The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-10-31

Ex-Governor Albert W. Gilchrist has
given out a signed article in which he
explains why all Democrats should
stand by w. v Knott the regular NOM
inee of the party for the office of gov
ernor. The former governor clearly
shows that had the entire state been
recounted Mr.. Knott would have a ma
jority of from 500 TO 1000. Heavy ex-
pense prevented such action by party
nominee. The records show that Mr..
Knott received about three second
choice votes TO one for Mr.. Cats and
this is cited as the reason why Mr..
Knott gained more than did Mr.. Cats
in correction OF the tabulation of
the votes.
Statement BY Gilchrist
Mr.. Gilchrist's statement is as fol-

From week to week, from year to

How Hughes Heard the Returns.

New York, Nov. S.-Charles +. Hughes
and his family received the returns here
last night at the uptown hotel which has
been the Republican nominees headquar,
tiers since his nomination. When the re-
turns began to come in Mr. Hughes was
asleep. He slept until $3.50 o'clock.
Meantime the telegraph instruments in
an adjoining room had been clicking for
two hours and a sheaf of kilograms
showing the trend in New York were
awaiting Mr.. Hughes perusal. The first
message handed TO him told of an an
nouncement by New York paper that
he had carried New York state by $780,
900 plurality. Mr. Hughes smiled.
Mrs. Hughes and their three daugh-
tiers, the Misses Catherine, Elizabeth and
Helen, scanned the returns over Mr..
Hughes shoulder. Presently Charles f.
Hughes, jr., and his wife and daughter
and Colin S. Carter, Mrs. Hughes broth
er, joined the group. Dinner was or
dered the first in months at which the
entire family had been present.
Returns came in faster and dinner was
neglected for time to read them. A
huge electric sign several blocks away
which flashed the returns from New
York divided the family's attention with
the telegraphic reports. They fingered
at dinner until late and the group in the
corridor opposite the telegraph room
heard outbursts of laughter.

Burlington, Nov. I'm what was the
largest total vote in her history, Yer
mont to-day gave to Charles Evans
Hughes, Republican presidential candi-
date. a plurality of nearly 10000 votes
over his Democratic opponent, Woodrow
Wilson. Republican pluraIities have al
ways been larger in every election since
1856, with the exception of 1919, when a
divided party brought down the normal
Republican vote TO virtually half its size.
Att a. m, with the returns in from all
but as Of the a46 cities and towns, the
figures stood: Hughes, 4I,a57; Wilson,
5000, thus giving Hughes plurality of
1927.
At the same hour, Horace F. Graham,
Republican gubernatorial candidate, had
received 10000 votes, to 1866 polled by
William B. Mayo, Democratic state stand
ard bearer
The same cities and towns gave Carroll
S. Page, Republican candidate for re-elee-
ton to the United States Senate, 4r,o27,
against 1898 for Oscar c. Miller, the
Democratic candidate.
The total vote Of Hughes and Wilson,
based on the RETURNS at hand at a. m,
was 64,277, and it was expected that the
figures from the missing towns would
bring this total above the record vote of
64,77S cast in the famous Hayes Wheeler
contest in 1876.
Returns in the contest for state sena-
tor were missing from Addison and Ben

One Way to Kill Malaria.

| We must confess TO being captivated
| by the step taken by the Mississippi
board of health to prevent malaria, as
related by the University of North Caro-
! lima News Letter. We read in this au
thority that lin one of the delta counties
the attempt is being made to prevent HUI
man beings who have the malarial organ
ism in their blood from injecting the ma
larial mosquitoes"
This is, so far as we know, wholly
original idea, and obviously, as anyone
can see, the only proper one from the
humanitarian standpoint. The mosquito
is, as is well known. an entirely harmless
and well meaning, nay useful, insect
when he is not forced to pollute himself
by drinking contaminated human gore.
Not only does he set splendid example
bv his industry but also by the energetic
application of his bill does he stir man
kind from a lethargy which in summer
heat might otherwise overcome 1t utter
ly.
Intensive treatment with quinine is
applied to al malarial persons by the
Mississippi health authorities, the News
Letter states. for the protection of the
MOSQUITO but this seems to US not TO go
far enough. Clearly, malaria carriers, if
they persist in the hapless mosquito pois
oning. should be exterminated. The Tar
Heel health officers evidently have some
such plan in contemplation. and we rec
ommend It to our own Health Commits
sioner Emerson He might as well sting
us to death all at once as permit the
mosquitoes to do it at their leisure. Their
metropolitan activities in summertime
appear not to interest him at all.-New
