Mr.. Knots First Speech

The first public speech, per
haps, which Hon. VIM. V. Knot
ever made was delivered before 6
large and appreciative audience
at Bushnell in Sumter county or
Washington's birthday. Accord
ing to reliable newspaper reports
he acquitted himself admirably,
to the surprise of his friends who
have always regarded him as hav-
ing virtually no oratorical ability,
He was pitted against Hon. f. A.
Wood, former member . of the
Florida house of representatives,
a veteran debater, and one of Mr..
knott's competitors for the CUB
ernatorial nomination.
The reports agree that he de-
molished several of the principal
Iplanks in Mr.. Woods platform
NOTABLY his scheme of farm loans
which was shown to be impracti
cable, if not impossible, and his
claim that credit should be giver
him for the abolition of the offic,
of county treasurer, which offic,
the people themselves abolished
by voting for the adoption of 1
constitutional amendment to tina
end.
The Tampa Tribune's repor
states that Mr.. Wood concluded
his speech with this allegation:
"The affairs of the State O.
Florida have been administered
in manner that no business cor
lporation would tolerate. Mr.
Knott has told you that he die
this and he did that, but the fac
remains that the system in vogu,
when the country blacksmith qui
his anvil, took off his leather APP
ron, mounted his mustang ant
chased down a criminal, receiv
ing fee for the time lost from
this business, or when the keeper
of the country store left his mer
chandise and made a record of ;
deed or mortgage for his neigh
bor,, and received fee for hi
time lost, still remains in force. ,
To which Mr.. Knott replied
"Mr. Wood has addressed you a,
if he was a candidate for the Leg
islature, ignoring the fact tina
the office of governor has no con
Germ with the making of laws, bu
solely with their execution. Fl,
has predicated his claims upon tn,
hypothesis that the laws of oul
land are rotten, and that you
ought to select him to make new
ones. He claims that he coulC
save the taxpayers a million dol
lars by so doing, which would
build 100 miles of brick roads
and l would like to have him tel
us why he did not put upon tn
statute books some of these pan
aeeas for State ills, while he wa
in the legislature, being paid on
of the State funds for that serv
ice"

Knott Challenges Wood

VIM. V. Knott, candidate for
governor, may not be an orator;
indeed, previous to this campaign,
it is not recorded that he ever
made a speech; but, in a clash
With his opponent, Hon. F. A.
Wood, at Bushnell on Feb. 22nd.
he proved that he could talk very
effectively and, in the opinion of
his audience, he "mopped up the
floor" with Mr.. Wood. Immed-
lately thereafter he issued form
al challenge to Mr.. Wood for a
joint debate at Clearwater, the
county seat of Mr.. Woods owl
county. Thus Knott shows that
he has both courage and conf
dence in addition to the other
high characteristics which his
friends know him to possess.
The editor of The Herald has
known Mr.. Knott for thirty.f;ve
years and his modest, retiring dis
position made the editor believe
that his favorite candidate for
governor was handicapped with
timidity, but it is now clearly ap-
parent that timidity does not re-
strain him in dealing with 4ues-
tons of right and justice and
with political clap-trap. He has
the courage and the ability to
stand up before the populace and
declare for what he believes to be
right, regardless Of what effect it
may have upon his candidacy.
He is the kind of man to have
for governor-a man who will
not stoop to any political tricks,
or subterfuges or clap-trap to de-
ceive the people into voting for
him. And, if he is elected, the
people may rely upon it that he
will make them one of the best
gvernors they have ever had.

The Case of Judge Whitney


The Herald has no doubt that a
large majority of the people, in
GLIDING the lawyers, would be
glad to have Judge Whitney con-
tinue as judge of the tenth judi
cial circuit. 1t is the belief of
many that he refused to become a
candidate for denomination sole
| ly because of his repugnance to
the idea of the Judiciary being
drawn or forced into politics.
With the necessity for an appeal
to the voters and a contest for the
nomination being eliminated. it is
believed that Judge Whitney
would have accepted re-appoint-
ment.
However this may be, it is a
fact that many people in the cir
cult earnestly desire Judge Whit
Iney's retention in the position
which he has filled so ably and
admirably and to the satisfac-
ton of the bar and the people of
the circuit.
A large meeting held in Fort
Myers on the 21st ult. unanimous
ly adopted resolutions demanding
that Judge Whitney become a
candidate for denomination. The
resolutions went further and re-
quested the withdrawal from the
race of those candidates who have
announced to succeed Judge
Whitney.
The Lee county people, Of
course, have right to adopt any
resolutions they please, but The
Herald regrets that they asked
the withdrawal of any candidates.
The Herald has never asked
man to run for office or to quit
running, but in this case it is
perfectly willing to ask Judge
Whitney to run. 1t believes that
he ought to run, that he owes it
to the people to do so, that the
people have right TO the serv-
ice which he is SC capable Of rend-
ering and that he will make a SER
Ious mistake if he persists in
'burying his talent" in virtually
throwing away his capacities for
ioing good in the promotion of
aw and order and justice in be-
half of the people who have I'M
pounded confidence in him and
who are virtually clamoring for
him to serve them.
Some Of Judge Whitney's
friends believe that the true rea.
son for his declining to RIM was
hat he was given to understand
hat he would have opposition and
hat this opposition would make
he race at least unpleasant for
him. The Herald does not enter
tain this view. 1t believes that,
# Judge Whitney should yet be-
come a candidate, the two gentle
men who have announced for his
position would treat him with the
greatest respect and considera-
ton, and he need not fear the re-
suit.

The Times-U ion, havin g
sworn that the horse is eighteen
feet high, quotes census figures to
support its testimony. But the
Times Union does not claim that
these figures show that a MAORI
ty of Florida Democrats" approx
ed of the Sturkie resolutions; it
claims that majority of the
people of Florida" approved of
them. This latter contention may
be correct, for it includes Repub-
leans and others who would
doubtless like to see dissension in
the Democratic party; but we
submit that the figures given do
not furnish evidence that "ma-
jority of Florida Democrats ap-
proved of the Sturkie resolutions
and this was and is the question
at issue.
The Times Union gives a list
with the population of the coun-
ties represented by the twenty
five executive committeeman who
voted to repeal the resolutions
and also a list of the seventeen
voting against repeal. The form
er shows total population Of
$780, 900, the latter 473, 406. From
which the Times-Union deduce'
the conclusion that a majority
Iof the people" were opposed t.
1.-THE repeal.
I A careful analysis of the two
lists, however, will sustain The
Herald's contention that major
lity of the Democrats wanted The
resolutions repealed.
| Amongst the counties whose
representatives voted against re
peal are: Alachua, Duval, Jack.
son, jefferson, Leon, Madison
Marion and Suwannee, whose to.
tai population is 26S,S17. Unfor.
tunately, The Herald has no de.
tailed census figures at hand, but
it feels safe in saying that one
half of those 26S,817 people are
Negroes, The remaining nine OF
the seventeen counties also have
considerable Negro population.
On the other hand, nearly all
of the twenty-five counties whose
representatives voted for repeal
have comparatively few Negroes.
All in both lists have Republi-
cans and Socialists in their popu-
lation.
We think it will be admitted
that large majority of the DEM
ocrats of Broward and DeSoto
counties, which were not repre-
sented at last weeks meeting of
the state committee, were oppos-
ed to the Sturkie resolutions.
Now, if we deduct the Republi.
cans, Socialists and Negroes
from the population figures given
by the imes-Union and include
Broward and DeSoto in the oppo.
sition, we are pretty sure that the
result will show that large ma.
jority of Florida Democrats were
represented by the committeeman
who voted for the resembling OF
the Sturkie resolutions.

Those celebrated executive
committee resolutions were a po-
litical god-send for Governor
Trammell, as they gave him an
excuse to get a great amount of

have been rescinded, he will claim
all the credit.

The Barlow Record corrects
the statement in The Herald s
."Line-Up of the Press" that the
Record supports Trammell for
senator. The Record is emphati-
cally for Perry Wall. Thus it
seems that three of Governor
Trammell's home papers do not
support him, viz: the Record, the
Courier-lnformant and the Au-
burndale News. This argues that
he cannot carry his own county.
