Editor Jordan is profoundly
grateful for the kindly manner in
which his candidacy for Secretary
of State of Florida is being treat

use them in installments each
week until the primary, and in
this way further its editors can
didacy.

Peninsula Breeze (Tampa) --Brother
Adrian p. Jordan, editor of the Punta
Gorda Herald, is a candidate for Secre-
tary of State, and we rise to make his
nomination unanimous.
He has been a resident of Florida since
1877, and during most of that time has
been in newspaper harness, all the time
boosting Florida with all of his indomi-
table energy and recognized ability, ac-
complishing much for the advancement
of the State His able and untiring
services in the interest of the public en-
title him to recognition at the hands of
those whom he has served so long and so
well.
SO far as we know the present incum-
bent has discharged the duties of the Of
flee satisfactorily but he has held 1t for
long time, contrary to the presidents
and principles Of the Democratic party.
1t was inherited by him from his father,
the late Hon. John L. Crawford, and has
been in the family so long that we be-
lieve the time is ripe for change of in
cumbent. as we do not believe in heredi-
tary Offices
Brother Jordan is especially equipped
for an able discharge of the duties of the
office, and no better selection could be
made. We hope to see his candidacy en-
dorsed by his brother editors all over the
state, and that the count on June 8 VIII
show him a winner in the contest.

will have to depend upon the unfailing
generosity of his brother editors to let
his candidacy become known and it af-
fords us great pleasure to be able to give
his candidacy publicity. His opponent,
H. Clay Crawford. has held the office for
the past forty years and it is time those
Democrats who believe in rotation give
another good man a chance. Mr. Jordan
has our best wishes for success and we
heartily commend him to the voters Of

take in casting their ballot for him.

Arcadia Enterprise:-Editor Jordan of
the Punta Gorda Herald. has announced
as a candidate for the office of Secretary
of State against the present incumbent,
Hon. II. Clay Crawford, who seeks re-
nomination.
Editor Jordan does not attempt to OBJ
tain votes on account of any alleged
shortcomings on the part of his oppon-
emit. He simply argues that Mr.. CraW-
ford has been in this Office for virtually
forty years drawing a good salary, While
Jordan has been in a newspaper office
during most of those years boosting
Florida and making. strenuous efforts to
avoid deficit in his Saturday night
payroll Jordan thinks Crawford does
lot need the office now and that 1t is
time to pass the job along to one who
does.
You are bound to admit that there is
strong argument in favor of Jordan
view of the matter. We predict that
Col Crawford will have to get out ana
timber up his joints for the hardest race
ne has had in many year. Jordan is
not on his trail and has newspaper
friends all over the state who will boost
his cause until the polls are closed. Hav-
ing just served four years as Pure FOOD
Inspector, Editor Jordan probably met
more people than any other official In
the state during that time. To know
the Punta Gort1a man is to become MS
friend, and we doubt if there are many
men in the state who have a wider circle
of friends than the Herald editor.
Both gentlemen are clean and compe-
tent, so the question of character ana
ability is not an issue. 1t Is simply
question of whether or not man should
be allowed to homestead" a public Of

SENIORS SUCCESS IN
 ''COMEOY OF ERRORS'

On Tuesday evening, February 29th, the Senior Class of N. A. N. s. pre- sented their annual senior play. The play selected by the class of 1916 was the Comedy of Errors" the heaviest and most difficult play ever attempted by the students, but put on with the ease and skill which always character izes the Normal school entertain ments.
 The curtain rose at 8:20, discover ing Ralph Ellinger arrayed in regal splendor as the Duke of Ephesus, lis tening to the pleadings of Aegeon, the old man of Syracuse, whom, under his makeup, the audience had difficulty in recognizing as Orin Compton.
 The next to appear were Clarence Pulliam in the part of Antipholus of Syracuse, and his servant, Victor Stoner as Dromio. Much merriment was caused when another Antiphalus and another Dromio, Cecil Windes and Elmer Henderson, appeared; and in truth so like the first did they seem that even their best friends declared they could not tell which was Heine and which was not.
 Among those who suffered most from this sad state of affairs was Adriana, wife of Antipholus of Ephes- us, who with her sister Luciana, con tinually mistook the wrong Anti phalus for her husband, thus bringing great grief both to themselves and the unfortunate husband. Miss Hanley and Miss Hilty played these parts and brought much applause.
 The other characters who added to the confusion and caused many laughable situations before the matter was finally strengthened out and each discovered the true identity of the others, were Decker Williams as Bal thazar, Thomas Brandt as Angelo, Burke White and Leon Jones as Merchants, Orick Robertson, who doubled in the parts of Pinch, the schoolmaster, and Luce, servant, FL sic Jordan, Leora Daze, Durward Me Kinney, and Ralph Dickinson All took their parts well and displayed much dramatic talent.
 The play was we'll attended and much enjoyed by all present. In order to give everyone an opportunity of seeing it, the play was presented a second time, on Thursday evening, with even greater success than before, and "The Comedy of Errors" has been pronounced by all one of the best dramas ever given by N. A. N. S. The Pine.

''I have traveied for fifty years all over the world, in Africa, Palestine, Egypt, along the Mediterranean Sea and Tn other parts, but never Tn my life did | ever see any agricultural thing that the Salt River Valley lrri- gation Project didn't have whipped to a standstill," said Ed Aver, of Chica- go, federal Indian commissioner, who is visiting Phoenix for the first time.
 Although this is Ayers first visit to Phoenix it is not his first in Ari- zona, for he fought Indians back in the sixties.
 Aver first came to Arizona in 1862, as a member of the First California Cavalry, which fought with the Union side during the Civil War. He was first stationed at Tucson and, later, at other places. In 1863, he was pro noted to Second Lieutenant in the First New Mexico Infantry.
 Afte rthe war and after engaging in numerous battles with the Apaches and Navajos, he left Arizona but re- turned in 1881, and, during the fol- lowing two years, built the Aver Lum- Der Mill, at Flagstaff, the first at that point. This mill today is known as the Arizona Lumber X Timber Company and is owned by the Rior- dan Bros. The material for the con- struction was hauled from Canon Dia- bio to Flagstaff, by bull teams at 8 cost of $40,000.
 Aver is connected with numerous historical and art societies and is 2 trustee of the well known Chicago Art Institute. During his stay in the city he is stopping at the Adams and i' accompanied by his wife. They art touring the southwest in their Loco mobile.-Phoenix Gazette.
