The Miami Herald has the kindness
to say of our delegation to the next
legislature: marion county made a
long step forward Tuesday when she
elected a business delegation to the
legislature and will have a represen-
tation second to none in ability. w.
j. Crosby of Citra, represents Marion
and Sumter counties in the senate and
holds over from the last session. He
is an experienced legislator, having
served first in the house. Mr.. Crosby
is an orange grower and is influential
in business. Nathan Mayo, naval
stores operator, merchant and sue
cessful business man, and Charles W.
Hunter will be the members of the
house from Marion. Mr.. Hunter is a
business man and organizer, and was
brother-in-law of the late S. A
Rawls. He has been active in business
and local affairs in Ocala for many
years. 1t is understood that Mr.
Hunter may be a candidate for speak
er of the house at the coming session
If he should decide to make the race
he will be a strong candidate"

Nomination of Harding

NOmInatIOn OF Harding
Upon a platform that has produced
general dissatisfaction, the Chicago
convention presents a candidate whose
nomination will be received with as
tonishment and dismay by the party
whose suffrages he invited. Warren
&. Harding is very respectable
Ohio politician of the second class. He
has never been a leader of men or a
director Of policies. For years a pro-
tege of Foraker, he rose to a subOrdf-
nate office by favor of "Boss" Cox of
Cincinnati. Beaten by JudsOn Har-
mon in the contest for the governor
snip in 1910. he has never shown in
dependent strength in his own state
save when he was named for senator
in 1914, having a majority of a little
more than 100000 over his demo-
cratic competitor; and outside of
Ohio he has only such strength as he
now derives from his place at the head
Of the republican ticket. Senator
Harding's record at Washington has
been faint and colorless. He was an
undistinguished and indistinguishable
unit in the ruck of republican sena-
tors who obediently followed Mr..
Lodge in the twistings and turnings
of that statesman's foray upon the
treaty and the covenant.
The nomination of Harding, for
whose counterpart we must go back
to Franklin Pierce if we would seek
d president who measures down to his
political stature. is the fine and per-
feet flower of cOwardice and imbe-
ciiity of the senatorial cabal that
charged itself with the management
of the republican convention, against
whose control Governor Beechman so
vehemently protested. Rejecting Leon
arG Wood, probably the strongest
candidate with the people the party
could have chosen, because they knew
he would never be dictated to by them,
they favored Governor Lowden until
BoIah served upon them his notice of
a veto of that nomination. Borah was
commanding and truculent because he
knew that he had to deal with a
group of white-livered and incompe-
tent politicians. If republican leader
ship had not fallen into the hands of
pigmies the chief men at Chicago
would have told Borah to bolt and be
hanged, just as upon the issue of the
league they would have defied John
son to do his worst. But they ran
like a frightened flock, surrendered
everything, Mr.. Lodge finally throw
lug off all disguises and standing out
as the open foe Of the covenant of the
league of nations, even with his own
rc3ervations.

"The Committee of 48" was the
first to cast monkey wrench into the
wheels of the smooth running repub-
lican program, and may yet cause the
bosses some anxious hours. 1t asserts
that the convention ignored most of
the serious problems and mentioned
others only to reveal its unwillingness
to face them honestly" 1t proposes
to hold a convention in Chicago on
july 10, to adopt a platform, and
nominate a candidate, who will be
acceptable to the followers of Roose-
Welt. Johnson and Follette-Tampa
Times.
We don't believe Johnson is low
down enough to have anything to do
with LaFollette, and the followers of
Roosevelt will be false to everything
their chief believed in if they form
any alliance with the Wisconsin cop
perhead.

HE BEAT HIMSELF

Having contributed largely toward
making back number Of Gov. Cats,
some Of the state papers have gone to
arguing about which one Of them had
the greatest share in the victory.
Let not our brethren become too
swelled up with pride. Had not Cats
done so much for them to denounce
nim for, they could not have defeated
him. He furnished material for the
bonfire; all they had to do was to
keep it blazing.
It's the Stars opinion that the
Tampa Times did more than any
other paper to defeat Cats Without
abusing him. and saying good things
about him whenever he gave it a right
to, it kept up against him a steady
pressure based on the obvious fact
that he was not fitted for the Office
The policy was also pursued by this
paper and its local contemporary, the
st. Petersburg papers, the Lakeland
Telegram, Miami Herald, St. Angus
tine Record, Gainesville Sun and sew
eral others.
The Times-Union fired some solid
shot at the enemy, but not until he
already had his upper works shot
away and several holes near the wa
terline from the steady fire of the
sn7aller papers. The Tampa Tribune
opened tremendous cannonade about
a year ago, but people couldn't help
remembering that up to that time it
had repeatedly declared that Cats
was the best governor Florida ever
had.
We did our share-we opposed
Cats from the beginning because we
knew that a man who talked as he did
wasn't competent to fill any office in
the gift of the people, and when our
readers came to know Cats better
they agreed with us, and together, the
people and the Star, have helped to
pull Cats down .and cover him up,
and now we will go on to the next job

said the efficiency Of his selling force

People say Harding has no chance
because of precedent. 1t seems that
no United States senator has ever
been elected president. If precedent
had anything to do with it, Wood
would have been nominated with a
whoop. He is a soldier, and Wash
ington, Harrison, Jackson, Taylor,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Mckinley and
Roosevelt were or had been soldiers.
Precedent is a poor guide. Five years
ago they said that no man had ever
been elected in Florida from governor
to senator, and just see what Tram
nell did to that tradition.

The price of gasoline has gone to
sc cents, and yet the council refuses
to allow the taxicab men to increase
their charges to living amount. The
consequence is that we have about
two public automobiles less than the
traffic needs. Lots of times when a
man would give fifty cents for car,
he can't obtain one at any price, be-
cause the few here are engaged. The
city government is not treating the
boys with justice.

Joe Earman says Cats has only

Nash Trucks invariably are sold at list price.
And it is because of their unusual value
that any deviation from the list is
obviously impossible.
The fact is, prices of Nash Trucks would be
many dollars higher than they are were it
not that volume production of both passenger
cars and trucks of value is carried on by one
organization and under the direction of
one group of executives.
Those most familiar with production
methods will best appreciate what this means
in low manufacturing overhead and the
saving effected is passed on to the buyer in
the list price made possible for Nash Trucks.
