AT DAVIS HONE.

Compare the foregoing with the
record of the ballots IN Mr. Davis
home county
The total vote of Putnam was 90
Of which Davis received 80, more
than 81 per cent of the total county
vote, and BIG more than majority:
while IN the entire county Broward
got only eighty-hye votes. DAVIS
carried every one Of the twenty
seven precincts by large miorltlties
receiving every vote cast for Cover
nor In SIX of the precincts, including
his own, while Broward got votes IN
only fifteen precincts
The inevitable deduction from the
foregoing is. that Mr.. Broward has
received his largest vote in those 10
calities in the State where he is least
known and his smallest vote IN the
county and precinct where he lives
and is best known, while Mr. DAVIS
The Daytona gazette=news. (Daytona, Fla.) 1901-1922, 1904-05-28

Compare the Vote Received By Davis
sad Broward u Their Respec-
tive h0me cOonejes.

The fact that Mr. Broward re-
ceived a few more votes in the State
at large than were cast for Mr.. Davis
"a pitlfal plurality Of 227 in vote
of Al al, or about one-half of per
cent.-has been seized upon by
Mr. Broward's supporters as the
leading-and apparently the onl y-
argument in favor of his nomination
in the second Primary \ brief ex-
animation Of the official returns will
discover the real value of such an
argument
Bruward's vote III the entire State
was very small fraction over ~
per cent. of the entire vote, while
Davis vote was within quite as
small a fraction of 9i per cent. of
the whole "a difference in Broward's
favor of about one half of | per cent
Broward leads" To be sure, but
scarcely enough to justify very
much of the Dragging his friends
are doing in his behalf.
Broward got small maJorities In
five small counties, viz: Calhoun,
Lafayette, Liberty, Monroe and Tay-
Tor. Davis got large malorities in
five big counties. viz: Dade, Duval
Putnam, st. Johns and Volusia. The
sum of Browards majorities was
247; the sum of Davis majorites
was $50,
There's lead" for you
Broward secured pluralities over
Davis in twenty-four counties; Davis
got pluralities over Broward in
twenty counties, and in one the vote
was tie between them. These four
little pluralities in excess of the
number given to Davis constitute
about all that Broward's friends can
really afford to boast of
But after all, the real test of lit
ness as between the two candidates,
must be found in the votes cast in
their respective counties and pre-
cincts, and the official returns show
conclusively how each is regarded
by his friends, neighbors and fell
lowcitizens where he is best known,
in his own home.
