sent to make the run has not as yet
been ascertained. but his friends in
Brooksville and over the State are
SO sure of his ability and fitness for
the place and so confident that he is
the man of the hour" in the coming
contest for seat in the United States
Senate, that they can present his
name with the assurance that he will
accept the call to duty and make a
successful campaign.

NEW Y0RK'S AUTOMOBILE SHOW

New York, Jan. 3.-The National
Automobile Show was opened here to-
day at the Grand Central Palace and
will continue for one week. From
every viewpoint the exhibition is a
record breaker. The Automobile
Chamber of Commerce is behind the
New York show. Among the many
new and interesting things which are
expected to prove of great interest
to motorists are the selfstarting de-
vices found in majority of the cars
exhibited. The self-starter is not a
new device, but so rapidly has 1t be-
come perfected and popular in it's
two years of existence that today
practically all large cars and few
small ones are fitted with self-start-
ers. Cycle cars form another inter-
esting exhibit. These are miniature
automobiles reduced to simple form.
They weigh about 700 pounds and
are fitted with light motors. In ap-
pearance and construction they are
similar to automobiles. Plans are on
foot to form an organization to de-
yelop the cycle car industry during
the show. AS yet the industry is in
swaddling clothes.
Tallahassee will make a strong
fight to have the next meeting Of the
Florida Educational Association held
in the Capital City.
