Thre Ocala Star suggests the transplanting of the trune for that purpose, but unless the traditions and associations went with it, it might be degraded to its first humble estate of ‘“nigger” song and dance Senator Bryan got a rude and un. expected jolt when Perry Wall, of | Tampa, announced himself for the Senate to succeed the former; how. ever, the Senator lost no time in say - ing that he is a candidate for re- election. Mr, Wall comes as the Music. lonc_expected ‘‘business man” in politics, and undoubtedly such a man, handicapped by no office-hold - ing record and the mistakes and, enemies that go with it has a pe. culijar advantage, if he is strong in his personality, that will make his candidacy formjdable. The Tampa and St. Petersburg papers speak in terms of unqualified praise of Mr. Wall, and among his other advan-| tages is that of smooth and force. ful oratory which is still a very, strong factor in our politics and de. | tesmines many a man’s vote. It is' too early for the State press gen- erally to align {tself on this sena. torial issue and nobody will worry, about it at present except Senator Nathan G.
