PSIGE INSISTS HE 1
PE GIVEN PLAGE
OF HUDSON
Governor Again Asked to Is
sue Commission for Unex
pired Term on R.R. Board.
,I,ones D. Price, commissioner of agri
culture-elect, has written Governor
j; ,wn a formal communication asking
■ t lie be commissioned immediately
,>r the unexpired term of Thomas G.
Hudson, to which ho claims to have
1„ en duly elected in the regular state
election, as certified by Secretary of
State Phil Cook.
Mr. Price accompanies his demand by
„ legal opinion from former Supreme
Court Justice Andrew J. Cobb.
He requests the governor, in the
event the governor does not think It
legal to issue the commission at this
time, to refer the matter to Attorney
General Felder.
Governor Brown, when asked con
cerning the Price letter, would not dis
cuss it for publication, although he ad
mitted its receipt. He will make a
formal statement in reply to Mr. Price
Inter.
The official figures short that Mr.
price received 502 votes In the October
election for the unexpired term of Hud
son He was elected to a full term in
the same election, beginning next June,
by something over 54,000.
Governor Brown gave out a. state
ment some time ago concerning this
matter, in which he said he would hold
against Mr. Price's right to immediate
■ommisslon, inasmuch as his election
to and qualification for office came
within the same rule as the one laid
down for the governor and certain
other state house officers, which makes
legislative canvass and declaration of
tbe result a pre-requisite to commis
sion.
Fnder this rule, laid down in section
94 of the code, the governor holds that
he has no right to commission anybody
commissioner of agriculture before the
vote has been canvassed by the state
legislature next June. In this view of
the case, Commissioner Conner, the
Incumbent, will hold until June.
The governor Is so firm in his opinion
of tlaw that it is not at all likely he
will agree to refer the question to the
attorney general. He probably will
make reply to Mr. Price, setting forth
his views as formerly announced.
There Is no provision of law whereby
the governor may be , mandamused.
While neither Mr. Price nor the gov
ernor has discussed that phase of the
matter, it Is the general opinion that
there is more "big politics” behind
Price's move than is apparent upon the
surface of things.

JACKSONVILLE’S CARS
TO PREVENT RIOTING
JACKSONVILLE. FLA.. Nov. 4.—ln
an effort to prevent a repetition of yes
terday's lawlessness, when sympathiz
ers of the striking carmen stoned many
of the cars, the police guard around the
different car barns and on the street
cars has been doubled.
The prospect of an early settlement
Is remote, despite an all-night confer
ence between Governor Gilchrist, Mayor
Jordan and members of city council and
the Hoard of Trade. The strikers in
sist upon full recognition of the union’s
demand, which the railway company re
fuses absolutely to concede. A sympa
thetic strike in Tampa and other near
by cities is expected, and it is feared
that serious disorder will break out
here on election day.

GIBBONS SEES NO
CALAMITY AHEAD
Cardinal, in Message to Catho
lics on Eve of Election. Sug
gests No Preference.
BALTIMORE, MJ).. Not. 4—A mes
sage of assurance was given to the
Catholics of the United States today by
Cardinal Gibbons. The cardinal as
sured the members .of his nation-wide
pastorate that through dire predictions
as to the political and civil future of
the United States had gained credence
during the present campaign no mate
rial calamity could in reality come to
this country through political jugglery.
The cardinal closed his semi-political
discourse with a direct reference to the
three presidential candidates. He said:
“There are three conspicuous cltizen
who are now candidates for the presi
dency. Whatever may be my private
and personal preference and prediction,
It is not for me publiclj- to dictate or
even suggest the candidate of my
choice.
“May' God so enlighten the mind and
quicken the conscience of the American
people to a sense of their civic duties
as to arouse in them an earnest and
practical interest In the coming election
and may He so guide their hearts that
they will select a chief .magistrate who
will redound to the material piospe ity
and moral welfare of our beloved re
public.”
In regard to the crisis said to be fac
ing the voters of the United States, the
cardinal said in part:
“By the wise provisions of the con
stitution of the United States political
authority is not concentiated in one
individual, or in one department of the
administration, but is judicially distrib
uted so that the balance of power may
be preserved. Our general government
consists of the executive, the legisla
tive and the judicial branches, if any
thing goes wrong with any one of these
departments, the evil is cheeked by the
other two, and usurpation of power Is
prevented. There is an habitual jeal
ousy among these branches. They are
of the alert, jealously watching one an
other so that no one branch may exceed
Its legitimate bounds. Eternal vigi
lance is the price of liberty."
