BRYAN MAKES SHORT
VISIT IN PALATKA
On His Way to Gainesville
Breakfasts at Putnam
House.

William jennings Bryan, ex-Secre-
tary of State and three times the
democratic candidate for President Of
the United States, spent couple
hours in Palatka last Saturday. Mr..
Bryan came over from St. Augustine
on the early train and left two hours
later for Gainesville.
During the interval he brcakfasted
at the Putnam House and was visit
ed by many prominent local demo-
Gratis, among the number being Hon.
Henry Hutchinson, clerk of the court,
who has always been a great admirer
of Mr.. Bryan. w. E. Wattles was
also among the number to help enter
tain the distinguished visitor.
Mr.. Bryan has a beautiful winter
home at Miami and with Mrs. Bryan
| is spending the season there. He
had arranged lecturing itinery up
the east coast and over to Gainesville
and Ocala, and in making these places
stopped over in Palatka between
trains. Mr. Bryan's last visit to Pa
latka was in February, 1912, when on
his way to Washington to assume the
duties of Secretary of State in Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet.
Two years previous to that visit he
delivered an address here and at Cres
cent City under the auspices of the
Women's Clubs.
He expects to return to Palatka
sometime next month with Mrs. Bry.
an, when it is his intention to make g
trip up the St. Johns and Ocklawaha
rivers.
The News would suggest that the
Woman's Club secure him for an ad
dress at that time.

Attempted Suicide.

Carl Nykes, German who appears
a trif1e dippy in the attic, and who
made an attempt to commit suicide

Monday afternoon by digging into his
vitals with tea spoon, was detained
at the county Jail for observation by a
duly appointed lunacy commission.
During Tuesday night, while in the
Jail, Nykes made another attempt on
his life with a. piece of glass. He cut
deep hole and was bleeding like a
stuck pig, but DR.. Miller who attended
him in the absence of DR.. Steen, sew
ed him up and it was thought he
would live. His first cuts were not SO
bad, but they were bad enough. DR..
Chandler sewed them up.

RANEY REFUSES TO
CALL COMMITTEE.
To Further Consider Reso-
luton Defining a
Democrat.

Hon. Geo. P. Raney, chairman of
the State DEMOCRATIC Executive Com
mittee, in letter to Committeeman
j. S. Smith of Clay county, declines
to call another meeting of the commit
tee to reconsider the resolution pass
ed by the committee in session in
Jacksonville on the 9th inst. Mr..
Raney says:
Dear Sir:
l am in receipt of your letter of the
7th inst, requesting that call
meeting Of the State Democratic Ex-
Eecutive Committee of Florida at once
to reconsider the vote by which the
resolution setting forth qualifications
of electors was passed and for such
other business as may properly come
before said committee
On December IA, 1915, I issued
call for meeting of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee to be held
in Jacksonville January 6, 1916, and
addressed letter to each member of
the committee according to the list of
membership furnished me by the Sec
retary, naming the time and place of
such meeting and pointing out the sew
eral matters of Importance which
would necessarily come before the
committee for it's determination;
among others being the duty of the
committee to declare by resolution the
terms and conditions on which legal
electors shall be taken as proper MEN,
bers of the Democratic party and en-
titled to vote in the primary election
| x,f {kot ~
Quotes Statute.
| This was done in pursuance of the
provisions of section 16, chapter 6469,
Laws of Florida, A. D. 1918, reading
as follows:
"The State executive committee of
each political party may by resolution
declare the terms and conditions on
which legal electors shall be declared
and taken as proper members of such
party. 1t shall be the duty of the su-
pervisors of registration of the vari-
Gus counties in the registration of
electors to comply with the terms of
any such resolution upon the filing
with them of copies thereof duly cer-
titled by the chairman and secretary
of any such executive committee
any time before the opening of the
registration books as herein required"
introduced Regularly.
The resolution referred to was reg
ularly introduced at the regular meet
ing of the State Democratic Executive
Committee held at the time and place
designated in the call. There was a
quorum present at this meeting; in
fact, the meeting was bettnr attended
than any held in years. The resoiu-
tion referred to by you was read twice
to the committee; it was thereupon
publicly discussed and upon the chair
putting the question upon motion duly
seconded to adopt the resolution, the
same was passed by an overwhelming
vote. No motion to reconsider the
vote adopting the resolution was
made. The committee was in session
for at least an hour and half after
the adoption of this resolution. AS
far as l am advised the committee
transacted all business that might
properly come before it.
In the nature Of things there must
be finality to all matters and for the
reason hereinbefore set forth 1 must
respectfully decline to comply with
your request.
Very truly yours,
(Signed,) GEORGE P. RANEY,
&}s.; Chairman.
