Victory for Peoples Candidates

peNtor-Races to be Settled in Second
Primary June 9Th.

Returns from many sections of Flor
ida of Tuesdays Democratic primaries
are vet meagre, and definite results
from these points will not be known be-
fore Saturday.
Taliaferro has polled a big vote in the
large cities, and Broward has carried
some counties that were supposed to be
forTaliaferrO. BrOward's headquarters
are very much encouraged and enthusi-
astic over the majorities given him in
many counties claimed for Taliaferro.
BrOward's closest political friends say
that scores of country precincts dis
tant from telegraph stations are surely
for the ex-governor and will greatly in
crease his vote.
BrOward's increased vote in Duval
county has greatly encouraged his
friends, and they are claiming that ne
is more than two thousand votes ahead
in the State, and that the final battle
must be settled by a second primary.
L'Engle, although considered joke
in most counties, has received a scat
tering vote all over the State and has
probably carried two or three counties.
The State convention received Sc
we're jolt at the hands of the voters, as
the primary has probably been endorsed
in every county in the State.
From returns up to noon yesterday
the indications are that X. Hudson
Burr and N. A. Bitch have been re-
elected as railroad commissioners;
Burr is surely elected. Bitch and
Jackson may be in second primary.
While later returns may change the
situation, the indications point that the

ate have won in the various counties as

The advocates for the convention
plan were wiped off the map. and tins
y probably true in every county IN the
State. The primary won out by a
tremendous majority, and the vote was
singing rebuke to the majority OF
tne State Executive Committee. VINO
attempted several weeks ago to des-
| troy the system. :,
Returns also show that Burr and
pitch are leading and will likely hold
tne'r places on the Railroad commls-
SOP. W. X. Jackson in some counties
poaed heavy vote and latter returns
may make change.
