POLTTICAL POT 15 SIILL BOILING Several more aspirants for politi- cal preference present their names to the voters through the Lakeland News this week. Mr. J. J. Boynton is a candidate for re-election to the office of tax as- sessor. There is a general feeling that Mr. Boynton has made good during his incumbency of this of- fice, any he goes before the voters with a very strong case in his favor. Mr. J. O. Whidden, of Bradley Junction, announces as a candidate for representative. Mr. Whidden has a large family connection anid Y4 host of friends in his section, and he will no doubt prove an interest- ing entry for his competitors. For county treasurer, Mr. W. J. J. Whidden, of Bartow, makes an- nouncement. Mr. Whidden has been before the people in a political way before this, angd with his wide acquaintanceship and excellent qual- ifications will prove a factor in the Tace. There is no more important of- fice to be filled by the people than that of county commissioner. When Mr. Holbrook resigned a few months ago, Mr. J. C. Swindell was appointed to fill out his term. He has done such excellent service dur- ing the short time he has been in this position that his frienids insist that he shall keep the job, and they have made his announcement, and ask for him the support of the vot- ers.
