London, Dec. 3.-A demand for tfrEz

peror will be submitted to the Neither

Italy have been fully communicated tEs

Wilson has also made suggestions reE-
ative to procedure in the case.
The opinion is held that Holland Will
not put obstacles in the way. She Wiz
not be asked to deliver William HO--
henzollern under ordinary extradition
laws, but his status will be considered
analogous to that of a pirate or SLAVE
trader, who is not regarded as entE-

marshal, water works superintendent
and city clerk and tax collector from
the American Surety company to the
Fidelity and Deposit company of
Maryland, of which he is agent. He
first tried to get the city clerk and col
lector's bond by asking me for same,
but upon being told I had already ap-
piled to the American Surety company
and would therefore decline to make
application to another company, Mr..
Durrance forthwith prepared the
bond, together with one for the mar
shal and one for the water works su-
perintendent, and relied upon his in
f1uence as member of the city coun-
ell to force their acceptance. The city
clerk protested such unfair procedure
and his bond with the American Sure
ty company was accepted by council
and Mr.. Durrance's company took the
other two and have had them ever
since.
mention this matter not because
of its Importance but as an incident to
illustrate how small a gain will tempt
the president of our city council to
violate his honor, and further, it will
serve to illustrate the reason why the
city clerk and tax collector has found
himself without the pale of harmoni-
Gus and mutually helpful intercourse
so essential to the welfare of his own
office and the office of a city council
man.
From April IL, 1916, to April 4,
1917, Mr.. Durrance served the city in
the capacity of chairman of the street
and highway committee of the council,
yet the files of the city clerks office,
which are complete in this respect, do
not contain one single written report
by his committee and it is the recol
lection of the clerk that Mr.. Louden,
president of the council during this
time, made repeated requests that
written reports should be submitted
by the four standing committees. On
April a, 1917, Mr.. Durrance was ex-
alted to the position of president of
the city council and in the face of his
own record for year showed no en-
barrassment whateevr in insisting
that chairmen of standing committees
should submit written reports at ev-
cry meeting.
I relate this matter as an illustra-
tion of the utter lack of modesty and
that sense of fairness which is so es-
sential in mems dealings with each
other and offer it to the public as
possible, or at least partial, explana-
tion of the rancor which has disgraced
the sittings of our city council on nu-
merous occasions in the past. At any
rate l am frank to say that, this atti-
tude on the part of the president of
the city council and the chairman of
the finance committee, Mr.. West, has
been a handicap and detriment of no
small proportions to the impartial
conduct of my office.
During the year 1916 the Edwards
Construction company was proceeding
with construction work on certain
streets upon no more authority than
the acceptance by the council of their
bids and verbal understandings, prin-
cipally with Mr.. Durrance. About the
first of 1917 representative from the
Edwards Construction company
brought bunch of contracts to the
Office for my signature and the city's
seal, which he represented to be du-
plicates of contracts which we formal
ly had signed. Was the clerk over

Tarpon Springs, Fla, Dec. 2, 1918.
To my fellow citizens:
Only once before, since I become
city clerk and tax collector on Febru-
ary Is, 1916, have 1 bid for the atten-
tion of the citizens of the city of Tar
pom Springs by way of a published
statement in the columns of our local
press. That time was on December 1,
1916, and was my reply to a scare
head in The Evening Leader of Nov
ember 20, 1916, which made serious
reflections against the dignity of the
office which / held, but was really
meant for another department of our
municipal government.
The oath of office to which have
solemnly subscribed lis as. follows:
Ias = AibaugiE 40 solemnIy
swear that / will support, protect
and defend the constitution and
government of the United States
and the state of Florida against
all enemies domestic and foreign,
and that | will bear true faith,
loyalty and allegiance to the same,
and that I am entitled to hold of
flee under the constitution and
that I will faithfully perform all
the duties of the office of City
Clerk and Tax Collector on which
l am about to enter. So help me
God. ESTEN F. ALBAUGH.
"Sworn and subscribed before
me this 10th day of October, A.
D. 1918,
81. E. DOUGLASS, Mayor"
Oaths of all other city officials of
Tarpon Springs are the same except
for changes in name and title. l re-
gard it one of my duties as the incum-
bent in the office of city clerk and tax
collector to defend the solemn dignity
of this Office which is created by the
authority of the sovereignty of the
people of our state and nation against
the absurd abuses by some of our own
city councilmen.
Pretenses may play a large part in
the superficial activities of life, but
this is notice to all that pretenses are
now to be shattered since the serious
ness of the situation dawns upon us,
and enemies to the welfare of the of
flee which | hold shall be resisted if
they are private citizens or president
of the city council.
The question facing Tarpon Springs
is how much respect her citizens
should entertain for an official who
uses the authority vested in him as
a city official to overawe his friends
and heap discomfort on his private en-
emies. Long since the city clerk and
tax collector was f9reed to choose
whether he would abet the pe1petra-
tion of such action on the part of
members of the. city council or would
endeavor to steer a neutral course for
the good of his office and thus expose
himself to the bitter hostility of those
above him who recklessly welded the
power they had and usurped more ac-
cording to their wants. l chose to
steer the neutral course and have
borne abuse almost intolerable as this
article will show, and feel that wheth-
er or not the condition can be reme-
died now, that light thrown upon the
subject will have wholesome effect
in curbing the misconduct to which
allude.

upon being appointed councilman on

THE CAMPAIGN is OVER

The campaign is over so far as the primaries are con-
cerned. While some of the candidates have made rather
strenuous campaigns, there has been less general interest
in the election than in any for years past. The heads OF
the ticket, United States Senator and the governor, OF
course over-shadow all else, but there are some other
pretty lively contests. Among these is the fight for state
treasurer which has been a sort Of six day go as you
please, and over the results of which there is as wide a
variance of opinion as there is over the governor and
senator. Friends of the governor are positive ne will
come in ahead of his competitors but two or three Of
these are Just as certain to win if the statements of their
friends are accepted. By Saturday morning the results
should be known unless the races are close, and under any
reasonable conditions they are pretty certain to be settled
by Saturday afternoon.
AS to the city election, it has been practically lost sight
of in even the tagging interest in the state election. One
of the features of the election is that voters in many
precincts will have to vote at two polling places, and there
is a large number who apparently do not know which
ward they are in or which precinct. The Capital journal
gave a list Of the polling places in a recent issue, and
publishes the polling places for both city and state cleo
lions again today.
