Into the refulgence which for a year haloes the president of the Bar Association stepped Scott Marion Loftin. Shrewd, sage and 55, President Loftin has practiced 35 years before the Florida Bar. He early became attached to the real estate, hotel and railroad interests of the late Henry Morrison Flagler. Since 1925 Mr. Loftin has been vice president and general counsel of the Flagler corporations. His influence spans the full "L" of Florida, from Pensacola where he began to practice law, to Jacksonville where he has his home and headquarters, to Miami where his law partners hold forth. One of his partners, John Patrick Stokes, made Florida the rich man's haven by writing Florida's constitutional amendment which prohibits state income and inheritance taxes.
Despite the fact the U. S. Senate wants to jail William Patterson MacCracken Jr. for contumaciously withholding airmail contracts which the Senate wants to see, the Bar Association last week re-elected Mr. MacCracken secretary. Day after Secretary MacCracken's reelection, lawyers for the Senate appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court to put him in jail.
