It's a far cry from corn to politics
There is little in common between
Democratic primaries and home cured,
Florida razor back bacon. In the
throes OF the acute excitement over
the Ananias Club organized by Gov
srnor Gilchrist and Representative
Frank Clark. the honest yoemary-
the term is used advisedly-is apt to
forget that within the past four or five
years the corn belt of the United
States has dropped southwark five
hundred miles.
This means more to Florida than the
fact that golden crown rests on the
brow of King Cotton. It is more i'm
portant than the draining of the Ever
glades or the election of Bill Milton,
governor. The question OF veracity
between Frank Clark and one hundred
and fifty citizens of Fort Lauderdale,
is amusing, but the fact that In some
counties in Florida, farmers can raise
and cure bacon for two cents a pound
is vital and potent. The Houn' song
the Florida cracker is singing these
days runs this way:
