Looking Back
Over the Campaign.

Looking back over the somewhat ex'
tended city campaign which is now
drawing to a close, The Journal be-
lieves that the supporters Of the White
Primary Democratic candidates have
reason to feel gratif1ed at the clean
campaign which, on their part, has
been conducted.
Speaking for itself, The Journal does
not now recall the utterance of a
single word or expression which any
reputable newspaper should have
cause to regret.
The Journal has accorded to every
person interested in the campaign the
vrivilege OF addressing the public
through The Journals news columns
and for such privilege no charge what
ever has been made to either side.
1t has said no unkind word against
any candidate, nor has it reflected in
any way upon the private character
or the good name of anyone.
The Journal has. It is true, condemn
ed vigorously and boldly, and in words
that could not be misunderstood, GER
tain disreputable methods and those
Who were responsible for them. 1t
has denounced character assassina-
ton, cowardly inuendo, and ambush
assault of every kind. and It still de-
nounces these kind of methods.
But in it all, whatever The Journal
has said has been published boldly
and openly Upon its editorial page.
and has not been sneaked into print
behind an anonymous signature.
The Journal has, in fact, gone upon
the principle that dirty methods do
not pay and that even If they dii no
reputable newspaper can afford to en-.
gage in them.
After the election is over and the
issue decided, The Journal hopes that
the warning elements which have
caused so much turmoil will get to-
gether and exert the same amount OF
energy in a different direction, viz:
that Of pushing Pensacola and making
her the best city on the Mexic Gulf.

Says Welles Administration

A few days ago, In an editorial dis

ing language stated what it consider.
ed the real issue in the present city

This is squarely fight between the

of the Welles administration thought
to score an advantage In prestige and
otherwise by nominating their candi-

This then is the News's understand.

presumed to speak for Mayor welles
In such matters we may ressona bly,
conclude that It also is his under

and Mr. Shine. for several reasons.

upon his own bottom. When il Is in

the person Of Mr.. Shine. the intima-
ton is resented by the friends OF
both these gentlemen.
Yet here the News makes the prac-
teal admission that Mr.. Shine repre-
sents Mayor welles In the matter
and that this is '-squarely fight be-
tween the friends OF Mr.. welles's ad-
ministration and Ns enemies"
