Mr.. Root Explodes
A Bomb Shell.

Occasionally a leader in Republican
ranks makes such startling statements
statements that are anything but
Republican party rolicies-that it takes
the average reader several days to re-
cover from the shock.
The only thing that puzzles the aver
age man, however, is whether these
Republican leaders are just realizing
how wrong they are or whether in the
excitement of debate and being rapidly
cross questioned. they let slip a few
sentences that they have been secretly
guarding for many years.
The big senator from New York. Mr..
Root. when advocating with President
Taft the reciprocity agreement said in
his speech before the senate that if the
protective tariff had benefited any
farmers in the Union it was only few
along the Canadian border but that in
almost every case the farmer did not
derive any benefits from the duties on
farm products.
This statement took the wind out of
the sails of his Republican colleagues.
They knew he was in favor of reci-
procity, but did not expect to hear him
make such a broad declaration. But
Senator Root did not stop here.
Il have always thought the protective
tariff system was for the good of all
the people, but if the intimations made
by some Republicans that protection
worked solely for the benefit OF the in
terests' are true, I will abandon my
belief in the beneficence of protection"
Senator Root is one of the ablest
men in the senate and if he is sincere
in his statement, and we have no cause
to doubt his sincerity. his influence and
his work for tariff reduction will be
of great assistance in the next regular
congress, If not in the special session

SATURDAY, JULY /, 1911.
For Chairman of
State Executive Committee.

Claiming that it is South F1orida's
time to have the chairman of the State
Democratic Executive committee, the
Arcadia Champion offers the name Of
John W. Burton for the place, and says
of him:
This is the day Of and for young
men to be at the front. Mr.. Burton is
young and active, is a man of educa-
ton and culture. He is a lawyer of a
large, successful practice, a man who
believes in clean politics, in honesty in
public affairs. in honorable means and
methods. OF southern birth, nearly his
entire life has been spent in Florida.
In this state he obtained his educa-
ton and admission to the bar. For
about fifteen years he has lived here
working up for himself a lucrative
practice in his chosen profession, and,
what is better still, a public record as
a mcn OF lofty ideals and principles, a
character clean and unassailable, a
public officer of clean motives and
honest endeavors.
In advocating the election of Hon.
John w. Burton as chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee we do so because he is in every
way-in ability and by experience
qualified for the place. Also, his high
character and his clean political prin-
ciples would add strength to the state
party organization. We hope, when
the state committee meets, that they
will place this high and responsible
honor upon such worthy and well
Allied shoulders as the above named
gentleman.
The Journal believes that the diff
fere4t sections of Florida should be
willing for state honors TO rotate and
II the South Florida people want Mr..
Burton, West Florida will more than
likely be willing to help elect him. We
always do the square thing over this
way.
