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-

the territorial governor of Florila.

"Wei do not know what is in
store for Gulf county or any other
county of the nation for 1945. But
it is up to all of us who value the
health and welfare of our children
to prepare now for any eventual-
ity."
The director pointed, out that
were it not for the dimes and dol-
lars contributed by the. people to
previous appeals, thousands of
children who are now recovered
from infantile paralysis might still
be disabled. i :.iri,- r o6f infan-

The combined power of dimes, contributed

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-

FLORIDA HAD BUT
3 CONGRESSMEN
100 YEARS AGO

(Continued from page 1)
as a delegate to the St. Joseph
convention. 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.
