FRESH, PURE, TRUE, RELIABLE Car of Pure Maine Bliss Potatoes £ £ It is my determined purpose in this article as well as in the campaign to follow, to deal in entire candor with the public, and I am very frank to state that the ambition to repre- sent the good people of the great ccunty of Pelk in the hall of legis- lation is a laudable ambition, and I very much desire the position 1 aspire to Should I be honored and en- trusted with the responsibility or rcpresenting this the county of my acdoption and State of my birth in the Legislature, I will endeavor to the best of my abiltiy to protect and promote the many diversified indus- tries within its confines and lend such aid and encouragement that will tend to the future progress, prosperity and upbuilding of the county and State, I am heartily in favor of good roads and hope that all parties in po- sitlon to h2lp mould public opinion will use their best endeavors towards crystallizing a sentiment favorable to Federal aid in improving our public highways. In this connecton I am in favor of the abolition of the CON- VICT LEASE SYSTEM and the con- victs of the counties used for the maintenance and building of county reads as well as state highways. I favor better educational facilities all over the State and an extension o7 school terms in the rural districts and the establishing of a limited number of night schools for that class of young men and women who otherwise can not take advantage of our day schools. 1 am in favor of the reclamation of the Everglades and that the state lands in this territory be classified by a competent commission appoint- ed by the Legislature, and that o por- tion of these lands be placed on the market in small tracts for the encour- agement of homeseekers, and the revenue derived therefrom be cone verted to the school fund.

I am in favor of a labor commis- sion or arbitration board if it is made an elective office. But would be unalterably opposed to the crea- tion of this office if it was created by an appointive power. A much-mooted question is the fee system of county officers. [ am in §|favor of putting these officers upon |2 substantial salary where the in- $3|terest of the public will not suffer g |thereby. In some particulars I am convinced that the fee system is an & |incentive to greater endeavor upon g |tke part of the incumbent. ' I will favor and advocate a state | liability law, taking from the pres- glent law (known as the fellow sepy. 3(ant law) the question of contriby. & | tory negligence except for such cas. | valties as are caused by the serious 3|or wilful misconduct on the part of the employe.
