to see R. w. SJorTs, of the DeFuniak

Divided Newspaper Support.
The papers in this end OF the state
seem to be pretty badly divided ON
the question of support of man for
| the senatorship. The Milton Star is
| a strong supporter OF Fletcher, the
Pensacola papers naturally enough
are for Beard. Neither OF the Chip
| ley papers are very pronounced for
any one, neither is the Mariana Times
Courier. For congress the lineup is
badly mixed.-DeFuniak Breeze.
Dunn Looks Good for the Job.
The Monticello News says that "of
all the candidates for railroad COM

Dunn looks best to the News. Dunn

OF the Madison Recorder, has had
long experience as secretary to the

pledge its support at this time. as

Walk-over for Frank Clark.
Congressman Frank Clark will prob
ably have another "Walk-over'' in the
May primary, Judge Farris of Jack
sonVille, who had announced his in
tention to make the race against him
having concluded, it is said, that it
is useless to do SO at this time. The
Judges second sight is certainly
much clearer than his first, and he
Will save himself much time and ex-
pense by keeping out of the race.
The "pee-wees" will never be able to-
dislodge Congressman Frank Clark in
the year 1908. The man does not
live in the second district, no matter
how much campaign dough he may
command, who can defeat him at this
| time.-Gainesville Sun.

Mr.. Beard spoke here Monday night.
to large and appreciative audience,
which was composed for the most
part OF men who can cast vote in
the primary next May, and he certain
ly made very favorable impression
with those that heard him speak. Mr..
Beard ranks as one of the best ora
tors of the state, is a gentleman of
strong personality, a fluent and grace
ful speaker and We predict will male

One thing certain-we can assure Mr.
Beard that he did not lose any friends
or supporters in High Springs, when
he addressed the people here, Monday
night, and the candidate that secures
the large end Of the vn+as for U. s.
senator in Alachua county, will have
to defeat him.-High Springs Messen-

Beard Must Be Reckoned With.
OF all the candidates for United
States senator, d. u. Fletcher is prob
ably the most pleasing speaker, but
Will Bryan is without doubt the most
