In the case of Tam- pa, if one bridge should be de- | stroyed, thete would be two oth- {ers to fall back on”. | Wason also stated today that |“some day Key West will have a | free court”. As to his past experience and | qualifications for the office of Attorney General, Mr, Watson} listed the following: From 1902, when he graduated | ‘from Military College at Dan- ville, Ga., to 1909, he was in business, chiefly to accumulate |funds for a legal education. He |was employed by the American Tobacco Company in New Or- leans, Chicago and Tampa. He was graduated from law school (Washington and Lee Uni- versity) in 1911, with LL.B. de- gree, and admitted to Virginia and Florida bars in the same year. Since then he has practiced law, chiefly in Florida, being admit- ted to all courts of the state as well as the United States Su- preme Court. In 1915 he was elected to the {post of Municipal Judge of Tam- pa, serving until 1918. He was a member of the state legislature | from Hillsboro county in 1931 jand 1932. Actively supporting all civic drives looking to the so- cial welfare and the betterment and improvement of living con- ditions in his community and |this state, Mr. Watson has been |leader in that respect. { Other public offices include |that of personal attorney for the liquidator of Florida State Banks under the administration of J. M. | Lee, Comptroller of Florida; and that of special attorney for De- 'partment of Justice in charge of |Cross State Canal title exam- ination work, offices at Ocala jand Jacksonville. | Mr, Watson is married and has three sons.

Consequently, only employees of these covered concerns are entitled to claim un- employment compensation when they lose their jobs. The purpose of unemployment comtpensation is to furnish some income to insured ‘workers dur- ing periods when they cannot get tmployment because of lack of work. Insured wage earners with sufficient previous employment will receive paynients ‘under cer- tain conditions and for a certain number of weeks. These pay- ments are not equal to the work- er’s regular wages, but they will help tide him over until he can get back to work.
