senator BRYAN
EXPLAINS PRIMARY
With Special Reference to
the Second Choice Fea-
ture.

Senator N. P. Bryan, author of the
new Florida Primary Law says the
law will prove simple, workable and
will be easily understood when in op-
Grafton. He explains the law as fol-
lows:
"Under the old plan, after the
first primary was held, the leading
candidate had been defeated. These
defeated voters were recognized as
the balance of power. The new law
does not depart from this process,
for the reason that their second votes
are the only ones which are added to
the total of the leading candidates.
They determine the result.
"For instance, four candidates are
in the race, A, B, c and D, and run
in order nasned. Your preference is
D, and your second choice is A. You
therefore vote what is called D-A
ballot. On the other hanS if you
vote an ALB ballot and A and B lead,
then your B vote is not counted, for
the reason that it would be Illogical
to permit your second choice vote to
cancel that of your first choice.
"Some are under the impression
that by Single shooting" or failure
to vote for a second choice, an ad-
vantage will accrue for the first
choice. This is absolutely impossi-
BILE. If you vote for c alone and e
lis defeated, it is the same as if you
had voted in the first primary and
had failed to participate in the sec
ond. If the voter single-shoots A
and declines to vote for B, his second
choice, and these two lead, nothing is
gained, if he had voted ABB his vote
for B would not be counted. If the
voters will impress it upon themselves
that no second choice votes will be
counted excepting those for, the de-
feated candidates they will have the
solution of that question.
at has been said that a plurality
nomination is possible. Where three
candidates are running it is possible
but not probable. Very early in ev-
ery campaign two candidates impress
themselves upon public opinion as
leaders"

GRADUATING CLASS
PUTNAM HIGH SCHOOL
Greeted by an Immense Au-
dience Monday Night.

Amid music and flowers and proud
parents and friends the graduating
class of the Putnam High School
stood on the stage of Howell thea
ter last Monday night and received
their well-earned diplomas.
Chattaway's orchestra rendered
sweet and appropriate music to enliv-
en- the occasion. 1t was just another
class of young men and women of Pa
latka who have finished with honor
the home course. Some will go into
higher institutions of learning and fit
themselves for the business and pro-
fesssions of life. Others will go out
into the busy world and apply what
they have learned here and depend on
experience to teach them further. All
are but just beginning 1t was their
commencement day.
But the program was delightful. 1t
showed that Prof. Van Brunt and his
able corps of assistants had something
more than ordinarily bright to work
on during the past year.
Miss Mona Rodda was the honor
graduate and she gave an essay ap-
probation of William Cullen Bryant's
poetry. 1t was masterpiece.
Tim Merrill gave an Grafton on
"The Worlds Progress" He showed
and showed in eloquent, choice Ian
guage what had been done in scien-
tifc discovery and application of
those discoveries toward the worlds
progress; the wireless telegraph, the
uses of radium and aviation were
among the progressive discoveries
touched. This young man has a
bright future.
Miss Margaret Mercer Willard,
another bright young graduate read
an esay on "Portia, Juliet and Rosa
lind" Her delivery was excellent and
her appreciation of the characters
showed a deep study and ready
comprehension.
Hon. Howell A. Davis, president cf
the board or trustees, presented the
diplomas in happy vein, and Capt.
Geo. M. Lynch, one of the States
most prominent educators, delivered
the address to the graduates.
Mrs. F. L. Thorpe and Lew S. Bars
tow rendered vocal and violin solos
respectively, and in excellent style.
The invocation was delivered by
Rev. W. M. Poage of the Methodist
church.

ed with Prof. G. w. Land in the man.
agement of the Palatka Business Col
lege
Prof. Eigel was also for year
principal of the high school at Cres-
cent City, where his work stands
out as unassailable from any point
of view. The Ocala Star says:
"Prof. L. E. Eigel who has been
in the city for the past several days,
has bought the Ocala Business Col
lege and will open the same Monday
afternoon, May 25th.
"Prof. Eigel is not young man
neither is he old, except in exper-
ience in school and educational work.
He came to Ocala and invested some
money and now has come to stay.
He has ample "anchors" out in Flori-
da to hold him down and feels that
he will soon merit the confidence of
the public. Mr.. Eigel has neat
little home at Pomona, 16 miles from
Palatka. He also has property at
Brooksville and in the northern part
of Marion county; he has wife and
six children and one grand-child.
He intends to secure a small tract of
land on the edge of town, where he
can build home and cultivate the
soil.
"In his announcement and in his
talk to a Star reporter, Mr. Eigel
says he wants to show the people
what he can do before asking them
for money, and this will certainly
appeal to all fair-minded persons and
assure them that he has confidence
in himself and what he can do for
them. If, after attending his school
for a month, they are satisfied he
is making good, he will then like to
have their money.
"Prof. Eigel was for several years
elected superintendent Of the Lyons
Iowa, public schools, and gave per
feet satisfaction. He was connected
with state teachers institute work
in that state and officers of the coun-
ty, the institute and the state univer-
sity speak in the highest terms OF
his ability, his push and energy anc
tact in the instruction of the youth
under his care.
"Prof. Eigel has had wide expert.
ence in the conduct of business col.
leges and with the staff of assist
ants he will gather around him, as
the growth of the Ocala Business
College justifes, this section Of Flcr
ida will have college of which i
will be proud.
"The Star welcomes Prof. Eigel t.
Ocala and whatever discouragement!
the section may have experienced il
business colleges in the past, he i'm
presses us as being both able an(
determined to make his venture herr
a success.
"The college is located in the thirt
floor of the Commercial Bank and oc
cupies that entire floor, is well equip
sed to carry on the work, is well light

NOT WISE TO
TAKE CAL0MEl

Dodson's Liver Tone is just as
sure in results and always safe.
pleasant in taste and has no bad
after-effects. AS remedy for
a torpid liver calomel has more
than met its match in Dodson' S
Liver Tone. This medicine does
not roughly force the liver on to
perform its work. 1t acts gently
bus surely.
Calomel depends for its power
upon exciting the liver to do
more work, and often the liver
is too weak to stand such treat
ment, and after taking calomel
you are as a result sometimes
worse off than before.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot
cause any of the dangerous
effects that often follow the use
of calomel. 1t is entirely vege-
table and pleasant to the taste,
and is suitable for children and
grown people.
Get a large bottle for fifty
cents at Ardrey's Drug store
under the guarantee that if it
doesn't satisfy you that it per-
fectly takes the place of calomel
you will be given your money
back with smile right at the
store where you bought Dodson's
medicine.
