He has been on the supreme bench for .Jnany years and his luminous de- clsions embodied in the reports of that court have earneq for him the rank of a great jurist in whose learn- ing and probity all the people of Florida have the fullest confidence. And Judge Hocker is more than that. ' He has a rare personality, strong and commanding, combined with a fine native dignity that suggests the men of the era of Washington and Jefferson, and he is big enough in all ways to be on th(_» supreme bench of the United States. 0 MR. ANGLE WANTS TO GO TO CONGRESS A Tampa (liSDdl(’]l in today’s Tele- gram announces that Hon. A. J.

Mr. Angle is well known in Polk county, where for hope that | and | THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA., APRIL 16, Tampa, April 16— Allle J. An- gle, of Tampa, has formally an nounced his candidacy for Congress from the First district to oppose S. M. Sparkman, the present incum- bent. This announcement insures one of the hardest contests ever staged in this district. for all who know Mr. Angle know that he 1s a fighter. Mr. Angle has been one of the most conspicuous figures in Florida politics during the last ten or twelve years, but nearly always ex- erting his efforts for the benefit of some friend. He has never asked for a higher office than representative, to which position he wa elected from Polk county.” He first came into when he managed tne lae B. Broward’'s gubernatorial and sena- torial campaign in Polk county (where Mr. Broward received an {overwhelming majority. He also managed Senator Nathan Bryan's’ campaign in Polk county, where Mr. Bryan polled 1,042 votes out of the 1,387 cast. He was also active for Governor Trammell in Polk and Hillsborough counties. Mr. Angle is an original Wilson man, and was chairman of the na- tional Democratic finance committee for Florida in the presidential cam- paign. He helped to organize and was president of the first Woodrow Wilson club in Florida. Mr. Angle has always been in the fight for the people, his record in the Florida Legislature in 1911 be- ing a conspicuous illustration. He was the author of the memorable An- prominence he formerly resided, and is a man of | gjo convict bill, abolishing the lease character, ability and energy and has |system and putting the convicts on had considerable experience in Flor- ida politics. The field is open to any and all and Mr. Angle hag the same right to run for Congress that any other man has; but ih this instance we don’t’ think that he ought to run and we fee] very sure that he won't be elected. Mr. Sparkman has served the district long and faithfully and by virtue of the experience gerived from that long service, coupled with his ability and fidelity, he is right now at the summit of his usefulness to the country, the party ang his im- mediate comstituents, and to retire him at such a time woulq be an act of monstrous folly. It would be to discharge a long tried and efficient workman at highly skilled labor to put in a new hand who hadn’t even begun to learn the trade. We are not doubting Mr. Angle's capacity, but capacity without experience counts for nothing in Washington, anq he would have to serve many. terms there before he could be of the same use to his constituents that Mr. Sparkman is now, even admit- ting that he has the ability and apti- tude for legislation that the latter has and that all other circumstances should conspire to give him an equal standing in the House of Represen tatives. the roads.

The measure then went through the Senate by a vote of 21 to 7. Governor Gilchrist’s veto and Mr. the bill over the veto is a part of Florida's legislative history. In the house the vote was 43 to 22 favor- ing passing over the governor’s veto, short just one vote. In the fight in the house Speaker Jennings took the floor in opposition to the meas- ure. A large majority of the people of the State were for the measure. Mr. Angle believes the federal government should aid in the con- struction and maintenance of pub- lic roads; that Democrats should suc- ceed Republicans in all offices im- mediately on expiration of their commissions, and pledges to have a suitable man ready in the event he is elected. Mr. Angle announces that he will make a complete personal canvass of the district, making speecheg in ev- ery town in the district. He will conduct a clean, high class cam- paign, but will throw some light on the long record of the present in- cumbent that promises to be inter- esting, at least. The young men of Tampa have or- ganized a young men's Democratic club for the purpose of pushing Mr. Angle”s candidacy for Congress and they would be pleased if the young men of all the towns in the district would organize similar clubs to help Mr. Angle. They believe that this is the time for a young man to go to Congress from this district and it is their aim to make a vigorous fight to that end, and believe they will be successfdl.
