are citizens who are entitled to be
permitted to participate in the
government, i. e., who are entitled
to be entrusted with the cleo
tive franchise. A male born in
the state of Florida is, at his birth,
citizen in a comprehensive sense
a member of the de jure body
polite, and he becomes a citizen
in political sense, member OF
the de factO, or representative
body polite, an elector, upon
reaching his majority, but not,
however, a qualified elector-a
voter until he has complied with
other requirements of the con-
stitution and laws of the state.
In the case of nonresident,
DESTROYS of acquiring citizenship
in Florida, it is essential that he
acquire and maintain residence
in the state sufficiently long to en-
title him to become a qualified e.
lector. That residence is one

Six Years Needed
The constitution manifestly
intends that one to be eligible to
the office of governor, shall have
been a citizen of the state for five
years after having acquired a po-
litical citizenship, which requires
a residence of one year in the
state, coupled with the intent to
remain. In other words, that one
must have resided in the state,
with the intent of becoming a cit
izen, six years from the time he
first took up such residence.
Citizenship and residence are
not, however, synonymous terms.
One may be a resident and not
citizen, or a citizen and not a res
ident; but residence, under the
Florida constitution, is necessary
to acquire political citizenship.
The constitution requires both cit
izenship and residence, for five
years, in order to be eligible to the
office of governor. A man is not
eligible to the office of governor,
if after acquiring political citi-
zenship, he continues the citizen
ship for five years, but resides
within the state for five years af-
ter acquiring the citizenship, in
order to be eligible to the office of
governor, and must, also, at the
time Of his election, be a qualified
elector. +"

Opinion of John S. Beard

The following is taken from the
Pensacola Journal of last week.:
Cats, having virtually conced-
ed the nomination of Knott on the
recount, has stated that he will
run for governor on the indepen-
dent ticket.
The question is naturally reviv-
ed: Is he really eligible for gov
ernor?
Could he serve as governor If he
won the final election, even?
Ex-senator John S. Beard, a
recognized authority on constitu-
tional law, says:
"NO, not if he moved to Flori-
da in 1911.
"No person is eligible for COVER
nor unless he has been a citizen
for five years, according to the
Florida constitution. No one can
register as a voter of Florida I'M
til he has been one year in the
State. Now, Mr., Cats came here
from Alabama in June 1911 he be-
came a citizen in a political sense
in June, 1912; he would, there
fore, not be eligible for election as
governor until 1911"
Discussing the question, Mr.
Beard said, ga minute study of
constitutional law convinces me
that, even if elected, Mr.. Cats
could not serve, for, if appropriate
egaf steps were taken he would
DC declared ineligible, even if e.
ected. | am not interested in pol
