Congressman Clark has done more DAMAGE to the mss
welfare Of Florida and her people than be repaired by
DOZEN of our most CAPABLE MEN in a term of years
He has created SUSPICION and doubt in the MINDS Of
pie of other states as to our INTEGRITY and HONOR
He has made unsubstantiaed charges the floor OGf
geSS as representative of Florida which reflect upon the
administration and the citizens OF this state The general
has no personal knowledge of conditions in Florida is
to assume that representative of Florida holding seat
National House of Representatives, is to be believed
And now Mr.. Clark comes back to the PEOPLE of FMs
asking that they again elect him their representative 50
the false IMPRESSIONS and ISLANDERS which he has given
to may 90 unchalenged In the National House of Reee
tives Mr.. Clark is LOUDMOUTHED and apparently cOura
in ATTACKING and INSULTING the memory of FLORD1

Gichrs as PINHEAD" and he insults the memory of
revered GOVERNOR BROWARD Now he comes back to Fn,w
meek and lowy begging the people of the Second Congress-

EST picture his IMAGINATION could portray of the Hi'
Everglades RECLAMATION project In his effort to back !
that STATE OFFICIALS who have lent their energy and ef
the RECLAMATION PROJECT have been actuaed by motif
not ENTIRELY HONORABLE He has, by INFERENCE at slm
tried backen the good of two National Senaa
MesSrs. Fletcher and Bryan Whatever Mr. Clark mie sb

the United States from the land sharks of Florida he
really trying to PROTECT the people from land sharks why
he not the SHARKS" instead of leaving the impel
that EVERY person offering foot of land for SALE was
included in this ANALYSIS? If he was honest in his state
why did he not set the machinery of the Post Office De
at work and have Dishonest land sellers INDICTED for FRt
submit that only cowardy blackguards and euela adj
