the bill through the house by vote
of AZ to IS. The measure then went
through the Senate by vote of 81
to Z. Governor Gilchrist's veto and
Mr.. Angles tenacious fight to pass
the bill over the veto is a part of
Florida's legislative history. In the
house the vote was 43 to % favor
ing passing over the governors veto,
short just one vote. In the fight in
the house Speaker Jennings took
the floor in opposition to the meas
ure. A large majority of the people
of the State were for the measure.
Mr.. Angle believes the federal
government should aid in the con-
struction and maintenance of pub
lie roads; that Democrats should sue
coed Republicans in all offices i'm
mediately on expiration of their
commissions, and pledges to have a
suitable man ready in the event he
is elected.
Mr.. Angle announces that he will
make complete personal canvass of
the district, making speeches in ev-
cry town in the district. He will
conduct a clean, high class cam
paign, but will throw some light on
the long record of the present in
cumbent that promises to be inter
esting, at least.
The young men of Tampa have Or
ganized young mems Democratic
club for the purpose of pushing Mr..
Angles candidacy for Congress and
they would be pleased if the young
men of all the towns in the district
would organize similar clubs to help
Mr.. Angle.
They believe that this is the time
for young man to 60 to Congress
from this district and it is their aim
to make a vigorous fight to that end,
and believe they will be successful.

MR.. ANGLE WANTS TO
GO TO CONGRESS

A Tampa dispatch in today's Tele-
gram announces that Hon. A. j.
Angle of that city has announced
/. himself as candidate for Con gress
from this district to succeed Hon
Stephen NJ. Sparkman. Mr.. Angle
is we'll known in Polk county, where
he formerly resided, and is man OF
character. ability and energy and has
had considerable experience in Flor
ida politics. The field is open to any
and all and Mr.. Angle has the same
right to run for Congress that any
other man has; but in this instance
we don't think that he ought to run
and we feel very sure that he won't
be elected.
Mr.. Sparkman has served the
district long and faithfully and by
virtue of the experience derived from
that long service, coupled with his
ability and fidelity, he is right now
at the summit of his usefulness to
the country, the party and his i'm
mediate constituents, and TO retire
him at such time would be an act
Of monstrous folly. 1t would be to
discharge a long tried and efficient
workman at highly skilled labor to
MT in n non, hapd u,hn hadn't avian
begun to learn the trade. We are
not doubling Mr.. Angles capacity,
but capacity without experience
counts for nothing in Washington,
and he would have to serve many
terms there before he could be of the
same use to his constituents that
Mr.. Sparkman is now, even admit
ting that he has the ability and apti-
tude for legislation that the latter
has and that all other circumstances
should conspire to give him an equal
standing in the House of Represen
tatives.
Mr.. Sparkman is now chairman
of one of the greatest committees in
Congress, that on rivers and har-
bors, and he got there only by long
and efficient service He is one of
the very influential men in the
House, wise in the ways of lcgisla-
tion, an expert in knowledge of
matters he has to deal with, and
new man in his stead would have
to take his place at the foot of the
ladder, be PLACID only on unimpor-
tant committees and have practical
ly no influence at all upon the legis-
lation of Congress.
A congressman most valuable
asset is the experience and influence
derived from length of service. Mr..
Sparkman is rich in that respect:
Mr.. Angle would have nothing.
Under the circumstances it seems
to us that Mr.. Sparkman should be
returned to Congress by a practical
ly unanimous vote cast by the con-
stituents he has served SO faithfully,
and we opine that it will be very
nearly that .way.t

Huerta will eat the crow he abhors

thereby prevent serious trouble with

We much regret the announced
determination of Judge Hooker of
the supreme court of this State not
to be candidate for reelection. He
has been on the supreme bench for
many years and his luminous de-
cisions embodied in the reports of
that court have earned for him the
rank of a great jurist in whose learn
ing and probity all the people of
Florida have the fullest confidence.
And Judge Hooker is more than that
He has rare personality, strong
and commanding, combined with
fine native dignity that suggests the
men of the era of Washington and
Jefferson and he is big enough in all
ways to be on the supreme bench of
the United States.

CALC|M|NE
FOR FRANKLIN Nine
Quakers Mean to Avenge De-
feat Handed Them One
Year Ago.

Earlham meets her old rival, Frank
lin, on Reid field tomorrow afternoon
In the second game of the season. Ac-
cording to dope, the local ball tossers
should take the number of the Bap-
fists, but Coach Reagan is making
nopredictions as to the outcome of the
contest
The Quakers hope to avenge the 1914
drubblng that Franklin administered a
year ago yesterday on Reid field.
The Quaker lineup, with the addi.
ton or Hunnicutt, seems to be the
strongest in years. If Jerry Bogue,
former catcher, succeeds in lifting the
faculty ban that has been placed upon
him he will be shifted to third, and
the lineup will be we'll balanced from
backstop to fielders. Bogues regu-
Imposition is at the hot corner, and
with the backstop point in the care Of
"Hunny" the lineup as used in the
Butler game ought to do big things.
With Wallace and Little going at
the pace of the last game, the Qua
kers will have no trouble whatever in
taking tomorrow's game. The Butler
outfit is heavy hitting one, and the
three scanty bingles they annexed off
the Quaker slabmen were mostly
flukes. Franklin is ranked in about
the same class as Butler in willow
work, and with the same brand of
pitching against them as the Butler
men contended with, Franklin should
draw string of gooseeggs as her
share in the counting department of
the game.

VOLTz JOINS TEAM
Cincinnati Boy Signs With
Kenney.

Norman Voltz, with whom Manager
Kenney, of the Richmond baseball
club, has been dickering for long
time, came to terms today and will
be seen in Quaker uniform next
Sunday when Richmond lines up with
the College Hill team of Cincinnati.
Voltz is recognized as the best all
around athlete in Cincinnati. He can
play any game and position on team
and has made a good record in ath-
letic circles in the Buckeye state. AL
though baseball is his long suit, he has
been practicing In all branches of ath-
letics and is in fine condition for reg
ular work.
Norm will likely supplant Mccain
in the left garden Mccain is fast
man and was counted on to do big
things for the locals, but the aquisi
ton of the Cincinnati star leaves Nc
Cam for utility. Although Voltz is
an outfielder, he can fill other posi-
tions in the lineup as well, and will
be used as catcher or in the infield
if it becomes necessary.

One of the most interesting plants
in this vicinity Is the hatcheries of the
Wayne County Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association on the Dickey farm
near the city. The hatchery IL now
complete and Ii one of the most up
to-date, not excepting the state hatch
cries. The plant has capacity OF
approximately $4,000 flsh q year.
There are at present about thirty
parent small mouth bass at the ponds,
and more will DO added by fishermen.
At the time Of the heavy rains last
March. the hatcheries west Of town
were washed out and all the parent
bass lost. Members of the associa-
ton have been adding to the colony
with their own catches, SO that now
the ponds hold about the required
number of parent fish.
The fish are in their spawning sea-
son, and the large fish will be taken
from the winter pond at the plant and
put in the summer pond. The winter
pond is deeper than the summer pond
for the purpose of preventing the
fish from freezing in case the water
froze to the bottom in extreme wealth.
err. The summer pond is shallower to
allow the heating of the water, which
is necessary for the Matching.
Make Interesting Study.
1t is interesting to watch the par
ent bass watching over its spawn.
The nest of a bass, which consists of
nothing more than gravel or fine sand,
is watched by the mother fish day and
night. 1t is almost impossible to drive
the parent fish away from it's spawn.
A bass will oftentimes allow itself to
be caught rather than desert it's nest.
