The Third District Needs
Smithwick In Congress
Until the time expired in which new can
didates might enter and qualify in the
.Third congressional district race, The
Journal did not think it proper to declare
tself in favor of any one of the candidates.
Four well known men seek to fill the of
J ike soon to be vacated by Emmett Wilson,
representative from the Third district of
i Florida J. H. Smithwick, J. Walter Ke
V hoe, Jefferson D. Stephens and Y. L. Wat
f son. The Tournal has watched the political
I and private careers of these candidates ; it
introduced a bill (Senate Bill No. 30o)
which provided for pensions from $100.00
to $150.00 per annum, for veterans, ana
$120.00 for widows, lessened the length of
residence required, and took away the
property limit of $800.00, prescribed by the
statute then in force.
This bill passed the House of Represen
tatives unanimously.
Senator Hudson was one out of three
members of the senate who voted against
it. His vote is recorded on page 1161, of
the Senate Tournal of 1907. The Journal
doe: not show any effort whatever, on his
part, to even amend the bill; just a straight
vote against it. In 1906, the year before
this bill became a law, the State paid its
pen sioners only $283,969.15. In 1908, the
first year after this bill became a law, this
amount increased to $605,328.44. These
figures are from the printed reports of the
late comptroller, Hon. A. C. Groom.
Senator Hudson tells us that he was
"reared under the traditions of the Old
South," and that he is "imbued with the
progressive policies of the New South."
Vhich does the Senator think he repre
sented in 1907, when he voted against the
bill for the benefit of the old soldiers and
sailors of the Confederacy and their
widows the Old South or the New?

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Referring to your article on naval
aviation in today's paper, will you
allow me to make an explanation re
garding the paragraph , in which you
quote me as Baying that the reason
for the present comparative back
wardness of aviation in the navy ia
on account of "the niggardly policy
followed by congress m the past"
This is not exactly accurate.
think that what I said was, that this
condition is due to lack of congress
ional appropriations in the past. You
could hardly call this "niggardly.
since no appropriation was asked for
that purpose, and refused, so far as
I know. It would hardly be fair to
blame congress for not making ap
propriations which were not recom
mended by the department. The
blame must lie mainly against prev
ious secretaries of the navy, and ner-
naps against some of their advisers,
who failed to appreciate the import
ance of the aeronautic branch of the
service. '
It is not remarkable that private
capital has shown so little interest
in building efficient hydroaeroplane
motors, when there wa3 no market in
sight to make necessary expenditures
profitable. Heretofore the attention
paidb y the navy to aeronautics was
not such as to encourage any mam
f acturer to spend much money for hy
droaeroplane experiments, hence it is
necessary that such amounts be now
appropriated as will enable the navy
to conduct adequate experiments for
itself, and will give to private man
ufacturers a prospect for sales suffl
cient to justify the experiment and
expenditure necessary for the produc
tion of efficient motors.

I was a member of the Senate com
mittee on Pensions in 1913, and helped
to pass the existing pension law which
is the most liberal we have ever had.
Since 1905, I have stood as the friend
of. the pensioner and have had a part
in all of the legislation which makes it
possible for Florida's debt of gratitude
to be paid promptly, and more liberal

MRS. FREDERICK GILLMUKE
AND PARTY HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE WHEN CAR CRASHES
INTO POLE.
A sliehtly damaged car and a shat
tered telephone pole, were the only
serious results of an accident in which
several persons miraculously escaped
death yesterday afternoon, when Mrs.
Frederick Gillmore, who was driving
a new Buick, ran into a telephone
pole on the corner of Spring and
Jackson streets. With the exception
of Mrs. Gillmore, the occupants of
the car, Mrs. S. J. Gonzalez, Sister,
Nellie, and Frederick Gillmore, Jr.,
were thrown from tha car by the
terrific force of the blow.
Mrs. Gillmore was going north on
Spring street wKen she saw a car ap
proaching from Jackson street, driv
en by Dr. W. L. Andress, and in at
tempting to take a short cut to avoid
what she thought might be a collis
ion, the car crashed into the tele
phone pole, completely shattering the
pole.
No one was injured, further than a
severe shaking up, and several small
abrasions of the skin, and shortly aft
erwards, Mrs. Gillmore and party
continued their sharply interrupted
ride. Mrs. Gillmore stated last night
that D. Andress was in no way to
blame for the accident.
