 N PROGRESS
MANY VOTES HAVE BEEN CAST
At 3:15 this Afternoon $50 Votes Had Been Cast-Numerous Workers Out--Expected Between 800 and 600 Votes Will Be Cast.
Workers

The contest in Valdez both in re- gard to the election of Delegate and for the various territorial offices has been a warm one, even the ladies dis playing a marked interest in the race.
 The polls opened at o'clock, and at o'clock about thirty votes had been cast, Al White casting number one. At 1 o'clock 230 votes had been cast and the crowds were beginning to thicken about the polling place, and at 3:15 this number had been increased. to $50. A number of workers were out gathering in the voters and it is estimated that by the time the polls close tonight some where between 500 and 600 votes will have been cast.
 Any attempt to forecast what the vote will be is at best guess pure and simple, but the Sulzer men and women are expressing the certainty that he will carry the town by fair plurality. Wickersham forces make the claim that he will carry the city by forty or fifty votes, but it is yet difficult to say who is leading in the ballots cast. " - '
 The wet and dry question is also enc that is attracting great deal of attention. Both sides claim confi- dence in carrying the town and both have been waging vigorous cam paign to this end. It is apparently a toss-up with the vets having a shade the better of the voting.
 In addition to the usual officials, for which the election throughout the territory is general. Valdez is also voting on a director and clerk for the school board. There are four can didates in the field for these offices and there is no lack of workers for the several candidates.
 Mrs. Emma Leavell and D. F. Mil lard are the candidates for the po- sition of Clerk and Wm. Dolan and c. P. Topliff for Director. All of the candidates have host of friends and it is believed the vote will be an ex. tremely close one.

st. Augustine the 18th in size
among the cities of Florida. is the
oldest in the United States. but ace
does not prevent it from leading as
it does at this time all American ci-
ties in campaign for the Getty Beau
titul.' The Record of recent date
contains list of 448 home owners in
the Ancient City who have flower gar
dens. This is an example for every
city, town and hamlet in Florida. Let
US not only make our cities beautiful
but the State beautiful. No State
has a greater variety of vegetation
for bloom, color and fragrance in ev-
cry month. If the spirit of the can
clent City, can be made to spread to
all parts of our State, every hotel
and boarding house will have to be
enlarged and new ones built. Our
climate is an asset, and with right eff
fort Florida can be made the real
flower and beauty State of the Union.

Florida is beautifully supplied by
the Creator with things for investi
gators to develop into usefulness. All
about us are growing things inviting
us to experiment with them. The or
ange was once of no value,-being
small, iuiceless and full of Seeds
the apple sour little crab, and the
tomato supposed deadly fruit. In
vestigation has found the cause Of
many of the maladies affecting the
human race. Apply the knowledge
and life is made longer, more efficient
and more comfortable. The little
pest that has crippled a great indus
try has been found-the cattle tick
and the remedy is available and east
ly applied.
Florida is a great State, great in
opportunities, in material resources,
and in climatic advantages. 1t is the
best located geographically of any
State in the Union. Sir Walter Raj
eigh once said: "The country in COM
mand of the Sea commands the
World" What American State has
such command and access to the Sea
and the World? A study of the map
will confirm this claim. Let every
citizen and parent, every boy and girl
of Florida, study and know their
State and they will love it the more,
and will help to make it greater and
more beautiful.

IN many OIL tnem are frequent; prop
erty rights are insecure.
But scheme has been worked out
by the masters of finance to make
foreign investments as good as d
government bond. Just put the Stars
and Stripes back of them!
There was a time when the slogan
of munition makers was: "Trade fol-
lows the Flag" That put the COM
mercial interests behind the navy.
But-"new needs, new deeds" That
slogan has been completely reversed.
The cry now is: "The Flag follows
the investment"
We will protect our citizens abroad.
Assurodly! That is our bounden duty.
if we are to uphold the standing and
dignity of our government among the
other nations of the world-strong
or weak. But, if the protection of
"citizens" were our only concern
there would be no "bordcr raids" no
"mobilization," no "war talk" There
would be no occasion for the clouds
th,t darkcn so many American homes
today. "Investments," n these plu-
tocrotic times, are vastly more i'm
portant than "citizens." And it is not
to protect "citizens" but to protect
"investmcnts" tina our boys in Khaki
have been forced inc action. That is
the truth of it.
These American investors" in
Observation-Disclosures using ev-
cry instrument they can control
their money, their newspapers, their
magazines, their political influence,
all tn II Ozark and devious ways, y
to bring about "intervention." In
tcrvemton means war. War means
blood, and killing, and bcrcavcd fami-
lies, and uncomfortable horrors. And
all for what? Profits! Privilege
profits!
Privilege exploits us folks here in
our own United States. And Priv
ilcge makes so much money out of
us inst it creates a huge surplus.
Privilege, never satiated, wants this
surplus to be at work bringing in
still more profits. Weak, and unde-
vcloped (and UNEXPECTEDLY countries
offer the biggest returns. So Privi-
lcgc buys a foreign CONCESSION"
Cheap! The system looks to that
bargain! But, to maintain the great
profits, it is ordinarily necessary to
resort to "strong arm" methods.
Sometimes people like the workers
in tho mining districts of Colorado,
Michigan, and West Virginia) resist
oppression and exploitation. Ma.
chine guns become the order of the
day. And, after all, our present
Mexican situation" is only a 'Lud-
low" on bigger scale. Privilege is
today trying to shape public senti-
ment, so that "our boys" shall be
made to march down into Mexico and
offer up their lives-for the purpose
Of placing the guarantee of the United
States government behind those gold
mines and other concessions, and to
make the profits of Privilege secure.

trying times by way of iustifying
Intervention" keep in mind this big,
outstanding fact:
American fnancers have more
money invested in Mexico than the
Mexican themselves have-S264,5S2,-
75S more.
American investments are biggest
of all in that unhappy, system-ridden
country.
This American money is found in
