TFammeII For lIsxt GOVERNOR

TT8mnlell For Rext Governor
Whileit issometime before the
next primary, we forecast that
Hon. Park Trammell, if he will
make the race, will be Florida's
next governor Mr.. Trammell,
has in every trust proven him
self worthy of the confidence of
the people. la his experience
of several sessions in the Flori-
da Legislature, he thoroughly
demonstrated that he was man
OF ability and a true friend to
the people of his State, No man
in the State has a better legisla-
tive record. AS Attorney Cen
eral he is doing good work for
Florida, His stand for public
ity in public affairs; his position
that when large tracts Of the
State land are to be sold they
should be advertised; his stand
for through investigation before
pardons are granted, and his
position against the employment
of General and special counsel
by the State Internal Improve
meut Board, when unnecessary
are all commendable and add in
no small degree to the high es-
TEEN in which he is held by the
people of Florida.
Park Trammell tor Florida s
next Governor is in the air, and
we predict that the sentiment
will grow until it lands him in

The following from the Atlanta

State Legislators stop ard think,
and kill measures that only make
Florida a laughing stock to the

Georgian says:

ton are doing in the Florida
legislature. Witness the follow

reimburse parties who shall here
after lose property or money by
theft or other fraudulent means, {"
Get that? Try again:
"A bill to be entitled an act to
reimburse parties who shall here
after lose property or money by
theft or other fraudulent means. +"
Maybe that is something to
read, ponder and inwardly di-
gest" for you.
For this bill has not only come
before the house of the Florida
legislature, but it came under
the head of Select Orders, +" be-
ing especially set for 10 o'clock
the morning of Friday; April q,

1t was passed by a majority of
4s to 20, and that

We are told that all building

come TO an abrupt ending in
Tampa and Jacksonville be-
cause the prohibition amend
ment was passed by the legisla.
ture and that if the amendment
is ratified these towns will be
killed dead, a Jacksonville
drummer said in Starke a few
days ago that the project f o r
the erection of a ten story build
ing bad already been abandoned
because OF the passage of the
amendment. The nerves OF our
friends in these cities seem to be
somewhat overweight and as a
friend whois cool and calm we
beg to suggest to them that they
do not advertise the funeral so
far in advance, In the Fl r S
place the prohibition amend
ment may not be ratified. We
believe it will, but it may not
be- And in the second place
prohibition will not kill either
of these towns unless their citi.
Gems just make up their minds
that they shall die and decay DIS
a demonstration of the awful eff
fects of prohibition. OF course,
the citizens of any town can kill
it if they so will, but there is no
longer any use to try to tn fl
people on CUFF about prohibition
killing a town. There are too
many examples to the contrary
right in our own state. Just by
way of re-assuring citizens of
Tampa aud Jacksonville who
are already seeiug spooks the
