Do Railroads
Discriminate
Against South?

"The railroads make a SIS rate
from southern points to Chicago,
but why is it that they don't make
SIS rates from Chicago to the
south 2"
The speaker was A. Weinfeld, a
business man of New Orleans, at
the San Carlos hotel for a few
days.
Mr.. Weinfeld was interested in
The Journals editorial of few
days ago, regarding making PEN
sacola tourist point.
eff Pensacola, Mobile, New Or
leans and a few of the other cities
would just get the same winter
rates from the north that the north
gets from the south, for just two
seasons, the influx of people here
would be remarkable, said Mr..
Weinfeld. "Northerners coming
down here and seeing people work
ing in their shirt sleeves, playing
golf, fishing and boating in mid
winter, it would be a revelation!
have never yet understood what
is the matter with railroads in not
putting on these rates"
AS Mr.. Weinfeld added, many of
the people who come as tourists
will buy property and stay here.
In the meantime, he has pro-
posed very interesting WHY.

St Louis, June 11.-Forerunners of
one thousand and ninety-two dele

and Marshall at the Democratic
national convention areNarriving here
tonight with a slogan of peace,
Prosperity and Preparedness" The
convention will hold its first session
at noon Wednesday.
The national committee tomorrow
VIII take up the contest over six
seats from the District Of Columbia,
and also contests over the national
committeeman from Texas and the
District Of Columbia. Every dele
gate is either instructed for or COM
mitted to Wilson, and while probably
few votes will be cast for favorite
sons as vice-president, party leaders
predict these names will be with
drawn and Marshall as well as Wilson
VIII be nominated by reclamation.

OF the Democratic party, and while
there might be a fight if we met in
Europe there viii certainly be nc
fight here" said National Chairman
McCoombs tonight.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, arrived
tonight, bringing what was said to
be draft Of the party platform with
its main planks siketched by Wilson.
Stone is slated to be chairman Of the
resolutions committee, and it is un-
derstood the committee will put Will
sons ideas on certain planks in q
written form and use the planks on
preparedness and foreign policy just
as Wilson wrote them.
Suffragists are here to make 6
fight, but it is understood the Dem.
ocrats will take a position similar Il
the Republicans and declare in prin
ciple for suffrage, but leave it to the
states.
Leaders do not expect a fight OF
prohibition.
There were unconfirmed reports to
night that Bryan made a fight on The
preparedness plank, but as Bryan il
not a delegate he would have to ge
the unanimous consent of a thous
and and ninety-two delegates to ad
dress the convention and could no
occupy a seat on the floor unless h,
got a proxy of delegate and alter
nate.

A dUer Using, a

It is productive of results that are
satisfying, and the church needs this
sort of publicity just as any other

opinion of Rev. |. E. Phillips, at the
Knox Presbyterian church, yesterday
morning, in the course of a sermon
which was heard with interest by a
fair-sized congregation.
At the night service, the same min

'EWoman's Suffrage" from the stand

number present were highly inter.
ested in the conclusions which he
drew from the story or Christ and
the woman at the well, and in the
story of Christ and the two sisters
Mary and Martha. He said that the
emancipation of woman had its very
first inception from those scenes en-
acted so many centuries ago, and h
maintained that when the woman
does the mans work, she should have

This sums up the power of the type
Of battle cruiser to be added to Uncle
Sans navy when the congressional
program is carried out. There viii be
five or more of them.
The United States is the only big
naval power today that does not pos
sess one of these swift sea monsters.
For several years this country has
hesitated, still welded to the battle
hip and the dreadnaught. Meantime,
England, Germany and Japan have
built fleets of these new naval terrors
and America has been left far be-
hind.
Now, however, we are going to
make up for lost time. The five ships
already authorized by congress will
outsteam and probably outshoot any
thing now afloat.
They will be six knots an hour fas-
ter than anything of their class in
either the British or German navies
and 20 per cent larger than any first
class fighting craft known to have
been projected up to the opening OF

Mr.. Fred Hilpert, Jr.,

Dear Sir:
Upon arrival In the city exam
ined the fire department motor truck
and found it firing on three cylind-
ers on the megneto and three cylind-
ers on the battery. On changing
megnetos found the same condition.
In further testing out, found that the
fault was short circuit from coil to
dash. On insulating the coil from
the dash the trouble was remedied.
The carburetor was also getting too
rich a mixture. which I adjusted.
Aside from this found nothing wrong
and the machine has been given good
care With these faults fixed, think
the Keolluk fire department will have
no further cause for complaint, and
the truck will give satisfactory sew

might also add that we have CIV
en- the machine a thorough active

KOPP WITHDRAWS
FROM THE PRIMARY
Will Not be Candidate for the Con-
gressionaI Nomination From
First District.

To the Republicans of the First Con-
gressional District
When I became a candidate for the
republican nomination, l made my APP
peal to the whole party, irrespective
of past differences Many republi-
cans of all factions gave me their
earnest and loyal support. Standpat-
tiers and progressives have been
equally jealous and active in my be-
hall
A point has now been reached in
the campaign where the logic Of the
situation calls for but two candidates.
Those in favor of Mr.. Thorne desire
to vote for him, untrammeled by 9TH
er candidates, and those opposed to
Mr.. Thorne desire to concentrate up
on one man. If this situation is to
be solved, a candidate must offer the
solution.
I cannot be unmindful of the large
number of republicans, representing
all shades Of opinion, who want but
two candidates Their desire is en-
titled to serious and respectful con,
sideration. While l do not believe
that in fairness and justice, am the
one that should eliminate himself
yet in Difference to the prevailing sen,
timent for bat two candidates, l have
decided to simplify the situation, and
withdraw from She contest. If, In
doing this, am yielding too much. l
can only invoke the considerate judy
ment Of my friends.
Having been candidate myself. it
would not be proper for me to take
any further part in the primary cam
paign. Different elements have sup
ported me and the confidence Of all
must and will be respected. l leave
my supporters absolutely free to fol
low their individual preferences.
I am thankful to all who have been
interested in my candidacy. I am
greatly indebted to che republicans OF
my home county, who have given me
such generous and whole-hearted sup
port. I do not owe less to many re-
publicans from the other counties
who have aided and assisted me in
every way possible. l am deeply
grateful to all.
I was anxious for the nomination,
but l assure you that l am as good
a republican now as if l were to be
the nominee. No disappointment can
lessen my affection for the republi
can party.
