Some of these | members have been on the Board tpf | Commissioners for years. and success was again assured this time had not l the investigation come about. J. c. Avery, Jr. one of Pensacola 5 | rising young attorneys. and Charles H. Bliss, whose writings have attracted much attention, will represent Escam- bia County in the next Legislature. These two gentlemen were opposed by J. J. Sullivan, Jr., another lawyer. and Rev. J. T. Fillingim, a Baptist preacher. The latter made some of the best speeches of the campaign, and the re- suits as appertaining to himself were surprising.
 great disappointment was encoun- tered by more than 200 who had voted at each and every election within the past few years. These men had failed to pay their poll taxes for the year 1903, and of course that slip of the memory disqualified them. That year was an "off-year" in Florida politics. and the question of paying did not enter into the minds of any of them When scores were thus disqualified they immediately betook themselves to the office of the tax collector to find out about the matter. The situation was explained, and then there were diff ferent ways of accepting the situation Some wanted to fight. others threw out insinuations of unfair treatment, while others only 'grinned and beared it." as one of the disappointed ones expressed himself

l Pensacola, Fla, May 11.-(Special.)--- | It required an all-night count on tho part of the inspectors and clerks to reach the result of the first primary in sthe city, but the county precincts being very small, were finished an hour after
 the polls had closed. This enabled the l returns to be sent the city and bulle- | tined during the night.
 The election of VanPelt for Sheriff was conceded early this morning. His majority over D'Alemberte. his oppo- | nent, ran into the hundreds. and this
 majority Is said to have been rolled up only because of the charges which had been brought against the sheriff and his subordinates only few days l before the election. No amount of ex- planation would have Van Pelt men believe otherwise but that D'Alemberte had something to do with the inquiry.
 It can be stated on the highest author ity, however, that DAlemberte was very much against the investigation on the eve of election.

 nouncement of the result.
 Indications tonight also point to the nomination of Hon. Robert w. Davis for the Governorsf1p on the first nomina- ton This was surprising, from the fact that the gentleman is just retiring from a service of four years as a Con gressman. and the charge was made through the campaign that 1t did not look right to step down from national office to the Governorship. Before election, Hon. D. H, Mays was consid cred the favorite in this section of the State.
 The feeling of the Escambia Coun- ty public toward the sheriff was amply testified in the vote given the Board of County Commissioners who had charge of the investigation into the charges. Commissioner William Sem mott was the only member returned, the others. who were thought to be ex- tremely forward in the investigation having been repudiated at the polls.
