IMPRESSED ALL WITH EARNEST
NESS IN CANDIDACY, DENIED
CHARGES MADE BY OPPOSl-
TIoN OF COMMISSIONS, GAVE
PROMISE OF ASSISTANCE FOR
LOCAL FEDERAL AID AND
MADE MANY FRIENDS.

Hon. Napoleon B. Broward spoke
to an enthusiastic audience from a
platform in Seville square last night,
telling the people in plain language
OF his own candidacy, of what he
hoped to accomplish if he is elected
senator, what particular benefit Pen
sacola would get from his senator
ship, what he had done for the state
of Florida, what he hoped to do if
he went to Washington, and through
out his address the people cheered
until reminded of the fact that as q
special request the cheering be
abandoned on account of the very Sc
rious illness of citizen in the neigh
borhood. Thereafter the APPLAUSE was
not so frequent but at intervals the
enthusiasm of the people would
break out, a cheer would be given
and hearty laugh enjoyed as the
speaker went along with his address.
1t was a plain address, and one
which evidently made him friends
among the audience of very respecta-
ble proportions which assembled.
The arrangements for the recep-
ton of Capt. Broward were poor
A crowd began to assemble at
few minutes before 8 o'clock,
and then, as no lights were
displayed and no stand made ready
for the speaker, many left the place
believing that the speaking had eth
er been postponed or had been ar
| ranged for another place in the city.
When the speaker did reach the
square shortly after o'clock en-
thusiastic supporters hustled around,
| borrowed a few lamps from sur
rounding residences and soon made
| the platform brilliant. Then about
| two dozen ladies and gentlemen seat
! ed themselves thereon, and the speak
er was introduced by J. N. Andrews,
| who explained to the crowd that
| there had been some misunderstand-
| ing concerning arrangements, hence
| the lack of better accommodations.
| With that explanation the ex-gover-
nor was introduced.
Mr.. BRoWARD SPEAKS.
Mr.. Broward renewed promises as
affecting Pensacola should he be for
| tunate enough to be selected as
successor to the present senator, his
only opponent. He renewed his
promise concerning the care he would
| exercise in placing the navy yard on
| the plane that it should be. He re-
iterated his belief in his power to
lHuuCe IeQeTal ala 1Or THIS SeCtlOu
and this state in the establishment
of agricultural schools with chemic-
al experts for each county; he re-
| peated his promise of a breakwater
| for Pensacola harbor and the need
| CT the same; he promised better at
tention for this SECTION of the state
| than had been given in the past; he
| reiterated again the promise of the
chain of intercostal canals, reaching
| from Boston to Mexico, and told of
| the benefits which would accrue from
such system; he repeated the story
| of the drainage operation and show
| ed UP in his own way the falsity of
| the statement that he had obtained
commissions on the sale of state
| lands, ETC., all of which was heard
with close attention and no little in
| terest.
COMPARED CAMPAIGNS.
Concluding his speech, Mr. Brow
ard compared his own candidacy with
| that of his opponent, Mr.. Taliaferro,
| endeavoring to show that money in
| terests were behind the senator,
| while he (Broward) is running for
| the office from the standpoint of man
to man, and was honest in his dec
| laration when he said that he had no
| paid workers; no one paid to ask a
vote for him, and said that those
people who were importuning their
| neighbors and their friends to vote
| for him were doing so from the
| standpoint of patriotism, and not be-
