THE MOVEMENT IN FLORIDA
Recent Voting in Democratic Primary of
Slight Significance

Editor of THE NATIONAL PRoHIBr1oNIsr:-
Owing to the fact that that candidate for gov
ernor who espoused the cause of the submission
of the question of Prohibition to the people of
the state before the Democratic primaries was de-
feated, the whisky party shouting themselves
hoarse, but the fact that Prohibition played but
little part in the defeat The candidate was not
agreeable to the Flagler interests and to numerous
other corporations and they hid behind the liquor
men and shouted ''sc EN-, Tige," and spent what
they had to contribute to defeat Mr.. Stockton,
who was the candidate for whom the temperance
people desired the nomination. 1t was COM
bination and not the question of Prohibition which
defeated him. In many parts of the state the
temperance people triumphed gloriously electing
members of the legislature and others on distinct
ly Prohibition issues
The question of Prohibition is not dead in
Florida but is one of the Invest and most virie
of any before the people and will show itself
when the opportunity comes to give expression
at the ballot box. 1855 JOHN P COFFIN,

TENNESSEE IN DOUBT
Party Machine and Traffic's Doodle Count
Small Majority for Anti Prohibition
lists in Democratic Primary

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 2S-(Specal CORE
spondence) -4esterday the question of Prohibi-
ton indirectly voted upon by a large part
of the people of this state in the Democratic
primaries The choice for candidate for governor
lay between ex-senator Carmacll and Governor
Patterson, Mr.. Carmack standing upon a Pro
hibition platform and Mr. Patterson under the
banner of the so-called local option raying
the liquor interests of the state in a desperate
fight to hold the narrow field which they still
occupy
The whole machinery of the Democratic party
in the state was of course, under the control
of Governor Patterson and used by the liquor
interests, and an enormous corruption fund,
raised not alone by the liquor dealers of the
whisky cities of the state but by the liquor in
terests of the whole country, was at the dis
posal of the Patterson heelers. At the present
time the result is in doubt. Upon the face OF
the returns, Governor Patterson seems to have
a majority, but the charges of fraud and unfair
ness are so numerous that it will require an of
fetal count and probably hearing before the
courts to definitely settle what has been the out
come of the primary.
The election from many parts of the state
attended by most spectacular scenes friends of
Prohibition forming in parades, and holding
ing the polling places with banners and songs.

We celebrate today century of victory. No
other reform in the worlds history has made such
magnificent progress. The change in the attitude
of the public mind, in the industrial, scientific,
ligous and political world, toward the drink
traffic, is the mightiest moral achievement in hui
man history.
Much is said about our industrial revolution,
and the age of iron steam electricity and speed,
and the marvellous transformation in methods of
locomotion, transportation, communication and
illumination; but greater than the change from
oil to electricity, from hand made to machinery,
from horse power to steam, and from the mule
cart to the locomotive, is this moral revolution
of the last half century that has put the brand of
perditon upon the traffic of Intoxicating drinks.
made social outcast of the who made it,
made it disreputable to sell it, unmanly to drink
it, and I'm Christian to vote for it.
For hundred years the emphasis of the
temperance reform has been placed upon total
abstinence. We have preached it in the Sunday
school, in the public school, the rail and in
the factory, and the world has caught up with the
total abstinence principle. The corporation, the
railroad, the bank, the barkeeper's union, and the
breweries are enforcing that rule while on duty,
and the church of God must move up and take
higher ground. That is where the world stands
