Senator Fletcher Supports
Knott And Entire Ticket
Gainesville Sum-

Declaring that not only the sue
cess, but the continued existence of
the present primary system of white
Democratic primaries depends upon
the loyalty of the members of the or
ganization, U. S. Senator Duncan u.

George P. Raney, chairman of the
State Democratic executive commit
tee, stated yesterday that it is his
purpose to vote for every candidate
of the Democratic party. nominated
at the June primary.
Senator Fletcher also stated that
the Supreme court and State commit
tee are the final and only tribunals
to determine disputes as to the re
suits of primary elections, and their
conclusions are binding upon the
party. Another one of Senator
Fletcher's pertinent statements was
that the life of the Democratic party
depends upon the ready acceptance

Senator Fletcher's letter in full
follows: -.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 90, 1916.
Hon. George P. Raney, Chairman
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, Jacksonville, Fla:
Dear Mr.. Raney-I have had no
part in the recent Democratic prim-
airy in Florida or in the contests
which followed it. 1t is my firm con-
viction, however, that it is the duty
OF Democrats to support the nomi-
nees of the party as determined by
the Supreme court of Florida; the
final action of the State Canvassing
Board and endorsed by the State
Democratic executive committee.
The Supreme court and the State
committee are the final and only tri-
tunals to determine disputes as to
the results of primary elections, and
their conslusions are binding upon
the party. The life of the Democratic
party depends upon the ready accept
ance by every Democratic candidate
and voter of the results of the prim-
airy election as determined by the ex-
listing law and the highest author
ity of the party. Not only the sue
cess but the continued existence of
the present system of white Demo-
cratic primaries depends upon the
loyalty of the members of the organ
ization.
Therefore, it is my purpose to vote
for every candidate of the Democrat
ic party nominated at the June pri-
maries as determined by the de-
cisions Of the Supreme court, the
final action of the State Canvassing
Board and the endorsement of the
State Democratic executive commit
tee. Yours sincerely,
(signed) DUNCAN U. FLETCHER,

For day at least that new slogan
was right appropriate for the live

with much defiance, in Chicago's
Suffrage parade Wednesday after
noon.
If the punch and grit of the march

rain soaked into the Suffragets, it
should make considerable impress
sion. The women folks had prom
ised they would march, rain or shine.
And they did-close to 1000 of them

scum.
A dozen or so bands and bugle
corps splashed out national airs to
the time of the pattering rain. Every
body in the line of march was
drenched, at least from the hips
down. Umbrellas possibly protected
the yellow-banded hats and nice
white waists that the women wore.
At street corners the wind played
havoc with the soaked skirts and
hosiery. One man along the curb
