JORDAN'S THEORY

Editor Jordan of the Punta Gorda
Herald, dopes out the following doc
trine, which has some foundation:
1T is believed by many people that
the election of Governor Cats was
due to the hunger for office affecting
a number of designing men, who
played upon the ignorance and pre-
JUDGES of the illiterate classes, sup
plemented by the activities of the
Guardians of Liberty and the able
support of some misguided men. This
combination, however, would not have
given Mr.. Cats the victory, had not
another element of considerable
strength quietly given him their
votes.
A gentleman who takes a deep in
terest in Florida's political affairs has
made a careful investigation Of the
several causes contributing to the
election of Mr.. Cats and has discov-
cred the element alluded to. 1t IS
composed of people who have come
to Florida and settled within the past
five or six years. They came chiefly
from the middle west and most of
them are republicans at home. Inves-
legations showed that fully ninety per
cent of them voted for Mr.. Cats.
Their motive, it was ascertained on
careful inquiry, was to break up the
existing order of things in the poll
tics of Florida. They simply wanted
change; especially one that would
create dissention in the democratic
party of the state. They were sure
that Geo. w Allen, the republican
candidate, had no chance of election,
that Mr.. Cats offered them the best
opportunity for the accomplishment
of their design.
That this element gave their votes
| to Mr.. Cats is proven by the fact
that he carried by overwhelminging
| maorities all the places where these
westerners lived in considerable num-
bers, such as St. Cloud, Zephyrhills,
Lynn Have nand other places.
! Now when it is remembered that
the last federal census showed that
Florida had increased in population
by forty per cent and that this in
| crease came almost entirely from the
middle west, it is reasonable to con-
clude that the newcomers cast near
! Iy ten thousand votes without which
| Mr.. Cats could not have been elected.
| These newcomers undeniably accom-
plished their object, but, be it said to
| their credit, that none of them have
been clamoring to be rewarded with
public office Next time, the demo-
cratic party and its authorities ought
to keep these new CITIZENS in mind and
| endeavor to convince them of the
reprehensible nature of their conduct.

house of representatives should pledge
themselves not to reimburse said Off
Gals for money lost during the time
Of their suspension. 1t will certainly
be a great injustice to the people to
pay for Cats petty tyranny, and at
the same time it is an injustice to
any official to be made the victim of
the same evil influence. Some of the
men the governor has suspended I'M
doubtedly deserved to be fired, and if
an official who is suspended from his
office thru the governors whim is able
to make a good living, he should be
more patriotic than to demand, if re-
placed, any back pay. The best thing
TO do is to be very careful whom we
elect next year. Let's try to send our
best men to the legislature and then
leave it to them to deal with the sit
uation as they find it.

know that no pardon the governor is
opposed to is granted, no matter who
else favors it, and that any pardon
the governor favors is likely TO be
granted, no matter who opposes i.
This case is a disgrace to the state
any how. No warning seems to have
been given the people Of Polk county
that the pardon was to be considered,
else there would have been a strorg
protest against it. The pardon board
seems ashamed of this case. No re
port Of it has been given to the pub
lie, and all that can be learned of the
proceedings is what leaks out thru
such inspired papers as the Lakeland
Star. The next time such an outrage
is attempted, we would advise the
male relatives of the wronged girl to
fill the criminal with buckshot. At
least, while the present administra-
ton is in power.

Outstanding. A German who has
been in this country twenty-five TO
fifty years, or the son Of German
parents who has been here all his life,
may be perfectly loyal. but won't say
so because he feels like his loyalty
shouldn't be questioned. And some
enthusiastic Americans think he ism
loyal because he isn't demonstrative
about it. Harrington is probably
right. So far as the Star is concern
ed, it has been more inclined to be-
lieve in the loyalty of those who were
saying little or nothing than in that
of those who are vociferous.

If Gov. Cats removes the commits
sioners of Polk county we would sug-
gest that he appoint L. w. Bloom as
one of the new commissioners, for,
according to the Lakeland Morning
Star, he is the only honest man in
Polk -Wauchula Advocate.
Editor Goolsby hasn't been reading
Editor Bloom carefully. Judging by
the Lakeland Star, there are at least
a hundred honest men in Polk, and if
they were put in office, their right
eousness might leaven the whole
lump.

If Governor Cats will give Sheriff
Galloway copy of the charges
against him, he can easily confute
them. Mr.. Galloway has made good
sheriff. The reason for trying to put
him out of office is simply that he isn't
partisan of Cats, and some par
tisan of Cats wants his office. If Mr..
Galloway is suspended without a fair
chance to defend himself, as the Vo-
lusia commissioners were, what the
people of this county will do to Cats
partisans in the next election will be
4 plenty and then some. Even men
opposed to Mr.. Galloway don't wart
to see him treated with rank injustice.

CLAUSE IN RESERVE ACT
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
U. 8. Supreme Court Upholds Au-
thority Conferred on National
Banks to Serve as Trustees,

In the first case involving the federal
reserve act, the Supreme Court of the
United States has upheld as constitu-
tfonal the laws clause authorizing
national banks to act as trustees. exec
utors. administrators and registrars OF
stocks and bonds.
The opinion rendered by the United
States Supreme Court in the case of
Bank vs.. Fellows is one of great i'm
portance to banks composing the ma
tional system. In order to enable ma
tional banks to meet the competition
of state banks and trust companies
Congress endeavored to coordinate
their powers with those of banks
granting to them the right to act as
trustee. executor. administrator and
registrar of stocks and bonds. when
permitted to do so by the federal re-
serve board.
The First National Bank Of Bay City
obtained permit to act in these ca
pacities and was naped as trustee

eral of Michigan. at the instance of the
trust companies of that state, insti-
tuted proceedings In the nature of quo
warranto against the First National
Bank, and the supreme court Of Michi-
gan entered an order which enjoined
that bank from acting in any Of the
capacities mentioned.
The case was appealed to the United
States Supreme Court and because. Of

docket. John W. Davis. solicitor gen.
eral; Milton C. Elliott, counsel for the
federal reserve board. and Joseph P.
Cotton of Spooner & Cotton, New York,

brief on behalf of the United States as
amicus curiae. Oral arguments were
made by John G. Johnson of Philadel-
phia and Henry NJ. Campbell of Detroit
on behalf of the trust companies in
opposition to an extension of the
powers Of national banks. This was
the last appearance before the Supreme
Court OF John G. Johnson. who died a
few weeks ago.

the solicitor general argued the case on
behalf of the appellants and the United
States government.
