Official tabulation of the vote cast
for United States senator in the June
s primary, received here yesterday
from Tallahassee, shows Senator D.
L. Fletcher's majority over Sidney j.

and half to one.
A total of 1871 votes were polled
IN the senatorial contest, Senator
Fletcher receiving 62.3O4 and Cover
nor Cats 25,007.
Probably no such trouncing has ever
been administered to a senatorial can
didate in the history of the state. Of
the ffty-four counties in Florida, Sen
ator Fletcher carried fifty-one by big
majorities. The three counties car
ried by Cats were Holmes by 35 ma
jority, Okaloosa by six and Washing
ton by 237. Two of these counties,
Holmes and OkalOosa border on Ala
hama, and Washington is just one
county removed from that state:
Based upon percentage Of vote cast,
Pinellas gave Senator Fletcher his
largest majority, being seven or eight
to one A total of 1851 votes were
cast in that county for the two candi-

San Francisco, June 24.-The pre-
liminary concention got into a period
of hurry and scramble today with the
appearance of one after another of
the men who will play leading parts
at the great meeting. In the whisper
ing benin dthe screen the question of
the party's policy toward prohibition
was the big these of agitation with
prospects for a fight on the conven-
tion floor growing better and better.
Discussion of presidential candidates
was still well in the background.
Two new arrivals today attracted
particular attention. One was Sena-
tor Carter Glass, frosh from Wash
irgton and generally reported to have
brought the presidents own draft of
the platform. The other was Charles
F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, who
came direct from a conference with
the old line party strategists at
French Lick Springs, Indiana. Both
are as busy as beavers but as silent
ard cagey as mice. They refused TO
talk politics.
