70 HEAD THE GOULD FAMILY

One of the sons of the very rich who does not
believe that his life should be given up to idle
ness and sports is Kingdom Gould, the eldest of
the seven children of George Jay Gould. Kingdom
is only twenty-three years old, but he knows a
whole lot about his fathers interests and, for
that matter, about the interests of the entire
Gould family. This is as it should be, for he is
destined to take his fathers place as the head
of that multi-mionaire family. He is a we'll
educated man without evil habits and with love
for work. This week he left to Join the rest Of
the Gould family in Europe. He would have gone
with them last spring, but he felt that he wanted
to familiarize himself with the Gould railroad sys-
tenn in the southwest. So instead Of lolling about
the various resorts of the old world he has been

Broward Replies to Charges Made
Against Him by the Taliaferro
Campaign Of Vituperation
and Abuse.

To the Democratic Voters of Florida:
In speeches delivered at the foot of
Main street in Jacksonville on the
night Of May 18th, Senator Taliaferro
and his assistant Mr.. Frank Clark,
opened a campaign of villifcation. vitu-
peration and abuse, in which fine arts
Mr.. Clark revels. which has been con-
tinued and elaborated up to this time,
both by them in their public speeches
and by floods OF letters and circulars
with which they are flooding the mails.
Senator Taliaferro sought TO justify his
attacks by stating that 1 had circulated
a report to the effect that he was re-
sponsible for Joe Lee remaining in office,
and that the much talked-of Holt Price
letter" connected him with the race track
Senator Taliaferro having failed TO be
nominated in the first primary, when he
declared he was running upon his re-
cord, Il was necessary for him either to
quit the race or resort to mud-slinging,
and one preteNt served his purpose as
wei as another. Everybody knows that
Claude L'Engle did all the talking that
was done about Joe Lee. I have never
made. or willingly permitted my friends
60 make, the charge referred to. The
other report so generously credited to
me was. circulated b. publication in The
Floridian, newspaper at that time OPP
posed to me.
on this hirnsy evidence of my unfair
campaign methods, Senator Taliaferro
proceeds to circulate reports and create
impressions, known to him to be totally
false.

come to my notice and answer them one
