Should Have q Chance
John P. Stokes is a candidate to
succeed Emmett Wilson as Congress
man from the third district. Per-
sona1ly, we do not see any need of
change just at this time. Mr.. Wilson
is just now beginning to "get the hang
of things" and can now do the district
more good than he was able to do dur
ing his first term.-Qutncy Enterprise.
It is with MT. Wilson like it is with
Mr.. REngle, or any other congress-
man elected. for the first time last year
Ho should be given fair chance. The
people can't expect any really good
man to want to represent them in
congress unless he has a show for
second term.-Ocola Star.
Wilson's chnces-
It has the custom in the state Of
Florida to invariably return a man
to Congress for a second term, pro-
vided of course, that he has not been
recreant to his trust This has been
the policy Of practically all the South
ern states, and the custom even pre-
wallis to a large extent In the North,
where there are many party issues.
1t Is a recognized fact among news
paper men In Washington, and among
others at the national capital. who are
in position to know, that q Congress-
man can do much better work the sec
ond term than he can the first term,
If he is any good at all. The same rule
apply to a grocery store clerk The
clerk, If he IS apt. Is OF more help and
value the second month than he is the
first and his employer would be re-
luctant to part with him just at time
when he was becoming fully acquaint- |
ed with his work and duties. IF for
no other reason than those stated
above, Congressman Wilson should
be returned to Congress, but Mr.. VIII |
son has proven himself above the
ordinary run of Congressman He |
has made exceptional Roadway even
before his term Is half over. At the |
special session of Congress just |
closed, two matters OF legislation were |
to be considered-tariff, and currency |
and Mr.. Wilson has stood with the |
President on both of these measures. |
In the matter of currency. he was made |
a member Of the committee on Bank |
ing and currency and aided materially |
IN the drafting of the bill. and was
ono OF the most eloquent and effect /
i've champions on the floor of the /
House. He is also q member of the /
subcommittee to codify the banking |
laws of the United States. There is |
other progressive legislation to be en-
acted by the present congress, and |
son being already familiar with the |
policies of the Administrator, Is In a |
position to be OF great service to his /
party. and. of greater service to the
people-CarrabeI1e Citizen
