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. guardFdoubled on JACKSONVILLE’S CARS TO PREVENT RIOTING JACKSONVILLE.

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."
