Governor Gilchrist was guest OF
honor and the principal speaker at
the annual celebration and picnic OF
the Pensacola Volunteer Veteran
Firemen's Association yesterday. In
his address to the large throng which
had gathered at the picnic grounds,
the governor made appropriate refer
ence and complimentary illusions to
the history of the occasion and the
history of the Veteran Firemen's AS
sociation, expressing warm approval
of the sentiment which prompted
these annual celebrations.
Taking the ground that on such fes-
tive occasions it was well to combine
solid, substantial food with luxpries,
and that the minds as we'll as the
bodies of patriotic citizens craved
nourishment, the governor invited at
tention to two momentous subjects,
upon which members of the merit legis.
lature will be called to vote. Remind
ing his audience that the constitution
makes it the duty of the governor ito
upon which members of the next legis-
lature at each regular session infor-
nation concerning the condition OF
= state and recommend such meas
tr--es as may be deemed expedient,"
the governor expressed his desire to
have the views of the citizens so
crystallized, and expressed that their
representatives will be in position to
faithfully reflect those views when
voting as legislators.
LAWS DEPLORABLE DELAYS.
AS the first of these topics, the gov
ernor spoke earnestly in favor of the
movement of securing a reform in the
procedure of our courts 'of law,
which would materially lessen the de-
plorasble delays in the administration
of civil and criminal law, and greatly
reduce the present practice of de-
Gliding cases upon mere techniealities
which do not reach to the merits of
the case. The governors plea for
relief from the baneful effects of the
present system of Due Process of
Law, which has grown up in the
courts, followed the lines of his To-
cent notable address to the Florida

Tallahassee, May 3.-Upon being
asked for an expression of his views
as to the question which will be voted
on in the primary of May 10th, to de-
termine whether or not a Democratic
state convention shall be called and
held, Attorney General Park Tram
nell said today:
LAS one who has an abiding faith in
the ability of the Democratic voters
of Florida, to we'll and wisely select
their own officers, shall take pleasure
in voting against the proposition to
hold state convention and trust that
those who believe likewise will not fail
to record their ballots against the
convention.
"As the matter presents itself to
me, it Is a question of whether the
people are competent to nominate
their own officers or do we feel that
they are incompetent and think the
wiser plan is to have few men say
who shall find the places of public
trust.
SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE.
SHOULD the government be of the
people or should it be of select few.
If it is to be of the people, then the
commemorative citizens should choose
those upon whom is involved the ad-
ministration of the affairs of state. If
the sovereign people are to play no
part in the affairs of government, save.
the burden of supporting and main
tanning it, then the convention system
which in its operation deprives the
great mass of the voters of their voice
in the selection of their officers sheuids
prevail
"The convention system, as a sys-
TEN, does not possess merit equal to
that Of the primary plan. The past
has demonstrated that any government
is safer in the hands of the many,
than when intrusted to the few. If
there are some evils connected with
the primary, then eradicate them; safe
guard the purity of the ballot but
never deal a death blow to the democ-
racy of the state and say to the sixty
thousand democratic voters, you are
Incapable of nominating your officers,
you have been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. Whatever may be
the purpose of the convention, l see
no necessity for it, and as one of Flor
ida's humble citizens | am unfavorable
to the proposition"

CANNOT DO BUSINESS
IN TENNESSEE AGAIN
BY Associated Press.

Nashville, Tenn, May 3.-Charles
T. Gates, attorney general for Ten
nessee, when asked today what steps
would be taken by the state authori-
ties to eliminate the Standard Oil
Company from Tennessee under the
recent decree of the United States
supreme court in the Galatin case,
replied: I'VE have the decree of the
court and under that decree the
Standard Oil Company is absolutely
forbidden to do any local business in
this state. There is nothing to pre-
vent that company from shipping its
oils into Tennessee, but under the de
cision of the supreme court of the
United States it can carry on no local
business in Tennessee. The decree
of the highest court .of the country
simply enforces itself"
