great convention and William
Jennings Bryan is declared tor
the third time the presidential
nominee of the democratic
party.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10 1905.

There IS no discounting the
fact that John Beard. one of the
senatorial candidates, is full of
bis pet "disfranchisement"
policy, and in presenting it
argues it in its every phase with
logic and force approaching
conviction. He is a splendid
speaker and a man of command
ing appearance and distinguish
ed bearing which adds force to
his argument.

The s.. Petersburg Indepen-
dent threatens to publish on the
goth inst, a list of candidates
who have not paid their an
nouncement fees 10 that paper
Why. Powell, we thought it was
the rule throughout newspaper
dom to require payment in al
vance for all such advertising
That is the rule we have adopt
ed and we find it IS the best
best for the candidate as we'll as
for the editor.

Under the call of the county
executive committee April 18th
is the last day on which candi-
dates for county Office may
qualify and have their names
printed on the legal ballot. That
day is fast approaching. It be-
gins to look like all the candi-
dates have announced though of
course it is possible that a few
may wait until the last moment
before deciding to take the
plunge

Pensacola has been in the
throes Of a labor strike for sew
eral days and it became so seri
Gus that the aid of the State
militia had to be called upon
for the preservation of peace
RiotIng between the strikers
and their friends and the strike
breakers brought from New
York led to some bloodshed
though so far as we have learn
ed no death resulted. The
strikers were the motormen and
conductors of the electric street
railway.

The editor of the Polk County
R cord who has always posed
as an administration man" and
is undoubtedly a warm personal
friend and admirer of governor
Broward, says 10 the last issue
of his paper that "The death Of
Senator Bryan would havegiven
Lamar the nomination in the
first primary had not governor
Broward announced for the
position of United States sena-
tor. With Broward in the race
we will have a second primary
and the contestants will be
Lamar and Fletcher. The gem
eral belief is that Lamar will
win out. 4" Editor Mathews is
right when he says that Brow
ard will not make a strong race,
he came out too late. A ma
jority Of his friends have al.
ready pledged themselves to
the other candidates"

Hon R Hudson Burr is out in
a letter in which he states that
he will not be a candidate for
governorin the coming primary.
It will be remembered that just
about the close of the session of
the last legislature Mr.. Burr
announced his candidacy for the
goyernorship and raised the
hopes OF the newspaper gang
who, remembering a former
campaign OF that gentleman,
saw visions Of columns upon
columns Of plate matter at so
much per column. But Mr. Burr
has reconsidered. He dissatisfied
with the candidacyof Mr., Stock
ton for the governorship and
himself has policies tocarry out
as member of the Railroad
Commission. hence be will re-
tain his present job and not
seek to so higher.

mo candidate who has a
decent regard for the opinion of
the public will bring any per-
sonalities into this campaign.
The voters may be, and are, di.
vided in their support of men
aud measures but they are a
unit in demanding a clean cam
paign." The foregoing from the
DeFuniak Breeze is written to
apply to Walton county, but
may, with all propriety be
adopted in every other county
of the State. The candidate
who tries to gain office by in
jecting personalities against bis

candidate who win find himself
