CANDIDATES IN THE
THIRD DISTRICT
Plethora Not Paucity-

The other day we remarked that
there seemed to be a paucity of con-
grcssional candidates in the Third
district, of which Pensacola is the
leading city. Further information
on the subject requires US to amend
that statement by the substitution
of the word plethora for paucity. The
woods of West Florida seem to be
full of congressional timber, Lawyer
Smithwick of Pensacola, being the
last to announce. Emmett Wilson is
evidently going to have a very in
teresting session in trying to hold
on to his job.-Lakeland Telegram.

Albert's Good Opening

PUT up thy sword demanded
Jesus of Peter on the tragic might in

obeyed but since then millions of pro-

the hammer. This fact gives Albert
Gilchrist good opening to inject a
illegal technicalities" plank in his SEN

Some newspaper, name forgotten,
said it had not heard of any candi-

name all of them, but here are few:

John H. Smithwick, Pensacola; Judge
