Palatka. Times-Herald:-The splendid

by his brethren of the press, speaks well
for the loyalty OF the newspaper men

pebbles in his mouth near the sea-
shore in imitation of Demosthe-
mes, this impeachment has always
made him appear somewhat at a
disadvantage as a public speaker.
After making his home at Pun
ia Gorda his sterling qualities
were soon recognized, and he was
elected a member of the legisla-
ture for four successive terms,
and was made speaker of that dis
tinguished body, He had SO ia
miliarized himself with parlimen-
tary law that during the entire
session the gavel was never
brought into requisition, and he
left not single bill on the calen-
dar when the legislature adjourn
| ed.
The record is without parallel
in the legislation of this country.
1t is a record that stands out in a
class to itself.
When Albert Gilchrist an
nounced his candidacy for gov
ernor very few of the big politi-
clans took his candidacy serious
ly, and his election was big sur
prise to them.
1t was predicted of him that he
would make a monkey" in office
would make of himself a
monkey in office because of
the three carved monkeys that
he had made prominent in
his campaign, but, no occupant
of the gubernatorial chair estab-
lished for himself a more COM
handing and lasting reputation.
1t was at once discovered that
he had a full conception of its
duties, and was equal to them,
and he proved to be a Gibraltar
of firmness.
Falstaff was not more surpris-
ed in "Prince Hal" after he as
cended the throne than were the
politicians of Florida when AL
bert Gilchrist occupied the CUB
chair.
His administration of the gov
eminent was of an infinite advan-
tage to the people of the state and |
one who familiarizes himself with |
his achievements can but hold
him in high esteem.
General Gilchrist is a state
rights democrat-he was brought
up in that faith, and like the
twig that was bent, he has grown
up that way.
He believes that a representa-
tive is but a mouth-picce to the
voice of the people and must be
governed in his representative ca
pacity by what the people say. He
says that this is the cornerstone
on which our republic rests, and
as to national prohibition he will
be guided by whether the state
declares for or against ate-wide
prohibition.
We wish to say in this connec-
ton that Albert GilchriSt in his
private life has been strictly tenn
perate.
Unlike many Of the young men
of his time he has never looked
upon the wine when it was red,
and is a stranger to all games of
chance. His private life is clean
and spotless.
Than Albert w. Gilchrist there !
are few bigger or more generous
hearted or guileless men.
If elected to the senate of the
United States Florida will have a
representative in that body that
will be a perfect Gibraltar of
and a man that money
cannot buy.
If there is one thing more prom.
ment than another in his private
and public life it is his unflinch-
ing honesty and integrity.-Ocal-
a Banner.

Manatee Record:-Gilbert D. Leach,
editor of the Leesburg Commercial says
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1916-05-25

that the Hon. H. Clay Crawford has a
son, and the inference to be drawn from
the editorial is that the son should sue
coed the father as secretary of state
when change is made. Mr.. Crawford
pere, has held the office for twenty seven
years, and assuming that he has made
a good official, we can see no reason
why the office should be handed down
from father to son. Adrian p. Jordan
who is Mr. Crawford's opponent. has
spent nearly a lifetime in boosting Flor
ida, building up her educational and in
dustrial enterprises and using his inhu-
ence in every way for the betterment Of
the state, and his services are entitled
to recognition.

West Palm Beach Post:-- (From re-
port of political meeting)--A p. Jordan
editor of the Punta Gorda Herald and
| candidate for the office of secretary OF
state, easily won the honors for being
the most popular speaker of the evening.
There was hardly a moment during the
entire time ne was talking that he did
not have the audience in an uproar The
hilarity was brought about by the Sim
pie sharps' that he tossed at his oppon-
ent H. Clay Crawford, present secretary
of state and candidate for denomination.
Mr.. Jordan told the voters of the city
that he has been editing newspaper
for thirty years and during that time he
has been boosting Florida and inciden-
tally making moderate income for him
self. So well pleased was the audience
with Mr.. Jordan that they refused to
permit any other speaker to address
them until he made his appearance for
the second time with few words of
thanks for the demonstration shown him.
