ATTY GEN. RULES
IN CLIFTON CASE

This mornings Tampa Tribune
says:
The question of who Is to be county
school superintendent Of Polk county
for the balance of the present term
Is very much up in the air. The gov
ernor, according to advices from Tai
lahassee, has been advised by Attor-
ney-General Van G. Swearingen that
h has committed one more OF his
famous bulls" in dciding to enforce
through anorder to the sheriff OF Polk
county, his order to Superintendent
John A. Moore that he vacate the Of
fee and turn it over to DIR. w. l..
Clifton. 1t was DR.. Clifton whom the
governor removed in 1918, and whose
removal was sustained by the senate
in 1919. The governor appointed Mr..
Moore In Clifton's place, and many
months after the state supreme court
had reversed the lower court in the
matter where Clifton had been found
guilty of an alleged juggling of a
small sum of the county's fund
which was the ground for his removal
by the governor-that Mr.. Cats sent
him a new appointment and request
to Mr.. Moore to make way for him.
Mr.. Moore wouldn't make way. He
hasn't yet. DR.. Clifton took the mat
tr up with the governor, and the gov
nor breezed into Barlow last week
and Mr.. Moore sidestepped out o.
town and the sheriff didn't act. Bu
Clifton's attorneys are seeking a man
damus to get Moore out of office, ant
they averred that Judge Edwards, be
fore whom Clifton was tried, was no
impartial, and so sought to have th'
circuit Judge in DeSoto act. Th'
Judge there, as recited in The Tribune
yesterday, held that mere allegation
OF prejudice wasn't enough to- deba
Judge Edwards from hearing the pre-
ceedings.
