There's no kind of doubt
about It. Bill Lamar made a
fue impression upon the peo-
pie OF the counties 10 which he
has'visiled during the past few
weeks. The newspapers Of
0cala, Fort Myers. Tampa and
other places in that section Of
the State, speak OF his speeches
as eloquent and forcetul, full of
logic, good sense and couvinc-
ing argument, and withal refer
to him and his candidacy in the
most dattering terms, 1t looks
more and more every day like
Bill is a winner.

Judge Speer of the Fedora,
Court in Georgia has decided
that a man who kills another
in a post Office can be tried for
murder in the United States
court. Therefore. if you are
just bent on killing somebody
and can't be stopped, get your
man away from the post Office
before you do the killing else
you might have to be tried in
the .. S. Court, and that, you
know, isn't near so convenient
as a trial at home.

Within the last few days Gov
ernor Broward has suspended
from Office two Sheriffs-one in
Hillsboro and one in Lake. We
believe in suspension from office
of any officer who neglects his
duties or violates the rules OF
law and decency. We only hope
that in the days to come the
governors action will meet the
approval of the Senate and that
the State will not be again put
to the necessity of paying for
services twice--the fees Of the
suspended officer as well as the
lees of the officer appointed in
his place.

NO MORE ARRESTS
INTEREST IN THE GRAFT CASES IS
 DIMINISHED.
Eyidence of voters League in Pitts- burg Went To puH1fc Teo S0om AnA Pace Ia
 sIackenea.

Pittsburg, Dec, 2e-Indications are that there will be no more arrests in connection with the city councilmanic scandal in the near future
 There is a belief that Is steadily gaining new supporters that the Voters .Leagde. which instituted the probe into the municipal body when it caused the arrest of seven councilnien and two former bankers last week, wAs forced to act before the plans of its imported. detectives were fully This was caused yIt ss said ey Bank Examiner aarrison Neahit's discovery of ia note in one of the national banks serving as a city depository Ynich if Is alleged compromised two of the of- ftesrs of that bank.
 In support of this belief. 1t Is point sdeout that none Of the Leagues of- ficers or any one else connected with the prosecutions has. up to the present time, offered. so far as the public knows. anything in support Of the charges of corruption in the paving contract in the bridge ordinances or any of the measures mentioned in the affidavtts except those connected with the city depository banks. Investiga- ton of these banks by Federal agents t4 still in progress. tfhAS A1a &a6H " 0tA pFE14USA4 OI Luo Voters League in his first statement regarding the scandal said the League had much more evidence ana that many more arrests would follow and other officers of the League have reiterated these statements. 1t was said today by persons closely allied with the prose- cution that the League would not take the initiative in any further arrests and that If there is such action it will have to be taken either by the United States authorities or by the district at- torney of Allegheny County.
 District Attorney William 4. Blake iy, who immediately took up fhe Cases when the police magistrate held the nine accused men for courts admins that his office is diligently working on the cases but refuses fos say whether present efforts arH ooEfined to the casas already presented or to new ones being worked up. United States District Attorney John W. Dunkie has not been officially ad- vIsed Of any steps taken ip the eases but has informally diseessed them with the bank examiner
 Definite plans' for fhe immediate future it fs expected win be decided upon tomorrow when Mayor Guthrie. District Attorney BIakely and officers of the Voters League will hold a~con- ference.
