Seldom is mistake made: in al
most every place indicated by the in

Jacksonville Times-Union.)

Jacksonville Times -Union.)
The Fourth District in Florida will
be represented in the National Demo-
cratic Convention in st. Louis next
month by but one delegate. This fact
became known yesterday when it was
discovered that J. l.. McWhorter was
the only candidate for delegate who
had filed his expense account, as re-
quired by law, and thus qualified for
the office. The district is entitled to
two delegates, but under the circum-
stances Mr.. McWhorter will cast two
votes in the convention.
1t had been discovered that there
would not be sufficient time for the
counting Of the votes after the June
primary to permit those elected to
reach st. Louis in time for the con-
vention. Geo. P. Raney, chairman of
the State committee, had suggested
that the delegates be selected by lot.
The delegates from this district had
agreed to this plan and Mr.. McWhor-
ter had sent to Attorney General
West his written consent to the plan
before he discovered that he was the
only qualified delegate. Last evening
he telegraphed Mr.. West. withdraw
Ing his consent to the plan.
Will Have Two Votes.
Mr.. McWhorter said last evening
that following the suggestion Of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee Chairman. he had mailed his
agreement for the Attorney General
to settle by lot who should represent
the Fourth District at the National
Convention, but after learning from
Tallahassee that hic two onnounnts c
had failed to qualify he wired the At
torncy General to ignore the letter.
The Fourth District will be fully
represented so far as it's vote is con-
cerned,' said Mr.. McWhorter, "for
the delegate will have the full vote
OF the district To cast, and the people
of the district can be sure that there
will be two votes from their part OF
Florida that will be cast for Wilson
and Marshall"
The two candidates for delegate
who failed to qualify were G.. r..
johnson and W.. NJ. Hitler.
