First Act at Meeting of Con-
gressional Committee at
Capital To-Day
Mays Man Explains
Candidates Position
Says Contest Was Forced
on Mays and That He IS
But Defending Himself.
Prominent Attorneys Re
tanned by Mays for Con-
test.

A contest over the Kehoe-Mays
race for congress is assured The
curtain Will rise on the first act at
meeting of the congressional commit
tee in Tallahassee today, when pro-
tests against the returns from certain
precincts in Leon, Calhoun, washing
ton and Holmes counties Will be en-
tered.
The outcome is a matter of conject-
ure As told in yesterdays Journal,
a prominent PenSacOlian~ pointed out
that irregularities occurred IN Leon
and Calhoun counties, and as soon as
the report that a protest against the
count of those precincts would be
made, the Mays people asserted that
irregularities also occurred in Wash
ington and Holmes counties, which
gave to the Pensacola candidate large
majorities.
AS the case stands this morning
Mays is a winner by two votes. Ii
irregularities are proved to have oe-
CURED in Calhoun and Leon counties
which gave Mays majorities, and the
precincts in which such alleged irreg
ularities occurred are thrown out,
that viii of course, cut down the
Mays vote considerably and possibly
show kehoe to be the nominee, chos-
en- in the second primary of June Is
On the other hand if the Nays PEG
pie Substantiate their assertions that
irregularities occurred in Washington
and Holmes countiess II remains then
question as To (Which one or the can
didates will have the raj srtsr of votes
after such alleged fSsaS uEe.lt votes
are thrown out
That Mays is well prepared for the
contest is attested by the following
telegram from Tallahassee, signed by
by w. w. Carroll, addressed to Frank
l.. Mayes. Mr.. Mayes is out of the
city, but inasmuch as the telegram re
ferred TO the columns of The Journal,
it is published as follows:
Tallahassee, Fla, June "a
Frank L Mayes, Pensacola, Fla.
Your headlines Wednesday say
Mays will probably force a contest.
This is not fair. Mays is, and has
always been, willing TO abide by the
result of a Democratic primary. Ke-
hoe has forced the contest, alleging
irregularities in Mays counties, but
overlooking Irregularities in certain
counties carried by Kehoe. Don't fog
the issue. Mays wins on the official

BIG THING FOR HUTCHINSON.
Town May Have a Condensed Milk
Plant Located There.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 12-"This is
an ideal location for a condensed milk
business" said a man from a southern
Hutchinson. Don't you know that your
farms could be made worth a great
deal more money, if there were more
men who would go into dairyfng, than
is possible in just raising corn?"
He was here at the instance of the
manufacturers to get a location, some
where in the west, for a branch of a
house that is already making condens-
ed milk. He stated that there was a
better opportunity here than at any
other point he had visited and that it
might be possible to do something. He
said he would want the milk from a
couple of thousand or more cows every
day in the year. If a business is start
ed that will require the milk of 1000
or more COWS than are now needed near
Hutchinson, it will make the biggest
land boom Reno county has ever had,
for dairying on a large scale makes the
farming country in which it is carried
on very valuable.
A condensed milk plant. such as the
Illinois man talked about, would en-
ploy several score of men and girls
and the output would be large enough
to make a difference lin the railroad
tonnage AS the concern which is be-
hind this plan is already manufacturer
it is understood that the establishment
of a branch factory is to help in TAX
ing care of the demand for the brand
of condensed milk made.
