The election returns indicate that
Broward leads Congressman Davis
for governor by about 300 votes. Mr..
Broward has made a remarkable run.
due to several causes which were
published in the Metropolis last Sat
uPday.
There is to be another battle royal
between these gentlemen, and it will
be a fierce one. Bob Davis would
rather be defeated II thousand times
for governor than win in mud sling
ing contest. He wants nothing but a
manly fight, and on his own merits
and not the dement's of his opponent
he expects win.
Napoleon b. Broward's race has
been remarkable one. Those who
have studied the situation and who
know the force behind it attribute
his phenomenal run not so much to
his personality, record or statesman.
ship but to the management of his
campaign, which was altogether in
the hands of William J. Bryan, a
gifted, brainy young lawyer of Jack
sOnville. Young Bryan was tireless
in his efforts for Broward. He han
died the situatian admirably, while
Davis had no headquarters and no
management. Davis friends were
entirely too overconfident.
The friends of the Congressman,
however, now intend to take care of
his interests. Mr.. Davis is not able
to make the campaign that Broward
did, but his friends all over Florida
will look after their respective coun-
ties, making Il clean fight for clean
man, realizing the danger of mud
singing and only desiring the tri-
umph of a man whose record in con-
gress merits promotion.-Jackson-

Davis friends thought him safe
and left him single-handed and alone
to battle with shrewd and schem-
ing politician who was backed by the
state administration and those who
favored state dispensary.
His friends advised him to ignore
the serious charges made because it
would only advertise Broward.n
On the other hand, Congressman
Davis for some time remained in
Washington attending to his duties,
while his chief opponent was busy
with an army of workers flooding the
state with his map and other litera-
ture.
Other friends of Davis We're tied
hands and feet in other contests, but
now they are free to act. 1t is the
general opinion they can easily elect
him in the second primary with
systematic organization. They say
his opponent may do the mud-sling-
ing act, but Congressman Davis
friends must see to it that the wrong
impression now created regarding
State lands is removed. They can
be removed by bringing before the
voters the true ts.-Jacksonyille

asked today who will be named per-
manent chairman.
II haven't the renaotest idea was as
mine or anybody's. 7 suppose the
whole slate will be agreed upon when
the executive committee meets at st.
Louis next Saturday.
The same answer was made by
Congressman Cowherd of Missouri,
chairman Of the congressional CAM
paign committee, before he left for
st. Louis last Saturday.
It is understood the executive COM
mittee purposely postponed action on
the convention slate until a few days
before the convention. The members
Of the committee feared that fight
might be precipitated by the radicals
If a pronounced conservative were
named for permanent chairman, and
that the conservatives would oppose
the naming Of a radical or Bryan
democrat. 1t was their hope that the
situation might be simplifed In the
time between their last meeting and
the next, which would permit the or
ganization of the convention In an
orderly manner without bringing on
a fight between the radicals and con-
servatives on that question.

THE SMOOT CASE.

And it is altogether likely that Mr.. Smoot will

1t is fortunate that the Constitution lodges in
both houses of Congress plenary power with re-

OUR LITTLE NAVY.

During the last six years." proclaimed
an impassioned speaker in Congress the
other day. I'VE have added more to our
fleet than have either France or Ger
many" The speaker went on to say that
since the country has less reason than any
other to fear war, we should not increase
our navy faster than other countries do.
This argument is about as logical as any
which are made by the advocates of a
little navy for the United States.
The speakers conclusion does not follow
his premises: but, even if it did, it would
be invalid. because the premises them
selves are utterly false. During the last
six years our navy has been exceeded in
additions by Great Britain. France, Russia,
Germany and Japan. We exceeded some
of these countries last year. but even that
did not bring up the average. The addi-
tions were published in the Washington
Times the other day. as follows: Great
Britain has added 64lOO0 tons to her fleet
since 1898; France. 21S.OOO tons; Russia, 16O,-
600 tons; Japan. $4,000 tons. and the United
States, 117,00O tons. Last years increase
was made because it was absolutely neces-
sary to keep up with the procession-and
for that 1t was not large enough
But all this is aside from the question
The United States needs a navy Just
strong enough to defend herself from
attack. Is it strong enough to repulse
the attack of a first-class power? Certainly,
no other power would dare attempt it
Spain has showed the little nations what
would happen TO them in such a case. To
defend the United States means to defend
an immense line of seacoast, mighty COM
merce and far-lying insular possessions
The advocates of the little navy do not
wish even that much OF a fleet. They
make fiery speeches about spending the
peoples money on empty demonstrations
of pomp and glory-as If il were for show
that an adequate navy is desired. 1t Is not
argued that this country must keep pace
with others in naval construction merely
as a matter of pride in comparison OF fig
ures; but we certainly must keep pace with
others as a matter of protection.
The same persons who indulge In THIS
oratory against empty show are the ones
who on other occasions bid this country
beware OF entangling alliances. In this
latter plea, they are right, but inconsistent.

THE REFERENDUM.

In discussing the prospective coal strike
yesterday the Journal pointed out that
there was still a chance and some hope of
averting the strike which the rejection by
the miners of the compromise offered by
the operators seemed designed to precipi
tate. 1t said: IF the committee should de-
eide to leave the question to a referendum
vote. the local unions, or a majority of
them, might see the matter in the same
light in which it appears to the leaders and
wisest heads of the organization" The
committee has done that, accompanied with
a recommendation that the compromise be
accepted.
There is strong reason to believe that this
action will result i'm the acceptance of the
compromise which was rejected on Satur-
day. The referendum itself is an appeal
from a comparatively few delegates who
had been living for several days in an at
mosphere of excitement and many of whom
were under instructions to stand pat and
vote against any compromise, to the great
body of miners. These will approach the
subject from a new point of view and with
perhaps better grasp of the points in
volved than the delegates at the conference.
They will be in a more judicial frame of
mind and better able to weigh the dfsas-
trous consequences of a strike based on so
small a difference. 1t is believed they will
be more disposed to heed the advice of
their leaders than the delegates were. The
interval before the vote will give the lead
ers time 90 impress their views and advice
on the miners, and they will improve it.
Finally, there are indications that many of
those who voted TO reject the compromise
are frightened by the possible consequences
of their action and would undo it if they
could.
The referendum is a true democratic and
American way of settling the question. The
miners in their individual capacity are
higher authority than their delegates and
ought to be possessed of more wisdom. The
Journal is of opinion that the committee
made a great mistake in rejecting the COM
promise and hopes that the referendum will
result in a reversal of this action.

Electricity Direct from Coal.

In recent issue of Electricity there appeared
an article taken from one of the daily papers
describing invention for generating electrici-
ity direct from fuel. The inventor a resident
of Newark, N j., is elated, he deems his
invention perfected. This problem of obtaining
power direct from coal and doing away with
expensive and cumbrous machinery. is one that
inventors and scientists the world over have
been for years endeavorings to solve. Whoever
accomplishes it successfully and designs an
apparatus that is practical will be the means
of notwithstanding the existing methods of gem
Grating motive power. But unless this Newark
genius has finally hit upon the proper conbina-
ton of elements the problem is far from solved.
Therropiles have been brought out in the past
for which great things were hoped and which
80 all appearances accomplished striking results
in small way. When, however. more was re-
quired of them than the operation of an electric
fan doorbell. fatal defects made their ap-
pearance. The internal resistance was too great
and the alloys made of became oxidized
The Newark inventor claims that the efficiency
of his apparatus, which he calls a dyneIectron
is IS per cent compared to SO per cent. when
electric current is generated by means Of the
steam engine. 1t is to be hoped that the dyneIec-
iron will be able to accomplish what the steam
engine and dynamo does not but until
such is actually proven to DE the case we are
inclined 10 be rather skeptical of the ability of
this new device.-Omaha Bee.

Acoustics and Heat.

At present the phenomena of physics are, as
II were divided into two camps: acoustics and
heat, which are explained from the laws OF
mechanics; and electricity, with its subdivis-
ion, light which has not been satisfactorily thus
explained. For half century We have tried to
explain electricity mechanically. and may be
said to have failed; let us now try to explain
mechanics electrically, and where that will
lead
Perhaps ii is a matter of words, whether
say that all matter is electrically charged
or that all matter is modified electricity. But it
may lead to the most far-reaching conclusions
if. in explaining phenomena, the laws of cleo
tricity should be taken the premises from
which We start instead of, as hitherto, the in
ertia OF matter. And. inasmuch the more
nearly any explanation approaches the truth,
the better does it point the way to fresh knowl-
edge, the fact that radical change may be
about to take place is of the reasons why
there is feeling Of expectancy in the air. 1t
is hoped that light may be thrown upon UNIVERSAL
gravitation and other obscure problems, and it
is suspected that science is trembling on the
verge of something great.-Nneteenth Century.
