PRICE FIVE CENTS James Franklin, Candidate For State Senator, Heard On Issues Of Campaign Here Last Evening) Senator Gomez Replies To Statements Made By Op- ponent On Stand At Bay- view Park a James A. Franklin, candidate for state senator, from the twen- ty-fourth senatorial district, ad- dressed the voters last night at Bayview Park in the interest of his candidacy. Mr. Franklin was imtroduced by Dr. William R. Warren. | At the outset of his talk, Mr. Franklin said that he felt that Monroe County should elect a rep- resentative from the mainland dis- trict as‘ there never has been one given the chance to serve the peo-; ple since this senatorial district| was created a great many. years ago. The speaker said his platform, in aspiring to the office, was for inereased funds for public schools, better pay for teachers and im- proved conditions in all depart. ments dealing with these institu- tions of learning. Tax Exemption Exemption of tax on gasoline consumed by motor boats, many; of which are used by fishermen in’ making a livelihood; farmers, who may also have use for motors, and: who also derive no benefits from! public highways, and others in the‘ same category. A workmen’s whereby»those in various ways, was another | measute which he promised to; “ sponsor in the event of his elec-} tion. ’ He spoke of many other issues involved: in the campaign, and a whole promised, if successful His race, to give the people of this! district a much more efficient ad- ministration than is the case at the present time. Mr, Franklin then started to tell of the shortcomings of Senator Gomez, according‘ to his view of the situation. He said: “Senator Gomez on one occa- sion in the senate voted against the horse racing bill, and after the governor had vetoed the meas. ure, he went right back to the senate and voted for it. Gomez 1 claimed at all times that he fav-‘pitals and the other half to the astern horizon in a long column auxiliaries, ered the bill, but when it first came up, he voted against it be- gatse he was not allowed the privilege of talking on the meas- ure sufficiently, which was his main desire., “Gomez voted against the sev- en and a half million dollar school; fund because the measure did not meet with tite wishes of the gov- ernor. “Gomez endeavored to Lr credit for the passage of every good bill that was passed, but the! fact of the matter was that the only bill that he succeeded in get- ting through was a measure deal. ing with the pilot commission.” Gomez Takes Stand At the conclusion of Mr. Frank- lin’s address, Dr, Warren introduc- ed Senator Gomez, who took the, ; sion ban, TOMORROW HAS BEEN DESIG. compensahion $ : Famer. \NATED.
