MR.. BRYAN AND FLORIDA
- washington Post.)


With mixed emotions leaders of the Democratic
party have been Specializing as to whether Will
liam Jennings Bryan, who has deserted Nebraska
and taken up his permanent residence in Florida,
is seriously contemplating offering himself
candidate for the United States senate from his
adopted state Senator Trammells term expires
March 4, 1928, so there will be an election for
senator next year. When asked as to his attitude
toward this situation, Mr.. Bryan merely remarked
that he has no plans, which may mean much or
little. He expects to vote in Florida at the next
election, having by that time qualified as an
elector.
There is rather general belief that the voters
of Florida would be inclined to look upon Mr..
Bryan as a carpetbagger if he aspired to the SEN
atorship after only years legal residence in
the state, Notwithstanding his emnence in the
party councils and the prestige he might add to-
Florida. The people down there appear to have a
notion that a senator ought to win his spurs
before taking seat in the upper branch of con \
gress Senator Fletcher. for instance previous
to his election to the senate was member of
the Florida Legislature, mayor of Jacksonville
chairman of the board of public instruction of
Duva county and chairman of the state Demo-
cratic executive committee. Senator Trammell
before coming to Washington was mayor of
Lakeland served in both the house of represen-
tative and the senate of Florida and was attor-
ney general and governor of the state
This would indicate that the Democrats of
Florida are committed to the policy of promoting
their public officials, demanding that they work
thelr way up from the bottom. If they intend to
apply this policy to Mr.. Bryan. it might I've well
for the young orator to look the situation over
with view to running for mayor of Miami for
a start and stepping from that into the governor.
ship. These two offices attained, the senatorship
might properly be considered within his reach
Florida doubtless appreciates the honor of Mr.
Bryans advent to its citizenship, and properly So
but it is not yet clear that she is pleased to the
point where she is ready to hand over to him
one of her most important public Offices

Judging from the comments and expressions Of
visitors no city in Florida is being watched more
closely nor local conditions studied more thor
oughly than in this good city of Lakeland. And

siby nowhere else in Florida is there stronger
tone Of optimism than in Polk county. The reas-

these qualities have made good and arc con-

to believe that week from tonight will be Christ

take the wise step and do their shopping the fore
part of next week there will inevitably be such
a congestion toward the weekend that Christmas
buying will become task rather than pleasure.
Another argument in favor Of buying now is that
there is available wide variety from which to
choose. Later on it will be case of having to
accept what is left. Therefore the Christmas
shopper who does not further delay the selection
of Christmas gifts will have the facilities of better
service. a wider range of choice and will make
the duties of store owners and clerks ever so much
lighter by avoiding the last minute rush.
