WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE
EDITORS?

Every editor aspiring for office in
the recent primary election was de-
feated. They were left on the way
side high and dry.
Hon. H. H. McCreary, editor of the
Gainesville Sun, who has represented
Alachua county in the state senate
on several occasions, was literally
swept off his feet.
Congressman L'Engle, editor of
Dixie, and Albert Williamson, editor
of the Jacksonville Floridian, candi-
dates for congress, were badly snow
ed under, notwithstanding the fact
that Editor L'Engle was serving his
first term as member of that body.
Editor Williamson tailed the ticket,
Editor L'Engle running him a close
second
Than L'Engle and Williamson there
are not two more fierce and outspok-
en- men in Florida on all public ques-
tions. No two men are more cour-
ageous in giving voice to their con-
victions. They are not only physical
ly, but are morally brave, but Tues
| day was Waterloo for both of them.
Than Clarence Z. Woods, editor of
the Eustis Lake Region, there is not
a more delightful character in Flor
ida. He is Chesterfield in his man.
ners. He is gifted writer. He is a
pleasant speaker . He is a booster
and boomer In the struggle for an
office he was hopelessly stranded.
Mr.. ]. H. Reese, editor of the Orlan-
do Sentinel, is without doubt one of
the most talented writer's on the press
OF the state unless it be Lambright
of the Tampa Tribune. He is gifted
in statecraft. He is suave in his
manners. He would reflect honor on
any legislative or cultured body any
where
Mr.. Reese was defeated for a seat
in the legislature.
Editor Tripplett of the Kissimmee
Valley Gazette was a candidate for
seat in the Florida legislature. AS

The president is not satisfied with
the shape the canal tolls matter has
taken. Senator Vardaman criticised
the president, and amongst other
things referred to one of the presi-
dents speeches in which he said the
Democratic platform was mot molas-
ses to catch flies with"
81 trust" he added, that it will
not be out of place for me to suggest
that it becomes the duty of the Presi.
dent to see that the interest of the
people are not flies to be caught by
somebody else's molasses."
Declaring that he regarded plat.
form pledge as binding as the oath
of office, Senator Vardaman contin-
ued: "The idea of any human being,
however, in his own conceit or wise in
the estimate of others, imagining he
has the power to absolve himself from
such pledge, to substitute some the
ory of his own in place of it, is a here
sy in political religion in the United
States, which is now being preached
and practiced by leaders of the DEM
ocratic party for the first time. 1t
may be treason to the crown, but /
cannot approve it. 1 will not SUBJ

f1at-footed. He said that 1t was true
that he had voted for the retention
of Mr.. Lorimer, and under the same
circumstances, listening to the same
character of evidence, he would vote
tomorrow and the next day for his
retention, and denounced those who
did not have the courage to vote
their convictions as he did, and was
again applauded to the echo.
And so of all the other charges.
He sought to conceal nothing, and in
no case did he put in plea OF de-
nial
His return to the senate almost
reaches the proportions of a land
slide. He has been given by the vot-
ers of Florida a complete vindication.
So it seems to us that the cry of
"reactionary," shouted on the tom
toms from the offices of the Pensacola
Journal, st. Augustine Mirror, Miami
Metropolis, Jacksonville Dixie, Fort
Lauderdale Sentinel, etc., has lost it's
terrifying powers, and the voters Of
Florida are returning to the sober,
second thought.
Tuesdays was the best days work
the voters of Florida have done in
MANY a day.
