BAYARD MAY
LEAD BOYCE
ON IST VOTE
(cont.nned from Flrst Pagel

Continued from First Page)
here, today, II appears as IL Bayard's 8
followers will have the lead on the
opening ballot OF the convention at
Dover tomorrow. He may have from
90 to 100 votes on the first ballot,
they say. 1t will require 1O6 votes
to- nominate.
Another striking feature of SAT-
urdays primaries was the election
in this city OF two women as dele
gates TO the convention. ne Of these
Miss Anie Walker. won in contest
in the Third ward. The other, Mrs
Anna V. Donohue, was elected from
the Sixth ward without contest.
Both are favorable to the nomina-
tion Of Thomas +. Bayard
1t is fairly certain that Bayard
will have a commanding lead at the
opening OF the balloting in the con-
venuon, with the Ridgely, Boyce and
Knowles forces in the strategical po-
sition of holding the balance Of
power.

against the Wildcats. They can't hit;

The Palatka baseball team is a
bunch of hardworking, fair-playing
young men, and Ocala considers it an
honor to have them come here to play.
They are very poorly represented by
the sports writer of the Palatka News,
who tries to excuse his home team for
it's seldom defeats by dirty filings at
their opponents. That his statement,
Everybody beats the Cats but the
Pals" was dictated by his ignorance
or his malice is proven by the follow
ing record for the season of the Ocala
team:

larly in the coal fields. A settlement
through the labor board the president
