State
House located in the smaller city.
There are advantages to be sure. but
these arc offset b. advantages in favor
Of the larger cities"
state Comptroller Groom IS an ardent
advocate Of the small city for the State
House. He is positive that the temp
tatiOnS to officers are less in the small
cities and that there are few diversions
and consequently more time can b.
given to the states business. There
has been continuous effort to move
the state capital to Jacksonville but II
remains in Tallahassee by the prepon-
derance Of public opinion in favor OF
