Col. Booker and Capt. Miller are

the conclusion of the conference
with thc president that Mrs. Pank'

standing that she would depart at

Wilson declared that he and the
president had discussed the quGS-
lion briefly.
I'VE agreed" he said, that Mrs.
raukhurst should be admitted on
her own rcCogni2ance. My own rea-
sons and thc president feels likewise
that there is naturally an element OF
doubt as to whether her OtFenScS
constituted moral turpitudc or were
pnIitiral in character, Being adj
mitlod on her own reCogntzanct Of
course if she violates any Of our
laws We have two remedies, a court
may pass on her acts or we may de-
port her.
There being the element Of doubt
as to whether moral turpitude or po-
litiral olIrnsc was involved we de-
cidcd that we had sufficient safe
guards and that thcr" can be no
harm in admitting her"
The decision Of the president and
Secretary Wilson was communicated
to Commissioner General CamlnCtti
who issued the formal order of rc-
lease, President Wilson felt that the
law had flexible Interpretation so
that It is largely question Of poll
cy.
Commissioner Caminctti'S deCt-
sion was in strict accordance with
the views Of President Wilson amt
the secretary Of labor. Mr.. Cam
inctti filed brief memorandum
recommending Mrs. Pankhurst's ad-
mission on her own rrcOgntZanc2
and announced that he would later
file his reasons in writing.
There was no demonstration at th"
immigration bureau when the dcci.
sion was announced. The audience
OF women which had sat through
the hearing had departed. Mrs.
Pankhurst's lawyers received the
verdict with glad smiles and an
nounccd they would leave at once
for New York. At headquarters Of
the National American WOman's
Suffrage association the news was
received joyousIy, but all the Off
GERS said was they expected nothing
else. Supporters of tho suffrage
movement in congress received the
announcement without making for

WILL EDWARDS FOR MAYOR

Mr.. W. ]. Edwards will submit
his name to the white voters in the
Saturday primary for nomination
for the office of mayor
Mr. Edwards is one of our most
solid and sensible citizens. He has
been raised in Ocala and has borne
his share in the upbuilding of the
city
He served as mayor. of Ocala for
two terms, being elected by a large
majority over his competitor in
1903. In 1904 he was again elected
without opposition. He might have
had the Office longer but declined TO
run for the third term. He enters
the race at this time with reluctance
and only on the insistence of his
friends.
Mr.. Edwards is a very quiet and
unobtrusive citizen, so much so that
he is unknown to many of the men
about town. But he is as we'll yers-
ed as any man on the needs and re-
sources of the city, and if elected
can be depended on to work for the
best interests of OcaIa in close CO.

In conversation with a representa-
tive of the Star Wednesday, Governor
Trammell emphasized his statement
published the day before that he had
the registration provision added to
the Bryan bill in the interest of peo-
to qualify to vote in the primary. In
: the country districts, said Mr. Tram
NELL, many people would not hear of
the registration in time if the
amendment had not been added to
the bill. The Star agrees in part
with the governor. 1t doesn't think
the opportunity of the people to
register should be abridged for any
reason. At the same time, it thinks
that sixty days will saddle too big
an expense on the state. Ten days,
1T thinks, would have been enough
sor twenty at the most. However,
what has been done has been done.
AS the Star has said, We must first
try out the law and then amend the
faults in it. The commissioners of
the various counties, if they are con-
scientious men, will find ways to
make the expense lighter. Where
they are spoilsmen they will of
course use the registration Offices to
reward their political friends re-
gardless of the expense to the peo-
pie, None of us can tell how it will
