Returning from Jacksonville last
night, Senator John e. Jones and the
four or five Pensacola workers who
cision of the state commission, an
nounced that the best legal opinion in
the state admits Pensacola has won.
Senator McWilliams, of st. Augustine,
voted with Mr.. Jones against the four
fair proposition and declared he would
refuse to sign any vouchers until the
opinion of the Attorney General had
been received.
There will be a meeting of the COM
mittee of 100 at 1880 o'clock tonight at
the city hall.
r. Pope Reese, attorney for Escam-
bia county, Senator Bryan, of Jack
sonville, Col. John s. Beard, and other
state commission has defeated the law
and must dissolve.
In an interview last night, Mr.. Reese
said that there is no doubt as to PEN
sacola's full right to go ahead with her
centennial plans. The state legislature
and federal government will back the
centennial here. inasmuch as the act
of 1917. designating this city has
never been repealed ~
Col. Beard, Mr.. Cross, Mr.. Miller ana
myself have agreed that it would be
desirable to have the committee OF lou
meet at the council chamber, city hali'
at 1880 o'clock Friday night.
Mr. Reese suggested getting IN
touch with DIR. Renshaw and Postmas-
ter Hancock but agreed that they
would probably just as soon sleep un-
disturbed. Mr.. Reese, therefore, mas
issued the call for the meeting, with
the assurance that every member OF
the mayors committee will be presehe
to hear Senator Jones' report.

there was a possibility of alternating

Action of State Commission in
Deciding to Divide Centennial
Leaves This City Free to Go
Ahead.
LEGISLATURE WILL
ENDORSE OUR MOVE
West Florida Stands Solidly for
the Best City on the Gulf and
Enough Additional Votes Will
Be Found.
(By Lucky Baldwin,

The decision of the State Commits
sion to divide the Florida Centennial
into four parts is positive victory
for Pensacola. With the exception of
a definite decision in favor of this
city, no better action. from a Pensa-
cola standpoint, could have been taken.
Under the act of the Legislature of
1919 which created the commission, a
centennial site was to be chosen. This
the Commission has failed to do, and
has gone on record as having so
failed. Therefore Pensacola can now
go ahead and plan her own show, the
real Florida Centennial.
Throughout the length and breadth
of West Florida sentiment is wholly
for Pensacola. There is none for
Jacksonville or any other Florida city.
Pensacola can and should proceed i'm
mediately to organize her Centennial.
In the meantime the State Commits
sion must wait until the Legislature
meets to get authority to conduct four
fairs instead of a Florida Centennial
And when the Legislature meets it
will designate Pensacola West Flor
ida will vote as e-nlan- for -the-real
Because of the strange workings or
politics it may well be that some OF
the leading w-makers of Duval and
st. Johns counties will join with the
champions of Pensacola's right. When
Justice and political aspirations travef
in the same direction-it is easy Tor
them to go double. The Florida Cen
tenniaI will be either a haven or
reef. according to whether or not East
and South Florida politicians see the
light.
There is no doubt in the minds or
the peninsula Floridians that Pensa-
cola and West Florida want the Cen
tennial. And a little thing like pleas
ing the managers and stockholders or
the various State Fairs is not going
| to sway the legislators when they
meet in Tallahassee.
Should IL become necessary TO carry
out the plan proposed by the State
lCentenniaI Commission, and provide
money for four fairs doubtless it would
also become necessary to drop the tax
exemption on fruit trees and put the
burden of fighting the citrus canker
on the industry itself In many other
instances local taxes would necessarily
be raised where state funds are now
used.
Il Verify there are many strings to a
/ four-fafr proposition. But in Pensa-
cola will be held the Florida Centen-
tniaI Pensacola has authority to pro-
| ceed under a special act of the legls-
llature. She has the money in sight
ishe has the men, and its up to every
IoyaI PensacoIian to show that the
, best city on the Gulf has the nerve.
