MIR. DRANE's CANDIDACY

Reports which come to The Trib-
une from various parts of the dis
trict indicate that Hon. Herbert j.
Drane, of Lakeland, is making re-
markable progress in his candidacy
for Representative in Congress. Mr.
Drane has a large personal follow
ing, and this is being increased
daily by reason of the high standing
of the man and the realization that
he would make the district an excel
lent and an efficient Congressman.
Nj Drane is not making his cam
paign on the idea that Tho district
owes him anything or that he is
tuch a wonderful man that The p"n-
pie would be hopelessly foolish not
to send him to Washington. He Is
making a fair and open appeal for
their support, based on his ability,
his knowledge of and devotion to
Florida, his Democracy and his
claims to the favorable attention Of
voters Should he be elected, ne il
not OF the type of man who would
Immediately acquire the idea that he
is the only man in the district fit
for the position and that it would be
| reasonable to the party and the dis
! trict for anyone to dare oppose him
/ for reelection. He would 80 to
Washington on trial before his peo-
pie and before the country for the
merit that is in him and for The
character and efficiency of his rep
resentation.
Mr.. Drane is undoubtedly the
| strongest man who has as yet had
temerity--or audacity, as some con-
slider ito offer himself as a can
didate in opposition to the august
and impecable incumbent. He is, all
may feel sure, not awed or embar-
raised by the imposing tenure or
| eminence of the distinguished gen.
tleman who has again decided to
save the district" and whose over
jealous favorites and beneficiaries
I claim for him a lifelong ownership
of the job. Mr.. Drane is probably of
that large and increasing number Of
citizens and Democrats who refuse
to believed in sort of blindness of
devotion, that all the qualifications,
characteristics and capabilities for a
certain position are concentrated in
one individual and in that one only.
1t may also be mentioned that there
is large and increasing number Of
citizens and Democrats in this dis
tries who have come to realize that
| there is little Importance in exalted
| posts, such as Great Chairman ships,
when they do not bring with them
a corresponding elevation of in
fiuence and prestige or wider

ANS Great Aviation
School At Pensacola

to officers, a recent order provides
that enlisted men shall be given in
struction in flying and school for
their instruction has already been
formed and is progressing nicely.
Enlisted men are now receiyingdaiiy
instruction and practice and for
their comfort seamen's barracks are
now being erected. The old struc-
ture, known as the painters build
ing, is now being remodeled to be
turned into sick quarters. This
work is to cost about $500.
As stated. the work Of this depart
ment of the navy has scarcely be-
gun and the site is so situated that
it can be enlarged many times. The
reservation is on peninsula, the
only land entrance to Fort Barran-
cas- and consists of something like
fifteen hundred acres. 1t is SO To-
Gated as to be practically immune
from hostile attacks, while the eli
mate is such that outdoor work can
be carried on almost every day in
the year. The health is splendid,
as evidenced by the fact that since
the school was established there have
been no epidemics, despite the fact
that there is no sewerage system,
the only drainage being the natural
drainage.
