b[0UNT'S VOTE
IS A SPLENDID
TESTIMONIAL
CHAIRMAN WILL n. PRICE OF
STATE COMMITTEE TALKS OF
RECENT PRlMARY-BELIEV
WEST FLORIDA MAN WILL WIN
IN SECOND.

Hon. Will H. Price, of Mariana,
chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, is in the city for
few days attending to some legal
matters before the circuit court.
When seen by Journal representa-.
tive last night at the San Carlos hotel,
Mr.. Price talked interestingly Of the
senatorial election of last Tuesday
and OF the prospects for the one to be
held in a few weeks.
Mr.. Price is very certain that sec
ond primary will be held for he says
he has been told that the Jacksonville
man would insist on having another
chance.
"On the whole" said Mr.. Price, 81
think the vote polled was as large as
could have been expected under exist
m1ttee did everything it could to get
out a full vote and I am very we'll
satisfied. OF course some precincts
did not hold elections, but with the ex-
ception of one county it was the fault
Of the people themselves. In Calhoun
there came very near not being any
election, for the tickets sent by the
state committee from Tallahassee
We're lost by the express company and
not until the last minute did they get
there"
This delay, Mr. Price said, prevent
ed an election in Calhoun county in
several Of the precincts, but it was the
fault OF the express company, and not
any neglect on the part Of the COM
mittee. About four precincts in Cal
houn We're the only ones in which
elections were held.
Carrying Escambia county by such
an overwhelming majority as Mr..
Blount did" continued Mr.. Price,
should make all of West Florida
proud Of him. 1t was a magnificent
testimonial of the peoples faith and
confidence in him. and win be the
best recommendation for him in the
second race.
Il have known Mr.. Blount for a
number of years and I can say that
ne richly deserved the vote and that
if he goes to Washington he will soon
take his place among the leaders there
and all Florida will be proud of MIN"
On being questioned about the result
of the second primary, Mr.. Price said
he could not see how anyone could be
in doubt as to the outcome. ITO elimi-
nate politics altogether and to take
the two men on their merits alone,
cannot see how anyone can vote
against Mr.. Blount. But the other
crowd will make a desperate tight to
win. and the way to make Mr.. D1ount's
majority sure and overwhelming is for
all of his supporters to get TO work
and work until the last minute"
Mr.. Price thinks that Mr.. Stockton's
vote in Duval, Alachua, Jackson and
Volusia will be almost solid for the
West Florida candidate
MIR. Price has an important case be-
fore the circuit court today and will
remain in the city tonight to attend
the show in which Paul Gilmore is the
star.

Says the Montgomery Advertiser:
eve have been reliably informed that
Florida man went on his honeymoon
alone, leaving his young bride at home
to get the mouse in shape and look
after other matters. This has a flavor
Of the patriarchial system, but we are
generous enough to presume that he
didn't have enough money to pay the
way of both of them" Not at ALL
The young man had to make the trip
to Alabama and his love and esteem
for his bride was so great that he did
not care to punish her by taking her
to that staue-even on the honeymoon.

A timely suggestion to adjourn,

plans to follow earnestly the advice
given by DR.. H. w. Wiley at an ADDRESS
In the Public Library last evening.

10 advance their cooperative work, 70

their buying, SO as to include othei
things than those now co-operauNels

The Civil Service Council had planned
an increase of its field OF enort, out re-

exist merely to buy In common, out &c
ADVANCE the interests Of clerks In every
way. Neither did Dr.. Wiley conine Hi
remarks to tho subject Of cheaper pur'

government clerks holding their po-
sitions under civil service regulations
should not be subjected to the within or
caprice or prejudice Of executive SUI
periors as respects their tenure OF Of

Chemistry.
Government clerks ought to be pro-
tected in their Jobs just as army Of
ncers are. Promotions should be by
seniority and not by favoritism. Semi
ority should rule unless there 10 marked
reason why some one OF special ABILITY
and industry should be jumped over
his associates.
DR.. Wiley told the clerks 1t was
not so necessary that salaries be IN
creased, as that the purchasing pow
er of present. salaries be made great
err. hence the necessity for co-opera-
tive buying. He said he was not one
of those who cried "Down with the

This BILL sponsored by Repre- sentative
James Hay of Virginia. chairman of

ported from the Military Affairs Com
mittee Immediately after the holidays.
1t provides for the consolidation of the

partment into supply corps. 1t fur
ther provides that ali employees OF the
new supply corps shall be enlisted men
Of the army. The auartermaster's de-

approximately 1000 civilian employees
who. under such q law. would DO sep
arated from the service.
Great Interest.
AZ o result Of the imminence Of final
consideration Of this bill. there Is a deep
spirit Of unrest In the War Department
among the uen and women affected.
Both the civilian employees affected and
officers Of the three departments named
are gagged by Executive orders that
deny them the privilege Of lobbying for
or against pending legislation.
. Those favoring the consolidation meas
! IRE point out that it would effect a
great economy not only through the
Capitalization Of work. but that the sal
AIRY cut would be enormous. Tho pro-
posed law provides that the enlisted men
employed shall not receive more than
$76 q month or less than SIS g. month.
Present salaries range from $50 to $175

Agitation Against Bill.
All army iepots and arsenals through
out the country will feel the effects of

gress, as there IRE many civilian en-
ployes scattered throughout the country,
particularly in Boston. New York, PhiIa-
delphia. Chicago. st. Louis, San Fran
cisco. Manila. New Orleans. and Jeffer-
sonville. Ind.
Agitation against the passage Of the
bill has begun in these cities. and there
undoubtedly will be much yelled oppo-
sition against 1t here.
The civilian employees Of the service
all are specialists in thsir particular
