SUMTER'S CANDIDATE
FOR THE SENATE

This being Sumter's turn to send a
man to the senate, Mr.. N. ]. Wicker
of Coleman submits his name to the
democratic voters of the twentieth
district as a candidate for that office,
and, so far as is known, will be the
only man from that county who will
aspire to the Office
Mr.. Wicker is a Georgian by birth,
but has been in Florida for thirty-six
years, and has done his full share in
helping to build up his section. He is
a farmer and trucker and his stand
ing among his neighbors is shown by
the fact that he has twice represented
his county in the lower house of the
legislature. He states in his platform:
Realizing that live stock is and
should be one of Florida's greatest
assets, now languishing and threaten
ed with destruction, l favor legislation
that will eradicate the cattle fever
tick, so Florida may have an outlet
and market for her cattle.
Realizing that the welfare of any
government must rest upon the in
telligence of its citizens, I favor lib
eral provision by the legislature for
the maintenance of our rural, town
and city schools as we'll as Florida s
institutions of higher learning.
81 am unalterably opposed to freak
Legislation of any nature whatsoever
and if elected will use my every effort
to prevent their passage, thereby pre-
venting our statute books from being
encountered with absurd laws.
81 am opposed to the judiciary be-
ing placed in the hands of the cleo
torate, firm in the belief that it tends
to lower the dignity, lessen respect
and prevent in measure the enforce
ment of our laws, when these high
dignitaries are forced to scramble for
Office, by the common methods of the
politicians"
Mr.. Wicker is sixty-two years old
a vigorous, sturdy, sunburned farmer
He has good home at Coleman, and
| his family consists of his wife, two
daughters and a son, the latter q
young man who volunteered to serve
his country in the world war before

COMPACT, BETWEEN MARION
AND SUMTER COUNTIES

The announcement of Mr.. w. j.
Crosby of Citra, at present state SEN
ator from the twentieth district, con-
sisting of Marion and Sumter coun-
ties, that he considers the custom of
Marion and Sumter counties alternat-
ing senator's yet to be regarded, and
that consequently he will not be a
candidate for reelection if Sumter
offers good man, and the announce
ment by Mr.. N. J. Wicker of Coleman
that he is candidate for the sena-
torship, brings the question of con-
tinuing to regard the ancient compact
between the two counties squarely be-
fore the democratic voters of both.
There was undoubtedly such an
agreement entered into more than
thirty years ago, and kept up to the
last election, the only attempt to break
it being made by Marion candidate,
who was defeated by the voters of his
own county.
Our friend, Mr.. William Hooker,
has told US of meeting held in Ocala
some sixteen years ago, in which Ger
tain citizens of Sumter county agreed
that if Marion would support their
candidate Captain Baker, for the
next term, they would be satisfied and
not insist on regular rotation of the
Office between the counties any longer.
There was undoubtedly such a meet
ing held, and such a promise made by
Sumter men. But it is a matter of
doubt that the people of their county
authorized, or the people of Marion
asked, them to make such a promise.
And certain it is that the custom has
continued as tho no such promise was
succeeded by Mr.. Carney of Marion;
Mr.. Carney was succeeded by Mr..
Terrell of Sumter, and Mr.. Terrell
was succeeded by Mr.. Crosby of Mar
ion. At no time has Sumter offered a
candidate except in its regular turn,
and the men it has sent to the senate
have always been of high character
and ability.
Marion is larger, richer and more
populous county than Sumter, and
some impatience has been manifested
at the smaller member of our sena-
torial group having equal power with
the greater in our upper house. But
it must be remembered that Sumter
was invited into the combination, and
invited because it was needed. 1t also
seems that Marion's chatting at the
yoke was greater several years ago
than it is now.
There is a strong feeling among
our people that Marion cannot afford
to break its pledge, and that if the
agreement with Sumter should be
broken it should have been done in an
off year-say, two years ago-so that
Sumter would have known what to
expect. If the apportionment amend
ment carries, Sumter will go into an
other district, and may not be repre-
scented in the senate for many years
while Marion will be district by it.
self.
The Star is not so unalterably
welded to a promise that it would ad-
wise the people of the twentieth dis.
trict to send an inferior man to the
senate simply because he happens to
be from Sumter in that county's turn
and it would certainly fight bad man
of its own county if he tried to go in
on Marion's turn; but, all other things
being equal, it thinks that it is Mar.
ions duty to let her smaller sister
have the lead in what will probably
be their last trip together to the state
capitol.

WANTON WASTE OF TAXES
MUST BE BROUGHT TO STOP

ELKO, New, Oct. 23.-Greater
economy must be exercised in public
affairs, declared Charles B. Hender-
son, one of the most prominent
Democrats and former Democratic
United States senator, before the
convention of the Federated Wo-
mems Clubs held here a few days
ago. In his address Senator Hen
1erson said that progress in govern
ment was not measured by the
large expenditure of public funds,
and directed the attention of his
audience to the mounting trend of
taxation.
1t was only a few months ago
that Senator Henderson, who is
large taxpayer, severely assailed
state expenditures in an address de-
,ivered before the Progressive Busi-
ness Club here. At that time he
said:
Progress does xsot mean a lavish
expenditure of money. During the
period between 1916 and 1921 there
was an increase in state taxes of
between 1912 and 1921 there was
an increase in state taxes of 101
per cent. What were the benefits
derived from this excessive in
crease?"
In the same speech he pointed out
that the per capita tax of Nevada
was a matter of most serious con-
Germ, being far above that of
Washington, Wyoming and New
Mexico.

FALSE ALARM WAS
CAUSE OF HARD RUN
Eagle Drug Store Awning Set Afire
Supposedly by Cigarette Took
Fire Company Out Ready
for Battle With Fire

An alarm of fire, turned in lit
tie after IL o'clock last night,
routed the fire boys out on the
double run, ready to fight the red
demon up hill and down dale, to
the last ditch. After having par
ticipated in two or three battles
royal with the angry, Kissing
tongues of fire, a good fireman en-
joys, in a way, a contest with
devastating flames and it is with
alacrity, close bordering upon eager
ness, that he rushes to battle.
Last night, however, the alarm,
most fortunately, was a false one,
but the fremen had all the zest in
cidental to being reused from sweet
slumbers and participating in a
run, just the same.
Passing the Eagle drug store at
little before IL o'clock, on his
return to town from a visit to a
patient, DIR. Marc Crocker noticed
the awning in front of the drug
store in a blaze and in company
with a taxi driver the twain got 6
bucket of water and dashed on the
flame, subduing but not entirely
extinguishing it. Almost concur
eently Z. II. Brown, a member of
the drug firm, discovered the fire
and hurried forth with fire ex-
,inguisher, d stream of chemicals
from it putting the fire entirely out
80 that no damage, aside from
burning a part of the awning and
making a small crack in one of the
upper corners of the plate glass
window, resulted.
1t is not positively known what
caused the origin of the fire, but
It is thought that it was caused by
cigarette, which had been tossed
INTO the folds of the awning, which
was raised.
Some person turned in the fire
alarm, that brought out the mem
,ers of the fire company, after the
ire had been entirely extinguished
and it is not known whether the
party who turned in the alarm was
merely excited, or took advantage
# the occasion to see with what
expedition the firemen would hustle
ntc their clothes and make the run
Under the circumstances it is
said that the fire company could
not have acquitted itself in a more
highly commendable manner.

5POILSMEN COUNTING THE
CHICKS BEFORE HATCHED

CARSON CITY, Oct. 23.-De-
mands that their services be recog-
nized before election in the shape
of appointments in case the party
IS successful are worrying the
Democratic managers just now. Ac-
cording to reports prediction
pledges are being demanded, and
furthermore, according to the same
report, some OF the faithful are
wrathy because of pledges already
expressed.
The wardenship of the prison is
one of the storm centers. Well
founded rumors have it that Wood
burn and Thatcher, acting for
Scrugham have pledged it to Tom
Pickett, former guard there. Per-
sons who are just as well advised
contend, on the other hand, that
the Democratic machine has pledged
It to Harry Coogan for services
long rendered. Guy Guinan, ac-
cording to his friends, has a right
full claim to the place because of
his service as Democratic chairman
in Ormsby county.
Rufe Henrichs, the present war
den, is to be kicked out, according
to all reports, and the insiders
predict that Coogan has the inside
track for the appointment. Just now
Coogan is employed in the office of
State Controller George Cole and
Cole is the acknowledged political
power at the capitol, with Coogan
as his chief lieutenant.

NEXT GOVERNOR IS
To VISIT WITH Us
Party of Republican Candidates for
State Offices Headed by Next
Governor Will Speak Here
Next Friday Night

The citizens of Winnemucca and
the surrounding country are going
to be given the opportunity to meet
with their next state governor next
Friday night when John H. Miller
makes his appearance here accom-
panied by five other Republican can
didates for state offices in the per-
sons of E. w. Griffith, candidate for
lieutenant governor; Harry H. At
kinson, candidate for attorney gen.
eral; w. B. Alexander, candidate
for secretary of state; F. H. Black
well, candidate for state controller;
and A. j. Stinson, candidate for in
spector of mines.
At every point in the state that
the campaigning party has made its
appearance the candidates have
been greeted by overwhelming
crowds and all of the press reports
indicate that Mr.. Miller's talks have
made a remarkable appeal to the
taxpayers, who are righteously con-
vinced that they are laboring under
a tax burden that has become in
tolerable.
Following the speaking at the
American theatre the crowd is going
all round merry-making at the
assured to those who enjoy tripping
the light fantastic toe. The picture
show is to start at 7:30, with the
speaking to follow. The dance will
be in full swing at 9:45.
Saturday night Mr.. Miller and his
party will make their appearance in
Paradise Valley, where arrange
ments have been perfected for
meeting in the Auditorium hotel at
Paradise, with speeches by the can
didates and dance.
The people of Paradise Valley
have almost vociferously demanded
that the next governor make visit
to them, while in this vicinity, as
they are desirous of seeing the man
and forming his acquaintance, as
they have not the remotest doubt
lingering in their minds relative to
his election to the place of greatest
honor in the state, and they want
the privilege of shaking hands with
the next governor-their most i'm
portant servant.
In conjunction with the speaking
here Manager Oastler has arranged
for the screening of splendid film
to be shown without charge to the
audience; and those having the pro
gram in charge have spared no eff
fort to give to the people highly
enjoyable evening, and one that will
rebound to their profit if they will
but give to Governor Miller the
close attention he so richly de-
serves.
