Fleming has made any intimation

candidacy for this place. There

MASS MEETING IN
THE PARK TONIGHT

The park ought to be filled to-
night with loyal Lakeland and
Polk county men to take part in the
business of the mass meeting in the
interest of good roads. At that time
some definite plans for work to done
on Friday next will be outlined. The
county commissioner for this district
and the city street commissioner are
working together in an effort to have
the governors proclamation carried
out in the most practicable manner
possible, and if success is to result
it must be through the hearty and
enthusiastic cooperation of every
able bodied man within reach. Sure
ly. every man who has any interest
at all in this section will not hesitate
to turn out on that day and give
either personal work or sufficient
sum to enable substitute to be en-
ployed in his stead.
The governor has given assurance
of his earnest desire to be present
and that if he can get away from his
official duties it will be for the pur-
pose of doing his part TO carry out
his proclamation to the letter. This
in itself would assure success, but
whether the governor is able to come
and lend his personal presence or not
on that day there ought to be an
enthusiastic spirit Of cooperation on
the part of Polk county's men, If only
to show other parts of the State that
our hearts are in the right place, too,
when it comes to working for good
roads.
Come out to the meeting tonight
and join the movement for GOOD
AND BETTER ROADS.
