Hurls His Defiance

Hurls His Defiance
Lakeland Telegram: Governor
Trammell, candidate for the United
States Senate, hurls his defiance in
the teeth of the liquor traffic senti-
ment in Florida by announcing that
he is for national prohibition through
a constitutional amendment to that
end. There isn't much organized IL
quor traffic sentiment left in Florida,
and we doubt if it will have spirit
enough to accept the challenge and
make an aggressive fight against the
governors candidacy. 1t is too busy
rying to save it's hide at home to
worry itself and waste its force over
the greater field of national prohibi-
ton. And, besides, Governor Tram
nell doesn't need the liquor vote to
be elected to the Senate.

Governor Trammell's Manly Stand


Miami Metropolis: In the an
nouncement of Governor Park Tram
nell that if elected to the United
States senate he will favor and vote
for national prohibition, the people of
Florida are given information on a
highly important matter, and informa :
tion which they should have from ev-
cry aspirant to congressional office.
The question is vital one of the day
and cannot be "side-stepped" advan-
tageously by any politician, for the
people want to know.
They want to know if the men they
send to Washington are going to vote
for the homes and the happiness of
the people, or for the brewery inter-
ests. They want to know if the men
they send to Washington are big
enough to vote for what they know
is right, or small enough to comprom-
Use with evil for the sake Of some pol
itical pull or preferment. For the
people of Florida know that a vote
against a resolution to submit the pro-
hibition amendment to the states for
ratification would be lineup with the
lowest element in the country-the Ii
quor advocates.
| Nor will Governor Trammell, or any
other congressional -aspirant, "find
himself outside the pale" of the Dem

Bryan was testifying at his own
request before the Newlands joint

Ing public utilities.
''The fact that the railroads ask
for II Is conclusive proof that the
control is not intended for greater
regulation Bryan declared. land
every congressman would be subject

nations and elections would be given
TO him."
Bryan Ssid federal control would

Bryan came out flatly for govern

opposed government ownership.

lean to the individual idea rather
than the collective. believe In In
dividual ownership, except where
competition is impossible
Questioned by Senator Newlands
Bryan said: Aa
Some OF the railroads have been
guilty OF things that would bring
discredit on an ordinary highway rob

A railroad. Bryan said, should bs
