STATEMENT FROM
SENATOR BRYAN

Senator Nathan P. Bryan has is
sued the following statement:
I concede that / was badly defeated
in Tuesdays election. There were
several contributing causes.
The secret political societies that
are tolerated within the democratic
party had the most to do with the re-
suit. Fanaticism and religious intol-
erance are the avowed objects of these
societies, but the spoils of office con-
stitute the real purpose of their ex-
istence. They may count me as their
chief victim. My defeat is matter
Of minor importance to the state and
not of much concern to me. / am con-
tent to return to private life.
l regret their opposition did not
stop with me.
The loss of Judge Cockrell from
the supreme court will be felt; but the
defeat of Mr.. Sparkman, chairman OF
the committee on rivers and harbors,
takes out of Congress the greatest
student of waterway transportation
in it. Insofar as Florida is concerned,
Mr.. Sparkman's defeat is little less
than calamity.
1 No well informed and intelligent
, man believes in the propaganda OF
: these preachers of the doctrine OF
hate. Some of the successful candi-
t dates in this primary pretend they do
4 My opposition to protective tariff
D and to the pension graft cost me
many votes.
Then, again, the forecast of the re-
results of the election published II
several daily papers last Sunday dis.
couraged many of my supporters. Il
was not known then that this forecast
was the joint production of the. head
quarters of the Anti-Saloon League
: and of Mr.. Wall, the local optionist.
= That was a strange alliance, to b.
sure; but it had it's effect with "ban'
: wagon" voters.
. Mr.. Wall did me considerable injur.
by making the incorrect statemen
all over Florida that Senator Fletche
" and l were not working in harmon,
in Washington.
AS l see it the above were the mai
reasons for my defeat.
In conclusion, wish to thank m
= friends for their very generous an
- mselfish support, and to say to theI
:" that although I have lost feel like
,, winner.
- / have tried to be true to them.
- have not appealed to passion or
% prejudice, / have not surrendere
principle for success. | have d.
nounced wrong and did my best to VI
es hold what seemed to me to be RICH
W I have striven to justify their cont
dence in me. N. p. Bryan.

Says the Lakeland Telegram, one
of the most correct and unprecedented
newspapers in the state: There are
those who differ with Nathan P. Bry-
an, and who criticise some of his ac-
tons, but there are few people who
will not agree that he is a man. He
has done the things and supported
the measures he believed to be right
when he knew he would thereby raise
i storm Of criticism. He has not
played to the galleries; he has been
true to his principles and his friends.

The Star is Informed that there is
a probability that the Atlantic Coast
Line win run its two finest trains
that now pass thru this city-37 and
and 38, from Jacksonville to st. Pc
tersburg-via Palatka, Sanford and
the old Orange Belt to Trilby. The
route that way is several miles short
Fer than this way. These two trains
are worth something to Ocala and
the Board of Trade should get busy
and try to have them kept on.

It's not the Stars fault that the
people of Ocala moved too late in the
matter of the site of the union station.
Months ago it published an article
setting forth that the logical place,
from the railroads standpoint, for
the station was on the north side OF
the tracks. If the people had paid
attention to that article and gone to
work at once, they could have had the
station where they wanted it.

at the last session the interests of the
county and district will both be wei

DECEIVED BY DEMAGoGUEs

Miami Herald: We venture to say
that the state of Florida will repent
in sackcloth and ashes its senseless
act in refusing to return Senator Bry-
an to his seat. The people rule, but
sometimes the people are badly de-
ceived by demagogues, and this was
one of the times.

Mr.. Bryan is at st. Louis and is
supposed to be there for the purpose
of fighting preparedness. If the DEM

to have an important part in making

pare for Touchdown defeat this fall.
The country is tired of Mr.. Bryan.

it is now fairly well represented, in

There should be something done for
these boys. They do not go to school,
they are on the streets at all hours Of
day and night, they are constantly In
touch with the rougher element of
men, and most avenues of healthy
are closed to them. When
we say something should be done for
them, we don't meant that some
mollycoddle should try to round them
up on Sunday for an hour week and
leave them to look after themselves
the remainder of the time. A man
who had the grace and strength to
win their confidence could give them
a good start toward becoming useful
citizens. What they need principally
is healthy amusement. They all take
a hearty interest in sports and there
lis the material for a good ball team
among them. They would make ex-
Icellent boy scouts if their interest in
the movement could be aroused. It is
for this class of boys particularly thai

Editor Star: The election is over

honorable way that did not do. My
only regret is that could not have

campaign, but, beyond. that, con-
graduate you on your fight for

With best wishes,

"The negro who runs a twenty

splitting the. riches Of the harvest
season fifty-fifty with the mer-
chant or other landowner who has
been supplying him during the
past year. This carries the mon
ey directly into the country. 1t

Cotton's Magical Rise
EnriChins the Nation.

/
planting cotton in Triton County
for 100000 is invested there in Z
compress, gins, warehouses, anC
Other appliances, the value o.
which almost ntirely depends upor
the bringing in Of the annual cot
ton-crop. The boll-weevil, which
is considered a discoura cement tt
the farmers, is recognized by this
journal as a menace that may
very properly make Georgia
farmers do a lot Of thinking. but
"if they get panicy and decide
that cotton can not be produced
at all in weevil territory and SO
quit planting it, the State will
soon be in the rumps, as much as
it was in the first few months of
the war-period." According to
The Morning News the Georgia
farmer program should be:
"To learn all he can about how
to fight the weevil, and to grow
cotton in spite Of the pest; and
then to raise other crops in in
creasing quantities from year to
year, building up his land by crop
rotation and the cattle industry.
Let him become more prosperous
with cotton as one of his crops,
despite the weevil. "
In the way Of statistics on the
cotton-crop. the Augusta Chron-
icle informs us that counties which
have heretofore produced from
100000 to 100000 worth Of cot
ton are now growing from $780,

tells us that from reports con.

joins Richmond on the south, the

will add an enormous volume to
The total output. We are further
informed that this crop has been

S. and the farmers have, in addi-
ion to conserving their own re-
sources, grown a huge total Of
