mains that it is being thought OF and
discussed, and incidentally l am con-
stantly in receipt Of letters from
friends in different sections o! the
State, asking II will be a candidate.
Having definitely concluded quite d
while ago to be a candidate for the
Governorship Of Florida, no good pur-
pose can be subserved, so far as |
can see, by further delaying a declar'
alton of my intention to make the race.

mary election.
I hardly think 1t necessary, or prop
er at this time, to set forth platform

and new issues constantly arising

that I shall stand for sound demo
