Seems like we folks of the Third
Congressional District are going to
have the very warmest of the warm
political battles of the statement year
Congressman Lamar wants to retain
his seat in Congress but Walter ke-
hoe wants to take it away from him.
This has been known for some time.
Now comes the news that JEFF Steph-
ems of Jackson cOunty-whO was an

another try for the same place. And
as if these three are. not enough here
comes a report that Judge J. c. F,
! Griggs of Franklin is also casting All
eye at the same place and is trimming
his sails for a landing in WASHINGTON.
All we've got say to Messrs KehOe,
Stephens and Griggs is that Bill La,
mar is somewhat of a runner himself
and being an old and experienced
hand at the game they've got to keen
at it every minute if they would even
/ stay in sight of Billy's heels.-Madi-

Burr's announcement has knocked |
West Florida all in a heap. not be-
cuse he is a stronger and better
man than some of the others Who
have announced their candidacy for
this position, but because It is said
that Burr is the administration can
didate and Broward has got his hand
on his shoulder. West Florida was
dreaming that Governor Broward
would carry Jennings to success in
the hollow of his hand.-Ocala Ban
