A SENSIBLE REMINDER FROM FRANK L. MAYES Frank L. Mayes, editor of the Pensacola Journal, who has been mentioned geveral times more than any other m:n as a candidate for governor, replies to these many com- plimeitary reierences and offers of support in such a sensible, practical, ! pointed way that we give his reply in full as taken from the Journal of Sunday. Mr. Mayes pertinently re- calls the fact which seems to have escaped mort of us, that it will be nearly three years before the pri- maries to nominate a candidate for governer. This being true, it seems bardly less than absurd that the matter should be persistently, earn- | estly and elatorately discussed as though the selection of such a candi- date was an issue right up to the people of Florida to be determined and we didn’t have any time to spare in doinr 0. Mr. Mayes’ letter will strengthen the general opinions that he is ex. cellent timber for covernor, but he is entirely right to decline making any definite announcement on the subject in view of the three years crowded with changing and un- known conditions and history that Basn’t hapsened between now and the date of the nomination. His Journal article is as follows: “No man could be ingensible to the very great compliment contained in the serions suggestion of his name for hizh oflice, and the editor of the Journal is not lacking in apprecia. tion of the altocether too generous comment which the State press has made concerning him. On the other han?, no man, unless he be inde- pendently rich or exceedingly over- ambitions could nearly three three years ahead cive definite assurance that he would be a candidate for so fmportant an office. The guberna- torial primary will not be held for almost three years, Governor Tram- mell’s suecessor will not enter office for more than three years. Condi- tions chanee rapidly. The man who mizht be recarded as a logical candi- date today might, either by his own acts and expressions or by changing circumetances, be entirely eliminated from consideration in much less than three years. “Florida has hundreds of men, any one of whom would make a good governor. The discussion of these men and cf the policies involved in the selection of a governor is proper and pertinent at all times. Ii fact, such discussion is extremely desir. able and the columns of the Jour- nal are at all times open to it. €0 many elements and conditions are involved in a campaign for governor that we imagine no individual in the State counld this far ahead defi- nitely announce that he would make the campaion. “The editor of tbe Journal has no over-woe ambition to hold of- fice. 1le realizes his own limita- tions as probably no one else real- {zes them. He may never be a can. didate for public office. At the same time he does not care to give bond | him to be a progressive thinker, ' sufficient width to completely cover that he will not at some time be a candidate. Tn the meantime the State press should continue its dis- cussion of all available men and when the time to make the campaign arrives there is no doubt that some man will be located who will be ac- <eptable to the great masses of peo- ple of the State. But there is plenty of time to find him.” —_————— ganization had begun its work in the A POLK COUNTY ‘Tinterest of simplified government. | " w CALL TO KANSAS | Those who have seen fit to call Edi- Rev. E. P. Michener, formerly of Lakeland and now living at Sebring, pear here, has a long letter about Florida in a recent number of the Daily Call, published at Beloit, Kan., &is former home. from which we take the following: . “If any of my friends want to write for information about this part _ | vited to be present to witness the But | wife, of Lakeland, old schoolmate friends of ours, are to be best man and bridesmaid at the céremony, and | our district superintendent, Rev., R. | A.

N. C. Stockton to suc- { ceed him in the United States Sen. | ate: “I have seen Mr. Stockton’s an- nouncement. It is somewhat surpris- ing that where a man has worked ! as hard as I have here and attended to his public duties with the dili- gence | have bestowed giving prac- tically all my time continuously since March, 1909, that it should be proposed to deny him the customary ! second term. It is inconceivable to | me that the people should be called fon to keep me here merely because 1 desire to continue this service, or to send a man here to take my place | simply because he wants to come. "The people should be, and I believe will be, controlled by the considera- tion of the question, ‘Who is in a position to render them the highest and best service. 1 shall endeavor to see that they have a fair chance to decide that question by giving them all the light on it T can. At present 1 do not feel called on to make a further statement.” i —-e-0— We are not certain that Frank, up in Atlanta, under sentence i of death for the murder of Mary ! Phagan, is guilty, although after a fair trial the jury pronounced him so and he probably is. But, guilty or not, if Mr. Frank is a public- spirited citizen of the noble, self- sacrificing type, he might make a great hit with the people of this country, to say nothing of posterity, | if he would go cheerfully to the gal- : lows as a salutary and terrifying ex- (ample to the army of murderers now devastating the State of Georgia at their leisure and steadily reduc _ing the population with no fear of the law in their eyes. The example of a rich white man, backed by a| “mlonh‘d corps of well.paid lm\'yors,‘ actually hanged for murder just| | like he was common clay, might have !:1 fine deterrent effect upon the nu- merous Georgia murderers \\'orkln:.:J overtime at their trade, and it is| worth trying if Mr. Frank is will- ing to waive his rights in the prem- ises and furnish the example. It's a fine ehance for the young mun to figure in history with high credit to himself, and as he is bound to die i sooner or later anyway, without any credit for heroism or martyrdom, if be is made of the stuff that is truly great he will earn the gratitude of Leo | provide for bis family!

Do you remember how it was in the good old times you prate about? If so, hold your peace, and come over to the swelling ranks of optimism. MRy LR !

But we trust that all offensive personalities and Governor Gilchrist’s poetry will be rigidly excluded from the con-l troversy. ke in that coin.
