The best way to avoid the making of a mistake that 'might cost our party the victory is to elect as delegates men who are sound Democrats without any factional ax to grind. The interests of the Florida Democracy will be in safe hands if the following well known Democrats are sent to the convention These gentlemen favor Harmon or Under- wood, but will be governed by the in- structions of the primary and use their best efforts to promote harmony in the party: For Delegates National Democratic Convention, State at Large. Vote for six. VOTE FOR C. A. PARKER. First, because he unquestionably is qualified to fill the office with cred- it to himself and county. Second, because we believe he will use all of his energy to better the conditions of the schools, Third. because he is enc of our na- tive sons, who has made good in ev- ery position that he has filled Fourth and last, because he has made a clean campaign and has not indulged in any mud slinging what- ever. Therefore we believe that the grand old county of Polk will, with pleasure, honor her sons, when he proves to he as competent as is the case with Parker. FRANK E. CHASE E. S. CRILL A.
