DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS There will be a l.irge number of Presidential Electors on the ticket to be used in the Novem ber election, and it behooves democrats to become familiar with the Bryan electors, who are as follows: For Presidential Electors: H. P. BAILEY. P. W. BUTLER, ROB'T. E. DAVIS. GEO. C. MARTIN. 1 SAMUEL PASCO Tbe Supreme Court is expected to band down its decision in the Kehoe-Mays controversy to day. The decision is awaited with in terest throughout the State. October is nearly Rone and yet that extra session of the legislature has not even been called. What's the raa'ter. Toir,'.nus? Your "sit thinn" prophecy seems to l.avir s.ij l'f l a cos or two At the special rqJest of tl-.e presidential candidate. Mr. Pry an. Congressman frank Clark nf Florida is putting in this week and next mailing speeches in New York State. Clark is one of Florida's greatest political orators. Beginning next Monday and continuing through the week Jacksonville's big carnival will occupy the center of Florida's amusement stage. Jacksonville carnivals in past years have been worth a trip to the city and this year will be no excep tion to the rule. There will be fun and frolic fast and furious enough to please and satisfy the most exa:tinc and it is a safe bet tbai thousands of Floridians w"il' gather in the city next week to enjoy the festivities. Justice of the Peace Howell and Will Coulter, clerk to Jus tice Willard. became involved in a war of words in a Ja'-kson-yille restaurant one day last week. Coulter pulled a gun and shot Howell. Howell got tbe gun from his assailant and then hot him. Both men are now in the hospital seriously wound ed. There was no necessity for tbe shooting and there would have been no shooting but for the too reody pistol in tbe pocket of one of the men. The carrying of pistols is dangerous and unnecessary Public senti ment should be aroused to the felly of it. Han. J. Walter Kehoe bas signified his iutentiou to with draw Ins name as a candidate for Congress in the event that the Supreme Court shall decide that Judge Malone bad jurisdic tion to issue his mandamus to the Executive. committee requir Jitg tbat body to re-canvass tbe returns and declare the norm according thereto. But sup nose that the Court should de cide tbat Judge Malone bad no iuriadiction in the matter that the co-nmittee itself was the court ot last resort and tbat from its decision and judgment there is no appeal, will that alter the fact tbat a biased nd partisan majority of said com.nittee de liberately perverted justice and declaredtbenomineeor tbe party to be the favored friend of that majority in the face of the fact lUal u,e Peol)le 01 u' e district had by a clear majority vote elected another as their Con. gressional candidate? We think not, and we Delieve that tbe people who constitute tbe true court in this matter will not reverse themselves in the final ut-cision wmcu win oe nanaea down on Tuesday, November i.'id. Mr. Kehoe can well afford to make his "grand stand play"' at this time, but he would have found more favor with the peo ple had he accepted the result of the primary in June and not lrouglit upon the democracy of the district all of this confusion and bitterness. "If your friend goes wrong, even -.grievously wrong, it is base in you to desert him," says the Gainesville Elevator. "Then, more than ever, does be need your help, and on tbe supposi tion that he has been your true friend, be is entitled to it. Of course, you can neither approve or condone his wrong doing. . It may become your painful duty 10 tell him with the utmost c.i:.dor what you think of his faults, but never kick hitr. while v"-yh idy else is engaged in the -a ;; - 1 l:-;:u's. To do that re quires no courage nothing but a !;'.t!e cheap bluster. " V. II. McCormack has taken editunal charge of the Live Oak Democrat. 2.cCormack. who is better known in Florida as J. I'. Sherwood, has been :n charge of that paper before Indeed it might be said that it was under his management and co'ntrol that the paper grew to its present importance and use fulness. We are glad to wel come bim back to tbe ranks cf journalists and hope that he will succeed in bringing the pa per back to its former bub standard. Florida Confederate Veterans aie gathered to day in Tampa in annual re-union and tbe peo ple of that wonderful town are outdoing themselves to make the occasion one to be remem bered by the guests. Tbe ranks of the "Johnnies" are being rapidly depleted by the grim reaper, death, and it is the duty of all of us to render unto these heroes of another day that re spect and homage which is their just due Have you contributed to the democratic campaign fund yet? If not, permit us to remind you that the time is growing short and as the day of election draws nearer the need of cash to finance the campaign becomes more apparent. Send in your dollar to help along the cause. It will be appreciated and used w'.tre most needed.

Everything is flooded and the dredges are at a standstill. We sincerely trust that conditions are not so bad as represented and that all tbe work tbat has been done thus far will nt go for naught. Bartow Courier-Informant. Amen, and amen. When they enter the polling hoo'h (..
