The gubernatorial contest is mov- ing along in quite a ladylike fashion. 3 Attorney General Park Trammell is working hard. W. H. Milton of Marianna has been busy for some time and has chosen John T. G. Crawford as his campaigner. John W. Watson of Miami, has chosen J. Ira Gore, a well known newspaper writer, as his manager. Cromwel!l Gibbons is using lots of newspape® space. There hasn’t been particalar- ly much heard from E. M. Semple of Key West. L'Engle Stirs Things Up. Cain seems about to break loose in the hitherto calm congressman-at large race. Clawde L'Engle is be- ginning to warm up the occasion and is sprinkling a little pepper on rec- ords which he is presenting. Capt. J. Ed O'Brien of Pensacola is his leading opponent. Some Dbelieve L'Engle will win in the first primary. II he doesn’t no one will. If there is a second primary it will be be- tween L’Engle and O'Brien. George C. Martin of Brooksville and Braxton Beacham of Orlando are in this con- test, but is is hardly probable that they will get into the forefront. In the third district Congressman Danitte Mays sems to be having a hard time. Emmett Wilson of Pensa- cola is running against him and seems to have reason to believe that it will be a close shave if the congressman is returned. Down in the first, Con- gressman Sparkman is being attack- ed by Herbert S. Phillips. Mr. Phil- lips is a young man of bright future and very able, but it is hardly prob- able that he will prove himself able te oust the chairman of the rivers ard harbors committee, and Spark-, man’s that, just for a while yet. \ Governor Gilchrist upset the cher-' Ty G Al iy \'\“"“ i (LT T O """ mu”llllllfll Jinnin IIlIIJllHi: the Most Amusing Stories You Have Ever Had the Pleasure of Reading sy Onme.eveofavisitfi'omhisafl-‘mnoedwifemdwhmnnthewwld seems bright and lovely, Harry Swifton suddenly becomes involved in a maze of unfortunate circumstances that threaten to wreck his happiness.
