Florida Press Opinion
ALL WE ASK OF A MULE
(Tampa Tribune)


We regret that the honored and esteemed chair
of the state democratic executive committee
has misread editorial, "a Burnt Child" to mean
"condemning' his refusal comply with the
quest of the state to call state convention
of the democratic party Florida"
The Burnt Child" is the party, not Mr.. Raney,
however much the official head of the party in
Florida may have to bear the scar of the burn
But Chairman Raney gives the very idea we
want to bring out. says such convention"
as we propose, and other papers in Florida have
proposed. would be merely political caucus-and,
like mule have neither the pride of ancentry
the hope Of posterity.'"
Who concerns himself with the future" OF a
mule? Who cares for the past of that animal?
All we demand of mule is that he be capable of
performing the task have for it today. Let 1t
our destination then may turn it out "to shake
its ears and Craze commons
The trouble with the chairrnan's viewpoint, and
and that of too of legislators, is it is from
that of the Iawyer-it must have n precedent"
without precedent no lawyer understand any
thing being done. He takes pride in the Ancestry
of every act, and traces with the joy of misar
counting his gold the long unbrolen line of pre-
cedents" followed added by the lawyer before
him, and the one before that, and The prior to
this, and so on back to that time whereof the
memory of man runneth to The contrary"
Call it caucus if you will, "a double 3arreled
political caucus" What matters the name? The
party in congress holds party the party
in the nation holds party caucuses when the
tlonal committeeman meet and look to the coming
needs of the party. What need, what the party
needs, is coming together of its leaders, real
assumed, to look matters strictly in the face and
without regard to ancentry or posterity of their
coming.
Our belief is that the party should together
and by process of elimination, friendly vol
unfairly without the least attempt force any

every office to be filled through vote the

which the chairman depreciates much s we do
OF course, If after coming together, be found
that the party is not composed of big enough
to sacrifice present ambition for the present AND
the future welfare nay, life of the party then
