you take into consideration the fact
that Mr.. Stockton was opposed by one
OF the most powerful political machines
in the state, the result is not so sur
prising. The voters turned down q true
and sincere friend of the masses, for
had Mr.. Stockton been elected he would
have fulfilled every pledge. The Jack
sonville ring, when they discovered
they could not handle" Stockton to
suit their own convenience and that he
vas opposed to a select few controlling
the political situation of the state, set
the machine to work and accomplished
his defeat. The people were the losers
The indications now are that West
Florida will have the honor Of pro-
ducing our next United States senator
in the person of Hon. w. A. Blount, Of
Pensa cola.
With the magnificent lead Mr. Blount
received in the first primary it would
seem an unnecessary expense to hold a
second primary for he only came with
in a few hundred votes of securing a
majority over both opponents Mr..
Bryan can never expect to secure the
Stockton support and second primary
will only prolong the agony for a few,
more days with the same result tina
was attained in the first prinary-Cit-

Another Victory
For the People.

Immediately following the victory Of
the people in Tennessee, where they
elected Luke Lea to the senate, comes
the news that MARITIME has been elected
United States senator. from New Jer-
sew. While it was though that Mar
tine would win. it is nevertheless cause
for rejoicing that he succeeded.
Mr.. MARITIME not only takes the seat
of a. Republican, but he won out over
q Democrats car. 'ldate who has long
been the boss of corrupt politics in
New Jersey among the Democratic
crowd. He was dominated in the pri-
mary in the summer at the same time
Governor Wilson was chosen, but
James Smith. Jr.. made a strong at
tempt to secure the election for him
self at the hands of the legislature and
IN this he might have succeeded had ii
not been for the ardent work of Gov
ernor Wilson, wig is an advocate OF
pure politics and tAe rule of the peo-
pie.
That Mr. MARITIME was elected proves
that the people are coming into their
own and that they are going to be
represented by men who are their rep
resentatives in every sense of the word
and their choice of Governor Wilson a.
well indicates that they made no mis-
take that time. He could have easily
remained silent on the election OF q
senator and it is said that much
pressure was brought to bear in ar
attempt to make him stay out OF the
fight, even promising him the support
Of several states for the presidential
nomination in 1912, but he remained
true to the people who elected him.

Confidence Of Masses.

Confidence OF Masses.
Here's another evidence of the great
confidence Col. BIount's home people
have in him. Two friends who reside
in Pensa cola became involved in dis
pute over business transactions, one
contending that the other was indebt-
ed to him in sum Of money running
into the thousands. The first named,
whom we will call John, employed Col.
Blount to bring suit against his friend,
whom We will designate as Jim. When
Jim heard of Johns action he called
on him and said: John, we have been
lifelong friends, and We ought to be
able to settle our differences out e
court, so I propose that we leave it to
arbitration" John assented, and Jim
told him to select his arbitrator,
whereupon he named his attorney, Col.
Blount. All right" said Jim, i will
take him also, and whatever he says
that I owe you I will pay" The two
men went to Col. Blount and told him
of their decision to leave the entire
matter to him. Col Blount said it was
delicate matter, being the attorney
for one of them. but if they had such
confidence inshim he would render his

sides. Col. Blount turned to John ana
said: John. Jim does not owe you
anything, according to my view" All
right replied John, If that is your
decision I am perfectly satisfied and

than was paid Hon. w A. Blount in
the primary election last Tuesday by
the people Of his home precinct This
is one of the largest precincts in the
city of Pensacola, in which reside a
large number of laboring men, and the
vote attests the esteem in which Col.
Blount is held by all classes of peo-

their walk in life. He is the peer of

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. Feb. lS-Much inter-
est has been aroused over the bill
given notice of yesterday by Repre-
sentative Alexander providing for two
Police Commissioners for Wilmington,
making a ive-member commission.
Such bill would require two-thirds
of each branch, and II does not ap-
pear that enough votes can be obtain
ed at this time 1t is said, however,
that some of the advocates OF the
bill have been conferring with Demo-
cratic Assemblymen and some Of them
may vote for the bill, as a Democrat
and a Republican are 10 get the pro
posed new Jobs.
There hay been reports here for
sometime that such a bill would be
introduced. and IL has been talked of
In Wilmington since the Legislature
first convened There have been in
timations that one of the objects of
the bill is to try to bring about an i'm
vestigation of the police department
For some time It has been reported
here that when the five-commissionnr
bill is called up for action in the
House, some kind of charges may be
made either verbally or formally, and
that aftidavits may be filed, regarding
the police department as a ground sor
asking for an increase in the number
OF commissioners. One of these. II
is said, is that the present commits.
sioners have allowed alleged favorit.
ism TO exist. and that two additional
commissioners would stir up things
somewhat in the department
Another report is that some persons
unfriendly to Chief of Police Blacl
think the five-commissioner bill nigh

active head Of the department and th,

AT any rate, the progress of the bill
