FLORIDA'S SLUMP.

Reviewing the recent democratic
primary election in this state, thu
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser sum:
up a severe castigation Of the people
and conditions in Florida who ant
which brought about the nomination
of Sidney ]. Cats for governor:
1t is an evil thing, we submit,
for any man to be elected to Of
flee because of his religious af-
filiations. 1t is an evil day for
any commonwealth when a ma
iority of it's people measure the
capacity and character Of men by
the clerical rod. 1t is an evil
day for advanced America when
a political leader asks for the
favor of sovereigns on the ground
that he is a Catholic, a Jew, a
Baptist, a Methodist, Presby-
terian, an Episcopalian, or a
Congregationalist. Such q spec
tacle is mockery of our ideals
and traditions. 1t appeals to the
baser impulses. 1t stirs the pas
sions and adde's the reasoning
faculties of man. 1t substitutes
hate and fury for research and
reflection. 1t corrupts govern
ment, and makes government,
inefficient, partial, biased and
vindictive. Its outlook does not
contemplate the welfare of all
of the people, but the exaltation
of one class of people at the
expense of anoher class of peo-
pie. 1t is the greatest error
that ever came into American
politics to hold that these things
are to be considered in America
in connection with political needs.
We say this to Florida because
it is the first American state in
the dawn of this new day that
has abased itself before the
teachers of Intolerance, Bigotry,
Demagoguery and Hickism. 1t
is the first state to go to the eX-
treme limit.
Other states may follow suit.
In Florida, after a taste of this
uncanny brew, there may be-in-
deed we have no doubt that
there will be-a reaction, a re-
vulsion of popular sentiment
against this sort of thing.
Florida is potentially wonder
full state. The need of the hour in
Florida is a master leader whose
minds eye sees farther than the
tip of his nose. Florida cam
not be a great state until it has
great leaders. And the men it
has just exalted are not great
leaders and cannot be great lead
ers because they are not strong
enough to lift themselves above
their environment. They cannot
be of the highest service to their
state because they are opposed to
one class in that state.
We fear that Florida has set
other states a bad example. We
fear it is out of sympathy with
an essential and time-honored
principle, the principle which in
sures Americans free thought
and religious freedom.
