Tallahassee, April 5.-Col Cromwell
Gibbons today gave out the following
statement:
In view of the fact that It has been
somewhat reported that there was a
probability that would not be a can-
didate for governor in the next Demo-
cratic primaries. have decided now
to definitely announce my position,

lengthy and hotly contested CAM

Il will be candidate for the Demo-

primaries of 1912 and take this oppor-
tunity of asking my friends and those
disposed to favor my ambition to sup
port me during the contest.
I have, to some extent, gone over
the situation and I am satisfied with
the same. From now on I will give
the subject earnest consideration,

Mr.. JENNINGS NOT A CANDIDATE
Prior to the announcement OF Col
Gibbons came a statement from
Speaker Jennings, in which he declared
that he would not be a candidate for
governor or for any, other Office, as he
has no further political ambitions and
is content to preside over the sessions
of the house.
The announcement of the speaker
caused some surprise, as many of those
assembled here believed that in making
the fight for speaker Mr.. Jennings was
paving the way for the higher office.
Four years ago it was thought that
he would be a candidate, and ever
since that time he has been spoken of
as a prospective candidate.
There are many who would be
pleased to see the West Floridian IN
the governors chair, and there is some
disappointment that he has declined TO
even consider being a candidate for
any other Office.

which he did.
While some of the members who had
regarded the invitation undoubtedly
with some ievity at the outset discov-
cred that the jest was rather grim in
its working out. 1t is likely that the
proceeding has seldom taken place in
recent years, though the custom is said
to be in vogue in some of the states
yet. The invitation given the gov
ernor arose from his expressed desire
that the message be read, which is
contrary to the rule.
The house committee on rules re-
ported some important changes this
morning of such a character that IL
was ordered the report be printed for
the convenience of the members before
action was taken. The report will
come up tomorrow. Among other
changes it is recommended the SEN
ate have a committee on rules and pro-
cedure to direct the work of the body
