St. Joe Sharks Play Carrabelle Tonight Whig opponent, Benjamin A. Put- nam. The first general assembly that met in Tallahassee th.e fol- lowing June elected David Levy and James Diament Westcott to the U. S. senate. Because Levy pre- ferred the senate to the house, he accepted the former before he had the opportunity of serving in the house of representatives. David Levy, who later took his old- family name of Yulee, was a native of St. Thomas Island, West Indies. He, came to Florida as a youth with his father, .but was sent to school in Virginia. He, later worked on one of his father's plan- tations at Micanopy, Florida, anna studied law at St. Augustine un- der Robert A. Reid who became the territorial governor of Florila. After he was admitted to the bar in 1836 Levy's political star as- tion on the following schedule: Monday-9:30 to 11:45 a. m., white school childreil; 1:30 to 4 p. m., colored school children; 4 to 5 p. m., colored children 10 years or over not attending school, and their mothers andl sisters.

Like that small stone, a little dime dropped into. a March of Dimes container, be- comes, a powerful weapon of destruction against another giant enemy infantile par- alysis. The combined power of dimes, contributed each year by the 'American people to the March of Dimes, in celebration of the presi- dent's birthday, makes it possible for every infantile paralysis victim, regardless of age: race, creed or color, to receive the best medi- cal care available. All over the country in areas invaded by infantile paralysis last sum- mer this money was on hand to provide early medical care which may mean the difference between a life of crippling or normal recovery These modest dimes are now bearing inter- est far beyond financial calculation.

A correspondent -or the Pensacola Gazette In 1845 de- clared: ""Westcott rules the state as despotically as the autocrat of Russia rules his dominions." Even David Levy, the. correspondent de- clared, wa sa puppett in Wesctt's hands. Levy's elevation to the senate by the general assembly necessi- tated a special election for Flor- ida's representative to congress. Two popular Tallahassee lawyer- planters' appealed to the people in the election held October 6, 1845. Thirty days later the returns' re- ceived by the secretary of state In Tallahassee gave. Edward Carring- ton Cabell a majority of 51 votes. The apparent election of Cabell, a Whig, shocked the .self-compla- centt Democrats who had carried the state by a tremendous' ma- jority' in the previous election. Cabell's popularity accounted in part for his success. Many Flor- Idians, may &have voted against the Democratic candidate, William A; Brockenbrough, in' resentment against .Levy's "failure to accept a seat in the house. Whatever the reason for his. good fortune, Ca- bell received the certification of election from the secretary of state. . :Senators Levy and Westcott and Representative Cabell took their respective places in the 29th con- gress on Decemiber 1, 1845. Flor- ida's first senators held their of- ficest until thd end of their terms, Sbut Cabell's place was soon con- tested by Brockenbrough. Late election returns, those 'ru- brought the representative from Florida. Brockenbrough took his place in th house of representa- tives'ron Januar:, 214. 1946. Florida's first congressmen weru able legislators. None of them were natives of the state they' repie- sented, for Florida was young in population. Like the state, these congressmen were young in years. The oldest, Westoott, was only 43, and the youngest, Cabell, was barely 29. Senator David Levy Yulee made the greatest political reputation of the four. Cabelh, who replaced. Brockenibrough in 18,47 and was re-elected again and again, was. perhaps second only to Yulee.
