The quick disposition of the desper- ate negro yesterday who had Killed his white employer, and who was shot by the sheriff while attempting (o evade arrest, is only one of many instances which show that John Lo- gan is the man of all men for the dangerous and responsible position he holds. Absolutely cool and self- possessed at all times, extremely slow to resort to any measure of harshness to enforce the law, he has the judgment to decide when such a measure is necessary and the nerve and bravery to execute it.

But 1 want to cail your attention to the presentment of the grand jury for the April term of Circuit’ Coust of Record for Polk county. The graad jury last October'also made the samc recommendation, and now there ca: !be no furher doubt that the Legisla- ture will establish this court at their next session in April, 1913, which s next spring. As is provided by law, they will have to at the same time abolish the c¢riminal jurisdiction of the County Court and discontinue th: office of prosecuting attorney for which I am a candidate. The incum- bent at that time will therefore ex- pect to succeed by appointment ‘from the governor to the newly created of- fice as prosecutor for the new Crimi nal Court of Record, which office will le called county solicitor. The jurisdiction of the new court will be much greater than that of the Ccunty Court, zand will try all criminal cases which are now tried by the Circuic Court, except those prrishable by death. It will try mur- der in the secound degree, manslaugh- ter, assault witi intent to murder, all felonies as well as all misdemean- ¢1s now tryable Lv the County Coust, wiuch will grear'y increase the vol- rectors by giving the people the right to pass on any measure or by sug- gesting any measure or by withdraw- irg a member of the board of direc- ters if there should be cause for so doing.

For those with eyes to see and ears to hear there is presented today perhaps plainer than ever before in the history ot the country the meth- ods by which Wa!ll street controls our government. In President Taft and certain of his nomination they have what they want in the Republican party, a candidate who is friendly to their interests. But in the Demo- cratic party they are not so safe. Woodrow Wilson is the man <1 all others they do not want and with the people he is the most popular candidate before the country, Any- thing to defeat Wilson is the cry of Wall street. In Florida they will rin Underwood against him, hoping It in all Florida there is a man better [that Underwood being a citizen of u fitted to protect the moral interests|neighboring State, will poll enough ume of work as well as the responsi- bility, and will necessarily require a.t able, experienced anc skilled jaw- yer, that the State may Le represen:- co hy as good talert a: the derend- ants will have. I invite a close investigation of my qualifications to held this office ana a compariscn with that of each candidate, Having practiced law in Polk coun- ty for many years, during which time | have formed the pleasant ac- quaintance of all the jurors which have served on our juries, and, hav- ing practiced in all the courts of the State, including the Supreme Court, and, having served as city attorney of Lakeland and Fort Meade for three terms under three administra- tions satisfactorily, also for the town of Auburndale, I believe that. I am fitted to discharge the duties of this important office and of the one yet to be created. If elected 1 shall de- vote my entire time to the office and always be found in my office attend- ing to its duties. 1 will protect the interests of institutions in each sec- tion of the county alike.

This paper has for years advocated, in season and out, the abolition of the convict lease system and the em- ployment of the convicts in the con- struction of goods roads. This plaa i3 practical; it is in operation in other States, and has been proven a success; it does not conflict with fre» labor; it will build up all sections of the State; it provides healthfui outdoor employment for the convicts; it will result in sure, lasting and substantial benefits to all the people of the State. Park Trammel advo- cates the plan, and the people of the State will stamp their unqualiflnd' approval of it on the 30th of this menth by rolling up a magnificent majority for Park Trammell for gOv- ernor. This paper docs not preach sec- tionalism, but, other things being vqual, it feels that the man nearest aome is entitled to preference. When, added to this geographical considera- tion, the man in question is best suited for the position he seeks, the South Florida candidate should be unanimously supported.
