C1ay'n Gain.

On the present valuation of property
the taxpayers of Clay county would be
assessed for State taxes this year, un-
der Democratic rule, $6,074.77. Were the
Republicans in power, with their rate Of
l2t mills, the people of Clay would
pay ls,9s3.86 State taxes. The differ
ence in favor of honest Democratic gov
eminent is $l2,9OS.so, and this amount

The COnventiOm's Work

The convention which assembled at ITALIA
hassee, on 5th inst for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for Congress from The First District
chose, as everyone judged il would after the
withdrawal of Col. 8. NJ Sparkman by his
friends Hon r. Fl. NJ. Davidson, who has with
such unTivalcd success been our standard bearer
in so many campaigns, and while he is not the
man whom q large majority Of the people OF
South Florida would have preferred as their
first choice, yet he is now our candidate, n nom
ine. of the party, and he should rs he assuredly
will. receive the support not only of the party,
but of that class of citizens without regard 10
party, who desire the welfare Of the State. and
who believe that democratic success is essential
TO her continued prosperity.
Everyone knows Col. Davidson to be an hon
est msn of the very highest character, and whose
official career Is rs yet untarnisIIed with single
dishonest or suspicious act. Entering for the
first time the halls of Congress at one of the
most critical periods OF The history of our State
and of the South, he has for twelve long and
eventfui years battled for Florida and her rights
with fidelity that justly places him high in the
regard OF his fellow citizens and should challenge
the support of everyone who desires that Demo
cratic doctrines should influence legislation in
the Congress- of the United States. 1t is the
proud boast of South Florida that she is more
intensely Democratic than any other portion of
the Stete; that we furnish the maioIities that
not only emphasize our victories, but
secures them. Let US then make good
that trust by showing the Democracy elsewhere
that we have lost none of our old time yipor
and by rolling up those majorities that have
given the State for twelve years the benefits of
Democratic supremacy, al the same time rest
assured that Col. Davidson will use whatever of
ability he possesses in behalf of this part of the
State as well as other sections of Florida.
Fidelity to the principles of Democracy and
TO the party, with which our lots are cast re.
quires every Democrat, unless q bad or dishon-
est man Is nominated, to support the nominee of
his party, which the best character and unsullied
reputation of our Congressional candidate claim
for him the support of the men of all parties
Let no one sulk in his tent, while his friends
elsewhere are battling for the right but let
everyone perform his duty as in the days gone
by.

What VOIusia County Gains.

In Volusia the assessed valuation of
property for State taxes is $3,994, 573.
The mill rate for State taxation this
year makes the tax on the above valua-
ton $l5,97s.29. But, if we apply the Rad
ical rate for State taxes during the last
three years of their disgraceful reign in
Florida, the State tax in that county
would be $49, 932l6, making a difference
of 1913, 953.s7 in favor Of Democratic rule
as compared with Republican misrule.
For the past three years the tax payers
of Volusia have saved, under honest
Democratic rule, in the matter of State
taxes, s9O,o7s46.
The people Of volusia county have,
in former times, shown their appreciation
OF honest government by giving good
Democratic majorities, and this year they
will be expected to give further evidence
of this fact by rolling up the largest
majority they have ever given--for Cleve-
land, Thurman, Fleming and the whole
Democratic ticket.
