BOTH SIDES CLAIM
CERTAIN SUCCESS

Both Anti-Saloon League and Local
Option headquarters in Jacksonville
claim the victory in Tuesdays fight
over Statewide prohibition. The con-
test is very close and late returns are
cutting down the wet majority to
four or five hundred votes while Local
Option headquarters assert that the
State will go wet by four thousand.
Preparations are already being made by
the drys to endeavor to throw out the
Duval county vote and if this is done
they will probably be easy winners.
Duval gave the vets majority of
3, 100. While nothing has been done
officially it is well understood that many
charges of fraud can be made in that
county and an effort will be made to
throw out the entire vote.
At Local Option headquarters it is
asserted that the vets will win by 1000.
Anti. Saloon headquarters claim de-
feat for the vets and state that there
are yet four counties and missing pre-
cincts, making up total of over Is, 600
votes yet to hear from, and that while
the vets were in the lead about 2, 900
Wednesday morning, later returns be-
gan to shove the wet majority down
fast and it has gradually shrunken and
is still sliding lower, and will be over

when complete returns are in.

known that the following counties have
adopted the amendment Hilsborough,
Monroe, Marion, Manatee, Alachua,
Polk, DeSoto, Citrus, Osceola. Orange,
Volusia, st. Lucie, Brevard, Dade, Lee,

returns indicate that fully thirty coun-
ties will adopt the amendment.

THE SUPERINTENDENT
ISSUES A STATEMENT

C. l., Collins, State Superintendent
of the Anti.Saloon League issued the
following statement at a o'clock Wed.
nesday afternoon.
''Rumors that have conceded the
defeat of the prohibition amendment,
which are being circulated in Jackson.
vile and elsewhere, are absurd ard alb
solutely without foundation. Instead,
! think the cause of prohibition will
prove victorious, although the count of
the full vote will be necessary to de-
eide the ISSUE
This emphatic statement was made
by C. l.. Collins, manager of the pro-
hibitiOn forces, who further declared
that the lead of the vets is by far
smaller than information received in
Jacksonville indicates.
"We have so far received from re-
liable sources reports of total OF 32,-
900 votes" said Mr.. Collins, 'and our
tabulator gives the ants majority OF
400 in The State. From $4,000 to %:

majority. With two exceptions. every
report. we received this morning was
favorable, and instead of cOnceding

"What are the chances for the cleo
ton to be contested?' Mr.. Collins was
asked. q,

Telephone Line to be Extended

The Tropical Telephone Company are
pushing their line north and by the end
of next month hope to have connec tions
in Cocoa. where Titusville can be
reached through the Brevard telephone
line. The Indian River Telephone Co.,
expect to soon cross the st. Lucie river
to Stuart. where connections will be
made with the West Palm Beach line
which is building to that point. When
both of their extensions have been com
pleted we will have telephone connec-
tons for hundred miles north and south
of Fort Pierce.
This will be of much benefit to the
whole Indian River country.

Florida. His father, John NJ. Bryan,
was native of Florida and at that
time was a farmer in Orange county.
Beginning life on farm, Mr.. Bryan
received an early education in the pub
lie schools at Kissimmee. Following
this he attended Emory college at Ok
ford, Ca, graduating in 1888 with high
honors and receiving degree of A. B.
From Emory college he advanced to
Washington and Lee university at Lex
ington, Va, from which he graduated
in 1895 with the degree of B. l..
Equipped with the education and
knowledge gained in these institutions
Mr.. Bryan went to Jack sonville, at
once beginning the practice of law with
his brother, the late Hon. w, j. Bryan,
who at the time of his death was Un-
tied States Senator from Florida.
Success came to him quickly, and af-
ter period of thirteen years he has
clientage that would be credit to much
older men in much larger field.
While Mr.. Bryan has never before
taken very active personal interest
in politics, he has always been Dem

IS
STILL IN DOUBT
Indications Are That Amendment
VIII Get d Small Majority
ST. LUCE COUNTY DRY
Fort Pierce Gives Majority of 81 For
Prohibition and County Increases the
Total to S0-South Florida Dry

The general election Tuesday in st.
Lucie county passed off quietly at every
precinct, not the least disturbance &C.
curing at any point, but with workers
for and against the amendment for
Statewide prohibition working dligent-
ly at almost every polling place. This
was practically the only issue before
the people, but little interest being
taken in the other two amendments,
and no interest in the success of the
various candidates for public office;
their nom nation in the Democratic
primary being equivalent to election.
The regular Democratic ticket was
only opposed for two Offices, the Social
lists having put up candidates for Rail-
road Commissioners and for Congress-
man from the Second district, and for
the latter Office an independent candi-
date, yet despite the opposition, the
Democratic nominee for congress re-
ceved less than fifty per cent of the
total vote of the Fort Pierce precinct.
The local w. c. T. U.aided the mem
bers of the Anti-Saloon League at the
polls, and they also provided dinner
and lunches for the voters in the din
ing room of the Improvement club hall.
To their labor was also added the
presence of many school children dur
ing the school recesses and the noon
hour, who rendered prohibition songs
and presented banners fittingly iiscrib-
ed to appeal to the better feelings of
the voters.
The day was most active lone for
the prohibition advocates. who used
every endeavor to make good the labor
and sacrifices of the prohibition people
during the campaign to see that every
advantageous vote was brought to the
polls and properly posted to vote right.
and the result was all and more than
the most sangune expected.
Monday morning the Anti-Saloon
League reported to the State Superin-
tendent that Fort Pierce would give a
majority for the amendment OF not less
than 20, and that st. Lucie county would
give majority of not less than 35.
The result of Tuesdays election shows
that the prohibition vote was under
estimated, for Fort Pierce. gave a
majority for the amendment of 81, while
the county raised the total to 80.
Too much can not be said OF the
work that was done at An
kona, Jensen, Vero and Sebastian pre-
cncts, as well as in Fort Pierce. In
these precincts the work was the hard
est. and the result shows that good
work was done. Little Buefelds pre-
,nct came up like man, and takes the
banner for the highest percentage OF
votes.
Despite the fact that one of the vice
,hairmen of the Local Option" COM
nittee resides here, Fort Pierce not
,nly poled larger vote for State wide
,rohibetion than it did for local prohi-
,ition in the last contest, but polled a
smaller vote against the proposition
han in the previous contest, the figures
icing: In 1906 contest, wet 76; dry Ill;

DADE COUNTY GOES
INTO DRY COLUMN

Reports from the various polling
places in Dade county show that an
unusually large vote was cast but ex.
act figures could not be obtained from
the inspectors bringing in the ballot
boxes to the sheriff's Office.
At three O'Clock all the precincts had
been heard from excepting DANA and
Perrine. As most interest conferred in
the outcome of the liquor amendment
and the county commissioners election,
an effort was made to secure authentic
reports of the votes cast in these two
issues.
With total vote (Perrine and Dania)
ballots a near estimate gives $40 votes
for the amendment and Ga against it
and gives the victory to Higgs over
Winfield, by about 80 votes.

CAREER OF SENATORIAL
CANDIDATE SPLENDID

The death of Senator-elect N. b.
Broward has placed the responsibility
noon the people of Florida of electing a
United States Senator to succeed the
lion. James P. Taliaferro, and while
nossibly there will be several candi-
dates for the position, there will be
none who will so ably carry out the
policy of the lamented Broward and be
the champion of the majority OF our
people as will Nathan P. Bryan, of
Jacksonville. Although he is young
man. he has no superior IN Florida tor
ability, for manhood, for honesty, for
love of right and justice, for straight
forward upright manhood. He was
horn and reared near Kissimmee, and
his boyhood was marked by the same
strict adherence to principle and integri..
ty that he has followed as a man. All
who have known him since boyhood are
proud of him; those who have known
him in manhood are proud to call MIN
friend, and in the United States Sen ste
he will reflect credit on our state and
guard its every interest. He is the
man of the hour, and will be elected.
There are few men in Florida who
possess a stronger personally and who
have better standing in their profess
sion than Nathan T. Bryan.
He was reared in Florida and is proud
If his native state, having exerted
every effort to make a reputation that
would be credit to Florida. The fact
that he is now considered one OF the
leading lawyers of the state is sufficient
audience of the success he has attained.
