WALLACE q. NYE FOR MAYOR.

1t is a pleasant duty for the Irish
Standard to announce on the eve Of
election that Alderman Gould has
withdrawn from the mayoralty con-
test and left Wallace G. Nye in un-
disputed sway in his fight against
Thomas Van Lear, the Socialist can
didate by petition. Mr.. Gould was
prompted by patriotic motives to re-
tire from the triangular fight, feeling
convinced that If he and Mr.. Nye ran
against each other the Socialist would
likely get elected. 1t is a generous
act for Mr.. Gould to make such a
sacrifice at this time; but later in his
career he will be rewarded by his fell
low citizens. Under the circumstances,
it is the best thing for the city that
he could perform.
The Irish Standard was the first pa
per in the city to raise its voice
against Socialism. Only two weeks
ago it called on its readers to vote
against Van Lear and for either of his
two opponents. We now call upon
them in the last issue before election
to vote for Nye and preserve the city
from the communicating influence of
Socialistic vagaries.
In the primary campaign Mr.. Nye
demonstrated his popularity by get
ting the highest vote. Though his
rivals, Gould and Selover, developed
great strength, Nye ran considerably
ahead of them. At Tuesdays election
he will undoubtedly receive an enor-
nous majority over Van Lear
He is thoroughly qualified for the
Office and will give satisfactory adj
ministration. He has lived over 30
years in the city and held many posi-
tions Of honor and responsibility dur
ing that period. He understands the
city's needs and will devote his best
efforts to its prosperity. He Is man
of exceptionable ability in municipal
affairs, and we predict that like his
predecessor, Mayor Haynes, he will be
called upon to succeed himself after
the expiration of his term in recog-
milton Of his record Of efficiency dur
ing the next two years. Give Wallace
G. Nye rousing majority on Tuesday
and save the city from shame and
humiliation.

THE R,eoTs IN POLITICS.

Livery eHOrt IS Oelng made by the
patriotic orders so-called, to defeat
every Catholic nominated for office in
this campaign, regardless of his party
Affiliations. If matters not to them
whether the Catholic is Taft Re-
publican. Wilson Democrat, or a
Roosevelt Progressive. The fact that
he is Catholic at all Is enough to
bar him from any Office he seeks at
the hands of his fellow citizens.
This fact is almost incredible and
yet it is true. In the city Of Minne-
apolis there is 9. movement afoot to
discriminate against Catholics on
election day. Men, apparently re-
spectacle and engaged in various
lines of business, are disseminating
anti-Catholic campaign literature
throughout every ward of the city.
We quote as follows from one Of their
publications obtained by the writer,
to be used to the best advantage:
whenever and wherever a Cath
Ollie presents himself as a candidate
for public office, VOTE. AGAINST
HIM. Not only that, but see how
many others lou can get to do the
same thing. Defeat him by every
honorable means in your power. De-
feat him because he is Catholic, and
because a. such he cannot be true to

One of the most active campaigners
in the canvass now closing in Henne-
pin county, from a Democratic stand
point, has been Harry 8. Swensen
candidate for county attorney. He
was one of the original Wilson men
and no man, perhaps, has devoted his
time more faithfully to the interests
of the whole ticket than Mr.. Sven
sen. Such work as his ought not to
pass unrewarded. Mr.. Swensen is an
able attorney and we'll fitted for the
position to which he aspires.

RINopAL FoR GOVERNOR

Whether or not Peter M. Ringdal
will be elected Governor of Minnesota
on Tuesday, 1t must be acknowledged
by all that he has made a dignifled
campaign from start to finish. In the
discussion Of paramount issues he has
displayed an ability of a high order
and demonstrated his fitness for the
ONCE he seeks. He has scrupulously
refrained from the use of censorious
criticism and abusive personalities and
elevated himself in the esteem of his
political adherents and opponents
alike. He has made clean. high

The contest for Congress in the

convictions and competent to give
good service to their constituents.

time he has received the nomination
for Congress on the Democratic ticket.
In 1908 he was defeated, by 11.116
votes by Frank M. Nye, and in 1910
by only 1920. the net gain for Dwyer
being S.796 in two years. After such
a marvellous vote in a Republican dis
trict, Mr.. Dwyer thought he would
try again.
Congressman Nye announced his re-

as the Republican candidate and is a

also many elements of popularity.

Woodrow Wilson has 439 of the cleo

Taft and Roosevelt change the result

Who will try to show from any re-
liable figures that either of them can
get elected? Leaving Roosevelt out
altogether, what chance has Taft OF
reelection?
In his magazine advertisements and
through interviews sent out from
Washington, Mr.. Taft says that the So
called prosperity OF the country under
his administration entities him to q
second term. He does not claim cred
it for bountiful crops but yet he
thinks they ought to help him TO get
four years more in the White House.
OF course, there is prosperity, but it
is only enjoyed by few at the top
and it percolates slowly to those at
the bottom. It is fictitious prosperity
and no more. The high cost Of living
which Mr. Taft says Is on the down.
grade, will not permit the working
classes to save much for a rainy day.
Mr.. Taft must remember that before
his election as president he promised
a general reduction Of the tariff tax.
Instead of helping to fulfill his prom

COUNTYBOAROS
WILL CONSIDER
BRIDGE MATTER
JOINT MEETING TO BE HELD TO-
DAY AND GENERAL OPINION
PREVAILS THAT FERRY PASS
WILL BE SELECTED AS THE
POINT TO BUILD BRIDGE.

A joint meeting of the boards of
commissioners of Santa Rosa and Es-
Gambia counties will be held this
morning, converting at 8 o'clock, for
the purpose of considering and Sc
lecting the site for the proposed bridge
spanning Escambia river and giving
the two counties the long desired con-
nection by this means. The members
of the Santa Rosa board arrived in
the city last night.
Many of the commissioners are in
favor OF Ferry Pass as the site for the
bridge believing it to be the logical
point to span the river, and this view
is strengthened by the fact that the
estimates show that the bridge can be
built at a smaller cost at this point
than anywhere else.
Much interest is being manifested
in the matter and it Is expected there
will be a good crowd present during
the meeting.

GOOD BOWLING
IS WITNESSED
THREE OF BEST GAMES EVER
SEEN HERE TOOK PLACE LAST
AND FORT BARRANCAS, THE
SOLDIERS WINNING.

Three of the finest games of ten
pins ever seen in Pensacola were
played last night on the Pastime
alleys between the locals and a Fit.
Barrancas team.
The teams are undoubtedly the
strongest ever matched on the local
alleys, as can be seen by the following
scores. This was only a practice game
and if the contesting teams keep up
at the rate they went last night there
Will certainly be one of the hardest
fought battles for supremacy ever ex-
hibited by bowlers in the south.
The team from Barrancas which
played with so much vigor last night
IS said to be the second team from
the post and If the other team is any
stronger they will certainly set a pace
that viii be hard for any other team
to catch.
The locals viii also play a game
with the team of the Montgomery Sat
urday night and as the last game
played between these two teams was
so close another interesting one may
be expected when they meet.
The box scores were as follows:

of unusual Importance and matters
which viii require a considerable
amount of time are to be disposed of
today.
The first session will be a joint
meeting with the Santa Rosa county
board for the purpose of deciding upon
the location of the bridge to be con-
structed between this county and
Santa Rosa county. This session will
be called to order at $50 o'clock and
is expected to be an unusually lively
one as there is a vast amount of in
terest in the outcome of this meeting,
as we'll as a considerable amount Of
speculation. 1t is impossible to fore
cast the result as there is a consider
able diversity of opinion among the
commissioners who have expressed
themselves, while some members of
each board have declined to express a
choice so far.
Jail Proposition.
ter, the Escambia county board will
take up the jail business again, having
given the contractor until today to
obtain some additional information.
This question is sure to consume a
considerable length of time, as some
further report from the architect is
also reported and it is the intention
Of the board to go very thoroughly

In addition to the consideration of
the matters between the general con-
tractor and the county, the McGhan
matter will be taken up further, the
architect having been instructed to
furnish the board with a list of what

for bids for the completion of the
work, the contract having already
