When anything first-class is want- ed, from men to melor statesmen plants to engi- neers, people are beginning to un- derstand that Lakeland is the place to apply. Witness the ling of a| Lakelang engineer to Jacksonville to work out the problems connected with the big dock project in that city. We have the best in all lines. 0 The Florida watermelon crop is beginning to move, carrying joy to our northern friends and bringing back shekels to our growers. May the luscious product prosper in this two-fold mission of beneficence and establish itself in this class along- side our oranges ang strawberries. Lakeland is this year one of the centers of the movement, one of the biggest handlers of melons establish- ing headquarters here, and there be- ing many big crops in this vicinity. 0 to strawberries, It is a high crime and misdemean- |« or that a Democratic postmaster has not been appointeq at Tampa; also treason on the part of the Florida delegation that an appointment has not been made for Jacksonville. But Mr, L'Engle, who has the Orlando postoffice in his gift, is whiling away the time before the primary by hav- ing the various applicants for the | position secure personal endorse- ments and send them to him at Washington. These delays are abso- Jutely inexcusable, treasonable, fel- onious, when ascribeq to Mr. Spark- man or Mr. Fletcher; but perfectly all right when Claundius wishes to play for time. Oisarimiain The introduction of the new elec- tion law, whereby county commis- sioners will in future be elected by the county at large instead of by districts as heretofore, is meeting with general approval. For a long time this reform has been agitated in the State Legislature, but with- out result. The district system in the counties is on a par with the ward system in cities, and both are antiquated, and shoulq be relegated to the scrap heap of worn out po- litical methods. By the new system, the voters throughout the several counties of Florida will have the op- portunity they ought to have of de- ¢iding on who shall repesent them in ! the administration of the county's affairs. Much better results can un- | doubtedly be obtaineq by abolishing district lines. section of the county will be on an By this method every equal footing, and the needs and the requirements of cach and every sec- tion will he these may viewed impartially, and needs met permit.

Bryan, author of the new primary law, after reading the many discussions anent its will prove simple, workable and easy for understanding when in newspaper intricacies, says it operation. He explains the law as follows “Under the old plan, after the first primary was held, the leading candidate haq been defeated. These defeated voters were the balance of power. The new law does not depart from this process, for the reason that their second votes are the only ones which are added to the total of the leading candidates. They determine the re- sult. “For instance, four in the _race, A, B, € in order named. Y D, and your se You therefore vot: D-A ballot. On the other you vote an A-B ot ar B lead, them your counted, for the reaso be illogical to permit your \pu}‘m; choice vote to car that of ybur first choice. “Some are under tl impression that by ‘single shotting” or fa to vote for a second choice, an ad- vantage will accrue for the first choice. This is absolutely impossi-‘ ble. If you vote for C alone an'd‘ C is defeated, it is the same as if § recognized as candidates are 1 D, and run ir preference is hoice is A. hat is called a hand if A and is not that it would | ure 2 i |county: THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKE you had voted in the first primary and hagq failed to participate in the second. If the voter single-shoots A and declines to vote for B, his secong choice, and these two lead, nothing is gained, for, as I explained be- fore, if he haq voted A-B his vote for B would not be counted. Tf the vot- ers will impress it upon themselves that no second choice votes will be counted excepting those for the de- feated candidates they will have tne solution of that question. “It has been said that a plurality nomination is possible. Where three candidates are running it is possible but not probable. Very early in ev- ery campaign two candidates impress themselves upon public opinion as leaders.” GOOD ROADS FOR FLORIDA We believe that never in any part of the country was there a greater |interest for good roads than there is now among the progressives of Mid- dle anq South Flor:da, which is one of the best signs of the times. Many inquiries have come to this office re- garding the experimental roaq at Eus piece of s, and it will no doubt be the mecca for many visitors. Wg hope that some one will be on hand to give 'detailed description on the methods of making cost of Machin- ery necessary, availability of oil, ete, Good roads Florida must have. With good roads everything else wil] come, following as the natural course of events. Good roads will bring people of leisure and means, anq what Florida needs is capital for o g e G P P % B BB PP P PRI R PBRPD DD B N development. So it will come about that all money invested in good roads by the people of Florida cre- ates interest by drawing capital, in that the investor will be drawn here. The railroads are also reaching out into new territory, much to the disgust of the panther, bear, wild deer, the Indian and some “let well enough alone’ natives, who want no improvements of any kind. Usually the men who are for the razor-back hog are against good roads and any development or improvement.—Flor- ida Grower. HELPFUL WURDS From a Lakeland Citizen Is your back lame and painful?
