sive social queens viewed the running.
1t must be said in favor of the man
agement that there was little or no
rowdyism present, no intoXicants are
sold on the grounds, and good order
is kept On the other hand the crowd
in the betting ring was largely made
up of young men and not few boys
who were here getting a taste of this
sort of excitement and regularly part
ing with their money, mostly in small
sums, most of the bets placed being
from one to five dollars, and just as
regularly the book-makers were
getting the long end of it. 1t was
stated that the track owners were OPP
Grating the two books and the highest
odds quoted at any time was six to
one. Under ordinary circumstances i
is bad enough for any one to try to
win against this game, but they do
lave a chance to guess at which hors
has been fixed to win, at least a pre-
tense of an even chance, but not
there which is really that much the
better for those who wish to part with
their money can do so more quickly
and so lose less time from their bust
ness, and there is without question
the worst crowd of touts hanging
around to assist the unsophisticated in
going broke than We ever saw on any
race track. The management have
stated that they would not be allowed
| but they are there and no effort is
made to prevent them plying their
| trade.
Taking the sentiments as expressed
| by the business men we talked with
concerning it and what we saw at the
track we venture the guess that this
experiment will wind up for a long
time that sort of diversion in Pcnsa-
cola.-DeFuniak Breeze.

EDITOR sToRRs ON THE> I
PENSACOLA RACES 4


The editor was in Pensacola last
Thursday, and improved the oppor-
tunity to visit the races and see at
first hand just what the races were
doing for Pensacola, the information
obtained from numerous business men
down town being to the effect that
the good effects on business had not
shown up except in a few instances,
while on the other hand there was a
demoralizing influence.
The track is located something like
fifteen minutes ride on the cars from
the down town district. The crowd
was about 1900, maybe little more,
and of these fully one half were ladies,
it being ladies' day and that sex were
admitted free. There was a long line
of autos and from these and the re-
served seats many of the most exclu-

VOX POPULI.
ENFORCE LAW REGARDING
PAYMENT POLL TAKE
Editor Pensacola Journal

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Our attention was called to the sub
ject of poll taxes by the article in yes
terday's Journal containing the alleged
letter from Mr.. J. P Holt to Mr.. w.
H. Price, in which he spoke of money
to be used for buying poll taxes If
it is against the law for one person
to pay poll tax for another, how can
those men pay in bulk for others
Why cannot, the law be enforced in
this matter?
Any man that can not pay his own
poll tax ought to blush with shame to
allow another man to pay it for him.
We hear so much about personal
liberty" He sells his liberty when he
allows it. He ought TO feel free to
cast his vote as he pleases. We hope
the good men of this state will see
that this law is enforced.

The Alleged
Holt-Price Letter .

NJ. d. Price, of Miami, friend Of
Pleasant A. Holt of Jacksonville, who
is alleged to have written letter,
and brother of W. H. Price of Mari
anna, chairman of the democratic
state executive committee, who is al
legged to have received the letter, de-
MES that any such letter was either
written or received.
1t will strike the average citizen
that Mr.. NJ D. Price of Miami is a
trifle previous. What has he got to
do with the letter anyway and how
does he know what was or was not
written?
Obviously, the people who can tell
most about it are Pleasant A. Holt of
Jacksonville and w. H. Price of Mari
anna. incidentally some of the peo-
pie mentioned in the alleged letter
might tell what they know about the
matters referred to.
If Mr.. Holt wrote the letter, the
people and the officers of the law can
not have the matter verified any too
soon. If he did not write it, then Mr..
Holt cannot deny the matter any too
soon.
The receipt of such a letter by Mr..
Price does not necessarily indicate
that he is involved in any crooked
practices, and Mr.. Price can easily
clear himself by explaining his con
uection with the case, if such lette!
was received) or by denying the al
legation (if such a letter was not re,
ceived).
Some other people Gall of whom are
not clearly identifed) are mentioned
in the alleged letter. Who are they
and did any one or more of them re-
ceive any money from Mr.. Holt or
from Mr.. Cassidy and, if they did
what was the money for? Mr.. Holt
himself can easily answer the ques-
ton of whether or not he has sent
any money into Jackson county. Who
also is Mr.. Cassidy and what would
he-whoever he is-be sending money
into Jackson county for?
The whole question can easily be
cleared up if the persons whose names
appear in the alleged letter will simply
tell what they know about it. The
Journals columns are open to them.
