[ believe ninety-nine per | cent of the people of this State are | heartily in accord with the idea that the man and not the dollar shouldl triumph, and will welcome for all time to come a law that will stamp cut the idea, entertained by a few, | that public office is a chattel to be. sold ag_.public outery to the highest‘ bidder. Public School Advancement. Florida is well advanced in its public school system, yet our pres- ent day progress calls for its fur- ther improvement, and 1 shall advo- cate the raising of the standard of! our common scheols. In these prac- tical times, 1 believe we should give | great importance to the argicultural, the mechanical and domestic science features of school work. Agricultural and Farm Development. It is my purpose to labor for great- er agricultural and farm activity. 1 consider it wise that we enlarge the work of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the University, in dis-|§ seminating information to the farm- ers, the truckers and the fruit grow-I ers, in conducting Farmer's lnsti~, tutes, organizing corn clubs, tomato clubs and otherwise stimulating farm, grove and rural development. Fublic aid should be given to stamp cut pests that may become a public menace by injuring our grove products. Protection of Cattle Industry. The 1910 census credits Florida with about £00,000 head of cattle, valued at about eight million dol- lars. It jg estimated that about three per cent. of these die annually from West Main St Sebring, Florida The Town of Beautiful Locanon The Town of Progress The Town of Opportunity Inquire About It At Room 1, Raymondo Bldg., hkelund anda ' C D M’CAIN MANAGER. l W" I[ SIAR MARKIL GUY W, TOPH PROPRIETOR ‘S P.
