AFTER THE BATTLE
Th Tampa Times tells the following
of the demeanor of the successful and
unsuccessful candidates for Congress In
th first district:
The smoke of the recent election bat
tle haying cleared away. Congressman
8. M. Spark man was found by a Times
reporter sitting at his desk behind, an
accumulation of mall and other papers
requiring Immediate attention. He was
hard at work all day dictating letters
and disposing of accumulated business.
Colonel Sparkman expressed himself as
being very grateful for tbe heary vote
cast for him all through the district. .
"We should all get to , work now,"
he said, "in the Interest of the state
and this section. I have just received
a letter stating that the rivers and
harbors bill, which passed the House
on March 19 would probably be report
ed to the Senate this week and
, brought before that body some time
next week. I will have to return to
Washington as soon as possible; by the
first of next week if other matters do
not prevent me from returning at that
time."
" State Attorney Herbert S. Phillips,
who ran against Mr. Sparkman for
Congress, was also busy at his desk.
I am getting ready for the opening of
circuit court on next Tuesday," he
said. "The Coffelt murder case will
come up for trial at that time." He did
not comment on the primary.
' Criticism of conditions under which
the church gained less than 2 per cent,
of its membership last year were made
In the bishop's report to the quadren
nial general conference of the Metho
dist Episcopal church now in session
at Minneapolis The episcopal address
was read by Bishop Cranston of
Washington, D. C, and stated: "A
statistical paradox glares us out of
countenance. It shames and humiliates
us. We face the patent fact that our
distinctive doctrines are not being em
phasized as they once were, or where
preached are discredited by again say
ing the world is drunk with vain phil
osophy and sated with gluttonous in
dulgences." Dr. Frederick Cook, the Arctic ex
plorer, lectured the other night before
a large audience in the great Heerhalle
in East Berlin. He was warmly ap
plauded by an audience composed of
the best class of people, serious stud
ents and scientific men and women.
The Impression created was decidedly
In Dr. Cook's favor. .
E. E. Galbraith, president of the
Second National Bank of Cincinnati
has been arrested, charged with mis
applying the bank's funds. The war
rant for Galbraith's arrest charges
him with misappropriating $33,000.
Edward Manrara, the pioneer cigar
man of Tampa, died in New York City
Thursday morning, aged 70 years. He
was a native of Camaguay, Cuba, and
came to Tampa In 1885.
At Augusta, Ga., yesterday, Presi
dent Taft attended a great memorial
service in honor of his late military
aid. Major Archibald Butt, who went
down with the Titanic. Major Butt
was a native of Augusta.
A German battleship squadron sails
from Hamburg for America on May 11,
proceeding- first to Hampton Roads, Va,
The warships will visit New York, re
turning: home In June.
Homer Davenport, cartoonist for the
Hearst papers, died in New York yes
terday of pneumonia, aged 44.
LOST MONEY
Money lost is a total loss.
But a lost check is only a lost
slip of paper of no value to a
chance finder. It can be
deplicated;
Thousands of dollars are
lost annually through care
lessness and theft by persons
who have no bank account.
If you are one of these, the
Munroe & Chambliss Bank
urges you to deposit your
money here in the future, pay
all bills by check and thereby
protect yourself against need
less loss.
We supply bank book,
checks, etc.

MIL TRAMMELL
THANKS HIS FRIENDS
To the Democratic Voters of Florida:
On reports received from Tuesday's
primary I have led with about 15,000
over the second candidate. I am Indeed
gratified and thankful for the expres
sion of confidence of my fellow Flor
idians as registered at the polls. I am
truly grateful to my friends and sup
porters for their efforts in my behalf,
throughout the entire state. I am
proudjthat Polk, my home county, Leon,
Hillsboro and Gadsden counties in
which I have lived and where I am best
known, all gave me a splendid majority
over the entire opposition. If a second
primary Is necessary, I shall very
much appreciate the continued support
of my thousands of friends and the sup
port of every voter who shall partici
pate in said primary. Many who sup
ported others in the first primary favor
me as their second choice. With their
support and those who voted for me in
the first primary, we will win in the
second primary by several thousand
majority. Park Trammell.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 3, 1912.
MANY REPUBLICANS
AGAINST THE MACHINE
A mass meeting of republican voters
of Marlon county was held at Yonge's
Hall last Monday. Many prominent and
influential men were present. The
meeting was a protest against the ma
chine methods by which the republican
officeholders, in Florida hold the party
in bondage and prevent its attaining
the strength and influence it should
have.
The delegates to last Monday's meet
ing declare that the calling of the
congressional convention of the first
district to meet in Palatka, which is in
the second, last January, was contrary
to party law and enough to invalidate
its proceedings. They say also that it
was attended by only a few men, se
lected by the bosses instead of elected
by the voters, and Its proceedings were
cut and dried beforehand.
The following delegates to the con
gressional convention, which meets in
this city May 17, were chosen, namely:
Geo. KRobinson, J. G. Kichline, H. A.
Kramer, George Giles, H. J. Wall, C E.
Adams.
Alternates: C. A. Scandrett, Levi Al
exander, F. P. Gadson, F. E. Wether
bee, D. S. Williams.
The following delegates were elected
to the state republican convention in
Jacksonville, May 18: M. J. Roess, Geo.
K. Robinson. J. G. Kichline, J. W. Al
exander, D. S. Williams, James G.
Mould.
Alternates: M. A. Rice, J. II. Harvey,
J. E. Gist, T. W. Baker, J. F. Redman,
W. J. Sheridan.
Mr. M. J. Roess is chairman of the
county executive committee and Mr. D.
S. Williams is secretary.

slated for the second race, his lead of
nearly 200 over the third man, Milton,
promising: to increase on the later re
turns. At the Trammell headquarters. Mr.
Trammel stated that his lead would be
increased at least 1.000 votes in the
counties that have not yet reported

Both Trammell and Gibbons have be

governorship, the vote for the presi
dential nomination is as follows:
Oscar Underwood 20,738
