The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-06-26

The dissatisfaction with the
present primary system grows in
strength as the people have time to
realize the full extent Of its imper-
fections. That it is an absolute fall
ure as a means of providing an ex-
preston of the will of the major
ity of the people, and therefore is
uni Democratic. is the principle
ground of complaint, although there
are other minor features that are
also very Objectionable. Democrats
who entered the primary feel bound
to abide by, it's results, however un-
satisfactory; but at least one Flor
ida newspaper gives fair warning
that 1t will not be caught by such 9
system again. The Punta Cords
Herald expresses itself thus point
eddy:
"The Herald serves notice righ'
now that it will have nothing to d.
with any primary hereafter tina
may be conducted under the presen
Bryan primary law and it will no
be bound by the results of such
primary. The Herald accepts result
this time and will give loyal suppor
to the nominees. but it will Ger
tainly not be so foolish hereafter a
to bind itself by scheme, system
or a law that enables $4,000 out o
$4,000 men to name the candidate
Cor whom we all shall vote. Owe

an himself, got caught in the Bryai
trap this time. but, four years iron

WAR NEWS.
 BRIEFLY TOLD

SUBMARINES ACTIVE
Russians Progressing Nicely With out Meeting Much
 Resistance.

LONDON, April 6.-Another at tempt to raid the east and north east coasts of England by fleet of Zepplins was made yesterday, but was fortunately met with resistence and compelled them to flee for safety.
 The belief is prevalent here that the retirement of Tirpitz from the head of the Grman navy was made to mislead the United States in it's policy to regard submarine warfare It is thought that the neutral ma tions' protests against submarine warfare carried on under Tirpitz. compelled the Kaiser to retire him in order to lead the American gov ernment to believe that he was op- posed to it. It is pointed out that since Tirpitz retirement, instead of decreasing in activity, the submar- ines have been warning against neu- tral ships at an increasing rate.
 A report from Petrograd says that the Russian forces are meet ing with splendid success with only an occasional mild resistence by the Turks.

Among the prominent passengers on the steamer Humboldt today re- turning from the States was Mrs. Harriet s. Pullen, of the we'll known house that bears her name at Skag- way.

 Mrs. Pullen went out to visit her father and mother who are still able to be round although both are passed 84 years. She says that times are brisk outside and that everybody is talking of Alaska and conclude that we will see the great est travel this season in Alaska that We have ever seen.
 Skagway, Mrs. Pullen says, is simply booming. Real estate has gone up the last few weeks at an astonishing rate. Thousands of peo- pie are expected to visit Skagway and it is feared that accommoda- tion will be taxed. She plans en- larging her place on her arrival home.
