expected that the advance flight of

NEGRO CANDIDATES
In JACKSONVILLE
AROUSE INTEREST

Jacksonville, June 21.-Jackson-
ville's municipal election Tuesday
which Ordinarily would involve mere
ly the ratification Of the selection OF
officials in the white primary several
weeks ago, and which would be parti-
cipated in by comparatively few of the
registered voters, will be enlivened by
the efforts of six negroes to win seats
in the city council. 1t Is the first time
in many years negroes have sought
public Office here and it is expected
each of the candidates will poll a
heavy vote as numerous mass meet
ings have been held in churches and
clubs and every negro voter has been
urged to so to the polls.
The principal step taken in the eff
fort to defeat the negro candidates
has been the Urging Of voters to IA
miliarize themselves with the names
of the white candidates, as under the
law the names of the negroes go or
the ballot without distinction Efforts
also have been made to induce the
voters not to single shot" in voting
for councilman-at-large six of whom
are to be elected. Single shotting,
it is claimed, would give few candi
dates very heavy vote, the remain
der a light vote, and the solid negro
vote in favor of the negro candidates
probably would result IN their elec
ton.

The Blittania made for the army
base and the injured man was placed
in hospital The other airmen later
returned to the naval base where a
report of the accident wasmade.
Watchers from the shore do not
know whether the explosions they
heard were the detonations of bombs
or the exploding gasoline tanks. The
commandant of the naval base says
the firing pins on the bombs were not
released and they should not have ex-
ploded He further states that the
NC-7 had no part in the bombing ex-
periments which were being conduct
ed off the Virginia capes today, but
was out on practice run. Bombs
are carried by most machines at the
naval base since plans for the ex-
pefiments with war craft have been
under way.
Names of the officers and men
aboard the NC-7 were not made pub
lie by the officials at the naval base.
An investigation is now under way to
ascertain the cause of the gasoline
feed pipe leak. This pipe, 1t is stated,
apparently was in first class condi-
tion when the machine left the sta
