THE SENATORIAL CONTEST

Senator Taliaferro will not be able
TO leave Washington until the rivers
and harbors bill is disposed of by the
Senate. The state has too many in
terests at stake in that measure to
permit his departure from his post OF
duty for participation in a campaign
for his re-election.-Tampa Tribune.
The indications now are that Her
nando county will give an overwhelm-
ing vote for the reelection of Senator
Taliaferro to succeed himself Without
disparagment to other candidates he
is the man the people in this section
wish to return in the position he has
so ably dlled.-Brooksville Argus.
Senator James p. Taliaferro has
made q splendid record in the United
States Senate and TO put another man
in his place at this time would be a
distinct loss to the state. 1t is our
opinion that Mr. Taliaferro Will again
De returned to this honorable position
by large vote, which he deserves
Baker County Standard.
Senator Taliaferro is sticking to his
duties before Congress and is yet CIV
ing little personal attention to his
candidacy for denomination before the
coming primary. His friends all over
the state are taking care Of his inter-
est. Senator Teliaferro has = mag
nificant record to go before his people
for denomination and re-election.-

Senator J. P. Taliaferro has secured
favorable action in both houses Of
Congress providing $4,000 for the
building of schools and buying lands
and farming implements for the youths

We don't know. but may be the fact
that Claude was then state printer or
something of the sort has something
10 do with it.-Inverness Chronicle.
Claude LEngle is a very optimistic
kind Of a fellow. He says he will be
named by the democratic people of
Florida for the United States Senate at
the coming primary, and in his cam
paign he is saying some pretty ugly
things about his former dear friend
former Governor Broward, charging
him, with Jennings. with gigantic
graft during his administration. He
is severe also on Senator Taliaferro
but neither seem to take Claude ser
iously-Volusia County Record.
In securing the passage of his bill
providing that the national govern
ment aid the Seminole Indians in main
tanning themselves, Senator Taliaferro
has made hundreds of new friends all
over the state. These poor Indians
have Jared worse than any other tribe
preferring to remain in Florida than
to going West, where the climate was
too severe for them, with the result
that they have had to eke out an eX-
istence by hunting and fishing in the
Everglades instead Of profiting by a
good land grant which was offered
them in a region where they would
soon become extinct. They are now
being deprived of the means of a liv-
ing in the Everglades, and If the gov
ernment does not aid them they will
soon die of starvation, as they refuse
TO beg for living. II given the op-
portunity these Seminoles will make
good citizens, and Senator Taliaferro's
bill has this end in view.-Gainesville
