What + stand for and will recommend if am
elected Plumbing Inspector:
l. 1 will recommend that the plumbing ordinance
be amended as to prevent combine of the Master
Plumbers of this city and make it impossible for them
to form alliance of any kind that will give them
price for the plumbing work which the people
compelled to have done under ordinance adopted
by the city council.
2. will recommend that some provision be
made that will permit property owners to pay for
their plumbing just the they allowed to
pay for sidewalks and pavement
3. will recommend that the ordinance govern
ing plumbing be amended to such extent that it
will be possible for the people have their work done
in such will prove benefit to them and
not burden, as it is. You will pay cheaper
the city for water this year than you did last
year. This, coupled with safe and sane plumbing
done in frst-class and at small on the
easy-paynent plan will be putting the sewerage sys-
tenn to the that it intended to be-a benefit
and not burden to the tax payer and small property
owner.
My experience of twenty-four years at the bust
in all its branches qualities to put the above
proposed amendments before the proper authorities
in such that they will readily the
sty for such changes to the present plumbing ordi-
nance that they will enact them into law.

wonder that he made the splendid
race that he did.
He admittedly stands at the head of
his profession In Florida, and II he
could have been elected he would
have given our state q reputation In
which we all could have rejoiced. He
would easily have measured up with

The Will Of the People.

The Will Of the People.
It looks like Nathan P. Bryan was
nominated In the primary Of Tuesday
for United States senator. There can
be no positive assertion concerning the
result until the official canvass. for
there Is little doubt that the race be-
tween Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Blount was
very close.
But II we should grant that Mr..
Blount had obtained q majority over
Mr.. Bryan we must still recognize the
fact that Mr.. Bryan po1led a remarka-
BILE Understandable for the fact that
Mr.. Bryan was new to politics; re-
markable for the fact that he was a
candidate without a record by which
the people might Judge the future: re-
markable that his opponent was a
much older man with q record in pub
lie affairs, which was not altogether
to his discredit
The inevitable conclusion is that the
people are not in favor Of electing to
public Office a man who has served
his time In the employment Of a pub
lie service corporation. There was
nothing to urge against the private
character OF Mr.. Blount. As q man
and a citizen his record is one Of no.
table freedom from attack. He is a
churchman Of .unimpeachable charac-
| ter; he has no bad habits that detract
| from his usefulness as a man or a
citizen: he stands without reproach in
the community In which he has spent
the greater part Of his life; aside from
these considerations, which count
much In the selection Of a public SER
want, Mr.. Blount's reputation as q
lawyer IL such that he commands
without question the position Of first
place at the Florida bar. He was with
out question one Of the strongest can
didates who could have b zen selected
or who could have chosen, to offer fol
the senatorship. Yet he has been de-
feated by STRIPPING In politics; by q
youth In experience. What Is the In
evltaole conclusion? Merely and sim
ply that the people of Florida demand
total enforcement from corporation
rule control or influence in politics
and the people are right.
We entertained little doubt that Mr.
Biount would make q good senator.

Compliment to Ability.
The great battle of ballots is over
and Bradford's Democrats stood for
Blount. Every precinct in the county
except Raiford gave q majority for
Blount. Providence gave the county
an object lesson in the pure article of
democracy by giving q solid vote for
Blount, and Lake Butler precinct gave
him LOT out of. 131 votes. 1t is certain
ly a great compliment to Mr.. Blounts
ability, stability and reliability, and
last but not least In 80 honoring Mr..
Blount they paid q public tribute to
their own judgment in picking out the
ablest man and one whose freedom
from dirty campaign politics was
worthy Of the support Of every clean
minded Democrat. The latest returns
we can get before going to press is
both sides claiming victory. The race
will be very close, with perhaps less
than five hundred votes between the
two candidates. The official count will
determine the matter next week. We
will give the official vote by coun-
ties. The canvassing board meets
next Wednesday.-Lake Butler Star.

The election returns Of Tuesdays

Hon. w. A. Blount Of Pensacola.

cent race. He carried his home coun-
ty and the counties Immediately adj

people of the state are not controlled

Mr.. Blount was accused of being a
railorad attorney, which accusation
he never denied, but during the pro-
gress of the campaign his railroad
connection, purely in a professional
way, arose to colossal proportions, and
built up q prejudice against him az

A Much Needed Reform.

The democratic party will make Il
great mistake II II loses the oppOr-
tunity now presented to change the
dates for the converting of Congress.
Under the present law the first reg
ular session does not meet until
thirteen months after the election
only eleven months before the next
electiOn-and the second session
does not convene until after the sue
cceding election, when many Con-
Eressmen have been defeated. 1t
is unfortunate that the country
should have to wait so long after
an election before securing the rene
dial laws voted for, and still more
unfortunate that 1t should be made
the victim of legislation that could
not he enacted before the election.
The democratic Congress should
take advantage of its majority to
pass law changing the date Of both
sessions. The first session should
convene March cor, ii the date of
inauguration is changed. on that
day. This could he the short ses-
sion. The second session should
begin the first of December when
the first session begins now and
should adjourn at least thirty DAYS
before the following election. Pro-
vision should he made for third
session every four years to count
the electoral vote and the President
should he empowered to call spe-
cial session at any time to provide
for emergencies. The change above
suggested is imperatively needed.
Who will secure the credit of inaug-
urating the reform? The necessary
bill ought To he introduced at once.
