Who are the boys and girls who are

Who are the boys and girls who are

tage in life of having gained the conf

from doing things for themselves?
Who are the boys and girls who are
going to be seriously handicapped
through life because they have not
gained the above advantage?
Who are the parents in this eommun-
ity who have not encouraged their boys
and girls to undertake these worth

1t is not for the sake Of any prizes at
the fair that these things are OF value,
it is because Of the feelings Of satisfac-
ton and the stimulating consciousness
of having conquered a job with his own
powers.
Any parent who unnecessarily helps
his boy or girl, whether 1t be in boys

is depriving that boy or,girl OF an op-

THE REAL EFFECT OF A SECOND CHOICE
VOTE UNDER THE FLORIDA PRIMARY

A great number Of voters believe
that they weaken or lessen the chance
of their first choice candidate by vot-
ing second choice authorized by our
present primary law.
This is indicated by the fact that
the official state canvass Of the pri-
mary election held in 1914 shows that
only a little more than half of the
voters expressed a second choice.
Under our method of tallying and
canvassing it is impossible for a
voters second choice to lessen or mill
tate against the chances of his first
choice to any degree whatever.
Section so of the primary law pro-
vides as follows
If any candidate for an Office
shall receive majority of first
choice votes he shall be declared
nominated for such Office. IF no
candidate shall receive such ma
jority of first choice votes, then
the nomination for such Office
shall be determined by excluding

from further consideration the
candidacy of all except the two
candidates who shall have re-
ceived the greatest and next to
the greatest number of first
choice votes, or the greatest and
equal number of first choice
votes, and by adding to such first
choice votes of each of said two
candidates the second choice votes
cast for him by those voters
whose first choice votes shall
have been cast for any Of the
candidates excluded as herein
provided.
The portion above seems to
be the least understood Of any part
of the primary law The two candi-
dates receiving the highest number
of votes go into what may be termed
a second primary" In fact, it was
intended for and has the same results
as a second primary, as held under
the primary law of this state prior
to 1913.
We offer the following to sustain
our assertion that the voter to accom-
plish most with his ballot should al
ways vote second choice.
If voters first choice candidate is
eliminated, not being one of the high
est first choice men, the second choice
vote of that voter must be counted
when cast for either of the two mer
in the second primary"
If a voters first and second choice
candidates are in the Second pri
mary" by reason of their being the
two highest first choice men, his sec.
ond choice vote cannot be counted
for the reason that this would per
nit ones second choice vote to canoe
his first choice.
When this condition becomes vel
understood it will undoubtedly cause
better expression as to politica
preference to come from the voters
In fact, the lack of understanding thiI
feature has caused a great number O.
voters to cast only a first choice
thinking that by so doing they helped
their first choice candidate more thar
he would, had be also voted a second
choice. He is in the same attitud,

FEW CANARIES
As EASTER GIFTS
CONSULAR REPORTS GIVE LIT
TIE HOPE FOR THOSE WHO
MAKE PRACTICE OF PRESENT
ING soNGsTERs TO FRIENDS.

Washington, March 25.-Advices
received here in consular reports give
scant hope for those whose usual
custom it is to present canaries for
Easter gifts. Not only will the birds
be scarce this year, but they will be
high priced. The war, of course, is
blamed. English canaries are said to
be plentiful, but 1t Is impossible to
get the German Hartz Mountain and
st. Andreasburg roller canaries. The
English birds have prettier plumage,
but are not as good singers as the
German birds. German canaries
which formerly sold for 81 and 50
will cost $12 and SIS next month.

BEUIAH.

Beulah, March 25.-By all means
put the roads on the section lines
wherever possible as suggested by Mr..
Jos. II. Jones in the paper Of We'd
nesday, March %. A case in point,
for instance, is the Nunez ferry road,
where it crosses section 16, from that
point running west to the corner of
section IL, is a good road "a mail
route), from that point on the sec
ton line running west, it Is about two
and half miles to the Perdido river
at Cory's mill, where the banks are
high on both sides and where they
will have to put the bridge if they
ever build one. It win be at least
three miles shorter than the Nunez
ferry road, as now travelled, and not
near as billy. It is worth looking up.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Barrineau
were in the Deep Water City Tues
day.
Mr.. C. E. and E. L. Snowden came
over from Alabama Sunday to spend
the day with their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. NJ. Snowden.
Mr.. James Snowden is getting along
as well as could be expected. His leg,
which was broken below the knee,
seems to be healing nicely.
This part of West Florida may have
an oil boom in the near future, as
experts who have been looking around
seem to think there is a good chance
for oil in this section.

second choice, making total OF 300
votes, Is nominated.
It is self evident that voter may
lose both his first and second choice
vote, in the event both his first and
second choice are eliminated on the
first choice count. However, there is
nothing new in this fact, for one often
lost his first and second choice candi-
dates under the old primary law.
The most complicated feature under
the primary law of 1913 arose when
canvassing the second choice votes
where two candidates were to be NOM
mated and five or more were running;
for instance, in the counties electing
two members to the house of rep
resentatives. But this perplexing fea-
ture has been eliminated where two
or more are to be nominated by re-
quiring candidates to announce in
group one or two, accordingly as to
the number Of candidates to be nomi-
mated.
Section 8 Of chapter 1914, acts of
1915, amending the Bryan primary
law Of 1918, reads as follows:
Sec. 8. That section So of the
said act be amended so as to
read as follows:
Sec. So. In the event more than
one candidate is to be nominated
for the same Office and there are
more candidates than should be
nominated therefor, there shall be
as many groups of candidates for
that particular Office as there are
candidates to be nominated, and
each candidate for such office, In
addition to the sworn statement
required by section % hereof,
shall indicate therein the group
in which he desires his name to
appear on the ballot, and said
groups shall be numerically des-
ignated. Provided, however, that
candidates for delegates to ma
tional conventions shall not be
nominated by groups, but by a
plurality vote.
The above amendment to section 5;
viii simplify the canvass, as thu
voters in each group will be counted
exactly as in the manner provided
where only one candidate is to bt
nominated.

is put IN the attitude Of not having
any choice as between any two men
left In the race, which the writer con-
tends should be the isolated exception
and not the rule even in a few in
stances.
The tally sheets used at the pre-
cincts are SO arranged that an accu-
rate tabulation and a return thereof
is easily made of all first choice votes
so as to show for whom the same
voters cast their second choice. For
example, the certificate of return,
where there are five candidates for
one Office, when correctly filed out,
shows something like the following:
ID
Two hundred electors voted 200 first
choice votes for A.
And 81 second choice votes for B.
And 66 second choice votes for G.
And a second choice for D.
And So second choice votes for E.

Two hundred fourteen electors voted
voted 214 first choice votes for B.
And 80 second choice votes for A.
And So second choice votes for C.
And AZ second choice votes for D.
And 81 second choice votes for e.
(3)
Two hundred ffty-four electors
voted 254 first choice votes for c.
And II second choice votes for A.
And 1856 second choice votes for B.
And q second choice votes for D.
And 81 second choice votes for E.
az
One hundred one electors voted 101
first choice votes for D.
And 80 second choice votes for A.
And rs second choice votes for B.

One hundred thirty-seven electors
voted 1877 first choice votes for z.
And 80 second choice votes for A.
And Is second choice votes for B.
And "a second choice votes for G.
And Sc second choice votes for D.
As shown above, B and G being the
two candidates receiving the highest
number of first choice votes, are re-
quired to go into the second pri.
mary" This being determined, the
canvassers first eliminate from con.
sideration all the second choice votes
mentioned in ~ and (3), as they arr
not to be counted, and then they must
gather BIS and C's second choice votes
from a., (4) and (5), which may b,
