AS stated before, the News is not a

Can't Agree
on Cranes Merits,

What solemn, but sidesplitting
comedy we sometimes make of our
politics in this country, including our
beloved state of Florida! The other
day Senator Bryan died and now ii
devolyes upon Governor Broward To
appoint his successor until the regr-
lar election for senator can be had in
the next legislature.
As a conscientious executive, he of
course desires to appoint the best
man available for the place, a man
who will do credit to Florida and
the democratic party as the success
sor of the lamented Bryan. Before
the latter was buried the applications
for the honor were coming in, and
doubtless the governor has an en-
barrassment of riches on his hands in
the fine lot of eligible senatorial tim
Der brought to his attention.
But the comedy feature comes up
from Hillsborough county. where
State Senator J. Z. Crane is holding
himself poised for the leap, so 10
speak, and will not be surprised, but
not the less gratified, if the senatorial
lightning should hit him fair and
souare. There is no comedy in that,

The Seville Square
Rally Tonight.

1t has been wisely determined BY
those in charge of the program. tina
the reception to Hon. John S. Beard
candidate for the United States sen
ate, arranged TO take place tonight
at Seville square in this city, shall be
made the occasion for grand rally o.
. the county and congressional candi
dates also.
There should be such a rally; it is
customary in political campaigns OF
this magnitude, and there could be
no better time and place than tonight
at Seville square. The indications
are for beautiful weather, and this,
with music, candidates and a big
crowd. will furnish an admirable op-
portnnity for the first really big
gathering of voters in which there
can be some old-time enthusiasm. 1t
is intended that all the candidates
who are present shall make brief
talks, state their platforms in few
words, and thus put themselves in
evidence in the most effective pos
cfD1S -DSHOI0 tuCl1
as seekers after votes. 1t will be a
fine chance for redhot, sententious
oratory, and we don't doubt that IL
will be fully improved.
But after all, it will be John Beard $
evening; he is to be the central
figure; the occasion was arranged
primarily in his honor. and hrs &C,
acknowledgement of the honor will be
the leading feature of the affair.
Mr.. Beard is Pensacola's candidate
for the United States senate at the
approaching primaries. He has just
made a noteworthy canvass of the en-
tire state. and was everywhere receiv.
ed with the consideration due to his
eloduence and ability Coming home
after such a comprehensive trip, in
which he put his case fully before the
people of Florida, his friends rightly
thought that the event should be sig
naliZed by a public reception given
him by his townSpeopie all deeply
interested in his success and eager to
promote it Consequently the rally
at Seville square tonight will
have Mr.. Beard as the most promi-
nent figure and full attendance of
his friends and supporters can be
safely expected. He is one of the best
takers in the state and will sum up
the situation tonight in way that
will be interesting to all.
Let us give him rousing turnout,
and with all the other. candidates
present also, there should be no lack
OF enthusiasm present.

ORIGIN OF THE cHAUTAUeuA
AT DEFuNiAk SPRINGS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In the latest communication by the
worthy correspondent of The Journal
from DeFuniak we note the claim
that this 'ehautauqua was. organized
| In the home of Dr. c. c.. Mclean at
Jacksonville, Fla, twenty-five years
ago This is doubtless correct, but
there is much that goes before and
the first idea of winter chautauqua"
came to Maj. w. J. Vankirk while he
and sisters were attending the parent
chautauqua in New York. He had not
completed the survey and plating of
the town of DeFuniak at that time
He and Capt. Chipley owned the town
site. 1t was at that time that Major
Vanklrk met Dr. Gilett and they too
consulted and decided the matter of
having such. an institution at DeFun-
lax On the majors return his whole
ideas and plans were submitted TO
Capt. Chipley and were heartily en-
dorsed BY him, after which c. c. Ban
MI and I. T. Wright were brought in
and the organization perfected.
The writer furnished eleven car
loads of dressed lumber for the first
buildings of the chautauqua grounds,
including the amphitheatre. from
our mills at Alec, Alabama No one
qua on solid basis as Major Van
kirk. His Gulf Stream was the
greatest advertising agency in west
Florida for the first ten or fifteen
years OF the chautauqua, and the
same could be said of Pensacola and
all of west Florida, and it was pub
lished at his own personal expense,
and at cost of some thousands of
dollars each year.
These men put in the money that
quilt the hotel and amphitheatre, and
gave bonuses towards the buildings
or several of the early and valuable
citizens; and notwithstanding the
free transportation furnished by
Capt Chipley, the enterprise was
losing one financially, and by and by
most of the original investment was
lost; yet Major Vankirk never lost
faith In its success or the success OF
DeFuniak as place and continued
his valuable support until his own
fortune was lost in the panic Of 1898.
The writer notes with pleasure the
success OF the chautauQua, and De-
Funiak. Also the boom" that is on
for Pensacola and the numerous
friends and boomers" that each
now has; but reverts in sadness to
the fact of what Major Vankirk did
III lhc uuII udgS NH6n men OF fId1In
in West Florida were few and now
that my boyhood friend and as good
and true friend of humanity as ever
walked the sands of Florida, now lies
in an unmarked grave
Capt. Chipley is kept in memory
by a beautiful shaft in the Plaza at |
Pensacola; Major Vanloirk deserves a |
grave in DeFuniak or Pensacola and |
a suitable shaft to mark the spot. |
There are men in Birmingham and |
Pensacola and west Florida made |
rich by Major Vankirk's help, and |
advice in his better days, ap6 more
by his misfortune and great loss in |
the panic of 1893. The workman dies |
but his work goes on

PENSACOLA. FLORIDA FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 81. 1905

| OF course but there is in the follow
ing from the two leading papers of
Tampa. The Tribune says:
There has been inaugurated in
| Tampa very strong move by friends
of State Senator James E. Crane to
| secure the appointment for that gen.
t!eman. Very powerful influence is
being brought TO bear on the COVER
nor toward this end; and, indeed,
Senator Crane is the logical choice
He is a man of mind, we'll known
throughout the state, thoroughly con-
versant with the requirements Of
Florida and has been a strong and
consistent supporter of Governor
Broward during the latter's political
career. The Tribune has reason TO
believe that the governor will recog-
nize the suitability of this appoint
ment and accede to the wishes of
Senator Cranes many hackers.
And right on the heels of this
comes the following from the
Tribme's beloved contemporary, the
Times:
concerted movement among
limited number of the politicians of
Tampa has for its object the appoint
HiSnI Oh james II. crane or this city
to fill the remainder of the vacancy
made in the senate by the death of
Mr.. Bryan. The Times is not dis
posed to discuss the matter in much
detail, but it wants to go on record
as declaring the suggested appoint
ment one utterly unit to be made.
Mr.. Crane has neither the caliber nor
the character which qualities men for
the United States senate. His experi.
ence along that line is limited to a
term IN the state senate in which he
managed to disappoint his friends and
only by a miracle more or less sham
did he avoid coming in contact with
unpleasant demonstrations upon his
return home
Now what is poor Governor Brow
ard to do in case like that in which
he will be damned if he does and be
damned If he doesn't? The only So
luton is to cut out the alleged. and
purely fanciful claims of South Flor
ida to the senatorship and come over
here into the great and growing wesr.
and pick the man who is to wear the
laurel. We won't mention his name:
the governor knows it well.
