Michigan lined up quickly The same
play was hardly to be expected so soon,
and in exactly the same way. Yet that
was the strategy. Wells ran to the
side as before and threw diagonally down

Until the State Democratic Executive
Committee meets in Jacksonville and
canvasses the returns of the second
Democratic primary the exact number
of votes that former Governor N. B.
Broward has secured over United States
Senator James P. Talaferro in getting
the Senatorial nomination, will not be

1t is expected that the Broward mas
jorty will be very close to the 5000
mark and that the majority will hardly
exceed that number. The State Com
mttee will meet in Jacksonville next
Tuesday and at once announce the re-
suits. Hundreds of explanations are
given as the cause of Broward's victory,
but the best is that he is the most eff
fective political campaigner the State
has ever produced. He is type of
man that appeals to the masses, and
this, coupled with his unquestioned abili-
ty, was more than Senator TaliaferrO,

as ever led to a Go, ernor's chair and a
United States Senatorship by finding
employment in logging camp run by
an uncle. He RATED logs, sawed fence
rails and made himself generally useful
Next he tried farming, then he became
steamboat roustabout.
"Starting on tug as cook, he had
worked his way to second in command,
when he shipped north on a coastwse
sailing vessel, bound for New Bedford.
At l6 he was fishing for cod on the
Grand Banks. One of his vivid recol-
lections for this chapter in his career
is that he went to the fishing grounds
clad in q gingham shirt and jean
"pants,' and nearly froze in conse-
quence.
"Broward first went after cod in
1873. During the fourteen years that
ensued he was a seaman on coastwise
sailing vessels and fishing boats, a
steamboat hand and pilot in Florida,
finally becoming part owner of steam
boat plying between Mayport and Pa
latka, Florida.
"In 1887 he gave up the sea to run
wood yard. The same year he was ap-
pointed Sheriff of Duval county, in
which he was born, to fill vacancy
caused by death. By reappointment.
election and reelection he remained
Sheriff until 1900, when he wen. to the
State Legislature from his county. He
became Governor four years later.
But before heq quit the Office of Sheriff
he had gained fame in at least two ma
tional capitals as one of the most dar-
ing of the Cuban filibusters.
"In 1895 he re-entered the steamboat
business, having secured an interest in
the notorious Three Friends. This
ocean-going tug was built in Jackson
vile for the primary purpose of supply
ing the Cuban patriots with munitions
of war. Broward himself commanded
the tug on eight of her trips to and
from Cuba; he always took charge
whenever the signs pointed to an ex-
citing voyage.
Through his connection with the
Three Friends, Broward has the dis
tinction Of being the only living Cover
nor for whose capture aforeign govern.
ment offered a,arge reward. One of
brOWarO partners was DyndIIlte
Johnny O'Brien, the Spanish govern
ment also having standing reward for
his interrogation and capture.
''BrOward could not, with truth, be
called poor man these days, though
even now he is no millionaire. A good
ly portion of his worldly possessions has
resulted from his filbustering ventures.
While Broward turned filbuster partly
to make money and partly for the ex-
element of the game, he insists that he
was actuated also by strong desire to
see the Cuhans, freed from Spanish rule.
In any event, his is name writ large in
the last years of the history of Cuban
tlibustering.
"A few years before he became in
terested in the Three Friends, BrOward
mined phosphate: two years before he
was made Governor he got in the tow
ing and wrecking business. The native
of Florida, asked as to what his Cover
nor has done, could reply quite truth
fully, were he so minded, About every
thing except fly. "

IOWA's MISSING ACRES.
Discrepancy Between Reports of
State Assessors and the Census
EnumeratOrS.

. A remarkable discrepancy is found
between the reports of the state as
SCISSORS and the census enumera-
tors in regard to the number of
acres of farming land in Iowa. The
report given out by Secretary Simp-
son of the department OF agricul-
ture, which is compiled from the as
SCISSORS returns as to lands actual
ly assessed, shows a total Of 1907
488 farms, with over 3O,0OO,00O
acres, but the reports as compiled
at. Washington show $4,000 more
farms and over 100000 mora
acres. Thus far nobody mas been
found to offer solution of the dis
crepancy. There is wide variance
between the state and federal re-
ports as to the value of farn. land.
The estimate placed upon the vame
OF farm land. including good and
bad, is an average of SIS an acre
by Secretary Simpson, but at WASH
ington the reports show that this
land is valued at $96 an acre. The
assessment actually shows about
$40 an acre. The rural population
of Iowa, as found by the assessors.
was ,149,114 last winter.

New Jerseys new marriage law
has gone into effect. The Associated
Press describes the new law in this
way: "The new law requires that the
marriage license be obtained in the
place where the 5ride-eiect resides,
unless she be a nonresident of New
Jersey. In the latter case the license
must be obtained in the home town
of the bridegroom elect. Fl both
are non-residents, the license must be
obtained in the place where the Ger
emory is to be performed. The law
provides that before marriage IL
cense shall be issued. the person is
suing it shall require one of the
contracting parties to subscribe to
an oath or affirmation attestfng the
truth of the facts respecting the le-
gality of the proposed marriage, and
the license shall be issued only If it
be made to appear that no legal
impediments exists. The applicant
must swear that neither party is an
inbecile, epileptic or of an unsound
mind. The person applying for the
license must also be accompanied by
an identifying witness who will be
required to swear that the appM-
cants are legally qualified to marry. $.
