PENSACOLA. FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25. 1911.
Mr. N.P.Bryan and
j jhe Federal Income Tax.
There are two great questions how
(before the American people and with
j which the federal congress has to deal.
nOne is the matter of the direct election
of United States senators and the other
lis the .federal income tax. Mr. N. P.
jBryan. Wee Mr. W. A. Blount, favors
(the direct election of senators; but Mr.
Bryan, unlike Mr. Blount, dodges the
Issue involved in the income tax. Mr.
Blount not only advocates an incoma
tax. but he wants a graduated income
tax and an inheritance tax, while Mr.
Bryan's advertising matter states the
.Jacksonville candidate's position as
follows:
J lie does not advocate a federal In
come tax, because congress has already
'passed favorably upon that proposition
'and as senator he would have nothing
to do with it.
If Mr. Bryan is opposed.to an incomo
rtax he could say so in much fewer
word than the above, but if ho wants
to dodge the question he ought to at
least give a plausible reason. Tho
etatcment that as United States sen-
etor 'he would have nothing to do
with if is an awful admission for a
man who aspires to serve in the upper
branch of congress.
As a matter of fact, a United States
fienator would have everything to do
with it. In tho event that tho states
ratify tho amendment, the senate can
determine whether or not any tax shall
Y,m levied and., if levied, how large it
hall be. Or, while tho states have it
Under consideration, congress may at
any time reconsider the resolution sub
mitting the amendment and It is neces-
aary therefore to have friends of the
policy in both houses of congress to
.prevent any attempt to that effect.
When Mr. Bryan says that as Unlt-yl
States senator "he would have nothing
to do" with an income tax, he either
wilfully attempt to deceive the people
,r he exposes an ignorance of the sub
. Jeet that is painful to contemplate in
candidate for so high an office.
Really, without looking it up, can
ny editor tell what is tho cause or
the Mexican revolution? That is, the
last one.
The Chinamen are coming to realize
that it should not longer be said that
their empire is a hack number, and
progress is being made along various
lines. Notable among theso is the cru
sade against the opium habit which ?a
so common there. Whether the influx
of missionaries and travelers from
other countries has been the means tf
bringing about this awakening or som.i
ether unknown movement, it is a fact
that tho opium consumed in that coun
try Is decreasing year by year, and the
better class aro looking down upon
those who continue the use.
Mardl Gras in Pensacola is worth

Although public sentiment Is ; posi
tively In favor of the direct election of
United States senators, the "interests"
aro fighting It strongly and the regular
Republicans will hold out for the prcs
ent method of electing senators. While
the direct vote method will not always
insure the election of the best man, it
will prevent the wholesale buying of a
legislature and the people will come
nearer being represented. The public
Is becoming better informed on na
tional questions and in a few more
' years it can be depended upon to make
the choice and the best men will be
; chosen.

Democrats ore not satisfied with

The DeSoto County News is one of
those good papers which has the happy
faculty of being fair and square in its
criticisms. In summing up the two
candidates for United States senator,
it says;
Beware of extreme partisanship. Do
not believe cither of the Florid ians
running for the United States senate Is
either a rascal, demagogue, .fool, up
start or a corporation tool, who will
work for "the interests" and not "the
people." Both aro human and both

LAST HEAT IN THE
SENATORIAL DERBY
a
Live Oak Democrat,
And now the last heat in the great
senatorial Derby is on, and with all the
people of Florida looking on, the two
thoroughbreds, Blount and Bryan, have
started in on the final "magnificent
burst of speed" for the royal prize hung
up for the winner. The Democrat
takes the unexciting role of the impar
tial commentator and historian on the
issue and is content to record events
as they occur, sure that the people will
do the right thing and that Florida
will get a ' good senator, no matter
which one wins.
At this writing, which is before the
official count by the state committee,
Mr. Blount's total vote is set down at
13.245; Mr. Bryan's total vote, 8,503,
and Mr. Stockton's total vote, 7,526.
These figures eliminate Mr. Stockton
and give Mr. Blount' a heavy lead of
more than 4,000 votes over Mr. Bryan.
This is a large advantage in the pend
ing contest, and carries with it a cer
tain prestige which may make many
additional votes for Mr. Blount, as it
is one of the marked trails of human
nature to want to get on what looks to
be the winning side.
The problem of the second primary,
of course, .is, to which candidate will
the Stockton vote, or the greater part
of It, go. It is fair to assume that -Mr.
Blount will hold the full strength of his
vote in the recent primary; and if he
does this, and there shall be no larger
total vote polled in the second than :n
me nrst primary, considerably less
than half of Stockton's strength given
to him would elect him. But it is by
no means certain that he can get it.
Mr. Stockton's vote came largely from
men who were his devoted personal
followers, who have stayed with him in
all his campaigns, more or less, by his
personal wishes in the coming primary.
He has addressed a public letter to
them asking their support for Mr. Bry
an, and If they comply that gentleman
will be elected, assuming that he will
continue to hold his vote In the first
primary.
Messrs. Blount and Bryan have both
started in on the final test of strength
with much vigor, and doubtless as far
as possible, they will go over the same
ground they did before. There is noth
ing new to be said now by either in
the way of argument, and they can
only repeat and emphasize what thqy
have already said.
But speechmaking nor literature has
much Influence over a large section of
voters who neither hear the one nor
read the other, and are governed by
fragmentary bits of campaign talk,
personal likes or dislikes or fixed pre
conceptions in casting their ballots.
There are perhaps enough of these,
now released from their allegiance to
Mr. Stockton, to determine the issue.
How they will vote no man can ac
curately predict, no matter how well
informed he may be, nor how shrewd
ly he may reason. They are the un
known quantity in the. coming primary,
and while Messrs. Blount and Bryan
both profess themselves sure of vic
tory, we can share the confidence or
neither because we can't look into the
minds of these Stockton voters who
may or may not follow their defeated
leader into the camp of Mr. Bryan.

Mr. Blount is probably the most
brilliant lawyer in the State of Flor
ida. His education has been broad.
He has never allied himself with po
litical factions, but as a State Senator
worked in the legislature, notably in
connection with the reorganization of
the school system. If called to Wash

rank among his colleagues almost
from the beginning and -would add
greatly to Democratic strength at the

ANOTHER BRYAN
BOOMERANG
Charge That Blount's Absence From State Senate Was
In Interest of L. & N. is Refuted By Those
Who Were Interested in Suit at Issue.
TO THE VOTERS OF FLORIDA:
We, the undersigned voters of Es
cambia county, Florida, have heard
that it was stated by Mr. N. P. Bryan,
that Mr. W. A. Blount, the leading
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, was absent from his duties in the
Senate f Florida, for 18 days during
the session of 1905, and that most
of the time he was engaged in filing
injunctions against the Railroad Com
mission, in the interest of the Louis
ville & Nashville Railroad, and in
fighting for a five cent per mile rail
way fare for a section of that road.
In contradiction of this statement,
v.e beg to say that Mr. Blount was
engaged during the time mentioned,
in the prosecution of a lawsuit in
Mobile. Alabama, with which the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Com
pany had nothing whatever to do.Hmt
in which only private interests were
involved. One of the undersigned,
Judge John C. Avery, was of . coun
sel for the opposite party to the suit,
and the others were witnesses in the
case.
We make this statement in simple
friends and supporters throughout the
state. It was no more than had been
expected for (him to carry W. Florida
almost solidly, "but even his most
ardent and enthusiastic supporters
had not looked for such a vote for
bira in East and Middle Florida.
His popularity is so large that it
is believed that Mr. Bryan will see
the futility of entering the second
primary and allow Mr. Blount to be
declared the nominee.
The tremendous vote for Mr. Blount
is a testimonial of his integrity and
worthi He has never been a candi
date before, but the people !had of
him and 3;new that he would make
Florida any able and faithful sena
tor.
If it comes to a second primary Mr.
Blount's supporters "will unite and put
him in with a majority that will
smash all former records. Santa Rosa
Star.
Endorsement From Home.

Blount in his 'home town is a fine
tribute to his character. Out of 2695
votes he received ?414. Nine out of

The magnificent run marlr? by thi
West Florida candidate in all sections
of the state was a surprise even to his
supporters. Mr. Blount likes only a
few hundred rotes of equalling both
of his opponents, carrying a great ma
jority of counties in Pouth Florida,
which were slated for Bryan and
Stockton. The returns are not yet
complete to admit of a full discussion
at this time but Justifies the conclu
sion that the West Florida candidate
if he is not already nominated will re
