TS HE presidential contest Of 1916
will go down as one of the
closest and most bitterly fought
battles Of ballots in the history
of the United States. Not alone was
President Wilson reelected by very
small margin, but the election once
more proved the truth of the popular
assertion that every vote counts
How close the popular vote was in
many states may best be judged by
recalling that New Hampshire, at first
placed in the Republican column, was
later claimed to be in the Democratic
column and that the Democrats assert
ed they had won in that state by less
than 200 votes. New Hampshire again
returned to the Republican column by
a small margin and still later was call
ed doubtful.
The Congress Situation.
It is asserted that President Wilson
will have trouble in dealing with the
Sixty-ffth congress. The returns indi-
cate that, while his party will control
the senate by a majority of twelve, it
may not control the house. There are
435 seats, and it will take 21S to con-
troll that body. The Democrats appear
to have elected 215 and the Republic
ans 211. Five seats are in doubt and
there is one Socialist, one Independent
one Progressive and one PrOtectionist.
The Democrats on the face Of the
returns have a plurality and can elect
a speaker unless the Representatives Of
the minor parties combine with the
Republicans. A fight for the speaker
ship between the two parties may take
place. It will be the first time since
before the civil war.
In the upper branch Republicans
gained one senator each in New York,
New Jersey. Maryland and Ohio and
two in Indiana, where Thomas Tag
CART, the Democratic leader of the
state, went down to defeat.
Notable among the senators elect
are Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota,
who prosecuted the Standard Oil COM
pany, and Philander G. Knox Of Penn
sylvania, who was secretary Of state
under Taft.

UGLY GIRLS HAVE AN INNING

New York, Oct. 5.-The general be-
lief that every girl thinks herself
beautiful was shattered to. smither-
eens today, when a veritable brigade
OF femininity lined up at Madison
Square Garden in response to an ad-
vertisement for "the ugliest girl in
New York" The girl who was homely
and knew it was wanted by the Print
ers' Supply Salesmen's guild to lead
the grand march at the annual ball of
the organization. There were appli-
cants a-plenty, but disappointment
was in store for the crowd that assem-
bled with the expectation of seeing
feminine homeliness en- masse. There
may be girls in New York with eyes
that refuse to do team work, elbows
that approach the felonious, ears that
flap in the wind, and ankles that are
not entitled to the name. But they
did not show up in response to the ad-
vertisement for the "ugliest girl"
Those who did appear would pass
muster in any crowd and if they are
a sample of the homeliest, then Father
Knickerbocker has good reason to be
proud Of his girls.

BOARD OF TRADE
TO Be KEPT OPEN

Hereafter the Beard of Trade rooms
on Tarpon avenue will be open all day
throughout the winter season.
A register will be opened for Wis
itors,, and such products as are pro-
duced in this vicinity that our citi-
zens may care to display, will be kept
on exhibition.
j. A. Lutz will have charge of the
rooms, and will distribute folders and
other literature descriptive of Tarpon
Springs.
1t is expected to provide for the ex-
pense of keeping the room open and
attending to such duties in that con-
nection as may be necessary, by pop
ular subscription.
This is a wise move and will no
doubt be joined in heartily by all those
who have the good of the city at heart.
Tarpon Springs will have many Wis
itors this winter and a place of this
character where they can obtain in
formation without trouble, and de-
|seriptive matter, will no doubt be ap-
preciated by them.

THIRTY FOUR GOVERNORS
ARE TO BE ELECTED

Washington, D. c., Oct. 5.-In thir-
ty-four states governor and all, or
nearly all the elective state officers ar
to be chosen ah the elections which
take place four weeks from next
Tuesday. The elections will differ no
ticeably from those of 1912 and 1914,
inasmuch as the disappearance of the
progressivas as an. organized party
leaves the republicans and democrats
to fight for tie state offices as was
tn case BEIGE the birth of the So
called third party. The prohibition
and socialist parties have named can.
didates for the principal offices in
many of the states, and in some of the
states there are several minor tickets
in the field. Ip all the states, howev-
.er, it's regarded as a practical Ger.
tainty that the new governors and
other principal officers will be either
democrats or republicans.

advantages of a room indoors which
he expects to pay for at regular
rate. He could locate in the country,
but prefers generally to avail himself
of the advantages of the business Sec
ton of some city. The license is the
accepted charge which the city makes
for the advantage of its business Sec
tion and the payment of his license is
his acknowledgement that he expects
to partake Of these advantages.
Oftentimes legitimate business is
made improbable by transient compe-
tition. This is true with the profess
sional man as with the merchant, or
the drayman or numerous other pur-
suits. The municipal license is good
protection to our local business men
and should be considered their friend.
In order that this last named bene-
fit may be fully enjoyed every estab-
lished business should take out their
license when licenses are due, thereby
opening the way to the city officials to
Immediately deal with transient busi-
nesses which seek to take our money
and evade the license. -

st. Pete Candidate for Governor Given
Liberty by Justice of Peace
in Jacksonville

Noel A. Mitchell, of st. Petersburg:

pendent ticket, who was arrested in
Jacksonville recently on a warrant
sworn out by Otto Barth, who runs
an automobile line, charging him
with issuing a worthless check, was
released when arraigned before Just
ice of the Peace John w. DuBose. Mr..
Mitchell made good the amount Of
the check and explained that it was is
sued by mistake, Mr.. Mitchell having
been under the impression that he had
sufficient funds in the bank to cover it.
In discussing the incident, Mr.. Barth
denied the charge made by Mr.. Mitch
ell recently that his arrest was inspir-
ed by political animosity. Mr.. Barth
declared he was not interested in the
political situation, but merely wanted
to get the money that was due him.

COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD CHANGES
MEETING. DAY

At the meeting of the county school
board yesterday plans were completed
for the sale of the Largo agricultural
school bonds on November IA. 1t is
thought that there will be several bid
ders, and that the bonds will bring a
good price. 1t is expected that at the
time of the sale of the bonds parties
who have land to offer for the location
of the agricultural farm school will
submit propositions. "1
The board decided to change its
monthly meeting dates from the first
Tuesday in each month to the second
Tuesday. One reason for this was that
occasionally the first Tuesday falls on
thelfrst day of the month, and incon-
venience is created; as, for instance
when warrants are to be issued te
pay bills at a meeting held on the first
day of the month, parties to whom
the money is due no not always get il
their bills promptly, and may be de
layed in getting their money until th'
fsllowing monthly meeting. By hold
ng monthly meetings on the secon'
Tuesday there viii be plenty of tim
for all parties to get in their first o
the month bills and have them approx
ed and ordered paid.
THE board also decided that it wouiG
make official visits to all the schools
in the county between now and Christ

charge two little children, boy three

asks some charitably disposed family
in this city to take care of for a few
weeks until some permanent arrange

The following is from the Clearws-

Anclote river bridge bids for

this action, but the opening of

illegal. All bids were returned
to bidders. AS soon as the plans

structed to advertise for bids to

LICENSE IS A PROTECTION
TO LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
BUSINESS CANNOT LEGALLY CONDUCTED
-W TO THE CLERKS OFFICE
AND SETTLE A.

All municipal occupation licenses for
the year 1916-17 of the City of Tar
pom Springs, were due last Monday.
No business which is licensed busi-
ness, whether professional or other
wise, can be legally carried on without
a license.
The business mans license is mu-
tual benefit serving purposes to the
city and to the individual which are
essential to the commercial welfare of
the community. An important part
of the revenue, in the neighborhood of
IL per cent, Of the city of Tarpon
Springs is derived from the licensing
of occupations. The city has large
obligations which must be met year
after year in some way or another. If
the revenue from one source fails the
deficit will be made up from another
source thereby working an injustice on
someone who is already doing his
share. The benefit to the city is ev-
ident. The benefits of licenses to the
individual are just as evident when
we stop to consider what they are. A
mans business is his means of acquir-
ing substance and accumulating
wealth. Some things are always ne
cessary by way of preparation for the
actual transactions. The merchant

Only Two Bids Were Made First Time
and They Were Rejected. The Plans
and Specifications for the Bridge Were
Not Before the Board at Their Meeting
Tuesday and This Necessitated Delay

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners last Tuesday the plans and
specifications for the building of
bridge across the Anclote river at Tar
pom Springs was not before this aug
ust body and therefore the project has
been delayed for the second time.
Who is responsible for this second
failure we hesitate to say, as from
past controversies regarding RESPONSE
bilities for roads being built which do
not comply with the specifications and
terms of the contract it seems to be
a very difficult matter to place respon-
sibility on any one for any thing done
in Pinellas county. 1t. may be that
the county's business affairs just run
themselves and that no one is respon-
sible. However, the fact remains that
the prospect of getting a bridge across
the Anclote river here is no brighter
than it was two months ago.
The Leader has been informed by
responsible parties that requests made
to the county clerk for plans and spe-
cifcations by prospective bidders were
not furnished for the reason that the
clerk did not have the plans in his pos
session and hence could not comply.
Of course these prospective bidders
could not bid and were effectively
barred from competing for the privi-
lege of bidding on the bridge.

NATIONAL PAY-UP
NOW IN PROGRESS
OCTOBER z TO I

National Pay-Up Week, which is an
nounced for October 2 to z, is to be
truly national in scope, as thousands
communities in every section of the
United States from one coast to the
other and from the north line to the
Gulf of Mexico will take part in 1t.
During this week the energy of mill
liohs of people will be centered upon
passing busy dollars around, cleaning
up old debts, starting in anew ami
prosperity will certainly result from
it.
If we turn into the channels of
business the millions of dollars that
we all owe each other so that we. car
again use the dollars to buy more
things we need, every man who is sup
plying a need will prosper. The farm
er can make no money if there is. none
to buy his surplus products. AS the
farmer prospers, all prosper. AS the
other commercial interests of the
country prosper, the farmer prospers.
We must all look to each other. for our
living. That is the object Of National
pay up week, and you can help and
you can be helped if you will pay up
during this week.
Don't make any mistake in the plan.
The idea is not that you pay me so
can pay the other fellow, but I'll pay
you and you pay the other fellow. If
we all take it upon ourselves to start
the ball rolling we can have real
rousing pay-up week right here. If we
wait for the other fellow to pay upAi it
might not be so much of a succa las
it should be.
While the merchants of Aurelia
have not taken the initiative in joining
together in this national movement
and calling the attention of it to t--s .e
who are indebted to them, ye' shey
WILDE glad to have all who are owing
them drop in and help pass prosperity
around. Just try it and realize the
power Of moving dollar.
Altogether now, let's pay up all
those little or big accounts that have
been slipping our minds for some
time.
Winfield, Iowa, carried on an expert.
ment during the first national pay-ur
week and demonstrated to the great
surprise of the committee which had
it in charge what one five dollar bill
will do when it is kept moving paying
up debts. This five dollar bill is to be
used only for payment of accounts
Accept it and go at once and pay some
one else. Sign your name so we can
see how many dollars in accounts il
will pay in one week." At the end
of the week the bill was found, the
names counted and to the surprise OF
the committee, fifty-eight names had
been signed, showing that the total
debts paid were $4,000. This shows
what money will do when it is kept
in circulation and also demonstrates
the Importance of National Pay-Up
week as time when accounts are
squared and states wiped clean for a
new start.-Ex.
