First Statement of Campaign
Expenses Did Not Reach
State Secretary on Time.
Especial 70 The JournaIl

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 13.-
Congressman Herbert ]. Drane is a
qualified candidate for denomination
before the June primary When it be-
comes known this morning that his
first statement OF campaign expenses
had not been received at the office of
the secretary it seemed that perhaps
his failure had disqualified him. How
yer. the secretary of state received
the statement in this afternoons mail.
The postmark Of the envelope showed
that the letter was mailed at Lake
land on the eleventh and but for the
fact that II was transmitted by regis
tered mail would have been received
in Tallahassee on yesterday.
The same applies 70 j. H. SwinlS, of
Miami, candidate for state attorney,
for the eleventh judicial circuit. His
statement was also received this af-
ternoon and was postwarked on May
11th.
J. II. Jones. of Orlando, candidate for
state attorney of the seventeenth ju-
dicial circuit, today wired the secre-
tary of state that he had mailed his
statement at olando on the eleventh
but had heard that the same had not
been received. In reply, the secretary
OF state telegraphed him to mail a
duplicate together with his affidavit
that the original was properly mailed
on the eleventh.
This disposes OF ell except Judge
Charles o. Andrews OF Orlando, can
didate for denomination as circuit
Judge OF the seventeenth circuit. At
torneys point out that section 1898 re-
vised general statutes provides that q
candidate falling TO file the required
statement forfeits his right to have his
name on the official ballot at either
the primary or the general election,
and since Judge Andrews is without
opposition. his name would not APP
pear on the primary ballot and since he
is candidate for an appointive Of
flee. as a matter of course. his name
would not appear on the general cleo
ton ballot His statement has not
been received.

WOULD HAVE A

the Commission.
FRANCE SUGGESTS A
SPECIAL COMMISSION
Is Unwilling to Have Russians
SIT With Commission Discuss
ing Russian Finances.

GENOA, May f3.-France has ap-
pealed 10 the United States to partici-
pate in the proposed international com
mission TO investigate the Russian
situation The American ambassador
Richard Washburn child, informed the
Associated Press tonight that such q
proposal has been submitted to him
by fhe French delegation.
The ambassador understood that the
French proposal suggests that the
United states. il the invitation is ac-
cepted, would have a document voice
in the action Of the commission, but
would not be bound by her accept
ance to any decisions Of the commits
sion, which she did not approve.
II the United states accepts, France
would agree 10 the Russians being rep
resented IN the commission.
Premier Lloyd George and M. Bar
thou were in private conference for
two hours this afternoon, APPARENTLY
without reaching an agreement for
solving the Anglo French deadlock on
the plans to continue he discussions
Of the Russian problem. The subcom-
mission on Russian affairs also met
ana argued for more than three hours
without definite results.
Mr.. Lloyd George will have con-
ference at his villa tomorrow morning
with Baron Hayashi, NJ Barthou, M.
Jaspar, and Signor Schanzer in an
effort to reach a compromise.
After the meeting Of the subcom-
mission. Sir Edward Grigg. secretary
to the British prime minister said
there had been progress but gave no
definite explanation Of its nature. The
French and British delegations he as
serted were well on the road to an
agreement, but nothing definite was
reached. Accounts of the meeting by
members of other delegations however,
give little indication that compromise
is any nearer.
The Russians have announced that
they will not accept any plan exclud-
ing them from the discussions. on one
thing all the delegations agree. the in
viting powers, the little Entente and
the Baltic Entente as well as the
neutrals. namely, that somehow the
United States must be induced to par
ticipate In the mixed commission. NJ
Colrat, French under secretary of
state informed the Associated Press
that he still felt confident of an ac-
cord. France Is still unwilling to have
Russians sit with the mixed commits
sion discussing Russian finances, but
suggestions have been made that
special commission of Russian experts
be formed. which may be called In by
the mixed commission when il de-
sires information.
Again the Russians declare that they
will not accept any such plan, as that
would not be dealing with them on an
equality basis, and 1t is difficult for
tsAs delegations to find any plan ap-
pealing to both the Franch and Brit
ish and yet not offensive to the Rus
SLAMS.

HOW TO WIN CREDITS

glance az the credit schedule will
show the big credit values Of six year
subscriptions. For example one six year
subscription counts 1000 credits while
a one year subscription counts 5000 votes.
in other words one six year subscription
is many times more valuable than a one
year subscription.
Figure this out for yourself-it is easy
to see that the Club members who are
most successful this week Will be the
ones who get the greatest number OF ong
term subscriptions. In fact a few six
year subscriptions turned In from unex
pected sources would make a new leader
in the race.
Keep In mind, too, that every s27
"club" OF subscriptions turned In en-
titles you to 100000 EXTRA FREE
CREDITS, besides the regular number Of
credits allowed on the subscriptions.
So remember 20 keep altar the six year
subscriptions which are biggest IN credit
value. That's the way TO win the prize
Of your choice.
