The Jacksonville municipal political not

ing prevails The effort of a few poll
uclans to have the matter of conducting
the city election placed in the hands of the
county Democratic committee is meeting
with the disapproval of the people. mas
much as such a proceeding has not a

Madison correspondence of the Morning
News: The whole town turned out on Con-
federate Memorial day in memory of the
Confederate dead, who over thirty years
ago were buried here. A procession of Old
gray haired veterans, hundred or more
flower girls, men and women on foot and
an carriages, led by the Madison band in
full uniform, marched to the place that
marked the resting place of the
heroes, who died for the sost cause. Every
where were hung beautiful wreaths, one
in memory of Winnie Davis, the Daughter
of the Confederacy, and one in honor of
Mrs Elizabeth Harris, hospital matron in
the Western army, and for whom the U.
d. c. chapter here was named.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The removal
of the capital TO Jacksonville is meeting
with much favor and is a favorite topic
of conversation. At the Windsor last
night, Chester l.. Waldock, a commercial
tourist said: THE capital at. this city
means greatGieal to the city, and will
add much interest to Jacksonville l was
in Tallahassee Yesterday and the citizens
there are considerably worked up over the
matter. The capitol building in Florida
is the worst in the union, and if they don't
remove il they should surely rebuild.
talked with large number of the repre-
sentatives, and the impression prevails
that the effort toward removal will pass
both houses. Tallahassee has some very
clever people in it, and on their account
l would hate to see the thing changed,
but there is no question but what it would
be a great thing for Jacksonville"
ocala Star: 1t is. very evident that
Jacksonville has capital on the brain, ana
if gray matter and metallic matter are
of any avail with the legislature of Flor
ida in removing prejudice from the minds
of some, we expect to vote in the state
election ofi909 on the removal of the capt.
tai from Tallahassee to the metropolis Of
the state-Jacksonville. In the language
of DR.. L,Engle, 1T will take money" so
the enterprislng, do-something Board OF
Trade of Jacksonville met and resolved
that $4,000 be offered as a bid for the said
removal. OF course. the Star favors
Ocala, the Brick City, for the state caDi-
tai, but we know that when it comes 10
siding up 10 Jacksonville in material to
back our claim, 1--WE amt in it," so if
there is to be a removal. and we believe
the time is about ripe for it. let it be 20
Jacksonville. and when 1t comes TO re-
movai and a state capitol building, let it
be worthy of the state of Florida.
