WHY INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The democratic party is naturally
the exponent and champion of good
government. Abuses in public service,
with their attending evils to the public
welfare, were the authors of it's being:
to it is dedicated the duty of correct
ing abuses and preventing evils in
public affairs. This is the creed and
decalogue to which every true demo-
crat adheres, and he who is not in step
and purpose true to that principle at
all times is untrue to time tried demo-
cratic doctrine. In abstract principle
and in concrete application of princi-
pie, want of fidelity to official duty is
obnoxious to the democratic party.
Unlike other parties it has never had
such inherent virtue that it did not
hesitate to remove unworthy officials
and supplant them by worthy demo-
Gratis. If the democratic party is to
thrive and dominate the politics of
Pinellas county, it must retain and be
entitled to retain the respect of the
democratic voters. 1t must not wink
at nor encourage violation of official
duty. 1t must now and in the future,
as it has in the past, stand square'v
for absolute fidelity to the public
trusts confded to and in its county
officials. Since the primary election
in June at which Mr.. Stahl and Mr..
Edwards we're nominated, those Off
Gals have in the judgment of large
number of democrats, so conducted
themselves as county commissioners,
that the interest of the democratic
party demands and the public welfare
of the county requires that they be
retired to private life, and that demo-
Gratis more mindful of the party's well
fare and the public good be elected in
their place. The late report of the
grand jury of their investigation of
the proceedings of the county COM
missioners but emphasized the neces-
sity for such official displacement.
For the reasons above named, and
for the purpose, not of rending the
democratic party, but of restoring it;
not to disrupt but to save it from dis
credit and consequent disintegration,
and to give the best county in the
state efficient and judicious demo-
cratic administration; two worthy
and competent democrats are con-
testing for the office of county COM
missioner, having of necessity been
nominated by petition. Some of the
reasons for this contest appear below
and others will follow.
The contract between the county
and the Edwards Construction cola
pany provided that no money should
be paid the Edwards company for
brick until they had paid for the brick
and the brick was laid in the pave
ment. June 21st the county commits
sioners adopted the following motion.
June 21st, 1915.
at was moved by Mr.. Stahl and sec
onded by Mr.. Edwards, that the chair
man, John S. Taylor, be authorized
and instructed to sign an agreement
with the Southern Clay Mfg. Co. of
Birmingham, Ala, and the Westport
Brick Co. of Baltimore, Md, jointly
with the Edwards Construction Co. of
Tampa, Fla, to pay these companies
an advance in the cost of the brick as
they are laid on the sides of the roads

Possibility Now That State May

"DolIar Minimum Is Plain
HoIdup"-Brewster.

company regarding it's new rate schee-

and further litigation may result. I'm
der the decision of the federal court
Gas company representatives insist on
the new dollar minimum and a thirty
five cent rate.
Since the publication of the new gas
rate schedule, a howl has gone up
from gas consuming towns in oil sec
lions of the state. These protests have
found their way to the governor, the
attorney general and the public utili-
ties commission. Now there is the
possibility that the state may again
take action in the matter A bono
was provided by the gas company to
cover overcharges in event the new
gas rates were set aside by court or
der But that plan does not suit state
officials in the least
THAT dollar minimum is just plain
holdup of the poor man who cannot
afford to pay high gas rates. General
Brewster declared today. THE bur-
den falls on the men and women who
cannot afford to pay the increase. 1t
is the small consumer, the family with
little gas plate that suffers These
must either pay this exorb1tant rate,
or buy coal stoves and fuel both for
cooking and heating purposes They
simply can't afford 1t, that is all"
Towns in Protest.
Robert Stone. attorney for the gas
| company receivers, is in conferences
with the attorney general this after
noon. There is little hope that the gas
company will accede to the demands
of the state and the only relief may lie
| through renewed court action.
| Atchison, Lawrence, Ottawa and
| numerous other towns which patroniZs
| the Kansas Natural or its distributing
| companies, have protested against tia
increase in rates. The big complaint
concerns the 100 per cent increase In
minimum charges. Because it affects
principally the laboring classes aud
people who cannot afford to pay high
| light and fuel rates. state departments
have been urged to direct a renewed
fight against the rates.
In AtchisOn the new gas rate viii
/ be forty cents a thousand, while in To-
peka, the rate will be thirty-five cents
with a dollar minimum in both towns
Kansas City will not be disturbed
That will bring renewed complaints
from other towns and it is possible
that the state may direct legal action
on the grounds of discrimination.

Kansas City, Aug. S.-Increased
rates for natural gas in Kansas City
were announced today with the receipt
of a letter by Jacob Harzfeld, city
counsellor, addressed to the Kansas
City Gas company by John M. Landon

which will cover the first two thou

ANXIOUS
Railway Strike Question of Concern to

down to the uncomfortable role of
'-watchful worrying" The vote of the
four great railway train-service broth

here, is interpreted as mea ming but lit
tie until the result CT the conference
between the general mana gers COM

of the conference is not expected for
three days.
The report here Monday that the
union heads would modify their de-
Inands was discredited today by off
Gals higher than those from which it
came.
II have no doubt that there are
many train service men in the employ
of our road today who wish the re-
port could be officially confirmed" a
Topeka railroad official said today Il
