KNOTT IS DECLARED
THE FLORIDA CHIEF

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Sept. 21.-W.
Y. Knott was today declared the demo-
cratic nominee for governor of Florida,
the decision being rendered by the
state canvassing board, which met un-
der supreme court order and recan-
yassed the returns of the democratic
primary of June 9Th, including and re-
counting the returns from several pre-
incts, contested at the time of the orig
ilal count and thrown out of the ac-
counting Under the decision of the
canvassing board rendered today,
Knott received majority of 21 votes
over his opponent, Sidney j. Cats.
Following today's decision, Cats an
nounced he intends seeking another
order from the Supreme court to in
clude in the Aluchua county returns
all of the precincts thrown out because
the returns were not signed. If this
be done Cats would then have lead
Of thirty EIGHT votes over Cats. IA
the event the order is issued the state
canvassing board will again be con-
vened and will re-award Cats the GER
tifcate of nomination which he was
forced to surrender today.
The chief issue in the campaign be-
tween Knott and Cats, was religion,
Knott representing the Catholic fac
tion which the protestants allege have
controlled Florida affairs with an iron
hand, and Cats being the candidate of
the combined protestants, who united
il an effort to throw off the yoke of al
legged Romanist domination.

After handing down his decision in the City Commis sioners vs. George Young case, issuing temporary restraining order pre- venting the city from interfering with the exhibition of "The Birth of a Ma tion" yesterday, he was called upon to decide whether or not the city court has jurisdiction to sit as an examining court and commit a person charged with felony to a superior court.
