BAD DEFECT IN STATE
PRIMARY LAW DISCOVERED

Jacksonville, Jan. pa news
paper man of the city has discovered
that there is no provision in the
Bryan primary law by which a man,
becoming of age between the time
the registration books close in March
and the date of the primary in June,
or a man, who has established lie
gal residence in the State, or any
county of the State, between those
two dates, can vote at the next pri =
mary following his becoming of age,
Or following his having established
q legal residence.
To cure this defect a bill Is now
being prepared by the Duval delega
tion to the next legislature, which
will be offered as an amendment and
giving the right to such men to vote
under certain restrictions. Between
the date Of the closing Of the books
andthe June primary, a period Of
nearly three months, or one-fourth
Of the year elapses. and in this Pc
riod, It is reasonable to assume.
about one fourth of the young men
arriving at voting age In any year,
will pass their 21st birthday. 1t Is
also evident, theoretically, that one =
fourth Of the annual newcomers to
Florida, or to any county in Florida,
will have lived the requisite time to
vote, within that three months pc :
riod.
The bill will provide that any
man reaching the age OF 81 years,
between the date Of the closing Of
the registration books and the date
Of the primary election, may. before
the closing Of the books. make am
davit to that effect, and make af :
fidavit covering the date on which
he will arrive at voting age. and. on
such aflidavit and showing. shall be
duly registered as though he were
then Of voting age, and shall be
eligible to vote In the first primary
following the closing Of the books,
the same as any other qualified voter
of the State, and the same provision
will be made covering the man whose
legal residence time shall elapse the
date Of the closing Of the registra &.
tion books and the following pri-
mary election.
II is pointed out that other States
have some provision covering these
new prospective voters every year.
and It is manifestly unjust for Flor :
Ida. and to the State itself, that ap-
one fourth of its annual
addition to It's voting list should be
Disseminated against and kept from
voting for a full two years. time af-
ter reaching the voting age, or hav-
ing attained h legal voting resi-

AUTOMOBILE TOURING.
(Albert Lea Tribune

The number Of people who get out in motor cars for
trips of considerable distance increases with arrival
of spring and summer At weeends the good roads are
grey hury bury Of dust But people of sedentary
lives giving their interior organs vigorous and
wholesome stirring such they never felt before
Most people accustomed to attempt longer trips
in single day that they comfortably get through
they go for longer periods they still lay out route
beyond the limit of easy travel So in order to connect
with hotel dining tables and running at night they
try to make up by running fast Starting with the con-
servatve ideas Of speed they find the gauge running up
to 3d. miles hour without objection 1t is
remarkable that there accidents The reason
is that drivers acquire remarkable capacity for instant
we'll controlled action which avers many crash or upset.
The phosophic motorists first thought is not as to

Love of mere speed is rather childish sentiment
The boy feels snowy countries when he gets out with
his double RIPPER and coasts down steep hills at imminent
danger of breaking his neck Unusually on becoming

But he has not bought automobile he seems to have

If he wants to get the best of his outing, he must
find the movement of his speed guage but in his

WOLVES KILL
DEER IN PARK

ST. PAUL, May l3.-There is no
truth in the report that elk IN the
paddock at 1tasca state park have
been killed by wolves, according to
State Forester w. T. Cox, who was
back in his office today after two
weeks spent in the northern woods.
Seven of the new herd have died from
injuries received in shipment, he says,
but otherwise the elk are in good
shape. Deer have been killd by wolves
in the park, however, both within and
outside the Enclosure. Mr.. Cox in
spected the work of setting out 100000
white pine seedlings in 1tasca park.
They came from the state universlty's
experiment forest near Cloquet.
