In the Apalachicola Times Of last
week there is a fine editorial about
Charles B. Parkhill, who is all keyed
up to run for governor. The Times is
slightly mixed on it's facts, however, for
Judge Parkhin was member of the
supreme court, and resigned from that
position. which goes to prove that they
do sometimes resign, the prevailing be-
lief to the contrary notwithstanding.
Judge Parkhill resigned to make the
race for congress from this district, but
for some reason he got cold feet and
threw away what appeared to be a Ger
tain chance to become a member of the
federal law-making body. At that time
the Third district was represented by
D. H. Mays of Monticello, and there
was considerable sentiment throughout
the district for a more active man, and
Judge Parkhill was persuaded to make
the race. However. Judge Parkhill fl
nally withdrew and Emmett Wilson was
elected.
Those Florida voters who like old
time oratory will find Judge Parkhill
a most pleasing and entertaining
speaker, and he is such gentlemanly
sort of a fellow that his gubernatorial
plane.
The article from the Apalachicola
Times follows:
