MONEY
To MAKE RACE
SAYS FLOYD
IT'S EITHER CONGRESS OR THE
SAW MILLS, HE SAYS, AND SAW
MILLS HAVE NO CHARM FOR
HIM-FRlENps MUST PROVIDE
THE FUNDS.

Claiming that there are eight men
in Pensacola. including T. A. Jennings,
w. H. Knowles and Judge w. b.
Sheppard. who have money enough
and are crazy enough to let him have
enough to make the race for congress
from the Third congressional districf,
Col G. Harry B. Floyd, who votes in
Apalachicola. lives in Fort Pierce, who
has served a full term of two months
in the Florida legislature and who
dreams alternately Of being a con-
gresham and Methodist bishop, is
now in Pensacola.
Harry says his friends consist large
ly of the poorer classes except in
Pensacola, where the rich ones love
him, too. Cooper Griggs could give
him the necessary money, but he says
Cooper does not sign the checks.
Don't go after a man unless you have
his goat" says the. colonel, and since
l have gotten the goats of these men
know that before Thursday morning
will have brought to my room a cam
paign fund of three thousand" He
says he thinks he could get the moneS
from Mr.. Blount If he could ever ap
proach him, but the brains of Flor
being, he must worship from afar.
Why a Candidate.
Two reasons are given by the Apa
lachtcolian for wanting to run G.
congress. "One head of wife an
three or four head of children" con
stitue the first reason. and the dis
trict people are pining for my ser
vices" is the second. Harry says he
- .I.I -.
he must either go to congress or to
the saw mill, while on the other hand
he says the people of the district mar
ried Dannitte Mays and want a Iii
vorce from him. They need me TO
fill the place that Dannitte cannot FILL
he says. "and Emmett Wilson can
not fill its satisfactorily yet awhile"
The colonel says he is qualified be-
cause he has cast everything else
aside for his love for the people.
Anyone can win law cases." he says.
Il have practiced law enough to know
that, and Mr.. Blount proved 1t by
hiring men to do his work for him
But I am not going to work as Mr..
Blount did to get law practice. He
got the best in the state in a lawyers
world but he must now sit back and
Wdtcn nae get what ne ana FREQ
Myers both crave most OF all.
Fred Myers knew Mr.. Blount could
not win from the first, although he
urged him on. He wanted Mr. Blount
to be in the same class with him and
now Myers is satisfied
1t isn't the usual thing for a Re
publican to finance Democrats cam
paign, but Colonel Floyd says Judge
Sheppard has already many distine
tons which other Republicans have
not, and that the Judge viii find him
in a very receptive mood either today
or tomorrow.
This mission here for the campaign
money may prove fruitless, the colonel
says. but it win only make him wait
longer TO accomplish his end. He
says he is going to represent the Third
district in congress this time, the next
time or the following one. Claude
L'Engle failed once but his work for
the people has had its effect and he
is going in long winner this time
And. by the way he said. you need
me in congress as an antidote for
Claude, for my insanity viii kill his
