M. Lee, candidate election lie’ for re- state comptroller, be- es old age pensions are e sential in the economic strueture of the nation and the state. Believing in this theory, Flor-| idians can depend upon him to support any effort to bring ade- quate security to the aged of our state. If any one wants to know what J. M. Lee will do about collecting these moneys to pay old age pen- sions, he needs only to ask any Confederate veteran or an teacher. Jim Lee has insisted on tax collections so vigorously that teachers have been id their full $9,000,000 this year for the first time in history and the spectre of insufficieney hovering over the pension fund three years ago has been swept away and replaced with the assurance that never will be a shortage in this pension fund as long as Lee is Comptroller. Jim Lee lives up to his promises —as for instance read what he promised in 19 i what he performed. Read his circular and check on his performance. 5. M.

The matter has been turned down he said. Nevertheless, said Mr. Wilcox, | “I want to talk to the president /on this matter and would like to have an interview with the presi dent and ask you to arrange it.” { Mr. MeIntyre arranged the re- | quested interview and Mr. Wil- cox placed the entire matter be- | fore the president who, after con- iditions in Key West had been ex-! | plained, called conferences with ‘the PWA and in a short time the | | matter of bridges was reopened, ! | from a purely sympathetic stand-} ‘ point. } : Then followed a tedious and trying series of conferences with every division of the government ‘which had turned down the | proposition, and about three weeks ago after the tortuous j mazes of the legal division had been gone through, approval of the engineering, financial and le- gal divisions had been secured. ; He then pleaded and tegged jthat some of the legal red tape iwould be cut through and the ; matter coneluded to the satisfac- j tion of everybody and the people of Key West made happy. : Given Assurance { I have the word of the |who has the last word in these matters that everything will be all right.
