VOTE IN VERMONT ANALYZED
II Seems TO Settle Beyond Doubt the
Fate OF TAFT In November.

One OF the ~farreaching and deeply
significant facts revealed by the Yer
mont returns Is this: many Repub-
leans prefer Woodrow Wilson. the
Democrat, to William II. Taft. the can
didate of their own party.
There Is no other rational interpre.
tatiOn Of the returns. Beyond any
question there were Democrats who
voted for the Roosevelt ticket. These
converts from Democracy surely out
numbered the Democrats. II any there
were. who voted for the Taft candi-
dates. Yet the Democratic vote was
altogether extraordinary. 1t far ex-
ceeded the usual and natural vote of
the minority party In Vermont. even
In years favorable to the Democratic
side in national campaigns.
This means that many old-line Re-
publicans went all the way over to the
party they had fought against and
beaten for many years. They went
to Wilson. in many cases. 1t IL safe to
say, because they felt more certain of
hitting the president hard by that use

reasoned that the entirely certain way
to make their anger against their old
party count was to vote the Demo.
cratic ticket. They knew that there
could be no doubt as to what that
would do to Republican chances and
prestige In the national campaign.
Is II necessary to inquire what this

canism Is arrogant and bred in the
bone. means for the Republican ticket
In the country as a whole? Can there
be a question as to the fate Of Mr..

WINNERS OF COTTON GROWING
CONTEST IN MARION cOUN-
TY

Messrs. w. T. Perry and O. E. Mar
tin, of Oxford, (partners) received the
Geo. Giles & Co. $500 premium for
the largest amount of Sea Island cot
ton marketed in Ocala the past sea-
son. The cotton was of very fine
quality and these gentlemen feel
very pround of having beaten the
whole of Marion county in the contest
and say that next season they intend
to try to capture the premium for
the first bale as we'll as the premium
for the largest lot They brought in
about twenty-seven thousand pounds,
so the rest of the cotton growers had
better look out for them
The crop last season was larger
than for some years, and was he
medium through which quite a lot of
money was distributed throughout
the county and Ocala got a very large
percentage Of it.

OF THE WATER
WORKS

We understand that the city coun-
Gil at its meeting tonight, will have
before it a proposition for the pur-
chase of the water works
1t is very important proposition,
and in accepting or rejecting it the
council should go with exceeding slow
deliberation.
We do not know that it could do
better than to take the advice recent
ly given by the city attorney, Mr..
Carlos L. Sistrunk.
If we remember correctly, he adj
vised the employment of an expert
engineer to pass upon the present val
lie of the plant. This it seems to us
is excellent advice The members of
the council, perhaps, no more than
we, are engineers or experts in the
life of water pipes in a soil like ours,
SO in putting a price on the same
would be as much puzzled as buying
a pig in sack.
We do not think that the city should
undertake to confiscate the property
of the water company even if it were
in it's power to do so; On the other
hand, we do not think that it should
give an exorbitant price for it. If it
is possible to arrive at it's true value
it should come to an agreement along
these lines. 1t should guard well the
citys interest, yet, at the same time
give a fair, reasonable price to the
water company for its plant.
But, first of all, it should take ev-
cry wise precaution to find out what
a fair, reasonable price is.

PED TO A NUMBER OF

The popularity of Florida fruit was
evidenced Monday in the shipments
made by Walter Hawkins, the well

city, whose store filled orders con-
signed to twenty-four different states,
while two boxes of these oranges
were destined to Hanover, Germany.
The time-worn expression, from
Maine to California indeed, applies
to the territory to which these ship
ments moved, some of this fruit be-
ing shipped to Portland, Me-, while
other boxes were consigned to Los
Angeles, Cal.
The shipments covered the entire
