Bryan for President.


How strange it seems that the dem

who. for individual advancement, do
allall they can to break up party unity
and give the other party victory Be
cause they don't agree with Mr.. BRYAN
they wish to see him defeated. Be
cause will not become the plant tool,
they do all they can to crush him.
We don't agree with Mr.. Bryan in all
his policies, yet we believe he is the
man for the place, and that he would
have the courage of Andrew Jackson
with the intellect Of Calhoun He
would know the right and dare to do
it. If we ever hope to elect demo-
crat, we must be governed by prin-
ciple and not policy. Bryan is the en-
bodiment of all that is noble in man.
He is possessed of all the better attrib-
utes and would make a president that
would rank with Washington. Jeffer-

the nominee and elected is our hum

FIorida's Governor.

Florida has had governors and gov
errors, but Governor Broward has
come nearer living up to his cam
paign pledges than any governor that
ever served the state, and when his
term expires it can be recordeds that
he accomplished more in the inter
ests OF the people than any man that
ever occupied the executive chair.
Broward is bigger and nearer the peo-
pie today than any time in his life.
and notwithstanding the slush and

press. his influence in state affairs
will continue for years to come to the

to say a good word for our boyhood
friend, Judge Charles Henry Laney,
of Pensacola, who is a candidate for
congress in that district. We have
known ham for nearly fifty years and
can testify to his ability and his vir-

is needed in congressman; and If
he should be sent to congress he will
undoubtedly add lustre TO the fair
name of Florida. Indeed, the whole
state should feel an interest In hav-
ing Laney sent To congress, for his
services as congressman would re-

The Times has every reason to be-
lieye that Mr.. Griggs. if elected to
congress, will represent the district in
dts entirety, and will refuse to advo-
cate any measure that is intended as
special privilege While holding
public Office in the past, Me. Griggs
has been broad enough to look at all
public measures from an unselfish
standpoint, 1T being his desire to serve
the best interests of the whole people
regardless of the opinions Of the few.
In the matter of improving the wa
terways of the country, Mr.. Griggs
stands pledged to do all in his power
in furtherance, as he recognizes that
the better the waterways-their inn
provement made TO meet the demands
of commerce-the people as a whole
will be benefited. And this improve
ment must come largely-almost
wholly in fact-through congressional
action. Improved waterways means
the cheapening of freight rates-enab-
ling the consumer to purchase his food
and clothing and other essentials of
living, at price less than formally.
And every citizen, whether he lives
upon the seacoast or the remote inte-
rfor. is vitality interested in the work,
