SOME ELECTION FIGURES

While the vote of the entire State
CT Florida has not been tabulated as
yet, one or more counties yet being
missing, the figures as returned by
ing.
In round numbers, the State of
Florida cast eighty thousand votes
in the general election, taking as a
basis the vote for governor.
The returns show that the Demo-
cratic party cast six thousand votes
less than it did for president in
1912. While in ordinary times there
is light vote at the general cleo
ton, a primary nomination by the
Democratic party heretofore being
considered equivalent to an election,
the dropping off in the party vote
is accounted for by the split which
took place over the election of a
governor.
The Independent Prohibitions,
party cast 3S,927 votes, electing its
candidate RIO governor. In 1912 the
Prohibitionist party in this State
cast 1854 votes for president, which
this year, of course, went to the
Prohibitionist candidate for COVER

MEDITATION

Holy Spirit has given US in the Cos ,,
pels four marvellous pictures OF the
Son of Man. The Spirit picked out
from all those who knew the Man OF
Galilee the four who had the artistic
soul and inspired them to paint won
derful word pictures OF Jesus. Eacn
saw Him from a different stand point.
Each gives us different view OF the
many-sided Jesus. Luke draws Him
as the Son of Man, our fellow. He
saw Him as He walked and talked
among men, as He associated with the
sinners of that day. He sets Him
forth as one of us, man with feiiow
feeling for us. If there were time Ia
like to study with you this picture in
detail. Luke's is the gospel OF JOY
with four great songs in the first two
chapters and closing with the great
ioy with which the disciples returned
Jerusalem after His resurrection. But
nv thought is to call attention to Him
whom Luke sets forth rather than to
the peculiarities of his gospel.
Here Jesus is seen as a baby, as
boy in the Temple and hint is given
us of how He discharged the duties
of his humble life in Nazareth. His
compassionate heart is shown as He
stops the funeral train at the gate OF
Main and gives the only son back to
the sorrOwing mother. His character
is set forth as the Good Samaritan in
that wonderful parable of the 10th
ichapter, followed Immediately by the
. glimpse we get of Him as friend In
the home of the two sisters at Beth

Yesterday afternoon the Meditation
was conducted by Rev. F. M. Baldwin, !
of Tampa, who said:
Meditation means thinking and
thinking and then more thinking. !!
Christian meditation is not thinking
about any old thing but about Jesus
Christ, the only one really worth
knowing. The true philosophy of life
is not knowing self but Jesus, our Saw
ior and God Mary. rather than Mar
tina, had the secret of living. She sat
at the feet of the Divine Man and
studied Him. If we are to discharge
our duty as Sunday School workers
we must follow her example. Sit at
His feet and learn Him. This should
be daily habit both for our own
growth and also that we may teach
others. We are to be the agents OF
God in the transformation Of others.
Therefore we must ourselves be trans
formed by the knowledge of the
Christ. If He is born in us the hope
lof Glory then we can transmit Him to
those whom we seek to benefit, and
not otherwise.

TEN REASONS ASSIGNED BY INDEPENDENTS,
PROGRESSIVES AND REPUBLICANS FOR
SUPPORTING WILSON.

President Wilson has kept the United States out
of the most terrible war in the History of the World
Patiently enduring criticism and abuse from hotheads
and partisans he has asserted the essential rights of
American Citizens without sacrificing the lives of
American Soldiers.
I shall vote for Mr.. Wilson because of all the
worlds statesmen he has been most successful in
ing his country believe that vote against him is
| vote against the best interest of America.
It cannot be denied that this is one of the most
critical periods in the worlds history Neither it
be denied that the United States has been pros
porous or so powerful should feel myself migrate
or fool if failed to sustain administration that
had brought safely through such perlous days.
Under ordinary circumstances I should vote for
Mr.. Hughes, but dare not risk change of pilots in
these critical times when prosper greatly while
the other powers deuged in debt and death. The
United States is prosperous under Wilson than
any nation has ever been in the history of the world
Wilson fnessed the United States into the enviable
position Of holding the balance of world power and my
admiration and gratitude is such that would vote for
him against any American living or dead.
