FIGHTING FOR
PRESIDENCY Of
STATE SENATE
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALSO BEING
SOUNDED REGARDING THE
SPEAkERSHIP AND A WARM
FIGHT is EXPECTED,

Now that the official counts tn the
vote for Iegisla tive candidates in the
fifty counties in the state have been
made and the lineup OF both branches
Of the Florida assembly becomes
known, the question Of the election or
a speaker of the house and president
of the senate is creating considerable
interest among the politicians OF the
state, says the Jacksonville MetTopo-
lis. The Florida Metropolis today
publishes the ffrse complete list or
Representatives and senators TO
serve during the next session Of the
legisla ture prepared in the state
In the senate Will appear thirteen
new faces. Two of the Old members
were returned and seventeen are
hohd-over members. Many of the
senators whose terms expire with the
opening Of the 1915 session were not
candidates for reelection and others
who were not hold-over senators and
who were candidates for reelection
we're defeated
Many new faces will be seen in the
house during the coming session, and
1t is believed that the 1918 session
will see a greater number of young
members than ever before
