Blount's first public appearance dur

larry. are invited to be present and Nc

without doubt establish as permen-
ent system In Pensacola.
The Journal would be proud to claim
distinction as the originator OF sys
TEN which means SO much to the we.
! fare OF every southern community, but
in this case such distinction would
be entirely misplaced.
The only part which The Journal
has played in the establishment of the
White Primary In Pensacola has been
to advocate its adoption and 10 take
a test vote OF the people to ascertain
their sentiment in the matter.
This test vote was taken by The
Journal at the time OF the bond cleo
ton in July, 1903, and We have rea-
SON to believe that every white citi.
zen who voted on IL cast his ballot in
favor of the White Primary.
Since that time The Journal has al
vocated the White Primary system,
has defended 1t against the assaults
OF those who seek TO prevent its PEI
manent establishment in Pensacola,
and has supported, and is supporting,
the nominees of that Primary for city
offices.
That. is the part The Journal has
played and, though II is not as large
as the Anti-Primary people seem dis
posed to make it, it is a part never
theless in which The Journal now
takes what 1t believes is a certain
amount Of justifable pride.
If the Primary ticket is elected it
will establish on a permanent basis
the Primary System in this city. Good
men, as candidates for Office, will
know that they can submit their
claims to the White voters and have
the issue settled among white men.
II candidate is defeated, he will have
the satisfaction of knowing that it is
done by. White voters. II he is nomi-
mated, he will have the greater salts
faction OF knowing that, backed by
the solid white vote of the city, his
election is certainty.
If the Primary ticket should be de-
feated in Tuesdays election It will
mean the defeat, for years to come, of
the Primary System in Pensacola. 1t
viii mean that this detestabls white
and black political mixture IL to be
Haunted indefinitely in the faces OF
White citizens, and that sooner or
later Negro domination in all its re-
pulsiveness viii be foisted upon us.
These are the conditions which now
confront us-the public on Tuesday
will take its choice. And
The Journals faith in the business
and political sense Of the community
is so great that It has no doubt az to
what that choice viii be.

The Journals Circulation
for the Month Of May.

In accordance with its usual custom
The Journal publishes this morning
its circulation statement for the month
of May just past.
The statement shows that The Jour
nal printed during last month total
OF 119,s10 copies Or an average OF
1901 copies for each day.
This statement shows a falling of
for May OF 80S copies daily from the
April average. which was 1900 copies.
Most newspapers would not print
statement of that kind-ia fact many
newspa pers will not publish any circn-
lat!on statement at all-but The Jour.
nal has maintained from the begin.
ming the policy Of perfect frankness
and honesty with the public and with
its advertisers. and no matter whether
its circulation goes up Or down true
statement is always published
As matter of fact, however, the
drop in The Journals circulation for
May Is easily explained. When the
fleet was in Pensacola during April
the papers printed for the feet aver
aged Sol copies daily. TSis circula-
f!o,n OF course was lost when the feet
sailed away.
The JoCr1al mentioned a few days
ago the fact that its advocacy OF the
White Primary and of the Jim Crow"
law had resulted in sort of an a5or-
tive boycott By the Negroes of Pensa-
cola. This has resulted in the loss
of 147 Negro subscribers.
Therefore The Journals gross cir
culation losses during Nay are rep
resented as follows:
Inc fleet .----......--...-. sol
Negro subscribers .l47
Total losses sos
Less new white subscribers 200
Net loss 1903
Thus 1t will be seen that while the
circulation shows an apparent loss Of
50S copies, the sailing away Of the
feet more than accounts for that loss,
and for the 147 Nssro subscribers who
quit, the names Of 200 white readers
have been added.
There are very few newspapers
which will publish a statement show
ing a decline In circulation, brf the
public is accustomed to look to The
Journal for the truth. In circulation
matters as well as in everything else,
and no matter whether The Journals
circulation goes up or down, a true
statement of its condition may always
be had.

ONLY JUST
FOUND OUT


New York, Oct. 25.-After living "a
years az girl and woman, May Best. who
resides in an exclusive district in Brook
lyn. has been told that she IS a man.

BALDWIN. AND DESHLER DRAW

After IL hard-fought and closely-con-
tested rounds. the bout between Matty
Baldwin OF Charlestown and Dave Desh-
Ter of Cambridge, which took place at
the Douglas club, Chelsea, last night, was
declared a draw.
The fighting at times was OF the hurri-
cane order. and the 500 spectators were
worked UP to a high pitch OF excitement.
Neither boxer attempted any fancy spar
ring. which made the bout all the move
interesting.
In several rounds the boys stood close
TO each other and snapped both rights
and lefts I'm a way that led the specta-
tors TO believe there would be a knock
out any moment. but there was not a
single knockdown during the entire bat
tie. In a few rounds, during the latter
part OF the bout. Baldwin had Deshler
in n bad way. but was himself too tired
TO finish the Cambridge boxer.
In nearly every round Baldwin was the
aggrcssor and his punches had more
steam behind them han those delivered
by Deshler. The latter scored with the
left repeatedly. but his hand was open
and the blows did not seem TO have much
effect. He did some good work with his
right. and no landed many a hard one
on BaldwYn's ribs, kidneys and jaw. He
was never afraid 10 mix II with Baldwin.
which is the latter's long suit. but he in
variably was the first to clinch when they
were engaged in that style OF milling.
Both men were always watching for a
chance 10 bring their rights over on the
Jaw in the hope OF ending the battle. and
though both got II on each other many
times. the blows did not land on the
vulnerable point.
Baldwin paid much attention to Desh-
ler's body. and the wicked rights and
lefts he landed began gradually TO tell
OFF Deshler. In the 18th round IL looked
bad for Deshler. After some hot ex-
changes Baldwin caught Deshler hard
on the Jaw with a right that staggered
him. Baldwin quickly saw his advan-
tage and went after his man hammer and
tongs. He soon tired himself. however,
and Deshler was a bit shaky on his pins
when he went 10 his corner.
