The First Battle of
A UNIQUE Campaign.


To-day's primary will end the first
battle of the most unique and peculiar
political campaign ever witnessed in
Pensacola.
1t has been unique in that, with but
few exceptions, every candidate has
been running strictly on his own hook,
as it were, and the usual lineup
feature has been empnatically lacking
Bliss has been fighting his, own cam
paign with little if any following
among the candidates themselves,
Avery has been doing the same thing,
and Ingraham, while being nominally
supported by the members of the old
council. has been nearly as much
alone in his race as the others, his
council supporters being more inter
ested in getting themselves reelected
than in saving their mayoralty canii-
dates bacon.
1t has been hard to find any two
men who intended to vote exactly the
same ticket and it is quite likely that
when the ballots are counted tonight
they will be found as varied almost
as the possible combinations of a safe
lock-
Another feature of the campaign has
been the almost utter absence of any
ill-feeling or personal bitterness.
These various features. We think
are all good ones. They indicate that
the voter is getting to be more and
more independent in his thinking and
his voting, and they also demonstrate
that even the candidates them selves
regard the offices as belonging to the
people. who will choose such public
servants TO temporarily occupy them
as in the popular judgment seem best
for the community.
These things are all pleasing TO
contemplate and The Journal feels
that both voters and candidates are to
be congratulated upon what must be
regarded as the most good naturcd
campaign in the history of the city.
