The tendency is strong toward fewer newspapers, and it is confldently predicted that there will not be as many papers in the country ten years hence as there now are. In fact, a large number of papers, especially the dailies, could be dis- pensed with, and it would be ad- ness and to the people as a whole, O When Vice President Marshall made his address at Fort Myers, it was claimeq that he expressed senti- ments friendly The other day gave further that some to socialism, at Washington he utterance a along this ITe said that might forget all of the is illuminating day he Socialists. “But,” he added, never do this until it frienq of the church; never while it flaunts on the streets a req banner in the face of faith in God and the marriage service, “I shall becomes a body in‘ is one of line | The socialism in ' which I believe, and to which T hope ! some day to adhere, is not thatwhich concerns itself with consideration of power and property, but that of spirit.” Many of us are Socialists to a certain extent, the vice president mentions are cor- recteq or eliminated, ism will never make any progress as a polit- ical organization. soci —0 ONE T}HNG TO REMEMBER ‘When you go to the polls Tuesday, June 2, remember that place or marking your ballot at the left of the name as you heretofore in have done, the cross must be made at the | right of the name of the whom you wish to vote is no extra effort requ it is expected that many vote lost among those to voting in this Stat o person for While there red to do this there a Hy who Florida to Yorm their own, there ery the Florida State I tion.
