Tallahassee. Fla. Especial. During the
last session of tho Florida Legislature, n
year ago. u strong and almost successful
light was made to pass n Joint resolution
submitting to the voters of the State for rati-
iicatlon or rejection at the general election
to be held next November an amendment TO
tho State Constitution which would remove
the seat of government from Tallahassee to
Jacksonville.
That resolution was defeated, but many of
the people Of Jacksonville have kept alive
tho agitation for capital removal and at the
present time an earnest effort is being made
to have the subject acted upon by the Demo-
cratic State Convention, which will meet In
Jacksonville June 10. The aspirants for
nominations to fiji State offices. and espec-
tally the gubernatorial candidates, are being
lmportuned for IN expression as to whether
they favor or oppose removal.
A resolution will probably be offered in
the State convention declaring II 10 be the
sense of the convention that the next Legis-

amendment. Such resolution will be used
by the champions of Jacksonville to trade
