Elect John y. G. Stockton
to the United States Senate.

Next Tuesday, the democrats of Florida will decide
whom they to represent them in the United States
senate for the six years beginning next March.
There are candidates running-Senator D. Z.
Fletcher, the present incumbent; and John n c. Stock
ton, the progressive democrat who is opposing him.
By whatever test you may apply, by whatever rule
you may him; John Stockton has always been
found battling for and with those democrats OF Florida
who believe in progressive democratic policies.

road commission Of the direct primary Of public control
of public utilities Of the abolition Of the railroad pass
Of driving public service corporations Of politics. of
limiting campaign expenditures and Of providing for the
publicity of such expenditures

cured only after long years of struggle by such
John Stockton and he himself has been the CON
spicuous leader in that long fight
Elect Stockton to the United States and you
will find him fighting there for the principles that
he represents in Florida. You WILL on the other hand
find him defending Lorimer eulogzing a
Bailey his leader.
If the democrats Of Florida are in sympathy with
the 20 years fight for REFORM led BY VIM l. BRYAN and
eliminating in the election Of Woodrow Wilson to the
presidency they will elect John n c, Stockton to rep
resent them in the United States senate

Study the Sample
Primary Election Ballot.

The Journal publishes today a sam
pie primary election ballot for the
information Of voters who have not vet
familiarized themselves with the new
style Of ballot which is to be voted
on June ..
If the voter will study this sample
ballot lie will find that it is easy to
vote and there is really no way for
him to go wrong in marking the bal
lot if he will simply follow the direc-
tions which it contains.
In the first place, the ballot must be
marked on the RIGHT hand side. Our
old form of ballots were marked on
the left hand side, but this ballot must
be marked on the right hand side or
it will be thrown out.
In the second place, where there are
more than two candidates running for
an office, you can vote both your first
choice and second choice. The ballot
is plainly printed so that every voter
can easily see how TO vote in each
case. Every voter should make 1t
point to vote both his first and his
second choice, because should his first
choice fail of election his second choice
vote permits him to help determine
who the winner is to be.
Study the sample ballot carefully as
printed in The Journal today and you
cannot make any mistakes in marking
it.

The Man Whose Weapon
Is a Sheer.

The Jacksonville Times Union, the
great state paper" owned by three
railroad corporations and spokesman
always for its masters. seldom loses an
opportunity to misrepresent the presi-
dent and to sheer at his motives and
his policies. Here is an example:
President Wilson hopes 10 establish
a real Dem ocratic government in Mex
leo. Whence does he get his commits
sion to play providence for the Next
cans? Has he more power to do good
there than to do good here?
The main difference between the
man who fights with a sheer and the
man who shoots from a house top
with a bullet IS that the latter IS
usually killed when located. Down in
Mexico they call him a "sniper."

The Real Source and
Danger of Disease.

The surest way to stop any nuisance
is to remove the cause or the source
OF such nuisance.
1t Is admitted that the house fly
Is not only deadly. filthy, and the
cause OF much sickness, but that
every precaution should be taken to
put It out Of existence
With this purpose in view It seems
strange that the health authorities
have overlooked the real source Of
danger-the stables
No order has ever been issued. so
far as The Journal knows, requir-
ing that stables be screened in order
to keep out the fly, and yet this
would be the wisest and most far
reaching order that could be issued
1t IS strange that this has been
overlooked.
II you want to cure disease, re-
move the cause.
II you want TO get rid Of the flies,
they must not be given full privileges
Of habitation and propagation in the
stables OF a city or town
1t is from such places as these that
the death spectre stalks. and vet
&ealth authorities very particular
about a few minor things, absolutely
ignore this greatest of all sources of
danger.
This is no time to handy words.
The health of any community is worth
more than the few dollars that it
would require to keep livery and pri-
and lined.
This would do more for the health
' of the city than the screening of every
residence in the city.
Why should livery stables, or pri-
vate stables, be allowed to endanger
the health OF a community? There
isn't a livery stable in the city that
is screened nor are the city stables in
any way protected. In fact, the city
stables are much worse than the livery
stables. Flies by the millions are
incubated in the very filth OF such
places and spread out over the city
carrying disease and death to people
who are required TO take all neces-
sary precautions about their homes to
prevent sickness It Is absurd to
argue that these flies can be entirely
screened against. Flies will slip in
sometimes when screen doors are
opened. They attack people on the
streets and coming from some dirty
and filthy public or private stable
they implant the germs OF disease
on the person, maybe the little child,
on whom they allght
The way to clean up is to go at
the source OF things All stables pub
lie and private should be screened:
otherwise they become a source of
danger to the public and a general
nuisance. Not only should they be
screened, but the filth from the
stables should not be allowed to be
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1914-05-31

raked up into heaps and left for
breeding places for flies
This is matter that needs some
attention, and until this attention is
given in the most vigorous manner,
the attempts at successful santa
ton will ignore the source of danger,
while trying to minimize the effect
that is absolutely certain.
