The Republicans count most heay- ily on those sections where admin- istration has aroused greatest re- entment and fear for the future. Farmers Hold Answer If‘both of these expectations are-correct, then a great deal must depend on the agricultural class. Normally, over a long period, the farm sections of both east and west have been preponderantly Republican. In election after elec-; tion, in suthi tant states as New York and ‘Mlinois, the Repub- ing for the Poinciana now operat-|lican party has been able to ac- ing in the Intracoastal Waterway,!cumulate sufficient farm majori- and after that was to proceed to/ties to overcome heavy opposition Miami to relieve buoys.

Qualifications under the merit system are based on an eva@.uation of past experience and education, a written examination and a per- sonal interview, A State Merit System Commit- tee will rate all present staff mem- bers and new applicants as to past experience and education before they take the written examination. The writen gxaminatiopy are of a practical rather than a theoretical nature and are designed to test genera] intellectual background and understanding of social and ecomnic problems. After the written examinations have been graded, all persons who pass will be given a personal interview by the District Merit System Commit- tee so that their final rating may be established by the State Com- mittee, In order to be eligible for the examination, applicants must have at least a high school educatien and must be between twentyone and fifty years of age. Application bianks can be secured from Miss Hester M. Graham, Director, Dis- trict 10 Board of Social Welfare, 826 Newark Street. New appli- cants must have their applications in the district office by midnight, October 31st, 1936. The State Commttee, which will act as a governing board for the| looks like anything but a scrap-|tax allocation to our “counties,” state merit system plan, is com- posed of the following members: Mrs. J. W. McCollum, State Board member, Gainesville; Dean Mary B. Merritt, University of Miami; Dr, Elmer Hinkley, University of Florda; F, M. Blout, Dstrict Board member, Pensacola; Conrad Van Hyning, Comissioner, Jacksonville, and Miss Evalyn G. Weller, Assist- ant State Director of Personal and Training, Executive Secretary. The district committees will co- operate with the State Committee in carrynig out the merit system plan. In District 10, besides Dr. Herman, ehairman, the committee has the following members: J. Owen Bowen, Mrs. Charles Branch and Miss Martha Nelson, District Case Supervisor.

He started out under the Conservative flag, as was rather natural, but he quickly kicked over the traces and in a few brief years ran the gamut of political emo- tions, He deserted the Conservative party of his father and ancestors and went over to Socialism and the Laborites. Then he quit Labor and formed a party of his own— the “New Party”—and advocated dictatorship to remedy the eco- nomic ills of the country, There was a fascist tinge to the “New Party,” and this tinge be- came a blaze of color in 1932 when Mosley turned his organization in- to “The British Union of Fas- cists” and adopted the Mussolini tenets.

The largest number of visitors in any! one year to this Monument, prior} to its acquisition by the National Park Service, according to Mr. Kahler, was 95,000 people. “Such figures,” Mr, Coe con- cluded, “show the tremendous im- portance to Florida of early ac- quisition of the area for the Ever- glades National Park as set forth by the Department of the Interior in the Aet of Congress which was passed in May of 1934,” if Established in 1903 by late Dr. J.
