Do you know of one that has

the Punta Gorda Herald. Mr.. Jordan is
a veteran newspaper man, one of the
Oldest and most consistent boosters Flor
ida has been blessed with: a man of wide
acquaintance and varied accomplish

and benefit to his state. He acquainted us
with the fact that he is in the race for
the office of secretary of the state. The
citizens of this section and every section
of the whole state could honor their
state in no better way than giving this
office to Editor Jordan. He has the abil-

taken care of and the sterling honesty
to see that it would be run on lines near

Lakeland Telegram:-The description
of the duties of Secretary of State, as
given by Editor Harris, of the Ocala
Banner. gives us the impression that it
is just the kind of Office we would like
ourself, and we don't blame Editor Jor-
dan for trying to take it away from Mr..
Crawford, nor the latter for trying to
hold on to it. Leaving a .'ubber stamp
behind him to sign his name to official
papers, or signing commissions in blank,
one can enjoy fishing and hunting trips
for six weeks at a time That sounds
like the life to us.
