BELIEVES IN LEAVING
PRIMARY SYSTEM ALONE
Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
| | notice in Sundays issue there is
an effort being made to abandon the
/ primary election system, or rather, to
/ return to the old convention plan OF
nominating candidates for the various
offices.
While I have never figured as a
politician, I have been familiar with
the politics of Escambia county since
long before we routed the carpet
baggers and scallawags from official
supremacy in Florida. When this de
testable crowd packed their grips and
left, we fell into the hands of the
old ring" political crowd. They soon
became nearly as Objectionable as the
others.
was very often a delegate to these
nominating conventions, and as soon
as the delegates began to arrive on
the ground some 2X4 ringSters would
come around and show US the slate
already made out by the ring. and
probably tell us next time We are go
ing to give you all first choice Of a
legislative candidate or whatever you
want, but we never got any of the
Doodle until they roped in such men
as they knew would do their bidding
1t has been said, and with some
truth, too, that one man carried the
politics of the county in his vest
pocket Anyway, he could name the
candidates.
This in time came to be as objec-
tiOnahle as the carpet-baggers. From
the political unrest of the people IN
der the reign of the ring bosses event
ually came the primary.
While the primary plan OF nominal
ing candidates has some features that
are not entirely satisfactory to a large
portion of the voters, it is so much
better than the convention plan that
I am compelled to believe nobody Is
dissatisfied but the old ring, and the
best thing for the people is to keep
them on a back seat. If the next
legislature would eliminate some OF
the Objectionable features of our
primary system and throw some more
safeguards around it, it would be ali

As to taking the members Of our

The Central Bank Problem
A Real Live Wire.

1t is no wonder that a recent dis

'misIed" or something of the sort
when he made or was quoted as hav-

that he favored a central bank. The
peril of taking sides in the cOntTo-

advisers and for the present. at least,
formal executive endorsement of the
scheme will be withheld.
That the principal advocates of the
rehabilitation of the United States bank
are Aldrich and his gang of public plum
dereTs who have deceived the people
and foisted upon them the most bur
densOme tariff ever adopted should in
itself arouse a suspicion and an oppo-
sitiOn to the measure strong enough
to prevent its serious consideration by
congress. The president is probably
more alive to the fact than any other
American citizen. But when, in addi-
ton to this, it is as certain as any
political problem can be that the
South will oppose the plan on general
principles; that the West will never

of commerce and labor to President
Taft for the position of supervising

counties of Northumberland, Colum-

This position commands about three

From the office of the supervisor will

MORE SAND NEEDED.

The sand hauled ON the driveway of
the river bridge has not been frank
failure; neither has it been wholly a
success.
That it served good purpose in
preventing horses from slipping dur
ing the two or three rains that have
occurred since it was placed on the
bridge no one will deny, but at the
same time the experiment has proven
that sand ON the creo-resinated blocks
is an unstable thing, apt to be blown
away by the wind.
When the last rain occurred about
one-half of the drive way was practic-
ally bare and persons in crossing the
bridge were not able at all times to
avail themselves of the protection af-.
forded by the sand What the wind
left undone the last rain accomplished
and from one end of the bridge TO the
other the sand now forms muddy de
posit washed down near the eastern
sidewalk
The experiment has shown that sand
is a pretty good thing to keep horses
from slipping but that it requires some
labor to keep it ON the right spot. If
the wet deposit of sand We're now
shoveled back over the driveway it
might serve very useful purpose dur
ing a month or so. Now that freezing
weather is nearly due the efficiency of
the sand might be materially increased
if it were reinforced with some
other gritty material. A few wagon
loads would suffice to give the slip
perry blocks a safe coating that
might remain all winter
