FLORIDA SHOULDENACT
ORRUPTPRACTICELAW
BY JOHN WILLIAM HEADEN.

IL Is not an argument for the return
20 the old venal and corrupt conven-
ton system of nominating candidates
70 say that the recent first primary
shows conclusively that Florida should
and indeed must amend and improve
her primary election laws. No lesson
was more forcibly taught in the recent
contest than the important one that
this commonwealth should enact a
corrupt practices law, controlling and
limiting the expenses of candidates In
many or at least several of the more
progressive states of the union some
such law was the inevitable result of
the direct primary.
Let us admit that the old time con-
vention with its petty bosses and
baleful influences has gone, never to
return. The people have demanded a
return to true democracy and have
adopted the direct primary. This is
as 1t should be. But as long as can
didates are permitted, encouraged and
in some instances required to spend
unlimited amounts Of money in secur-
ing nominations, the trail Of the SER
pent is still visible.
1t is common rumor that one candi-
date for congress in this state spent
$23, 900 before the first primary. He
came out second in that race and will
probably be defeated in the next setto.
he Is comparatively a poor man. II
he spent $4,000, where did he get IT?
If 1t was his own money and he has
bankrupted himself in his mad lust for
office, Is the system right which en-
courages It?
The salary of a member of the lower
house of congress is $500 a year.
His term Of Office Is two years. II he
lives as does his fellows and in keep
ing with the dignity of the place. ne
can save little or nothing of his salary
and in two short years he must make
the same fight over again. Is 1t not
reasonable to suppose that many men,
inlpoverishing themselves to be elected
and knowing their tenure OF Office to
be brief, will be more than ordinarily
susceptible to corrupt influences?
A candidate for congress can honor
ably and legitimately spend 100000 or
eN en- $780, 600 during the campaign. A
candidate for the legislature may
spend $4,000 in chase after $500 job
and not resort to bribery or the pur-
chase Of votes. He may spend all OF
this in a perfectly legitimate manner.
but he should not be compelled to do
it.
In Oregon and perhaps in other
progressive states, the law forbids a
candidate to spend over per cent of
the salary or emoluments of the office
he is seeking. He is forbidden, under
heavy penalties, to give away even
drinks or cigars, during the campaign
and the state pays all the expenses Of
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-05-19

the election. A candidate is permit
ted to have a brief platform" printed
on the ballot, thus making 1t possible
for a man to run for Office, to have his
views on public measures placed be-
fore every voter and without tae ex-
penditure of a cent.
The state should pay all the ex-
penses of primary elections. When
the costs are met by committees or in
dividuals, the tendency is toward cor
ruption.
1t would be interesting to know how
many candidates for the legislature in
Florida are in favor of reforming the
primary election laws to this extent
1t is safe bet that few of them will
express themselves on the sucject be-
tween now and the second primary.
1t would be just as interesting to
know what is the opinion on this sub
Ject of the Honorable Will Price, of
Mariana, chairman Of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee. BY the
way that committee should wake UP.
Take 1t as a whole It does not repre-
sent the Democrats of Florida: neither
does 1t represent the masses of the
people. Apparently, OF late 1t has
been drifting into machine for the
perpetuation in office of certain men.
This is not only undemocratic, but 1t
Is corrupt.
There is little common sense and no
real reason for holding primaries
seven monthsl before the general cleo
ton at which the candidates elected
in the primaries are to be voted on.
Seven months is too long q campaign.
by nearly six months. This arrange
ment also throws the primaries at a
time when farmers and other country
people in Florida are In their busiest
season. It brings the election at
time when many farmers cannot take
time to go to the polls, except at
great sacrifice.
This greatly limits the right of suf-
frage. Perhaps 1t was so intended but
1t Is wrong and it Is undemocratic
The statement will be made that
this was intended to keep down the
negro vote. Don't you believe it. In
the first place the negro cannot vote
in the democratic primaries-they are
for white Democrats. The negro in
Florida politics is in evidence only at
Republican conventions, with the sin
gle glittering exception of Joe Lee, of
Jacksonville, the Republican referee,
whose big toe all the federal Office
holders in Florida have to kiss.
The legislature of Florida Is not
likely to grant this reform. BY coa-
tjruous fighting the people may obtain
the initiative and referendum and with
this return to true democracy, enact
this and other needed amendments to
the election laws Of the state.

TO LEAVE SAN DIEGO.
Special 20 The Journal.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 1S.-Three
versions have reached here of an at
tack at San Diego last night on Ben
Reitman, who is known as Emma
Goldman's manager. While they vary,
Il seems certain that Reitman was
taken from his hotel to ranch, tarred
and feathered, escorted to the border
o. the county and warned never to
come back again.
One version has II that while Emma
Goldman was expostulating with a
crowd about the hotel, vig1lantes
seized Reitman and carried him away,
warning him not to come back again.
Another is that before he was tarred
he was forced to kiss the American
flag while a third has IL that the
initials, Il. w. W."-for Industrial
Workers Of the World-were branded
upon his back before the tarring.
1t is also reported that Emma Cold
man was escorted to a train and
warned not return to San Diego again.

Gainesville, May 1S.-The approach
ing commencement exercises of the
State University bid fair to be of un
usual interest. The orations to be de-
livered by representatives OF the
Junior and Senior Glasses, in compe-
tition for medals offered by the Board
OF Control, will be of a high grade.
The Board also offers a medal to the
winner of contest in defamation to
be participated in by representatives
Of the Freshman and Sophomore
classes. These declarations, to Judge
by the preliminary contests for ap-
pointment as representatives, will be
much better than usual. The student
musical organizations will also be
heard during commencement week and
will furnish good music The student
participation in the exercises will, 1t
is believed, delight the audience on the
various occasions.
Socially too the students will do
much TO give pleasure to the visitors
tEat are expected. The faculty. mas
much as commencement is busy time
for them, will have to content them
selves with taking part in the official
exercises, although a meeting of the
honor society, Phi Kappa Phi. is
scheduled for the week preceding COM
uencement.
The graduating class is large and
composed of men the University can
well be proud of. A list of these men
will shortly be published.

mother answered the door, the miner
seized her by the throat, threw her to
one side and entered the house. The
girl ran.

her through the parsonage. She ran
out and into the basement of the

left the basement by a second en-

Balshat appeared in the churchyard
and stood a moment as if in doubt

CHAPTER XXI.
Under Fire.

Blake heard Margheritas breath re-
| lease itself. She was staring as If at an
apparition. His mind, working with
feverish speed, sought vainly to grasp
the situation. Maruffi had broken away
and come for his vengeance, but how or
why this had been made possible he
could not conceive. 1t sufficed that the
rible, malignant as hell. Blake knew
that the ultimate test of his courage had
come.
He felt the beginnings of that same
shuddering. sickening weakness with
which he was only too familiar; felt the
strength running out from his body as
water escapes from q broken vessel. He
froze with the sense of his physical i'm
potency, and yet, despite this chaos of
conflicting emotions, his inner mind was
clear; it was bitter, too, with q ferocious
self-disgust.
There was breathless pause before
Maruff1 spoke.
"Lucrezia Ferara" he said, hoarsely.
as II wishing to test the sound Of the
name. $50 Oliveta is the daughter OF
the overseer and you are Savigno's sweet
heart" His words were directed at Mar
gherita, who answered in a thin, shrill
broken voice:
"What-are you doing-here?"
II came for that wanton's blood. Give
her to me-"
.'Oliveta? She is gone
The Sicilian cursed. Gone? Where?"
Away. Into the street. You-you cam
not find her"
Christi Marufa reached upward and
tore open the collar of his shirt.
Blake spoke for the first time, but his
voice was dead and lifeless.
Eyes. She's gone. You're wanted-you
must go with me-"
MarIfn gave a snarling, growing cry.
and his gesture showed that he was
armed. Involuntarily Blake shrank; his
hand CROPPED for his hip. but half way
encountered the pile of silken cushions
upon which Margherita had been lying.
His fingers sank into them nervously. his
other hand gripped the carven footboard
of the couch. He had no weapon. He
had not dreamed of such q necessity.
In this imminent peril q new fear swept
over him greater than he had ever

WOMAN, "a, WITH Ak,
MAKES BURGLAR FLEE
Brave Housewife Routs Negro
From Kitchen-ExpIains to
Friends, Then Faints.

PHILADELPHIA. October 2.-Grasping
an ak when she discovered negro
burglar in her home early yesterday. Mrs.
Sarah Inslipp, eighty-four years old, of
9Th and Fern streets. Darby. chased the
intruder from the house, and, as he
vaulted a fence, hurled a stick after him,
striking him in the head.
The negro toppled over, but regained
his feet before the old woman could
reach him, and escaped through an alley.
Neighbors, who were aroused by Mrs.
Inslipp's shouts as she drove the negro
across the lawn, hurried to her assist
ance. Search was made for the burglar,
but he could not be found.
Despite her advanced age. Mrs. Inslipp
is active and vigorous, and has often told
friends she does not know what fear
means, Shortly after midnight, Mrs. In
ship returned home after visiting rela-
tives. AS she entered the house she saw
a negro in the kitchen.
Attempts to Strike Her.
What are you doing there?" she de-
manded.
None of your business was the
negros answer, as he attempted to strike
her.
Quick as a flash the old woman picked
up an ak that had been standing near
the kitchen dooE. at the same time she
called out: John, get your gun, quick!"
There was no John in the house. but
the negro did not know that, and the
old womans ruse worked. Menaced by
the ak and fearing the approach Of
John" the intruder rushed through the
door and across the lawn, followed by
Mrs. Inslipp.
After she had put the burglar to rout
and explained the situation to excited
neighbors Mrs. Inslipp exercised the pre-
rogative Of q woman by fainting.
