Caryville, Fla, Aug. 14.-one Of
the most dastardly crimes ever COM
mitted in Florida came to light Satur-
day, when the mutilated body of P.
H. Clemmons was found few miles
below Caryville in the water Of the
Choctawhatchie river. Last Monday.
the 7th, Mr.. Clemmons left his home
in Caryville for a fishing tour down
the river, as was his usual custom.
After being absent until Wednesday,
and not returning, search was made
and his boat found upside down in
drift. His body was found with his
clothing gone, except common fishing
shirt. His mouth had bullet hole
in it, the skull smashed and neck
broken, a pistol shot in the hip with
several knife wounds across the stom-
ach and back.
He was an old and respected citi-
zen of West Florida and leaves n fam

and it is thought the guilty parties
will be apprehended and brought to
justice. It is said that Mr.. Glenn
mons had on his person quite sum

LAW REQUIRES EXACT
COUNT, AND
OF SUPREME
COURT ENFORCES LAW

cast by the electors at the polls, a
duty imposed by law"
Counsel for Mr.. Cats have reiter-
ated before the supreme court, and
seem to place their greatest Deepen
dence upon the argument that the
count of the ballots as returned by
the inspectors on June 9Th, was final
and should not be disturbed. Not only
has this been the argument of coun-
sci, but on it is based the whole in
dependent candidacy and campaign of
Mr.. Cats. The supreme court an
swers this proposition in the following
language.
"The general election law contains
no evidence whatever of a legislative
purpose to make the first determina-
ton of a board of inspectors to be
forever final, notwithstanding such
determination may have been induced
by fraud or arrived at by the grossest
and most fragrant errors, mistakes
and misconception of duty, and in the
absence of such legislative purpose,
we think that it would be the duty
of the court in a proper case by writ
of mandamus to order the inspectors
to make their returns and certificates
speak the truth if by any possibility
it could be accomplished. =
Under our primary election law, how
, ever, the power Of the court to COM
pei the primary election officers to
correctly perform their duties is ex-
/ pressly recognized.
The intention of the lawmakers be.

to secure fair primary election anc

HUGHES VS.. WOMEN

Governor Hughes veto Of the equal pay for equal work" bill is far
more sacred right than that of winning the suffrage by national rather
endorsement of a national suffrage amendment. 1t will no doubt be held
by the women voters of the country that the right to make a living is a
more sacred right than that Of winning the suffrage b1 national rather
than state initiative.
The story is an interesting one. The teachers of New York City,
women and men both, had secured. after a long hard fight the adoption
by the legislature of an amendment to the charter of New York City,
providing that women teachers should be paid the sam salaries that the
men received, for the same kind and quality Of work done.
When the bill reached Govern r Hughes, he returned it without his
approval. lie wrote:
"Ihc motive a the present BIZ is to compel equal pay for men and
vunca hold - the Same position under any particular schedule of sal

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

Some time ago the Republican papers of the state went into a fit
because Charles A. Towne of New York made a speech in Elko in which
lie talked favorab1y of the Pttman land bill. Nothing too mean could
be said Of either man or measure. but almost o top of this James r.
Garfield, who is connected with the Republican National committee and
who has been ut vest trying to straighten out the Republican tangle, is
held in Reno long enough to express himself on the "viciousness' of the
tittman bill, and Immediately his CONCLUSIONS are ser ut as political
dope and published under glaring headlines in the Republican papers in
an effort to stem the tide Of favor that is working PittmanWard.
The Ptttman land bill is mot and never has been a political measure,
and without regard to its virtues or weaknesses it a lever be sadded on
the people of Nevada Unless accepted by the governor ad the legislature,
therefore n o condemnation an est on Senator Pttnan for putting it
through congress. If the people don't want it they don't have to take it.
The Republican leaders all know these facts and they evidence their
Hcakncss Of argument when they Use the measure IS a weapon against
Senator Fittman
In this connection Representative Ed Roberts, who helped put the
bill through congress-, must be excepted from the aggregation OF critics
Of the bill while Sam Plat, who has probably never studied the measure,
