BR0WARD SWEEPS STATE.
His Majority Over Taliafero is Between Three
and Four Thousand.
Makes Greatest Gains in Lar
ger Cities-Putnam County
for Broward.

| Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, cook,
deck hand, mate and captain on river
steamer, filibuSter and first aid to the
Cuban patriots, sheriff of Duval county,
and later Governor of Florida, will, in
less than year from now, take his seat
in the senate of the United States as a
senator from his native Florida.
The latest promotion of this remarka-
BILE man was made at the instance of the
sovereign people of Florida last Tues
day, when by majority of from 5000
TO 1900 votes, they instructed the
Florida Legislature of 1911 to elect Mr..
Broward to the Senate of the United
States for term of six years TO succeed
James Piper Taliaferro.
When il was learned that in the state
primary of May 10th Mr.. Broward led
Mr.. Taliaferro 90 votes there were a few
surprised people in Florida.
The result gave new hope to Mr..
Broward and his friends and they went
TO work buoyed with hope for success.
The result also put the Taliaferro
forces at work. And such a campaign
The corporate influence of the state
was Solidly for Taliaferro. He did not
lack for means TO carry on lively cam
paign. The mails were loaded with
Literature the burden of which was to
charge Gov. Broward with being a
CRATER.
The Broward forces were every whe 2
placed on the defensive.
That they made good defense is
not believe the charges of Senator Talia-
ferro and his campaign managers.
The News fails to see wherein Palatka
has anything TO lose by the coming
change. 1t is certain that Senator Talia-
ferro has secured little for this city or
section in the eleven years of his service
in the senate.
Gov. Broward knows the ST. Johns
river from source TO mouth. He knows
the needs of its channel. That he will
work for the interests of the up-river
ports as we'll as for the more important
port of Jacksonville, the News believes.
Work and Mr.. Broward are not
strangers The new senator is vigorous
in mind and body. He has plans of
work already laid out, and he's going to
work on them just as soon as he gets
into the seat of power to which the peo-
pie have assigned him.
Senator Fletcher, who is already doing
wanted Mr. Broward for an associate.
They will work together harmoniouSly
for the state.
The total vote on Senator in Putnam
county was 931, of which Gov. Broward
received 519 and Senator Taliafcrro 412,
making Broward'S majority 107
