NOW LEADING
State Attorney Returns
From Okaloosa County
and Talks of Politics.

Upon his return to the city from
Milligan last night, State Attorney
John P, Stokes was seen By a repre-
sentative Of The Journal and asked
how he found the congressional race
in Okaloosa county. He said:
"We have just finished the first term
Of circuit court in the new county. 1t
was quite natural that the court
would attract to MiIligan a large
number of citizens of the new county.
Many citizens of Walton and Santa
Rosa counties were also present from
time to time during the term. Some
had business before the court, and
some were merely spectators. Upon
the whole, the term was very sue
cessful one, and the people Of the
new county are getting down to bust
ness and viii no doubt build up a
rich and prosperous county.
"When a considerable number Of
people get together around a court
house it is natural for them to talk

concerning the congressional race, and
If the expressions heard can be taker

in the matter, believe that Smith.

him, but / find that the report i
true. 1t seems that he was a yer,
strong member of the Roman Catholi
