A '''municipal election''' was held on [[June 6]], [[1905]], to select officials of the [[City of Pensacola]]. The election was a "clean sweep" for the new White Democratic Party, whose candidates were elected in an [[April 4]] primary and advocated [[Wikipedia:white supremacy|white supremacy]] in municipal government. The ''[[Pensacola Journal]]'' gave much favorable coverage to the White Democratic candidates, especially mayoral candidate [[Charles H. Bliss]], labeling opponents "Anti-White."

+==General election==
-<blockquote>The majorities were all so large and the victory itself so decisive that it settles not only the question of the legality and the regularity of the White Primary, but it settles for all time to come the White Primary proposition in this city. … From the time the returns began to come in and the election of the Democratic ticket was indicated, crowds swarmed around The Journal office and The Journal was congratulated on all sides on its great fight for the White Primary and the Democratic ticket—congratulations which The Journal heartily reciprocates with the White Democracy of Pensacola.<ref>"Victorious White Primary Democracy." ''Pensacola Journal'', June 7, 1905.</ref></blockquote>
