HEAVY VOTE YESTERDAY SETTLED
ALL CONTESTS EXCEPT THAT FOR
MAYOR WHICH MUCH MIXED Up
Women Voted Heavily
But Woman Candi-
date Was Not Quite
Able to Reach th e
Goal-Final Count of
Votes as Given Out
by an Official.

The city primary election. which
has the force of a regular election in
most cases, was held yesterday, de-
Gliding the holder of each office eX-
cept the important one of mayor.
There were three candidates for
this office and while Mr.. Petteway is
decidedly the high man, it required a
majority of the votes to elect, and a
second primary will be held on this
office.
In the race for municipal judge,
Gen. j d. Allen won decisive vic
tory over A. r.. Carver, the present
judge. Gen. Allen is at present JUS
tice of the peace and will be able to
carry on the duties of both offices.
He has had many years of experience
as a justice of the peace and has
served as municipal judge for the
city of Lakeland by appointment to
fill the chair during Judge Carver's
military service.
The race for city clerk was thrilling
during the first half of the returns
Mrs. Marshall won over Mr.. Swatts
in the First ward, Mr.. Swatts catch
ing up with three to spare in the re-
turns from Ward 2, while Wards 3

stantal increase on his lead. He is

and is now serving his tenth year in
that position.
A. G. Armistead had no opponent
for tax assessor. but pulled a strong
vote in every ward. He is the pres
ent incumbent of the Office, which he
has held for nearly ten years.
A vote of nearly two to one estab-
lished e. j. Bowyer as commissioner
from Ward /, his opponent being o.
J. Pope, the present. holder of the Of
fee Mr. Bowyer is an old resident
of Lakeland and large property
holder. That his neighbors have con-
fidence in him is amply shown by the
returns.
In the Second ward race, Brush and
Harrington were left far behind and
even j. c.. Swindell, who is we'll
known, was outrun by S. ]. Roland,
the present commissioner from that
ward. Mr.. Roland is young man of
much earnestness and it is evident
that his constituents wanted him re-
turned to the office.s
The Third ward was the scene of
some of the most active campaigning
that was put on. and L. p. Broadfield
was an easy winner over Il. G. Flan-
agan, the count being practically two
to one. Mr.. Broadfield is the present
commissioner from that ward and is
being returned to Office by hand
some vote.
In the Fourth ward. which is the
city's largest ward, William Steitz
was elected without opposition, his
vote being $50 out of the 405 cast in
that ward Interest was not so keen
in this ward as usual owing to the
fact, doubtless, that there was no CON
test over the office of commissioner
The election was characterized by
the large number of votes cast, by
the large percentage of women vot
ers, and by the orderliness at the
polIs--dhe to the presence of the la
dies, some explain--and by the good
will between the candidates. That ev
cry candidatewith one exception

London, July 13.-Final prepara-
tons for the meeting of Eamonn. de
Valera, Irish Republican leader, and
Prime Minister Lloyd George, to be
held here tomorrow We're being made
by the government and the Irish dele
cation today The first conference
will be held in the cabinet room at 10
Downing street, the prime minister's
official residence at IL o'clock tomor-
row morning, but the procedure to be
relieved had not been announced
early today.
British officials who had been close
ly associated with Irish affairs during
the recent past were said today to be
prepared to join in discussions with
the Sim Fein delegation headed by
Mr.. de Valera, and it was thought
possible that Gen. j. G. Smuts, pre-
mier of the Union of South Africa,
would play a very definite role in the
negotiations that would take place.
Gen. SHUTS has been considered the
man chiefly responsible for the rapid
development of peace moves in Ire
land, and late last week it was said
lie might act as temporary chairman
of the coming conference.
Mr.. de Valera and his colleagues
spent the night at hotel with friends
in this city last night. During the
evening there was meeting of Sim
Fein sympathizers, at which it is as
sumed the situation was quite thor
cughly canvassed.sG-as -

The hot weather seems to be sapping
every ones vitality, and our chief in
terest now is the business Of keeping
cool. So our interest In things, civic
and social, is at a low ebb, but we
must not think that this Is indicative
Of a complete loss Of interest. With
the return Of cooler weather our old
problems will confront US, and we will
be as wideawake as ever
The tennis court has not been In use
during the hot weather, and on ac-
count Of there not being some one OF
the older members directly in charge,
Il has gotten In bad shape Just the last
two or three weeks. Al the business
meeting last Monday night, Mr.. Seth
Curtis was put In charge OF the tennis
court. The court should be cleaned
up at once, before the weeds get any
higher The younger children are de-
sirous Of playing evenings, and when
the cooler days come again the court
will be fully occupied.
Mrs. c. T.. Bunker was appointed
chairman OF q committee 10 carry on

has been postponed from time TO time
on account Of there being so many

not only need the membership fees, but
most Of all we want the interest OF all
the citizens, and want their names on
our list as indicating their support and
cooperation.
The Community Sings have been dis
