Pensacola Journal ad for the White Democratic candidates

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 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."
