BREAKING the Solid South.

Every four years enthusiasts. not
perhaps, without discreet wink of the
eye toward the campaign chest, are
surer than certainty that the republic
cans are going to break the Solid
South. This and that state can be
carried" easily with. proper effort
and a free distribution of funds. Geo.
w. Bean, republican national commit
teeman for Florida, has evidently, been
dipped in that fountain of youth which
Ponce de Leon sought. He has, or
seems to have, the immortal and ever
young dream of carrying Florida.
There are only three republican
factions in the commodious little
republican party OF the state. In 1916
Mr.. Wilson had $685. votes and Mr..
Hughes 1851. One Florida represen-
tative in congress was elected without
opposition In contested districts the
democratic vote Is usually from three
to seven times that of the republican.
This year the republicans are going
to conduct an Intensive campaign"
Mr.. Bean says hopefully, and make
the republican candidates get three
times as many votes as they ever did
before" Evidently it is a simple pro-
cess. Mr.. Bean ought to whisper his
secret to the democrats of Vermont
New York Times.

SOLID COMFORT.
BY Frank I. Stanfnn-

Swaying and swaying
In a hammock meath the pines,
And summer winds APPLYING
With the honeysuclSle vines.
Meadow bells a-ringing
To the summer day,
And mockingbird a-singing
Like he'd sing his soul away
Solid comfort in ii.
y No stormy flag unfurled;
You'd think not for minute,
Grief was in the world,

Don't Stand Back, centlemenl

Don't Stand Back, Gentlemen!
| If Tennessee should ratify the Fed
| eral suffrage amendment this week
there are estimated to be in Florida
| 1858 women over the age of TWEEN
ty-one, most of whom would be ELI
gible to vote. The same authority
Compilations from the 1920 census rea
port) gives the state approximately
235,195 males above the age of twen-
ty-one. The state, then, would have
1,748 potential voters.
But, since a hot" primary election
has failed to bring out more than So
900 members of the dominent and al
most unanimous party in the state, it
seems the height of folly to state that
there are 10000, and more men in the
state who are not voting because mem
bers of another party, or because not
interested.
If the women of the state should vote
in comparison to the voting records of
the nen-about one in three-there
would be a woman's vote totalling
some sixty-five thousand, which, as
matter of fact, would mean doubling
the present vote, except on very spe-
cial election occasions.
But the Tribune does not believe
there are 10000 women in Florida who
will vote on the Ides of November. If
they are given the opportunity; fur
thermore, the Tribune does not believe
there are 10000 women in Florida who
want to vote or who VIII vote II the
amendment is ratified.
We are convinced that. so far as this
state is concerned, the cry for the bal
lot has come from a few we'll placed
and extremely competent "clappers'
or advocates of the movement over
Florida. We do not care one iota how
quickly the women get the ballot, so
far as it's making difference in the po-
teal life of the state is concerned,
for we are convinced that the woman
hood of Florida is on the side of prog
ress and in everything that will bene-
fit Florida will be found voting right |
But. for those who may be mfslead
by figures" from the census report on |
the number of women in this state
over twenty-one years, we would say,
90 on and vote your duty as has been
your habit-or should have been. Do
not think you can turn things over to

not. for if the ballot is handed them
