Pasco Thinking.
1t is said that former United States
Senator Sam Pasco is thinking seri-
ously of entering the senatorial race.
If he does he will prove a long run
ner and close finisher.-Miami Me
tropolis.
Bailey's Cannon.
It is reported that former United
States Senator Samuel Pasco will be
a candidate for the same office at the
coming primary. If he announces fer
the place It is dollars to doughnuts
that the long silence of General Ed
Bailey of Monticello will be eroken.
The general has not yet been heard
from since his defeat for railroad
commissioner in 1906, but Uncle Sam
mics" candidacy for any office would
undoubtedly bring the general and Ills
famous cannon again into the lime
light-Gainesville Sun.
Broome and Myers.
Hon. W. B. Lamar now announces
that he Will be a candidate for the
q. S. senate. This announcement
causes the friends of Hons. Fred
Myers and j. e. Broome to get busy
In an effort to induce them to try
for the place occupied by Mr.. Lamar
and the probabilities are that Messrs.
Griggs and Kehoe will yet have
these two gentlemen to contend with
before either of them is named as
the nomine for congress from that
district.-Taylor County Herald.
Ex-senator Paseo.
Ex-senator Pasco is one Of the
best politicians in Florida and he is
not in the least spectacular or OBJ
trusiye about 1t. It is reliably an
nounced that he intends to be a can
didate for the United States senate
to succeed the late Senator Mallory.
If this is true and Mr.. Pasco gets
busy with the fixed purpose of going
back to his old seat In the senate,
he will be a mighty good man for his
opponents to watch. To underrate
him would be great mistake. He
Made an excellent record as United
States senator for two terms, and he
has strong and influential, friends
all over the state who will probably
back him up in his ambition to go
bacis to washington. His record is
unassailable and strong factor in
his behalf is that he is one of the
leading Confederate veterans OF the
state, and the old soldiers would
trance itno the contest gives addi-
unprecedented in Florida politics.
Live Oak Democrat
Beard Strong Man.
John Beard ought to be happy
man The only West Florida sena-
torial candidate in the field, with
West Florida's vote at his back. he
has a force behind him of which no
other candidate can boast.-Pensa-
cola Journal.
That depends upon what you call
West Florida. Mr.. Lamar, who is
now in the field for Senator, halls
from Monticello, and if that is not in
West Florida, then Mr.. Beard has no
opposition In that geographical sec
ton of the state, and 1t is quite like
ly that he will carry it at the pri-
maries. His strength in the rest of
| the state is, of course, an unknown
quantity, and the same may be said
of the other candidates, but he is a
strong man on the stump, and he will
make the whole people Of Florida
well acquainted with the fact that he
| is in the race before the campaign is
over. Thus far. he can probably
count upon more definite measure
of strength than any of his rivals.
