A Word of Thanks to
The Successful Promoters.

The success of the tri-county fair
has reached beyond expectation and
those on whom fell the burden of the
undertaking deserve the thanks and
| the praise of all the people of Pensa-
cola and of the three counties for
whose benefit it was held. Its sue
| cess has been so marked that it war
| ants the conclusion that it will be re-
peated every year in the future and
| become a regular annual feature in the
history of West Florida.
The fair was first determined upon
bv the Merchants association, Of Pen
sacola, whose action was at once and
ably seconded by the Chamber OF
Commerce, the two bodies afteTwaTd
working together tremendously.
There was wisdom shown in the Sc
lection of those Immediately intTusted
with the business of the undertaking.
R w. Storrs had had former eXpe-
rience of work of like character in
the West Florida fair held at De
Funiak and fully justified. as manager
of the tri-cOunty fair, the trust placed
in him by the association. To him
more than to any other individual
must be ascribed the success Of the
fair.
But the service rendered by John E.
StiIlman, president of the association,
by c. W. Lamar, its treasurer, by Ben
H. Thomas, its secretary, by n. J. Lii
lard, the chairman of its advertising
committee and vice-president for Els
Gambia county, by Frank Settler, vice
president for Baldwin county, and by
c. II. Simpson, vice-president for Santa
Rosa county, deserves conspicuous
recognition. 1t was a most important
service, performed unselfishly and for
the good of the section. 1t is pleasing
to know that the three counties own
as citizens men who as members of
the association and its officers were
willing to sacrifice their personal in
terests for the general good.

the number OF hook worm patients in

seems to be little room to doubt,

JUDGE REEVES CORRECTS
A MISUNDERST
Tampa Tribune.


The Tribune is in receipt of the fol
lowing letter from Judge l.. J. Reeves
of Pensacola, candidate for the United
States senate:
Editor Tampa Tribune: l notice in
the two daily papers here clippings
from your editorial columns contain
ing the following statement:
Hon. w A. Blount of Pensacola,
candidate for the United States sen
ate, has replied TO the open letter of
Hon. j. l.. Reeves, the other West
Florida candidate for that Office, and
has declined, politely but firmly, to &C
cept his opponents proposition that
they enter q special primary in the
West Florida counties to determine
the choice of the Democrats of that
section for the SJandard-beaTer in the
race, the losing man to withdraw from
the contest and support the winner
There was no suggestion in my
proposition to support the winner Il
was not my object to commit the los
ing man, had the proposition been &C
cepted, to support the winner, but it
was my purpose, if possible, to elimi-
nate the weaker man and this was the
only question involved in my PROPOSE
ton. The question as to whom the
loser should support was untouched.
That question was left entirely to his
judgment. No fault can be found
with the fair exercise Of the privilege
you have of boosting, disparaging or
cTiticising, but you must agree with
me that l should not be represented
as making a proposition which l never
made. l would appreciate it il you
would give this communication IN its
entirety the same CONSPICUOUS place
in your columns as that in which ap-
peared the editorial referred to. II
might also be of interest to your read
ers if you would copy my rejoinder 10

The pecuIiarities of the unique style
of primary proposed by Judge Reeves

that the loser was not to consider
himself bound to support the winner.
Under such condition, it was anything
but a Democratic proposition. That
a man should enter such a primary
and not be under any obligation 10

absurd piece Of business. The refusal
of Mr.. Blount to 90 into it is not sur
