Mr.. Kehoe's Proposition
For Settlement.


The letter Of J. Walter Kehoe to
Dannitte II. Mays, contesting candl-
dates for congress, which The Journal
publishes elsewhere in this paper to-
day. is one that should and will appeal
to every fair-minded man.
On the face of the returns Mays
leads Kehoe by two votes. 1t is claim
ed. however, that certain Mays pre-
cincts cast more votes than there
were qualified electors in those pre-
clncts. Mays on the other hand claims
that certain Kehoe precincts did the
same thing One claim therefore.
stands against the other and each
having the same value we are no
nearer settlement than before.
Mr.. Kehoe now proposes to Mr.
Mays that they unite in an effort to
locate such precincts. no matter
where they exist, and to cast out any
illegal votes that may be shown to
have been cast in them.
The proposition is an eminently
fair and Just one and Mr.. Mays, fair
man that he is, cannot help but ac-
rept 1t. Neither ne nor Mr.. Kehoe
wants to be elected by illegal votes
and il is the duty of each to see, so
far as he is able. that no illegal votes
are allowed TO determine the election.
Kehoe's proposition is in the interest
of c4ean. fair and legal elections and
IL appeals to every legal elector With
as much force as it does to either of
the contestants for the nomination
AS a matter of fact, the legal vot-
ers of the district are themselves
more Interested even than are either
Mr.. Mays or Mr.. Kehoe. Every one
who qualities himself as voter is
interested in seeing that his vote is
protected. He is interested in seeing
that the man who has not qualified
Is not permitted to come in and multi
fy his vote by casting an Illegal bal
lot. He is interested in seeing that
the purity of the ballot is made Sc.
cnre. He is interested in seeing that
honest methods, and honest methods
only, are employed in the selection
OF his public servants.
The perpetuity of the government
and of the freedom of its citizens de,
ponds on these things The primary
election law in Florida depends on
them.
AS friend of the primary and OF
honest elections, Mr.. Kehoe's proposi
ton is one which will appeal to Mr.
Mays, who is also friend of the pri
r nary and of honest elections, and we
expect TO see him concur in 1t fully
1t is fair and it will result. If adopted

FRED MOORE IS
= BADLY INJURED
BOY, PLAYING IN
THREEI LEAGUE, SPIKED IN
THE BAcK-ITEMS OF INTER
EST ABOUT NAVY YARD, FORTS
AND WARRINGTON PEOPLE.

Friends of Fred Moore, another
Warrington young man who is making
a record for himself On the national
baseball diamond, have received word
from the big short stop this week to
the effect that the has been seriously
injured in a game played in Decatur,
Ill. Moore, whose back is injured,
finds himself in a bad condition as a
result of an attempt to slide bases.
In some manner member of the OPP
posing team stepped on him, and the
Three-l league will lose one of its
most prominent members for at least
two or three weeks. Moore, whose
residence has been in Warrington for
many years, has his wife and chill
dren with him this season, and it is
anticipated by some that he and his
wife will return to Warrington for a
short time, at least if his injuries
prove sufficiently serious. Jas. Laird,
Florida's other well known baseball
man, is still at his home in Warning
ton with an injured arm, and will
probably not complete his season with
the McKeesport people.

buoy Andree had expected to drop
when passing the pole. A year later
the last message from him was re-
ceived. This was a note found in a
bottled numbered "143" In spite of all
the searches that have been made for
him since that time. nothing positive
has been revealed as to his fate.

man on March 3, 1908. and disappear

FRANKIE got a letter from Cook in
structing him to return to New York
II he month of June. When DIR. Cook
did not put in an appearance at the
time speci flied FRANKIE started ON the
return to civilization. and before he
reached Ii he had to endure the great
est hardships. He and the Eskimos
sleep huddled together under their
overturned boat at night. as they had
no fire He was afflicted with rheu-
natism and scurvy and became so i'll
that he could scarcely move. At last
he finished his journey and was picked
up by Peary's steamer Erik. which ON
Its return southwark brought him to
Newfoundland.
The return of FRANKIE with papers
from the explorer to Mrs. Cook gave
to return during the summer. and his
nonappearance has caused anxiety
among his friends. The world had be-
gun to forget about Andree and to
take 1t for granted that his arctic trip
in balloon, begun on July IL, 1897,
had ended disastrously. like so many
other polar enterprises. The finding of
supposed grave of Andree recently
by Captain Chalker of the American
schooner Pelops seemed at first to con-
firm this belief. but the evidence that
the grave is that of Andree is not con-
elusive.
Andree set sail in his balloon with
two companions. and no traces of the
latter were found In the vicinity of the
grave discovered by Captain Chalkers.
Over this grave was cross, and he
deciphered the name Andree from the

had died on that deserted coast and
