When prominent men from otfle. countries come

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The democratic convention plan is rapidly gaining
favor in the state particularly with those newspapers

The Tampa Times from the beginning has been an
ardent supporter Of the movement and in a recent
vert to the idea of democratic state convention for
the purpose Of adopting platform defining the
status OF a democrat in Florida, plan which The
Times the first to suggest and has constantly
advocated from the start."
The Times points out that Mr. Abrams condemns
the proposition made to the democratic executive
committee. to limit the nomination for each i'm
portant office to two men, agreeing with Chairman
Raney that it cannot be DONE Says the Times:
1T is sef-evident fact that it would be impossi-
BILE to limit the number Of aspirants for any office
and he falls back the plan first suggested by the
Times. months ago, OF state democratic convention

ment.'
He declares the present primary laws make 1t
possible for majority of the voters of the state to
be overborne by minority, and the second choice
system is farce. Very few voters bother with it,
and the result is that plurality dominates as
against the will Of the majority Those who OPP

TO STOP SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT

Sup SUUIHENN DEtELOfMENl
Among the efforts of eastern capitalists to stop the
for developing the Gulf and South Atlantic
ports is attempted legislation in congress to sell the
ships built by the United States government during
the war. which are now being used by the Atlantic
and Gulf ports
Formerly the ports Of New York. Boston and Phil
adelphia had practically monopoly of the shipping
business.
In recent article appearing in Sea Power, prefac

1t is rather startling statement to make, but
it is true, that when the OF 1914 burst forth
there were, under the American flag in
shipping in foreign trade. 100000 tons less than
had in 1861.
Our foreign trade had been growing steadily,
but under an enormous handicap It could have
been many times greater. Our producers and
manufacturers beginning to realize the
force OF competition had been meeting, but
there seemed to be difficulties which We're hold
ing back extensions and which threatened to I'M
loose the grip then had. Our people did not
seem to comprehend what the trouble was. II
was suggested that our exporting houses were
lacking in enterprise; that they should send spe-
cially trained agents into the foreign fields; that
statesmen should be educated and permanently
located in foreign countries; that goods should
be packed differently; that financial facilities
were needed and various remedies suggest
ed for the situation which indicated that we were
about to be driven out of important markets by
more enterprising and sagacious competitors.
The and soon we had positive dem
onstration, not only proving what in the past
had been trouble but that we We're becom-
ing helpless to the point Of being unable to get
our products to foreign markets at all.

We then realized that the principal thing to do
if we expected to have or establish any foreign
trade of consequence to provide transporta-

The only way to provide this necessary and
all-controlling factor to build ships. They
could not be purchased. They could not be built
elsewhere.
These ships were built by the American people
with American money. Much of that money was
men and women of this country. who have every
right to demand that these American built ships be
retained by the government for the building up OF
American commerce. That is what they were built
for for that purpose alone. and it is up to
gress and the American people to fight to finish
any movement for their sale to foreign interests.
