POLITICAL
OvERcoNFIDENCE

TRENDS estimates, based on
reports from this or that
district. may or may not turn
auf go be true. The silent
vote" i what causes upsets.
W. Raleigh Petteway, in
1895. had a plurality of 3d.
NU IN the race for the
Democratic nomination for
governor. and in the second
primary. Fred Cone, a small
glme banker. practically un-
kHswn In south Florida
- received Ia votes i'm Mon
fue county in the first pri-
mary - who barely edged
aaf Homestead Bill" Hold
yes tor second place, de-
tested Petteway in the run
Oft
Oh the first primary this
month. Petteway carried 60
uf the SO counties, and
Barns came back in the
second primary to win the
nemlnati0n for supre m e
court Justice.
We have heard it said a
good many times that that
u the way with primaries:
the funner-up in the first
primary wins i'm the second.
sai that Is not so. Holland
led IN the first primary in
1890. and won i'm the runoff;
Caldwell led In the first in
t0Aa. and won i'm the sec
and III this months pri-
mafies. Wilbur King for
railroad commissioner led in
the first and won by a large
majority IN the second.
Second primaries seem to
he petteway's buga boo.
Judging from information
received by The Citizen
from various parts of the
state. opinion was general
that be would be the victor
FOE the supreme court JUS
ileeship, bat the silent
vote" decided otherwise.
We don't know what was
Petleway's attitude during
TIE time between the first
and second primaries, but
we do know that overcon-
fldenee has lost many a
political race. The most
outstanding case of that
kAa N Key West was when
Geurre Babeock ran for city
tax assessor against Eugene
Aihury. During the cam
kalen, you could have walk
M Kew West from end to
end and probably would
naf have found one man or
a6man who thought Bah
cock had a chance to win.
Hui Albury was Overcon-
fident; he did very little
campaigning and even jOk-
81 about his opposition, but
when the ballots were count
"a Albury was shocked to
learn that he had been de-
leated.
Finally, we heard a great
deal Of talk between the
first and second primaries
about the ease" with which
James A. Franklin would
win the Democratic nomina-
llon for state senator. 1t was
pointed out he had carried
all four counties i'm the first
primary, and overconfi-
dence bubhled among some
q his local supporters. And
what happened? Franklin
squeezed in by a majority of
lie.
OveFconfidence has been
the downfall of many a
an dtdate for political
office.
