SWAT THE FLY AND
ALSO CLEAN UP THE CITY

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In the spring the fancy of youth
turns to thoughts of love, unless the
said youth is a morning newspaper
paragrapher, then his fancy goes off
at a tangent and he hurts broadsides
of advice about swatting the fly. To
regale the aroma of cup of coffee and
read about fiy-swatting at the same
time-ugh.
POndering upon this annual custom
of screening and yelling at one an
other to swat the animated source of
malaria and souse with oil the insects
Of the genus culex, those diaphanous
creatures who rival plumbers in pre-
scnting their bills before doing the
work. Pondering thus, one is con-
WINGED that if some other things We're
swatted occa sionally or fabricated with
the viscosity of public opinion, better
results would accrue-board of public
works and health department, for in
stance. Here in Pensa cola the past
few months we have had inflicted upon
us parkways. driYsways, waterways
| and Blocker-ways galore. Every one
| a desirable acquisition as far as they
80, for what is better than pra Ctical
demonstration by public officials of the
| possibility for happiness, health and
| beauty in clean, orderly roads and
parks and Illuminated streets? But

start at the back yard and so to the

that beauty is but cuicle deep. Space

| are supposed to hunt out and remedy.
On the north side Of Wright between
| Hayne and AIcaniz there is an arti-
| fetal lake which varies in size as the

grades resembling the fluctuations Of

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 10. 1912.
Woodrow Wilson
Voted For Mr.. Bryan.

The following regarding the Escam-
biz County Democratic Executive Com
mittee and also regarding Woodrow
WILSON appeared in yesterdays Pensa-
cola News:
The committee adopted rule that
no one who failed 70 vote the Demo-
cratic ticket straight IN the last presi-
dental election could beeor1e = candi-
date in his county. AS woodrow VIII
son is in the presiGen primary in
Florida it is certain that his followers
In this state will endesvor to have his
name on the ticket III the primary in
this county. As Woodrow Wilson adj
mits that he has never voted for any
Democratic presidential nominee ex-
cept Grover Cleveland and has stated
openly that he never voted for w. J.
Bryan in his life it is dead certain
that he did not vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket in the last presidential
election and cannot under the recent
ruling of the Democratic executive
committee, have his name printed on
the ballot I'm Escambia county All of
which is well and good.
OF course the Escambia county com
mittee did nothing of the kind, and of
course. also, Woodrow Wilson never
made the statements attributed 20 him.
Some weeks ago, some one started
the circulation of the asinine charge
that Governor Wilson did not vote for
Bryan and Kern in 1908. This story
got into circulation in Oklahoma while
the convention to elect national dele
gates was in session, and Senator Gore
wired Governor Wilson for a statement
on the subject. Here is the governors
prompt reply:
Be kind enough in my behalf to
deny the statement which | under
stand is being circulated in Oklahoma
chat voted against Mr.. Bryan in 1905.
voted for him.
Governor Wilson's statement ought
to satisfy anyone, but the best answer
TO the ridiculous canard about his sup
rort of Mr.. Bryan is that neither MIR.
Bryan nor Mr.. Bryan's friends have
expressed any resentment toward the
New Jersey candidate. IL THEY are
not concerned about it, why should Mr..
Bryan's enemies be interested?
1t is of course too much to expect
that all OF the papers which have pub
lshed this false charge about Governor
Wilson will make the proper correc-
} ton, but the country at large will un-
derstand the situation anyway.
