STATE COMMITTEES ACTS
DECLARED UNDEMOCRATIc

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The acts of the state committee are
undemocratic. The principles of the
party or the government is supposed
to be a government of the people,
for the people, and by the people, and
right on the face of it, the commit
tee without power or authority elimi-
mates the circuit judge and state at
torney from the primary provision.
under the weak plea of taking them
out of politics, and making them ap-
pofnt1ye on the recommendation of a
mere handful of lawyers, known as
the bar, whose biggest interests are
the fee they receive-out of politics
and away from the people, into the
hands of special interests. They are
to submit to the voters to be voted on
an amendment in favor of a conyen-
ton for the purpose of adopting A
platform and nominating all state Off
GERS, step in the direction of dis
reimbursement. As to the platforms.
they do not amount to much. good to
run on. not much to stand on. Etern-
al vigilance is the price of liberty.
Now if the state committee can, right
before your face, without power or
authority, deprive you of your rights
to say who your judges and state at
torneys shall be, what can you look
for or expect from a convention of
one-man power behind closed doors?
If you allow the state committee to
eliminate those two offices from the
primary, in case of a convention
(never) then you would be deprived
of naming any of your officers, but on
principle you would have to vote for
the one-Inan candidate, be he a yell
low dog. As to the graft being one OF
the objections of the primary system,
the money is distributed to many,
while in the convention plan all goes
to one man. the one that carries the
votes in his vest pocket. One COM
mittee undertook to eliminate w. NJ.
Holloway from the ticket after he had
received the nomination at the hands
of the people, but they did not.
1t will be to the interests of the
voters to watch as we'll as pray, and
as to politics, more watching and &C
ton, or you will be eventually depriv-
ed of your right to rule under the
glorious new Democracy.

Chairman Radcliffe
Proposes Remedy.

Yesterday The Journal published an
interview with Chairman F. B. Rad
cliffe of the Escambia county demo-
cratic executive committee in which
he proposed a plan of action by which
the voters may still be permitted to
record their choice for circuit judges
and state attorneys. despite the high
handed and arbitrary action OF the
state committee.
Chairman Radcliffe's plan is, in ef-
feet, that wherever circuit Judge or
state attorney is to be appointed, the
various county committees shall print
the names of candidates on the ballots
used in such counties. Instead of
filing their applications with the state
committee, these candidates can file
their applications with the committees
Of the various counties which compose
the respective judicial circuits and
thereby get their names on the ballots.
This plan appears to The Journal to
be entirely feasible. In some circuits
vacancies will not occur in both offices
and therefore but one office will have
to be provided for. In this, the first
judicial circuit, the state attorney still
holds Office for four more years, ana
the circuit judge is the only one whose
term expires. 4 therefore the candl-
dates for circuit judge will be the only
ones for which the six county commit
tees of the circuit will have to provide.
Those six counties are Escambia,
Santa Rosa, Walton, Washington,
Homes, and Jackson. Unless some un-
forseen objection to the plan develops,
it is safe to say that every committee
in each of those counties will favor
the place and that the names Of can
didates for circuit Judge will go on the
ballot regardless of the attempt Of the
state committee to kill off that part of
the primary.

To the Editor Of the Times: note

END STOMACH
TROUBLE NOW
ALL DISTRESS FROM DYSPEPSIA,
GAS, HEARTBURN OR INDiGEs-
TON is OVERCOME FIVE MIN
UTES AFTER TAKING A LITTLE
DlAPEPSlN.

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of lndi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house hanuy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a
sour, gassy Stomach five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why it makes
Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn
and other distress go in five minutes
and relieves at once such miseries as
Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour,
undigested food, Nausea, Headaches,
Dizziness, Constipation and other
Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an ut-of-order stomach with
the common everyday cures advsr-
tised that they have about made up
their minds that they have something
else wrong, or belleve theirs is a case
Of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh OF
the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stom-
ach poison, which putrefy in the di-
gestive tract and intestines, and, be-
sides, poison the breath with nauseous
odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di-
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, IS
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's' Diapepsin. ***

The health records of London show

From 1851 to 1860 the London death

death rate in so years, due to better

than one chance in 21-2; to be so

If we have reached so, our chances
to reach 40 are nearly II to l, to be
