IN FLORIDA’S STATEHOUSE.
OFFICIALS THERE SEEM CONFI
DENT OF NOMINATION.
Til* Hardest Roee Is Between She-at*
uml Mcßenth for Superintendent
of Public Instruction Secretary
of State Crawford Likely to Be
Denominated Attorney General
Lam nr, Too, Seems to Have
AVnlliover—•'Wombwell Has Four
Oppouen t.
Tallahassee, Fla., June 2.—The last
weeks before the meeting of the Demo
cratic State Convention, which will name
the officials who are to administer the af
fairs of this state from January, 1901, to
January. 1905. finds among the present
cabinet officers, all of whom are standing
for re nominal ion, an air of serene confi
dence that their respective candidacies are
In satisfactory shape. Each one seems to
feel victory assurred, though with two
or three of them some uneasiness is mani
fest when one speaks of trades and com
binations and new' opponents. This con
fidence is due partly to the fact that each
of the present officials feels that his rec
ord is clean and safe from attack, and
partly to the fact that the new men Who
have been announced as aspirants for
cabinet positions are not, as a rule, gen
erally known over the state.
At no time has there been any talk of
opposition to Comptroller William H. Rey
nolds or State Treasurer James B. Whit
field. The impression prevails that they
will be renominated by acclamation.and
Chat no other candidate will be mentioned
for either place.
C'rnwford Likely to Win.
Scarcely less certain is it that the aged
and beloved Secretary of State, Dr. John
L. Crawford, will be selected by ihe nom -
tiajing convention for a sixth term. Th r©
has been considerable talk about ihe for
mation of a combination which Leonid re
sult in the nomination of a slate of new
men for all the cabinet officers, except
comptroller end treasurer, and, according
to this alleged scheme, Dr. Crawford is to
tx* displaced this year and Biate Senator
J. H. Troup Bynum, of Suwannee coun
ty. who is a candidate for Secretary of
State, will get the nomination. Very lit
tle stock seems to be taken in this com
bination talk here, and the impression is
strong that Dr. Craw ford—who, lik**
Comptroller Reynolds and Superintendent
of Public Tnstruction Sheats, is a native
of Georgia—will be hf 9 own successor.
The candidacy of Judge James T. Wills,
of Bradford county, for attorney general,
lias been very little heard of for the last
two months, and it is quite generally be
lieved that the present incumbent of that
office, Hon. William B. Lamar, -will have
a walk-over for renoraination. Mr.
mr is an exceedingly popular man with
the masses of Florida Democrats, and this,
together with his excellent record as an
official, has insured him winning support
whenever he has asked for it.
One of the Hardest Fights.
Of all the state officials now seeking
renomination at the Democratic State Con
vention next month, the one who Is meet
ing with the most hitter and most per
sistent opposition, is the superintendent of
public, institution, Hon. William N. Sheats?.
The state press is against Mr. Sheets,
and so also, it is said, are many of the
teachers. Charges almost without num
ber, chiefly of the nature of dictatorlai
ness, have been made and constantly re
peated against him, and a great cry has
arisen to the effect that the interests of
the state schools will be seriously Jeop
ardized unless anew man is selected for
the state superintendency.
The merti of the situation seems to be
that when Mr. Sheats was first elected,*
eight years ago, he found that the school
system of the state needed to be reor
ganized and modernized, and to this work
he proceeded fearlessly. The plans which
he adopted and has consistently followed,
have resulted in vast benefit to the
e -took, but in carrying them out, Mr.
Cheats has probably not been as tactful
nn l politic as he might have been, hence
the antagonisms which have been created
to him.
Mr. Sheats' most prominent opponent is
Prof. Tom F. Mcßeath of Jacksonville,
who is a grammar school principal In
thru city and also editor of the Florida
School Exponent. Mr. Mcßeath is under
stood to have some very influential back
ers, though Just who they are, aside from
the newspapers, has never developed. He
l>as lived in Florida only a few years,
and is not believed to have the support
ot the leaders who have hitherto been
most potent in Florida politics.
It is a sharp, wordy fight between
Messrs. Mcßeath and Sheats. with some
mudslingtng. The contest is slightly more
complicated by the fact that Prof. J. H.
Fulks of Monttcello and Prof. L. \V.
Buchholz of Tampa have announced for
the superintendency. Their candidacies
may assume more importance if Sheats
ond< Mcßeath are found to he anywhere
near equally strong.
Wo in l well’s Opponents.
The only other cabinet office is that of
commissioner of agriculture, the present
Incumbent of which, Hon. Lucius B.
Wombweli, is a candidate for re-election.
There are four other aspirants for this
office: Col. Henry Curtis of Quincy, who
Is well known as the former land com
missioner of the Florida Central and Pe
ninsular Railroad Company; State Sena
tro B. B. McLin of Bake county; Repre
sentative S. T. Overstreet, of Suwan
nee county, and Hon. Sam Robertson of
Washington county. While the outcome
of this contest is In some doubt, owing
to the fact that Messrs. Wbmbwell, Cur
tis and McLin are ( all strong and well
known men, still th'ere Is no excitement
over it. Indeed, Mr, Wombwell’s rivals
•re not displaying much activity. They all
seem to have let their friends announce
♦ hem and then decided to let things drift
and await developments. It is said to be
very probable that If serious opposition
Is to develop to Mr. Wombwell’s renom
inatlon at any lime, it will not be until
the convention gets to work. There Is
no predicting what deals may then be
made.
All indications lead to the bellt* that
Justice Francis B. Carter of the Supreme
Court and Hon. Johil'L. Morgan of the
Railroad Commission will get renorolna
tions without much trouble.
