Editor The Journal
Permit me to trespass briefly upon
your time and the valuable space OF
Your paper for the recitation Of some
facts, viz:
In the first paragrap pin Of a news
story appearing in the columns of The
Pensacola News of II instant, with
reference to the holding of a demo
cratic primary elecaion in connection
with the prospective reeaif election, /
was grossly and inexcusably mtsguoted
by the writer of the story.
Upon reading the story late in the
afternoon, ] wrote the editor of The
News a courteous note calling his at
tention to the misquotation of me.
a copy OF which is appended here
10. This note was delivered by mes
senger to the editorial rooms of The
News during the forenoon of Satur-
day.
The editor of The News, not only
failed to publish my note as requested
by me in the body of same. but also
failed to offer any amends for the mis-
quotation of me. Instead, he publish
ed a discourteous, unfair almost
aDuslve-editorial, with reference to
me. This I shall ignore.
However, the concluding paragraph
OF this editorial, which reads as fol-
lows, interests me greatly, viz:
IF he tthe reference is to mel is
so fond of primaries, for city offices
will someone kindly explain why this
applicants Big supporters shy So
a primary for postmaster of Pensa
cola ?''
1t would be manifestly presumptuous
upon my part to assume to answer for
the great majority of the people of
Pensacola, who. by fnnumerable, mani
festationS have convinced md that
they favor my appointment as post
master of Pensacola, the question as
to their wishes with reference to hold
ing a primary for the selection of
postmaster of Pensacola.
Answering for myself, however, 1
will say without equivocation or eva
sion, that l heartily favor. and earn
estly court, the holding of a primary
for the selection OF a postmaster of
Pensacola.
1 should Of course be a candidate in
such a primary, and if my estimate
of whom the people of Pensacola favor
for the postmastership should prove
inaccurate in event that a primary
should be held, and / should be de-
feated. 1 should at least have the salts
faction, along with a great majority Of
my fellowmen, of knowing that the
nominee of such a primary was the
choice OF the patrons of the Pensacola
poStoffice.

Bulgarian "Napoleon' Expected
to Win Great Distinction in War

St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.-Russian
army men would not be surprised if
the present war developed in Gen.
Radko Dimitrieff of Bulgaria one of
the great military leaders of the time.
General Dimitrieff a few days ago re-
signed as Bulgarian minister at st.
Petersburg in order that he might en-
ter the Russian army as volunteer.
General Dimitrieff, who Is the Lit
tie Napoleon" of Bulgaria, Won his
laurels in the Balkan wars. He was
sent to Russia in 1880 at the age of
twenty-one to complete his military
educa ton, having already served as
a lieutenant in the Roumelian mill
tia. He returned home in time TO par
ticipate in the revolution of 1885.
In the subsequent war with Servia
he was appointed chief of staff of
the eastern army corps, and was
present at the battles of Dragoman
Pass, Tsaribred and at the taking of
Pirot. For gallant conduct at Pirot
ander.
Dimitrieff showed his bias for Rus
sia early in his career He was one
of a clique of Bulgarian army officers
who, acting as puppets Of Russian
intrigue, achieved the capture and
ter revolution which seized the reins
from this group ended in Prince
Ferdinand being placed on the
throne. Dimitrieff was compelled TO
flee to Russia, where he remained
until his pardon in 1898.
On his return to Sofia he received
a commission in the Bulgarian army
and was advanced until, in 1904. he
became chief of staff. Subsequently
he was made major general, and in
the last Balkan war left the left wing
of the army in its advance against
