The majority of the democrats Of
Florida voted for the Ex-Governor, and
all should now submit, and if any ill
feeling has been engendered, let that
pass away, too. 1t must be acknowl-
edged that Broward is wonderful per
sonality in the politics of the state.
From comparative obscurity he has,
within few years been elected Cover

official position at the hands of the PEG.

battles he has made them single handed.

dollars of the Taliaferro fund, he had

The Barlow Courier-Informant, which
on May 5th predicted Gov. Broward's
election in the second primary, speaks
thus of the contest:
"While the contest seemed, especially
towards the close, to be largely per
Sonal one, this was merely on the sur
face. The real issue to which we al
luded in the last paragraph OF our pre-
diction, was never for one moment OBJ
scured in the minds,of the voters; viz,
whether this country shall be ruled by
the power of money in the form OF or
gained, predatory capital, or by the vast
majority of its people who produce its
wealth, who are the backbone of its
progress in time of peace and its sure
defence in time of danger and who
therefore have the right to rule il.
Napoleon B. Broward, who has from
early manhood championed the cause
of the masses of the people, has gained
signal victory over the influences OF
corporate power. And Broward'S vic
tory was the peoples victory; they, tn e
people, were marShaled together by this
Napoleon of the 10th century, and told

| The defeat of Senator Jas. P. Talia-

ernor Napoleon B. Broward for United
States senator in Tuesdays primary con-
tains lesson or two that should not go
unobServed at this time. One of those
| lessons, we believe, may be found in the
fact that the side with the most money
does not always win after all. In fact,
we believe that the vast expenditure of
money by Senator Taliaferro constituted
partial cause at least of his defeat.
There was no occasion for the use of SO
much money, and the people in many
instances resented il. We do not be-
Iieve that Senator Taliaferro used this
money Improperly or unlawfully, but he
certainly used it injudiciouSly. The
common pre- election Saying-"Broward

money against him made people think,

as a determining factor in contest OF

Well-it's all over, and it's been

We are not speaking of the Broward
of il or of the Taliaferro.
It's the OBJECT LESSON at which
we rejoice.
It's a fitting and severe rebuke TO the
"Hockheimers" who have MONEY,
and who imagine there is absolutely
nothing that money will not buy.
Money is powerful factor in politi-
cal campaign when backed by mind and
morals.
But money fettered by MUD and mad
ness is of no avail
We talked of the "insolence of
money" in our Tampa speech, but never
before have we seen such abiect imbe
cility in its expenditure as was evidenced
in this campaign.
The Taliaferroites began the battle
with barrels of money and buckets of
mud.
Their hirelings took this money and
