Secretary Taft thinks it would have
been just as well if Vermont had not put
up $1,000 majority, as he is inclined
to the belief that the party managers
would have been less inclined to be

Live Oak on Tuesday pulled of one
of the most interesting municipal
campaigns in her history and there
were several surprises in the result
in which some Of the good old timers
went by the board in obedience to
what seemed the general demand for
new deal. But Live Oak made no
mistake when she retained Charles
H. Brown, president of the First Ma
tional Bank there as a member of the
board of aldermen. Men Of his type
are the city builders, alert, vigorous,
large minded and progressive, and his
city deserves general congratulations
that she has kept in her government

of the state who is devoted with all
his heart TO the advancement of his

Why has South Florida stronger
claims upon the senatorial succession
than any other part of the state? The
point is to get the best man in Flor
ida for the place, no matter what
county he comes from. Such a man
would be equally loyal to all sections,
not only from conscientious sense
of duty, but because the people OF
one end of the state would be just as
essentially his constituents and just
as able to harm or help him If he
should seek reelection as the people
from the other end. For many years
in succession Alabama sent Morgan
and Pettus to Washington as her two
senators and yet they were both citl-
zens of the same little city of Selma
and had been ever since the civil
war. They were her two very best,
and the mere matter OF residence was
not permitted to interfere with their
election. No part OF Florida is more
entitled to the honor of this, sena-
torial succession than another. Give
us the best man in the state for the
position no matter where he comes
from. Neither county nor sectional
lines determine character nor the fit
ness of men for public trust.

Broward's Senatorial
Candidacy.

The entrance of Governor Broward
into the senatorial campaign in this
state, is sensational in a mild way
but hardly surprising. 1t had been
long suspected that the governor
wanted to go TO the United States
senate and only his fine loyalty to his
friend, Mr.. Bryan, prevented him
from announcing for that office at the
beginning of the campaign. Mr.. Bry-
ans death has left the way clear for
him. and now he takes the field and
will undoubtedly make a vigorous
canvass of the state.
What strength he has in such an
issue is purely conjectural, for it
cannot be measured by the winning
race he made for governor nearly
four years ago. AT that time he had
a large and definite issue in the mat
ter of reelaimdng the Everglades
which appealed strongly to the peo-
pie. regardless of his own personality,
and because he had that issue he won
the fight. But he is without that adj
vantage in the contest upon which
he has now entered and must make
the race on the force Of his person
ality and the strength of the record
he has made as governor.
And moreover, he has, as competi-
tors for the honor, some of the ablest
and most widely known men in Flor
ida, Messrs. Beard, Lamar and Fetch
er, who have been busy in the field
for weeks, canvassing through the
state generally, and each OF whom, it
may be fairly assumed, has secured a
large following. Under these circum-
capped more or less by his belated
entry into the campaign, and hence
We say that his strength is conjec-
tural and it is hard to make any in
telligent comparison Of his pros
poets for success with those of his
opponents.
But beyond question the governor
is strong man with the democracy
Of Florida and he has a following in
all parts of the state that viii stand
by him for senator as resolUtely as
they have stayed with him during his
executive career. He is able and
diplomatic: knows how to make
friends and how to hold them, and
the distinguished gentlemen who are
opposed to him for the Office all well
understand that the new entry is a
formidable one, and that they have
need for increased yigor and vigi-
lance now that Broward is in the
saddle. booted and spurred. and ami

Is Pensacola progressing or RETRO

Some mine years ago /, with part

the east side of the Commandments
street wharf, and owing to the expira-
ton of lease we desired to move same
to west side of the same wharf, just
162 feet, and asked a permit to do SO.
After many delays 1T was refused, and
after another delay we ascertained
the reason. 1t was that we wanted TO
build wooden building covered with
sheet iron inside of the fire limits, and
we just could not do II. We were
told, however, we could erect a brick
mill After having several permits
refused us, and incurring various ex-
penseS amounting to over $1,000, we
were granted the permit for the re-
inforced concrete walled mill just too
late TO erect same for that years busi-

fore, though ] and many another OBJ

water is wetter around there.
Now nine years hence, to have a
building permit granted for the sheet
iron covered shack that graces (?) the
corner of Palafox and Garden streets,
that is used for a marble yard is un-
bearable. Now | bear the owners of
this building no i'll will of any kind,
nor do i wish TO discourage them; 1
only ask, Are we progressing?
The site we asked for permit for
was 375 feet from the nearest build
ing, then or now, and was for a
wooden-framed building, to be com
pletely covered with corrugated iron.
Another of the permits refused was
for a "steel-framed sheet iron covered
building"
If / mistake not, the ordinance was
read to me requiring all buildings be-
ing built or to be built inside of the
fire limits to have walls s inches
thick of brick or other freproof ma

Let us have the fire limit, and, for
that matter, let us extend it. / believe
the experience of our sister cities,
