The grand jury was again called te
meet In session yesterday to investi
gate a number OF cases that were sc
be brought before them, principal
among which was that of the murder
Of Mr.. J. J. Guthrey, near his home q
short time ago.
There was quite large crowd in
the court room to hear the charge tc
the jury. Judge Bullock, in stating
the duties Of the jury, laid especial
stress upon the Importance of stop
ping the Illicit traffic in "moonshine, >
BE said that the treasury of the state
Of Florida was behind them in their
efforts In this line as well as were
the best citizens OF the county. He
cited a number OF cases that were i'm
mediately traceable to the "damnable
stuif' and said that IL these Iawbreak
ers were allowed TO continue in the
nefarious business none could tell al
what time the sacred precincts of his
home might be invaded by some fiend
srazed with the low grade concoction,
manufactured solely for the purpose
of gathering in few dollars without
regard as to its consequences.
There was probably not one in the
audience but who felt somewhat con,
science stricken when he thought that
perhaps in the course Of his observa.
tions he might have been able to shed
some light or evidence whereby the
officers OF the law might have been
aided in their efforts TO round up
these "moonshiners," but dreading the
publicity that II might bring had held
his knowledge to himself. This, the
Judge pointed out. was wrong; that
every good citizen, with the welfare
Of his fellow man at heart should bold
~ come forward and give what evi
dence he might be in possession OF
and do HIS utmost in Kidding our faiI
land OF this evil.
The members Of the grand jury
lent an attentive ear to the remarks
Of Judge Bullock and after he had
finished retired TO their room to de
liberate thereon.
About 4:30 yesterday afternoon the
jury returned indictments against
Clarence Langford. Earl MacRae and
Jake Anderson (colored) for the mur

ration that voters are anxious to
have. 1t is quite evident that he Is
not the type of politician who glories
| in cheap applause. He is rot the
epoch-making sort, and this disin.
clination to play to the grand stand
is counted by some critics serious
drawback to his candidacy. Yet he
has a political sense to a much great
er degree than is commonly imag:n
ed. He is a keen student of human
nature; he reads history and biog
araphy as a hobby; he can take politi
Ical stands and develop them-he did
not win position on the boards of
directors of great mining corpora
tions by his engineering ability alone.
With true American shrewdness and
idealism he can formulate high pur-
poses and achieve them practically.

A career such as his does not leave
man with many illusions either about

Perhaps the best way to under

we think of him as guiding the stua-
tion in which he is interested, of say
ing little. but that little straight tc
the point. of directing and controlling
and getting his own way.
On the important question of labor
and capital, Hoover sees the interde-
pendence of the two, and would favor
neither side. His ideas on this prob
lem especially are practicable and usa.
BILE, for he has had as much to do
with workmen as with financiers. He
is no theorist or visionary. and his
concern is chiefly with affecting a
working compromise in which the ex
tremists of neither one side nor the
other would be given control. His
knowledge of economics is based on
wide experience with finance and or
ganization, and on thorough reading
and study.

strength, knowledge and diverse in

would display the best talents Of the

tr four men most likely to be the n "
I president of the United States. His
record of accomplishment is web
Enown-his Quaker birth in Iowa, hia
college career at Leland Stanford, his
| amassing of a fortune before he was
! 80 by a career as mining engineer in
Asia mad London, his wonderful work
! in feeding Belgium, his valuable ser.
/ vice as food dictator over much of the
civilized world-all these facts are
common knowledge. The name oil
Hoover is household word through
tout the length and breadth of the
land. What is more to the point insa
political sense, his personality is Tx
ed by the American people. He l.
trusted and admired; the masses ot
voters feel confidence in the determin
ed-Iooking, square jawed, quiet man
whose picture has been so much il

years.
What everyone wants to know abou:
Hoover is, what is in his mind:
What are his aims? Is he pro-Brit
Iish? Does he want to be president?
Would he, if elected, expand and sue
Eceed: or would he contract and fizzl.,
|out?
First and foremost, it should be un
derstood that Hoover is a true blue
American, a splendid type of middle
Westerner seasoned and broadened by
experience abroad. In spite of the
years spent in association with En-
glishnlen, his sturdy Independent spir
it has been affected not at all in tie
direction of weakening his patriotism
He is by no means an Anglophjle

most-and Hoover is typically Amc ri
can in his strong hates! AS Roase
cit pointed out, Americans have 2
absorbed, perhaps, from the environ.
inen tor climate. Hoover's knowledge
of the shortcoming and faults of for.
eigu nationalities, as we'll as of Their
virtues, gives him an extraordinary
grasp of world problems Since re-
turning to America he has been pow
erfully moved by the conviction that
our nation is splendidly different from
| the old world. and that he never can
be anything else but four-sqaare
American The more he has learned
OF other nationalities, the more fierce
" and deeply he has felt his Ameti
! canism.
This Iowa Quaker comes of gcct'
stock. He has solid foundations o1
character and he has always shown
adaptability and power to rise to ihe
occasion. When problems confront
| him he grows to meet them; his re
sources of ability and mentality are
unusually large. Although he does
not trumpet his plans of self-confi-
dence in advance, he quietly but sure
| ly attacks and masters his tasks, do

seems best to his practiced mind; and
ire is nearly always right His TRAN
