This year it will approach two

the war was fought nearly half

Here's The Proof.
Senator McMuIIen Tells Of Too.
mer as a Paid Lobbyist for
Corrupt Race Track

Senator Don c. McMullen, of
Hillsborough county, was one of
the ablest men in the last session
of the Legislature. Everybody
in Florida knows him to be an
upright, honorable Democratic
leader. AS w. M. Toomer is
making general denials to each

against him, l give further sub
stantiation to the proof that Too
mer was paid lobbyist of the
Jacksonville Race Track Associ-
alton. Read Senator McMullen's
letter, as follows:

DEAR CLAUDE-I am just in re-
ceipt of yours OF the 18th inst,

facts stated about Mr.. Toomer /
know of my personal knowledge.
l was present in Tallahassee and
san him as the LOBBYIST of the cor
ruDt race-track interest arguing
their cause before the LEGISLATURE,
and to show how completely he
was antagonizing the will of the
people, when the final vote came
on the race-track proposition he
was only able to muster one vote.
/ can say further, that so far
as my knowledge OF your career
around the legislature extended
during the last two sessions, you
hare chGmDiORed only such things
as Were right and for the good Of
the people. l therefore renew my
pledge OF support, and hope that
you will be overwhelmingly NOM
mated.
With best wishes, l remain,
