RANEY SAYS BRYAN
SHOULD NOT RUN

Calling attention to a specific con-
stitutional provision that would pre-
clude the candidacy of William Jen-
nings Bryan for the United States
Senate at the coming election, and cit
ing the very possible serious results
if Mr.. Bryan should make the race,
win the election and precipitate a
contest in the United States Senate
itself, George P. Raney, chairman of
the state democratic executive COM
mittee, and son of the late Justice
George P. Raney, in a communication
to the Tribune, quoting the article and
section of the state constitution, de-
plores the activity of those who desire
to bring Mr.. Bryan into the race. The
letter from Raney follows:
Tampa, Fla, March 81, 1922.
editor Tribune: The present dis
cussion as to whether or not Mr.. W.
]. Bryan should become a candidate
for the democratic nomination for the
! United States senatorship from Flor
ida in the approaching primary cleo
ton makes it very pertinent to bear
in mind the provisions of Section 20,
of Article 16, of the Constitution of
the state of Florida, which reads as
follows:
"'The governor and every state Off
cial are hereby prohibited from Civ
ing certificates of election Or other
credentials to any person as having
been elected to the House of Represen-
tatives of the United States Congress,
or the United States Senate, who has
not been five years citizen of the
state and ten years a citizen of the
United States and a qualified voter
''It is not even claimed that Mr.
Bryan has been citizen of the state
of Florida for five years. Doubtless
the same sound judgment and sense
of propriety which prompted the
. trainers of the constitution of Florida
to place this provision in the consti-
tuition of our state actuated Mr.. Bryan

ecutive committee, at Jacksonville, t.

this statement was made by Mr.. Bry
t an in perfect sincerity and reflected
l his deliberate and considered judg
: ment. While it may be that there arr
some advocates of Mr. Bryan's can
! didacy so ardent as to lead them t.
the contention that the constitution O
the state of Florida is 'unconstitution

q of the United States provides tina

elections, returns and qualifications O

Mr.. Bryan and the republican candi
date from Florida in the general cleo
ton; and we know from past expert
ence and observation what may be ex
pected in the event of such a contest
: From the standpoint of the democrat
ic party it appears to me that there il
much more wisdom in the words O.

efforts of some OF our politicians, fl
nanciers and business men to induce
him to enter upon a contest which
might lead to the unhappy result
above indicated. Geo. P. Raney."
Tampa Tribune, March 81.
In an article printed about three
weeks ago, the Star set forth the same
objections to Bryan's candidacy that
are made by Mr.. Raney, and in not
very far from the same lnguage.
George Raney is frst-class law
yer, a staunch democrat and an up
right and fearless man. A few years
ago, the democrats of the state disre-
garded his advice, and the result
was-Catts. And Cats at least wait
ed until he was eligible before he an
nounced himself a candidate.
If Bryan becomes a candidate he
will break the law-he will do what
Southern democrats have for scores
of years denounced as the worst OF
political crimes-set aside state con.
stitution-and all who ask him to be-
come a candidate will share in his de-
! linquency.
