THAT RESOLUTION.

There has been much criticism of
resolution adopted by the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee at it!
session in Jacksonville last week.
And yet there is nothing in the res
olution to ALLEVIATE democrats.
The point in the resolution which
has stirred up so many reads:
"That he is not a member OF
any secret organization which at
tempts in any way to influence
political action or results, or the
obligations and purposes of
which organization will justify
him in refusing to support any
nominee of the party"
All men who participate in demo-
cratic primary are in honor bound to
support the ticket named in that pri-
mary. If a man belongs to secret
organization, the obligation of which
requires that he shall bolt the party
nominees, then he can not be a demo-
crat.
All of us at some time or other are
required to support men in the gener-
al election who were not our choice
in the primary, simply because the
majority made them the party nomi-
nees.
Many of US have gotten behind
closed doors with our friends and
agreed to support certain men in the
primary, but if these men whom we
had agreed to support failed to secure
the nomination, we have gone to the
polls at the general election, and like
democrats, have supported the ticket.
If there is a secret organization.
the obligation of which demands that
its members bolt the nominee in GER
tain contingencies, it is an undemo-
cratic organization.
In promulgating this rule the State
Executive Committee has imposed no
additional condition Of party fealty
For this reason, if for no other. the
resolution is useless, and because Of
the mess it has stirred up, is unfor-
tunate.
The resolution it is understood was
prepared by Mr.. J. M. Barrs, of Jack
sonville, friend of Senator N.
Bryan.

Editor j. H. Reese of the Orland
Reporter Star, who as press cores
pondent at the legislative session o
1913 got heap of fun out of Bill
Maypoles pure shoe BILL" is nov
willing to admit that the measure hat
much to commend it to the thoughtful
rather than the ludicrous, attention O.
the legislature. Mr.. Reese says:
"Bill's bill was the most ludi-
crously amended bill that ever
ran the gamut of the comic
squad in legislative assembly.
1t was shot by sarcasm, riddled
by ridicule, levied with levity,
and lampooned with laughter
Bel was bewildered at the high
iinks which the introduction of
this bill and the subsequent de-
bate upon it brought out. Yet
large number of people who
regarded Bills bill with faceti-
BUSINESS then have come to the
realization that there was some
thing needful, if not vital in it.
We have testimony today from
two widely located sections and
persons. Richard Harding Da-
Wis, the war correspondent, says
it is shameful to him as an Am
erican to view the frauds that
have been committed upon the
European governments and SOL
dierS in the shoes sold them by
American manufacturers for
field service. Mr.. Davis states
it plainly that the soles of the
shoes are made of paper, COW
cred with leather so cleverly that
it is difficult to detect the fraud.
In today's Reporter appears
a communication from Hon. S. A.
Robinson, who was a member of
the legislature which defeated the
Maypoles bill. He relates his
experience with paper soled shoes
and the sample of shoes he
has produced in evidence at this
office amply sustains his conten-
tion of the need for a measure of
the Mapoles kind"

The Plan of Campaign


Tampa Tribune: The State Com
mittee adopted the plan suggested by
Ion L. Farris of Jacksonville, a can
didate for Governor, by which the
candidates for State offices will be
brought directly before the people to
discuss the issues of the campaign. 1t
is proposed to have at least two meet
ings in each county, at which all the
candidates may be heard. This is 60
ing to prove rather expensive to the
candidates, meaning two complete
tours of the State-and some of them
have already traversed much of the
territory. However, we presume it
will be optional with the candidates
whether he visits one place or anoth-
er and it will be his lookout if he
misses the opportunity to address any
particular community.
