sition chosen under constitutional au-
thority by the various state legisla-
lures.
Those who have studied the matter
declare that the only solution is a re-
assembling of the members to pass
the same resolution that prevailed
two years ago. and which was omitted
on last Tuesday.
The mistake was easily made, as all
the members present believed the call
was for the purpose of arranging Tor
the primaries which are to settle the
United States senatorial contest. The
campaign committee might arrange
for the names of the candidates on
the ballot, but the call as now issued
gives them no such authority.
The question, aside from party obi
cation, would consequently be, How
would many partisan senators and rep
reSentatives view the matter if they
should not participate in the primary
and declare that the campaign cotknit-
tee exceeded the party's official call
and had no authority to include such
candidates."
The problem in some political cir
Giles is considered very important
one, and just what will be done will
be determined within the next few
days"

Some Things That
Ought To Be Done.

We know that the board OF public
works Ia unusually busy and is doing
a great deal of good work for the city,
but we want to call its attention to
two particular needs.
One is the need of cleaning up Gads-
den street and the other the need of
reconstructing most of the Intenden-
cha street sidewalks between Palafox
and Tarragona streets.
In the latter case, the walks project
over into the street at the Palafox
street entrance to Intendencia and will
have to be cut down on a line with the
In other places the walks are torn up
and in the worst possible condition
while in still others, posts stand in
the middle of the walks and seriously
interfere with travel. This work
ought to be done at once.
Gadsden street should be cleaned up
as fast as force of men and the
patent street sweeper can do it. The
pond at the intersection of Gadsden
street and Eighth avenue should also
be drained and we are glad that the
board has taken that up with the city
council. After every rain this pond
fills up and stays full for days and
the water is also increased there by
the flow from the organ water motor
at the Gadsden street church. This
water can easily be diverted to the
sewer, but there is no means for the
rainfall to be carried off except
through a drain that has not yet been
provided
These things ought all to be looked
up at once and The Journal hopes
they will be.

STARVED MAN
AND LUNATIC
WERE THE SAME
STRANGER WHO WAS FORclsLY
BROUGHT TO THIS PLACE WAS
MAN WHO ESCAPED FROM THE
ASYLUM AND WAS CAPTURED.

Arthur Dixon, the young white man
detained by Deputy Sheriff Brewton
for lunaoy, and who was later identi-
fed as the insane man who escaped
from the insane asylum, was the
same man who was brought over in
to this section of the state in an
empty freight car and who almost
starved to death before he was found
1t was reported that he had been four
or five days without food.
AS told in these columns at the
time, Dixon was taken from the car
too weak to walk, at GouIding. The
city placed the patrol wagon at the
county's service and had the man
taken to the poor house: where he
was given good treatment, but at
that place there was no suspicion of
who the stranger was. as he was very
quiet. At the first opportunity, after
being cared for and fed we'll, ne
made his escape and caught a north
bound passenger train. He was rid
ing in this manner when the deputy
saw and arrested him.
To ekeper Jackson. who came for
him from Chattahoochee, Dixon told
an expected incoherent story. He said
that he had stolen into a car on the
other side of the state and had in
tended going to New Orleans after
he had slept a while. He told the
keeper further that he grew frighten-
ed when he found out the car was
moving and found that he was in
the dark. He said further that he
could find nothing to eat, and did not
have any from the time he entered
the car until the wagon placed him
at the county farm.
Tracing the route of the car, it was
found that it came from Live Oak to
Pensacola, and that it was two days
getting over here. At every point
where the train stopped, the impris-
oned man would endeavor to attract
attention by beating on the walls and
calling loudly. This had not the de-
sired effect, and it was not until the
car was opened at GOulding was the
discovery made that a man was i'm
prisoned therein.
Reward money for his capture has
been placed with Chief Sanders, but
it will be turned-ever to Deputy Brew
ton, who captured young Dixon, upon
demand fthat officer.

PRIMARY CALL
IS DEFECTIVE
DOES NOT INCLUDE PROVISION
FOR NOMINATING UNITED
STATES SENATOR-COMMITTEE
COPIED CALL MADE TWO YEARS
AGO WHEN THERE WAS NO
SENATORIAL ELECTION.

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
The failure of the Democratic state
executive committee. in including can
didates for the United States senate
in the official call issued last Tuesday,
is explained by an examination of the
calls issued at other meetings of the
committee since 1894.
In that year there were candidates
for the United States senate, and chm
didates for the United States senator"
We're included therein.
Two years later $1,000 there were
no candidates for this position, as It
was an off year." but the committee
copied the previous call, scratching
out candidates for the United States
senator"
Again, in 1908, the committee met
and issued a call. but as Fletcher,
Broward, Lamar and Beard were then
candidates for the senatorship, this
office had to be included.
Following the usual custom, how
ever, the committee copied the call of
the previous contest and used the
wording utilized in 1906, which con-
tanned no mention of the candidate for
the senate. This, however, was rectl-
fled and the call amended by reso-
luton which included the aspirants for
this position. This resolution, of
course, brought these candidates INFO
this primary.
Failure Last Tuesday.
When the committee met last Tues
day, following the usual custom, the
wording Of the previous call 0908)
was used, but the members failed to
pass the resolution which added the
candidates for the United States SEN
ate, and consequently they are not in
cluded in the official call issued for
the primaries to be held In May and

The call this year only refers to
state and county candidates and to car
