papers are already advocating conven-
tons, and Mr. Gilchrist is we'll known to
favor conventions.
Many voters there are already express
ing regret that they voted for Mr.. Gil
christ before, and are now actively at
work for Mr.. Stockton.
I believe that fully one-fourth of those
who voted for Mr.. Gilchrist in Jackson
vile will now vote for Mr.. Stockton, be-
cause Of the means used in his interest.
The church people in Jacksonville will be
unanimously against Mr.. Gilchrist next
time, as a rebuke for the methods used.

Montbrook Fla, May 80, 1908.
To the Editor Times-Democrat, Bron-
son, Fla:
Could the honest, fair-minded Demo
Gratis of Levy county be in Jacksonville
and learn the facts as to how the primary
was run there May 10, they would all
vote one way at the next primary
The supporters of all candidates agree
there has never before since reconstruc-
brazen corruption resorted to by the sup
porters Of the railroadxcandidates
Many people lay it to the saloon in
f1uence in that city, where SO many whis-
key men have recently located from
Georgia, but I believe that the railroads
exercised much more influence than the
Saloons
The returns show that in the last pri-
mary Mr.. Gilchrist received more than
one-fourth of his entire state vote in Du-
val and Hlllboro counties, and that out
side of Jacksonville and Tampa, where
the corporation and saloon votes are con-
centrated, and where corrupt influences
are so powerful, Mr.. Stockton received
more votes than Mr.. Gilchrist.
Are the Democratic voters of Florida
going to stand idly by and see Jackson
vile and Tampa dominate Florida poll
tics?
Mr.. Flagler's Florida East Coast Rail
road openly instructed their employees to
vote for Mr.. Gilchrist and other candi-
dates favorable to them, and actually fit
ted up headquarters in Jacksonville
where employees were expected to report
and receive instructions and dummy bal
lots.
, These employees were instructed to
trade their votes for local candidates to
get as many votes as possible for Mr..
Gilchrist for Governor
The A. c. L. Ry. also sent out re
quests to their employees to vote for Mr..
Gilchrist. Other railroads did the same.
Nobody in Jacksonville denies that Mr..
Gilchrist is the corporation candidate,
and even his supporters state this as
fact, and some of them say that the at
tempt to prevent the railroads from
charging what they please for freight and
passengers is as wrong as to say farmer
should not charge more for their pro-
duce than the consumer wants to pay.
There is also a concerted effort to do
away with the primary system.

Democratic Senators who would not help
La Toilette kill the Aldrich bill wanted
it to pass, although they spoke and voted
against it.
Had A1drich needed few Democratic
votes, he could have got them.
La Toilette, the Republican, stood
alone in his magnificent constancy and
honesty of opposition to the bill. Had
the Democratic Senators wanted the
measure talked to death, it never could
have become a law.

WILL RESEED THE RANGES.

The government has planned a
series of scientific reseeding ex-
periments on the national forest
ranges this spring and next sum
mer to determine under what con.
ditions and in what manner these
portions of the range that have
been seriously damaged by over
grazing may be restored to their
former productiveness.
A great deal of the range land in
the west is overgrazed and does not
carry as much stock as formerly.
The method of handling stock, par.
ticularly sheep, is perhaps more
responsible for this condition than
any other cause. But all causes of
deterioration and all means for i'm
proving the forage crop need to be
studied, that the range may be
brought into the best condition to
meet the imperative demands OF
livestock industry.
The plan is to establish expert
mental stations in several parts of
the country. Probably not more
than six will be tried at first, but
they will be so located as to secure
typical conditions. The expert
ments will be begun on SIN all
scale, on five or six acre tracts.
Both native and wild grasses will
be tried, but it is believed that the
plan of encouraging native grasses
will meet with greater success than
the introduction of cultivated spe.
cies, at least in the Rocky Noun.
tain region. In the coast ranges,
with their greater rainfall, cultivat.
ed grasses are more likely to play
