PRESIDENT WILSON AND
SECRETARY McADOO PLAN
y COMMERCIAL ALLIANCE

The International High commission
which began it's first formal session
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last Mon
day represents the fruition of one of
the most far-reaching and important
of the many achievements of the
Wilson administration.
: 1t is a business meeting of deIega-
tons from the United States and all
the Independent nations of Central
and South America. The respective
delegations form the High commits
sion which was created by the Pan.
American Financial conference in
Washington last May. The Financial
conference was assembled upon the
call of the President and Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo. Their agrees
sive action then led to the adoption
by the conference of a c1ear-cut pro-
gramme towards securing. closer COM
mercia1, economic and financial re-
lations between the United States and
the Pan-American countries.
The United States delegation to, or
Section of the High commission, is
headed by Mr.. McAdoo. Its member
ship includes John Bassett Moore for
ner counsellor of the State Depart
ment and acknowledged authority up
on International law; John H. Fahey,
former president of the. u. S. Cham
Der of Commerce.; E. H. Gary, chair
man of the board, q. S. Steel corpora
ton; and Paul M. Warburg, of the
Federal Reserve Board.
The U. S. members went to Buenos
Aires upon the U. S. S. Tennessee.
From the Tennessee, while off the
coast of Brazil, Mr.. McAdoo wireless
ed the following statement of the pur-
posesof the Buenos Aires meeting:
'tFor a generation conflicting laws
and vexatfous local regulations have
prevented full development of COM
nercia1, financial and social inter
course between the United States and
Central and South America
EVERY Pau-American conference
during the past twenty years has re-
cognized these difficulties. If they
can be removed tremendous impulse
will be given to wholesome expansion
of the foreign commerce of the United
States and to the internal development
of Latin-America.
''The International High commits
sion is the first distinctly practical
organization for the achievement of
results along the subject of discussion
and debate but still remaining largely
within the realm of theory. I feel
confident that we shall reach accept
able conclusions at the Buenos Aires
meeting and that concrete, valuable
results will follow through the excel
lent organization now perfected.

cialist ticket straight at the coming
election. These are my reasons:

Ciples of sOcialism-that every work.
ing man and woman should receive
the full value of the product of his or
her labor; public ownership of public
utilities and natural resources; the
abolition of the profit system.
1 am tickled with the conduct of
the two Socialists in the city council.
While I refuse to bind myself for
life to support any particular creed
or party, l am going to be with the
Socialist party as long as it adheres
in practice to the principles which it
prOclaims. I am afraid to trust a
good man of another party who
has no WeIl-defned ideals before him.
The best of men may go wrong, and
individually an independent" alder
man can accomplish little; unity Of
principle means unity of action, and
the more Socialists represent us the
sooner will our aims be realized.
1 decline throwing my vote away
by voting for something I do not
want. If the Socialist nominees in
my ward are not elected, the more
votes they get the easier it will be to
elect them next time, and have the
patience to wait while striving for
the ultimate victory.
I am thrilled with the democratic
ideals and the spirit of brotherhood
that animates the Socialists I know,
as manifested in social gatherings
and in their ward branch meetings
and in their UnreWarded service in
fUrthering campaigns. Iwant to cast
my lot with them; to work with them;
to hope and to enthuse and to cheer
with them. want to be one Of the

WaIrus Ate Itself to Death.

Ephraim, huge walrus at the New
York geological park, has died of
sheer laziness, superinduced by the
most voracious appetite ever pos
sessed by any animal. 1t was caught
near Etah, Greenland, by Paul Rainey,
and was presented to the park four
years ago. At that time he weighed
149 pounds, but he began eating his
way to an early death on the day he
arrived. Eating was a continuous per-
Torrance with Ephraim until he be-
came SO fat that it panied him to
move, He weighed 500 pounds on
the day OF his death. In the last four
mcnths his weight increased at the
rate of half a pound a day.

HOW TO VOTE AND HOW THE VOTES WILL Be COUNTED

Editor Star: For the information
of the voters of the county and espe-
cially for the inspectors of the COM
ing primary election, l herewith pre-
sent a diagram showing how the first
and second choice votes should be tai
lied. The diagram or form here pre-
sented is the only one to be used in
this election for second choice votes,
SO / viii not mention the other one
lest it cause confusion. / desire to
impress upon the inspectors the
absolute necessity of a correct tally
of the votes this year in order that
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-05-29

no mistakes viii be made, and that
each candidate will get credit for
every vote cast for him, whether it
be first or second choice vote. In
order to do this the inspectors must
decide while the ballot is before them
for which candidate the first choice
vote is cast and place the tally on the
left of his name, and the second choice
vote TO the right and opposite said
candidates name, and under the can
didate's name for whom it was cast.
I want to say to the inspectors that
the law forbids the county canvassing
board to alter or vary the returns

made by the inspectors, so you will
therefore see the Importance of study
ing this diagram and posting your
selves in regard to it. In addition to
the information here given the in
spectors at each polling place win
find additional information in each
ballot box, which, if carefully follow
ed will prevent any mistake or error.
Where there is one candidate to be
nominated and three or more are
running the form here given will be
used. In this form the votes have
been tailed out just as they would
be tailed in actual use.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-05-29

There are three candidates to be
voted for and only one can be nomi-
mated. It is required to so tally the
vote as to show the number of first
choice votes secured by each candi-
date and for which other candidate
these voters cast their second choice
votes.
You will notice that the names of
the candidates are perpendicularly
arranged and in alphabetical order as
to surnames. They will appear this
way on the ballot and the tally book,
which will be sent to the inspectors

You will also notice that of the DO
voters who cast first choice votes for
C, 20 cast second choice votes for B,
and you add these 20 second choice
votes to BIS As first choice votes,
thus giving him 65 votes or five less
than A, consequently A is nominated.

actly with the ballot.
Example: If first choice vote is
cast for A and no second choice is ex-
pressed, there should be one tally to
