Battle Will Go Right On

If victory has come as the result OF
Tuesdays vote, then we have the battle
of law enforcement Immediately ahead.
If present defeat has come as the re-
suit of Tuesdays vote, then the battle
will go right on. The liquor crowd
will suppose VIC are dead. Their papers
have been saying that the prohibition
workers would "foId their tents and ST.
lently steal away" They were never
more deceived in their lives. This
campaign was but one battle-whether
won or lost by our forces.
The war will not end until the liquor
traffic is as thoroughly an outlaw as its
twin evil, the white slave traffic, or the
opium traffic, or the lottery.
Returns, as we go TO press are Suffi-
cient 10 show that, if present defeat has
come, il is not due to the white voters
of Florida, White Florida has voted
overwhelmingly dry and the very face
OF the returns will show il TO the world.
If the amendment is defeated, the fig
ureS will show that what little majority
there is against il is made up of the illc
gally qualified negroes, and probably of
the negroes in one county-Duval.
That will put the liquor crowd in
pretty light before the people of Florida,
won't ii? 1t means death far sooner than
they have thought.
1t will mean that their dearly-bought
temporary success is mighty Short-lived

The only mistake John n. C. Stock
ton has made thus far in his campaign
for Senator, was the sending out of the
pictures of himself and the late Gov.
Broward, and which it is presumed was
for the purpose of leading the people
TO believe him TO be the political heir
presumptive of the late Governor.
There is another man who has priority
claim on this apparent" or "presump.
tive" heirship, claim that was sprung
by "Bill'' Milton and others on return
from the funeral. Stockton can we'll
afford TO let the other crowd work this
"heirShip" racket. The people don't
go much on the "heirship" business.
That Mr.. Stockton and the late Gov.
Broward were close political friends for
Is years is well,known to the democrats
OF Florida. That fact may induce some
of them to vote for Mr.. Stockton. But
John Stockton's own personality will be
his winning card if he wins at all.

The death OF Alexander Stephens
Clay, who was serving his third term
as United States Senator from Georgia,
places the appointment of his successor
in the hands OF Gov. Joseph NJ. Brown,
the same to stand until the meeting OF
the Legislature next June, when Cow
elect Hoke Smith will undoubtedly be
the legislative choice. Joseph NJ. Sla-
ton, president of the senate, would then
succeed TO the governorShip under the
law. 1t is thought that the vacancy to
the senatorhip until June will be filled
by former Gov. Jos. NJ. Terrill, who is
Gov. Browns closest adviser.

Storm Benefited Orange Trees

DeSoto, being the largest citrus grow
ing county, of course suffered from the
storm three weeks ago.
Much timber is on the ground. Many
of the bridges across the smaller streams
are gone. AT least one of the bridges
over Peace River was washed away. We
have lost in many ways.
1t is gratifying, however, to see our
people inclined TO be optomistic. The
trees are left, and will be in better con-
dition for next season. The heavy rains
and the winds have helped the large
trees. The danger from the whitefly is
not SO great.
We have saved part, one-half or
morezof the crop of fruit. This is be-
ing sold. The prices are good, and
with the short crop ought TO be better
The ground will be in fine condition
for trucking and general farming. We
have the cattle industry. The output
from our saw mills is increasing. Labor
is in demand at good wages.

"Bilr' Milton Too Previous

| When Senator Milton made the an.
nouncement of the candidacy of n. P.
Bryan for United States Senator, a few
hours after the lamented Broward had
been laid TO rest, the friends of Bryan
took it for granted that he would win in
walk, so to speak, but they are begin.

ing to take fight TO put the plum in the
hands of n. P.--and real hard fight il
will be if he does get it.
Since the morning of Bryan's an
nouncement the political slate has re.
corded a number of changing calcuIa-
tons. Blount's entry made sweeping
change in the figures, and then came
along Stockton and caused few more
changes.
They are saying, down in Duval, that
Stockton will not be in the fight, but
the fellow who makes any such figures
might as we'll clean his slate now and
make some new figures. John Stock
ton is power TO be reckoned with in
Florida, and great many people are of
the opinion now that the second pri-
mary, for OF course we are going TO have
the primaries, will be between BIount
and Stockton.
AT the present writing we are elated
and in fine spirits over the splendid re-
ception which West Florda's candidate
is receiving from every section of the

will not deny his superior ability, his
clean public and private life and record,
and his capacity for rendering faith

All sorts of obstacles in the way of the

by certain newspapers that would be
mighty glad to get rid of the entire sys-

requisite for voting. They seem TO for
get that this is to be an adjourned cleo
tion," if we may be allowed to coin a
term for it. An election TO nominate a
candidate for this office has already been
held; the death of the nominee has
caused vacancy; the same work is to
be done over again, and it would be
manifestly unjust to impose upon the
voters any other conditions than those
required in the first primary. The com.
mittee is right in its decision as 10 the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness and that is by constitu-

famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is inhamed
you have o rumblng sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos, d, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infiamma
ton can be taken out and this tube restored TO
its normal condition, hearing Will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

What State Editors are
Saying.
One Serious Aspect Of the Election

one oenous Aspect or the Election
The independents who went out after
the scalp of Guy Metcalf in Palm Beach
county got what they went after. Here
is public appreciation for unSelfiSh pub
lie service and that with a vengeance!
Guy Metcalf was the regular nominee
for clerk OF the court; he had given
some twenty years of his life to public
affairs without asking the people for an
office carrying any considerable emolu-
ments or rewards. AS soon as he land.
ed with the Democratic nomination in
his pocket he was pounced upon by the
ravenous and envious political cut
Threats OF Palm Beach county and his
office was wrenched from him. Anoth,
er case OF blacklegs and negroes offset
ting the choice of the intelligent and
legitimate electorate.
The election was filled with surprises,
but to the people OF Florida the reintro.
duction OF the negro into the politics of
the state is the most serious aspect OF
yesterdays event. The question natu.
rally arises, when will 1t be duplicated
or will steps be taken by our legislature

The Senatorial Race.
Let the Best Man Win

Now that the election of last Tuesday
is out of the way the great democracy
OF Florida can jump into the senatorial
campaign, with nothing TO divert its at
tention, and proceed in the good old
democratic way TO work itself up TO a
white heat over the rival claims of
MesSrs. Blount, Stockton and Bryan to
the great prize that dropped from the
dead hand of Broward. II here is any
vital issue between these gentlemen TO
be discussed we haven't heard it, and so
far as we can see il is merely matter of
personal choice for the voters, without
any conflicting principles or policies TO
disturb their judgment Fortunately, all
the candidates are gentlemen of high
and unimpeachable character, whose
lives, both public and private, will bear
the closest inspection, and under such
circumstances il is highly improbable
that there will be any of the unpleasant
sensational features which frequently
enter into hard.fought campaign. No
matter which candidate wins, Florida
will have clean and able man 10 rep
