Editors as Legislator

Editor Mayes of the Pensacola Journal,
blushingly declines TO be considered a
candidate for the State senate; Crawford
of the Pensacola News, preserves mod
est, but significant silence as TO his
proposed nomination for the low
er house. But per contra, Editor Mat
thew OF the Starke Telegraph, and Edi-
tor Russell of the Palatka News, both
bright particular stars in Florida journal
ism, have announced for the lower
house, and We hope they may both get
there. These with McCreary OF the
Gainesville Sun, candidate for the SEN
ate, make a trio hard TO beat, and, with
out knowing anything about their pros.
poets, we predict on general principles
and fitness OF things that they will be
elected. And, perhaps, there are others.
Your real, sure-enough newspaper man
makes a good legislator, and is never a
stick or a dummy.-Live Oak Democrat.

Judge Lucius J. Reeves has formally
announced his withdrawal from the
race for United States senator, for prac-
tcally the same reasons assigned by
Mr. BIount for like action some weeks
ago. Ii seems Judge Reeves has been
in very poor health for some time and
is not physically able 10 remain in the
contest. With Mr. Blount and Judge
Reeves both out of the running, it leaves
the race at present between Taliaierro,
Broward and L'Englc. From present
indications we should say it will be
Taliaferro and Broward in the second
primary, and then Taliaierro for another
term in the senate. However, there is
no lodging the fact that Ex-Governor
BrOward has stong grip on a good
many of ''the dear people" and will
give the present senator all he is look
ing for in the way of lively race. May
the best man win. Herald.

Senator II. II. McCreary of Gaines
vile, the oldest member in point OF ser
vice in the upper branch of the Florida
legislature, and who is again a candidate,
so far without opposition from Alachua
county, is not without his enemies. But
they are of the kind any decent man
should have. One OF these attacks Sen
ator McCreary by stating that che was
frequently intoxicated during the last
session OF the legislature. Now those
who have known the senator long, know
tia in former years he was not noted for
his total abstenance principles or prac-
tiCe, but all who honor manhood, will
honor him for coming back at his
traducer with the statement that 81 have
not touched a drop OF intoxicating liquor
in any form since the 8th day OF October,
1908, and there is no influence in the
world that could induce me TO again per
nit drop OF Intoxicating liquor TO touch
my lips" As the last session of the leg
islature was held in the spring OF 1909, it
is evident that Senator McCreary'S ira
Queer is not only a vile slanderer, but
that he was influenced in his statement
by other than a desire for the public
good. II is only mean man who will
speak Ill of one who has said good bye
TO a debasing habit Mr. McCreary is
oie of the most valuable men in the
legislature of Florida, and the News pre-
diets his triumphant return over any
man wiom his slsnderers can pit against
him.

Judge Horace c. Gordon of the
Tampa criminal court of record deliy-
cred an address last Sunday before the
Civic Reform League of that place
which should result in great good.
Judge Gordon took occasion 10 score
his city for its wickedness, and declared
that las wicked a city as gay Paris is
reputed to be, Tampa has her beaten.
Last year." said he, there were only Is
homicides in the French capital while
in a single term of court in Tampa there
were 10 cases of homicide, or attempted
homicide" Judge Gordon thought
there was too much law and said that
"if all the laws of this state could be
wiped out and our present legislature
put to work TO make new ones from the
beginning, the results would be much
better" The speaker also took occa-
sion to denounce the convict lease sys-
TEN, declaring it to be the worst
scourge ever foisted upon the people of
Florida, and do not hesitate to say that
stand for its adjustment, as does
every other person who has ever seen a
convict camp"

Thinks Broward Has Advantage

To read a number of state papers one
would be led TO believe that Taliaferro
was the only candidate with the ghost
Of chance in the senatorial race. Last
week we had occasion 10 visit several OF
the counties OF the state and where we
inquired how the senatorial contest
stood. Not much interest was manifest
ed anywhere, but the sentiment was un.
mistakably divided between Broward
and L'Engle, the advantage being with
the former. Everyone admits that Tai
iafeuo will put up good race, but many
expressed doubt as to his being in the
second primary.-Taylor County Herald.
