People who must cross the ocean will doubtless not be so anxious to take a ship that is trying to make a world record.

Tt'we shall expect, and it shall be the! may be, as he states, that he did not get aboard the boat until there were no more women who would go, but doubt will always attach to this, and the world will believe that he selfish=1cypport as long or as often as there!e Iy used his oflicial power as presi- dent of the line to save his own lil2 at the expense of others, Like most other weekly newspa- pers the Lakeland News is carryi lot political advertising these days.

Fla., as follows: | 1. That the Southern people have [100 long permitted mistaken ideas of political expediency to curb or crip- (ite their useful and necessary parti- E|;||:ninn in the governmental affairs in!‘ the nation, and that every consid- eration of patriotism or of sectional Wilson gets the fullicr ancestral pride calls to the Demo-| crats of the South to resume and to {continue their former activity in the affairs of our national government— {to claim again their just share in its| |n'unam-mc-m and assume their share | of its responsibilities. 2. That every citizen of the United States, qualified under its laws, ma; rightfully aspire to its presidency, and that any community, state or section may rightfully support and advocate the candidate of its choice, and should not for so doing have its motive impugned. 3. That in Mr. Underwood we have 1 man eminently worthy of the sup- poert of the people of the United State for the presidency, both as to Lis capacity and experience; that his masterly leadership in Congress, his l‘)l':n-li( al and effective statesmanship, and unparalleled achievements in se- curing the of long e ¢ through Congress 1 tariff legislation, ing issues of the approaching na- tional campaign, and our most logi- ccal candidate for president, 4. That we condemn the above stated criticism of Mr. Underwood and his candidacy, as arising from 'f.n-llonul intolerance and partisan lmm‘nv«'lw.~-s, and urge upon Demo- crats everywhere to support him in the coming primary, and to use ev- ery reasonable and proper means to advance his candidacy. 5, That in the event Mr, Under- preferential vote for president in the approaching primary in this State, duty, of the delegates that may b lllm'lml to the Baltimore convention, to vote for and support him faith- tully, and to continue to rencw their : be nomination. m 6. That the deteat of any candi- fdate in this State, ?l'lul«-l'\\mul, shall not be used to mili- tate against such defeated candidate in any contest in the national con- vention between such candidate and some other candidate or candidates tor the nomination, who have not fa- vored the people of this State with the opportunity to vote for them in cur primary election, 7. That in the event the candidate receiving a majority of the preferen- tial in this State cannot be nominated at the national conven- tion, the delegates that may be elect- ed to the convention from this State shall not be absolved from their oh- ligations to either the majority or the minority of the voters of this State as expressed in the preferen- tial vote in the primaries, but such delegates shall continue under obli- ations to both the minority and the rinjority of the voters of this State S0 expressed; votes 1d any aspirant to be- come a delegate who wonld hold such obligation in contemptuous disre- sard is unworthy of support, 8.

PARK TRAMMELL is the LEAD- LING CANDIDATE is the report from all over Florida. He will have a big lead with a chance to win in the first primary.

CONVICTS-SUGAR: Mr. Milton's plan for a convict cane farm and sugar factory WILL INCREASE ITAXES about EIGHT MILLS to get ready for EXPERIMENTING in cane growing for sugar on the new un- as itried and unseasoned Everglado lands. SUGAR PROFITS: Louisiana’s convict cane furms have made no lsuch profits as the figurues set forth in Mr. Milton’s literature. The facts show but bare wages for the con- victs, TAXPAYER: Do you want 'known value—good roads—from the [1abor of the convicts WITHOUT A HEAVY TAX BURDEN, or do you want your TAXES RAISED EIGHT MILLS for getting ready for Mr. Mil- ton’'s EXPERIMENT, with an UN- CERTAINTY as to getting any value in return for the TAX BURDEN and the labor of the conviicts? PARK TRAMMELL advocates Ex- perimental farms in the Everglades, but says experiment with thousands WITHOUT A TAX BURDEN. Mr Milton’s plan means a HEAVY TAX BURDEN—a raise in TAXES of about EIGHT MILLS, for getting ready for the EXPERIMENT— And that with the RESULTS VERY UNCERTAIN.
