NEW BULL PROPAGANDA

There was enough anxiety over the

tlonary liquidation In cotton after the

The close was somewhat irregular. with
NE May option showing a decline Of .
points. while the later positions were un-
changed 10 a point or so higher.
This is the first notice day for May
contracts and estimates Of deliveries
range all the way from "a few hundred
bales to 10000 bales. There seems TO
be no particular reason for expecting
heavy tenders, unless the operation
should be OF a purely technical character,
with a view TO shaking out weak holders
and getting the cotton back. The certif-
Gated stock as of April II was "A little
more thar $1,000 bales and the grade
averaged better than low middlinz. The
New York warehouse stock now amount
&c about 10000 bales. and the charac-
Ter OF the uncertiicated cotton Is said to
average fully as high in grade as the
cer,ihcated. ON the basis OF present
prices In the South 1t would be impos-
sble to make sales Of contracts and de-
liver cotton so that 1t would show u
profit on the operation.

Profitable Delay.

There are times when a delay IN Sc
curing facilities for the shipment OF a
concerns products proves profitable rath-
er than otherwise. This Is said to have
been true In the case OF the Cuba Cane
Sugar Corporation. which Of late has
had some difficulty Of getting sufficient
shipping facilities to carry Its crop to
market. However. sugar has advanced
practically one cent per pound during the
past week, which would mean an add!-
tional proft of about $4,000, 600 on the
company's crop of something over o.
400, 900 bags. The Cuba Cane Sugar
Corporation had already sold more than
so per cent. of its crop and, assuming
that the delay I'm getting shipping facil-
tiles has affected only % per cent. of the
crop. the increase in value to the cor
poration is around $2,500,0 200.

"No Catholic Party

TAMPA Tribune: eve want nc
Catholic party in this country" said
Bishop Fickey, of Rochester, N. Y.
before convention of $4,000 members
Of various Catholic societies assem-
hled in New York. And the state
ment was greeted with signs Of i'm
mense satisfaction and agreement by
his audience.
That is the proper spirit. It was
expressed more definite later in this
resolution. adopted by the Catholic
federation:
eve oppose the election of any can
didate for public office who socilists
suurort because of his religious affili-
ations. and we earnestly solicit the
support of all patriotic Americans to
ioin with us in opposing any party
faction or individual who violates the
constitution of the United States by
anDlying the religious test to any can
didaes for public positions"
We want no Catholic party, no Pro
testant party, no Jewish party, nc
Mormon party. We want no German
party nor Irish party nor Scandina-
Wan party. What we want is ma
ton of Americans who line up fol
politics according to their best iudg,
ment of the needs of the country as
a whole. More and more of that we
are getting. And that is what We
continuously and decidedly demand.

Jefferson Farmers Buy Purebre
Hogs.

Jefferson county farmers have MAD
a discovery. You have often hear
how much money one could save II b
did not have to spend so much. Wei
Jefferson county farmers propose
save some of the money which the
have been spending uselessly. Thel
is a great deal of expense in haryes
ing and marketing crops. Furthe
more the market will pay a -blggf
price for a finished product than Tor
raw product. Consequently the:
Jefferson farmers are going into III
manufacturing business.
They are buying hogs, pureeG3Ft
hogs, too, with which to harvest the
raw products and thru which they e
pect to market those same prCGnnc ns
as meat. The hog makes a good s aa
vesing machine and when he Is N. M

eral times it's original value: fa !.

Father Sidney J. Cats is call
ing public attention to the fact
that of all the votes recounted
neither Hudson, Wood, Cats or
Farris has gained a single vote.
All the gains have been for Knott,
and yet Father Cats thinks that
is very strange coincident.-
Arcadia Enterprise.
When "Father" Cats made that
statement he must have known that
he was uttering a deliberate false
hood, for no man in Florida has kept,
through his attorneys and otherwise,
closer tab on the recounts than this
same Cats. In Duval county Mr..
Cats lost one 1st choice vote and
gained five I'd choice votes; in Ham
ilton county he lost one 1st choice
and gained four I'd choice votes; in
Jackson county he lost one 1st choice
and gained one I'd; in Leon county he
gained one I'd choice; in st. Lucie
county Cats lost one 1st choice and
gained II I'd choice; in Suwanee
county he lost five 1st choice and
gained seven I'd choice. In this con-
test nothing is said concerning the
gains of Farris, Hudson and Wood for
the reason that their gains do not
matter, and yet only last week, We'd
nesday, September 9Th, the Florida
Metropolis of Jacksonville, Cats or
gan, said editorially that "a remarka-
BILE thing about the recount of the
gubernatorial vote in the various pre-
cincts of the State is the gain for Ion
L. Farris for Governor. In. Duval
county alone Farris gained as many
as thirty votes on the second count in
some of the smaller precincts. There
are many of the opinion that he would
have shown a larger per cent of gains
on the recounts than any of the other
candidates" Thus is Mr.. Cats state
ment shown to be false by one of his
own organs. Mr.. Knott's gain in the
various counties of 452 is total net
gain over Mr.. Cats, and the gain is
in about the same proportion as his
gains on second choice votes over
Cats were shown to be in the original
tally sheets. But Cats! Anything
goes with Cats.

ORGANIZING FARMERS
Union IN FLORIDA.

Never before in the history of the
world has the strength of cooperative
movements been so strikingly demon
strated as it is today. More's the
pity that this lesson should be driven
homes to us by the destructive war
of Europe. but out of evil comes good
and the future will probably see world
wide constructive movements for the
benefit of humanity on as gigantic
scale as the awful human sacrifice
destroying so much of the splendid
manhood of Europe.
At home we see examples of the
benefits of cooperation and one Of the
most praiseworthy of these is the
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
Union of America which will hold its
national convention in Palatka begin
ming Tuesday November q of this
wear. To the farmers of Putnam
county the Union is bringing the bles-
sings of cooperation for already it has
gained great strength in this section
and it promises to extend its good
work throughout the State, bringing
with it aid to the farmers in the ben
efts that come with cooperative pur-
chasing of the supplies they need and
what is more necessary the profitable
marketing of the crops they produce.
Extending the right hand of fellow
ship and helping your brother to sue
cessfullv overcome his difficulties is
the real spirit of cooperation and in
no other state is it more needed than
in Florida Here are gathered peo-
pie from all the states of the Union
who have been attracted by the ad
vantages that Florida offers to the
men and women who earnestly wish
to improve their condition in life and
who are willing to eXpend the energy
and intelligence and apply the persis-
tency that are needed in any part of
the world to make a success.
With her 36,000,000 millions Of
acres, and so few under cultivation,
Florida offers to the newcomer prob
lens that are unusual to the people
in the more settled sections of the
country and for that reason the spirit
of cooperation has more promising
field here than in almost any other
state, and the Farmers Union of Am
erica coming with its teachings and
demonstrations of brotherly love and
mutual helpfulness is bringing a bles-
sing upon the state that will leave
lasting benefit for the spiritual and
material benefit of the people of Flori-
da
The entire state will join with the
city of Palatka in extending a hearty
welcome to the delegates of the
Farmers Union of America who are
coming from thirty-eight states to
take home with them a message of
brotherly love from the land of flow
ers and perpetual sunshine, and mes
sage of welcome to all those who have
not been so fortunate as to know the
delights of living in Florida to come
and experience the hospitality that
awaits them here.

My dear Mr.. Uric

In your Mondays communication to
local paper | note that "you are a
very busy man." and l have thought
that perhaps your activities were such
as to keep you from properly inform
ing yourself regarding some matters
in which you essay to teach, which is
hardly fair to your pupils.
Let me call your attention to one
of these matters.
Your Kehoe VS.. Mays case, for in
stance.
You say: "I have looked up this
case and find the Court refused to go
into the ballot boxes at Kehoe's re-
quest" And you remark that "Mr.
Gets Is entitled to tire same treat
r,Gnt as Mr.. Mays"
Now in reference to this case which
you say you Cooked up" permit me
to say that if there is such a case as
Kehoe VS.. Mays reported in the Su-
preme Court Reports of Florida, I
have failed to find it. The case to
which you evidently refer is that of
D'Alemberte ct al VS.. State ex rel
Mays, which was decided by the Su-
preme Court of Florida October %,
1908, and which is found on pages 1852
ct sea- of Sc Florida, and pages 4S9
of AZ Southern Reporter.
In this case Mr.. Mays sought by
mandamus proceedings to compel the
Congressional Canvassing Committee
to issue to him a certificate of nomi-
nation as Congressman. Mr.. Kehoe
had been given a certificate of nomi-
nation as Congressman by the Con-
gressional Canvassing Committee.
If Mr.. Uric will again carefully
Cook up" this case he will find that
nowhere in the case is there a word
line or sentence which warrants his
statement that "the court refused to
90 into the ballot boxes" THIS
QUESTION WAS NOT IN ANY
MANNER PRESENTED TO THE
COURT. The court was not request
ed to require recount of the ballots.
As to that part of your letter
in which you invite me to cite you
to book and page where the Su-
preme Court of Florida has ever gone
into the ballot boxes to determine
what the true result of an election
was, I beg to advise Mr.. Uric that
this particular question has never be-
fore been presented to the Supreme
Court of Florida, so far as l know or
can learn; and therefore, the court
could not have been called upon to
announce its views upon this point.
But for your benefit, Mr.. Uric, and
all others interested in the controver-
sy, will say that precedent for our
courts recurring a recount of the bal
lots IS FOUND IN EVERY LAW
BOOK ON THE QUESTION OF
ELECTIONS.
In the case of Newhouse VS.. Alex
ander, an Oklahoma case, reported in
80 L. R. A. Ms, at page 6O2, the Su-
preme Court of Oklahoma in 1909 up
held the action of a trial court where
the trial court went into the ballot
box, took the votes out and counted
them to determine who had received
the highest number of votes in the
election, and awarded the office of
Judge to the contestant therefor, al
though on the face of the returns as
made by the inspectors of election, his
opponent had received the higher
number of votes. In this case the
Oklahoma court held that where bal
lots are preserved so that their iden.
tity is assured, they can be counted

Democrats should not lose heart
over republican success in Maine last
Monday. Maine is nominally a rock
ribbed republican stronghold-just as
surely republican as Florida has been
democratic since 1876. To be sure
Wilson carried the state four years
ago, but by a plurality vote-he had
more votes than either Taft or Roose-
welt, republican and progressive can
didates respectively, although the to-
tai of their vote then was more than
the total republican vote last Tuesday.
Remember this, that the democratic
vote last Tuesday was big gain over
former presidential year votes. Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the national
democratic committee is reading
Wilson victory in this Maine vote.
Heretofore Maine has, in presidential
years, given republican majorities
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. This
year the republican majority is said
to be about 10000.
