ANTI.SALOON LEAGUE
ASKS INFORMATION.

That the Anti-SalOon Leagues Of
Florida Is quietly setting its pins
for a determined contest to secure
anti-liquor legislation of statewide
dimensions is evidenced sy a letter
sent out by the new superintendent.
w. II. Chase, to the candidates for
governor. The letter Of inquiry
went out about the middle of the
month, and contains three direct
questions. Assurances are given
that publication of replies will b"
withheld If candidates so request,
and the statement is added that "if
you do not desire to answer this let
ter we will take il for granted that
you are lined up with the liquor in
terests politically"
The sense of the letter is as fol-
lows: 1.-THE AntiSaloOn League is
the agency of the Christian churches
in this warfare against the liquor
traffic, and one of the duties of this
agency is to keep he Christian forces
informed as to the standing Of can
didates for Office concerning these
matters.
we have mary Inquiries asking
how the different candidates for
governor stand on this question.
"Do you favor statewide prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic?
Would you favor law prohibit
ing the shipment of intoxicating
liquors from wet counties into dry
counties of our State?
Would you favor provision to
make easier the enforcement OF the
law against blind tigers"

LAKELAND LADY GIVES
PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS

Editor Telcgram: Let us have
gas, but let us have 1t for all of the
people.
T.. Dana Durand. director of the
census says that the majority OF
American working men earn between
500 and $500 Il year. and this ap-
pOrtioncd to his needs allows one
twentieth of his income to be spent
for fuel and light together. That
means from $40 to $40 a year We
are already paying SIS year for
lights and when we have added
S2l.6O as Il minimum for fuel used
only for cooking purposes we will
sec that the price is prohibitivc to
all who are not sure of $500 Il year.
want the gas, but do not want
us to give a franchise that will pro-
hibit my using It, Let us consider
this and ask the gas company to
give lls 25c meters and run the pipes
to Our fixtures instead of the street.
In this way everybody would pay
for what they used, and more peO-
pie could take it.
The monthly payment of $3.50 Is
q prOhibitory price to most OF our
citizens and our own electric light
company might draw some infer
cnccs from this statement that
would help il to serve the many
instead Of the few.
