Frank l.. Mayes, owner and
editor of the Pensacola journal,
died at his home Monday morning,
age Al years. He leaves wife
and four children. He had lived
and worked in Pensacola for six
teen years and, in that time, had
achieved enviable prominence as
one of Florida s brightest and best
citizens. His loss is sincerely de-
plored by thousands of friends
throughout the state and especial
ly by the newspaper fraternity,
by whom he was universally adj
mired and esteemed. in Mr.. May
es death, the editor of The Herald
feels keen sense of personal be-
reavement.

The Governor for Congressman

We are not surprised by Cover,
nor Trammell's announcement
that he will be a candidate for rep.
resentative in congress from this
district. For long time, his
friends have understood that he
would seek either this honor OF
the toga worn by United States
Senator Bryan. Most of them,
however, believed that the latter
was the object of his aspirations.
Doubtless he still. has it in view
and if he wins in the COMPRESSION
al race, he may, at the expiration
of Senator Fletcher's term, be
come a candidate for that gentle
man s seat in the senate.
AS said previously in this paper,
the Governor is very popular
man and he will make a good race
for any honor to which he may
aspire. If Mr.. Sparkman declin-
es to run again and the race is
left to the Governor and Mr..
Drane alone, the former stands a
fine chance of winning, for we be-
lieve that, throughout the district,
he has greater strength than Mr..
Drane. Both are good men, hon
est and capable, and the race be-
tween them will prove very inter
esting.
The Governors announcement
has doubtless given Senator Bryan
some mental relief, as the latter
quite likely regarded the former
as formidable prospective OPP.
ponent in next years primaries
But it is evident that Senator
Bryan will not be permitted to en-
joy full sense of political secu
rity, as Ex-Governor Gilchrist ano
perhaps, Representatives S. M
Sparkman and Frank Clark
threaten to oppose him in next
years primaries.
We believe that the Jacksonville
people, who seem to be much dis
satisfied with Senator Bryan, will
try to induce Frank Clark to run
against him; and, if Mr.. Spark
man refuses to stand for re-elec
ton to his present place, his
friends may endeavor to prevail
upon him to enter the race for the
senate.
Governor Gilchrist, as is well
known, does not depend upon OF
wait for his friends to "bring him
CUT" he usually brings himself
out with that independence and
courage for which he is known
His race for governor was an exhi-
bition of true political courage
and his administration of that of
flee marked him as a man of 3enu-
inc moral courage.
All this, however, is depression
from the original subject, Cover
nor Trammell s candidacy for con-
gress. All that need be said about
it now is that it will be vigorously
pushed not only by the governed,
but by many loyal and enthusi-
2ctic friends.

lady
Rhyme can give for Arcadia.

The managing editor of The

cause the old man sneaked some
rhymes into this issue. He charged
the o. IN. $1.00 a line for it, be-
cause ne alleges that, to print
rhymes, the eccentric of the type
setting machine has to be changed
from standard to narrow guage
and an extra lot of time, gasolene
and electricity consumed. Be-
sides, he says, there is nobody in
this county who can write poetry
and there's no use trying. He
might have added that there are
blamed few who can write En-
glish, or any other language for
that matter.

0 Lord A Rhyme from Punta
Gorda

The editor of the Arcadia En-
terprise, feeling fine and friendly
and DESTROYS of saying something
nice about Punta Gorda sat him
self down the other day and start
ed in. But alas! he needed
rhyme for a full expression of his
good will and as told below he
couldn't quite swing it. He says !;
"Punta Gorda is a delightful
and dreamy little city with truly
poetic surroundings. Fact is,
we have long wanted to compose
a little verse concerning her, but
dashed if we can think Of any
thing that rhymes with Punta
Gorda. Will some one help us
out?"
And then comes Brother Jordan
who can do anything from telling
a fish yarn that sounds like the
truth to editing a good country
paper or inspecting pure-or i'm
pure-food and furnishes him
with the rhyme, List to Col, Jor-
dan:
Can no one find upon this sward
Pretty rhyme for Punta Gorda?
o, all we scribes! and-yea. o Lord! a
Rhyme he wants for Punta Gorda.
We toxic off our hat to Jordan.

cleverest men in the known world.
