NOta POIitiCa

FL distrito representative numero 6,
compuesto de los pueblos Vega Baja,
| Vega Alta Dorado, esta en- las puertas
de los Sociahstas, 81 no Sc lucha de otrO
modo.
Veamos un detalle:
Resultado de las ultimas elecciones
en- este distrito:
VEGA BAJA.
Unionistas, 1850; Republicanos, 4oS y
Sccialistas, 345.
VEGA ALTA:
Unionistas, 949; Republicanos, 12s, Y
Socialistas, $40.
DORADO:
Unionistas, 169; Repubncanos, 1876, y
Socialistas, 8.
Unionistas, 229S; Republi-
canos, 14sO, Socialistas, 544.
Mayoria Unionistas sobre los Repu-
blicanos, S18: Mayoria Unionista sobre
los Socialistas, 1854. Mayoria Unionis
tas sobre los Repubicanos y Socialistas
junsos, 274.
Ahora bien: hay que tener presente
que ell avance Socialista en- los tres pue
/ bios ha sido tremendo. En- Vega Baja es
indudable ell triunfo Socialista donde
estan al dos por uno.
En- Vega Alta es indescriptible la ola
Socialista, en- Dorado, no hay que ha
blar, pues con la caida de los hderes
Republicanos ALI, todos han corrido
las filas Socialistas.
Vamos a suponer que un cuarenta por
ciento de los votos unionistas de Vega
Baja pasen al partido Socialista, y tam
! bien dicho por ciento de los Republica-
nos v unionistas de Dorado Vega AL
ia, respectivamente, hayan hechO 10 que
en- Vega Baja, quedariamos entonces,
calculando, para las proximas eleccio-
mes, asi:
| VEGA BAJA:
Unionistas, 7Os; Republicanos, 4O3, y
Socialistas, S17.
j VEGA ALTA:
Unionistas, $40; Republicanos, 1913, y
/ Socialistas, 575.
DORADO:
Unionistas, 1863: Republicanos, $40, y
/ socialistas, 1892
:-Unionistas, 1447; Republica
! nos, 901 Sociahstas, 1774.
No hemos hecho rebaja alguna de los
Republicanos de Vega Alta y Vega Ba-
ia; como tampoco de los unionistas de
Dorado. Queremos suponer que un diez
por ciento de ellos Sc retraigan, simpa-
| tizando con los Socialistas en- su avan-
ce progressive. Pero, como hay que su-
| poner, tambien, que un diez por ciento
de les electores Sc queden sin inscribir,
quedaremos, pues, en- los mismos calcu-
los que hacemos en- parafos anteriores.
para terminar, suponiendo que los
unionistas obtengan 1447 votos; los Re
publicanos, 901, y los Socialistas 1774,
triunfarian los Socialistas en- ell distri-
to, con una mayoria de 227 sobre los
unionistas, triunfando tambien Ell par
lido EN- los tres municipios.
No somos profetas. Quisieramos equi-
vocarnos, pero como estan las cosas, Ell
entusiasmo, la actividad, la iniciativa
y ell interes que Sc nota en- todos y ca
da uno de los socialistas, podra ser que
nuestras suposiciones sean algo profe-
tico . NEUTRo.

How He Vanished.

Gwendoline, the eighteen-year-o
daughter of the family, had received
a splendid present from her young
man, an engagement ring set with dia-
mOnds and rubies.
That evening at tea, when the happy
pair were present, the conversation,
naturally enough, turned to jewery,
and someone remarked that it was
funny to think that we got pearls from
oysters.
Whereupon Gwendoline's horrid lit
tie brother edged toward the door and
remarked loudly:
'Oh thatt not half as funny rs get
ting rings from Holsters, is it, Gwen?'

ASK REFERENDUM VOTE

One of the most important matters now before the people of Mississippi is a prop osition to defeat the will of the late leg islature by referendum vote. The legis- lature ordered bond issue of nearly s5. 100000. the funds thus raised being used for permanent Improvements In and around the several colleges and eleemosy- nary institutions. some of which said to be In desperate need of immediate re- pairs. Heretofore it has been the custom of the legislature to tack on to bills for support and maintnance such sums as were needed for repairs. or even for new buildings. but this time, so great was the amount demanded that the law makers knew a bond isue would be neces- sary, and put all such bills in one. The big bond issue bill passed with many votes to spare, but the very small opposi- ton was lusty and implacable and. since the measure became a law, led by Former Governor Noel, has scattered petitions for referendum election on the bond issue from one end of the stata to the other. It is necessary to have 5000 signatures to the petitions. but 1t Is not believed there will he any trouble getting them. They of state every day. and the election will be ordered for next fall. That means that the bonds cannot be sold for several months, and meantime a number of build ings owner by the state are going to ruin for want of attention. It is not cer- tain by any means that the election will carry against the bond issue. but there will be red-hot fight over the proposi- t;on-the educational forces of the state taking the lead in favor of the bond issue.

|C|TY TAXES OVER
 EAST LAKE BEACH
Hugh Hill Makes Statement In References of City
 Authorities

After short conference yesterday the city commission declared the contract of concession of East Lake bathing beach to the Tyson Amusement Company was void and seized the beach and the eauip- ment of the company
 The action of the commission was taken onl the grounds that the company had violated the recent ordinance which was passed by the commission limiting the prices charged for bathing at this beach.
 On passing the resolution declaring the contract void, Assistant City Attorney Walter Brewer, Police Officer Clements and c. k. Armstrong of the city comp troller's office went to the park and took over the beach and the houses used by the company
 The beach has been operated for the last two years by the Tyson Amuse- ment Company. The high price charged by this company thiS year, it is said, grew out of the ruling of the commits sion that they should have 50 per cent of all gross receipts of the company as rent
 Following is a statement made last night by Hugh W. Hill, who is at the head of the company who operated the beach:
 "On my return from Edgewood Park Saturday afternoon about o'clock 1 was notified by Miles Bradford, city manager of East Lake Park, that Ae city of Birmingham had seized the bath house and all the equipment of my con- pany used in connection with the opera

ton of the bathing beach at East Lake and that the city, acting through an as- sistant city attorney, the city comptrol- Ter and members of the police depart ment. now have the beach and the com panys property in their possession.
 We had no notice of the contemplated action and DO legal process had been served on us This arbitrary action in practically taking over our property by force of arms is evidently in furtherance of the policy of the city to force us to do business under rates which will not yield a legitimate profit after payment to the city of one-half our gross re- ceipts as rent. We learned of the seiz- ure of our property too late Saturday to take legal steps, as the courts were closed. However, we will on Monday morning invoke the aid of the law to protect us and to vindicate that right we claim under solemn contract made in good faith with the city,"
