5000 ACRES OF LAND
SOLD IN THE COUNTY
Immense Fruit Development Will Be
Undertaken in This Vicinity

Winter Haven, Nov. 49, The ut
ter falsity of the claims of some
moss-backs that Polk Countys bond
ing for roads would scare away big
investors was never more smashingly
demonstrated than by the sale, just
closed of a block of 5000 acres of
coed fruit land, between Lucerne
Park and Haines City, to the Consol-
idated Fruit Corporation of New
York. Thomas E. Lucas and asso
ciates of Tampa were on the other
end of the ideal.
According to the Tribune, the con-
Germ does not intend to sell off any
part Of the tract, but will develop
it, clearing the land and establishing
a huge fruit ranch, on which will be
planted citrus fruit trees of all
kinds, as we'll as other fruits indig-
enous to Florida. The corporation
controls some 10000 acres of fruit
ranches in California, and this, its
first big purchase in Florida, will be
developed along the same lines as It's
California holdings. In addition to
it's California holdings, the Consoli-
dated has some 1000 acres in Arkan-
sas and a 9OO-acre cocoanut ranch in
Cuba.
"W1e are not real estate speculat-
ors, but developers. We do our own
marketing of our fruit through our
headquarters and branches" said Mr..
Ludlow. eve have turned our attcn
tion to Florida because of the won
derful opportunities here. | feel

Our president, Col. w. II. Garland,
will be here about the 25th on MS
way to Cuba Arrangements will be
made shortly for clearing up our new
holdings and establishing a DIG IrulI
ranch. We market our own pro-
ducts, but we will not be competitors
of the Florida Citrus Exchange. In
California we cooperate with the
California Citrus Exchange and re-
gard il as the greatest aid to the
growers We will do the same in
Florida.
This development will of course
mean the expenditure, both in pre-
liminary work and annually thereaf-
ter. of a very substantial sum OF
money in the county, and add not a
little to general prosperity in tins
section. Beyond all doubt the pros
pect of good roads over which to mar

deciding the corporation to make its
purchase in Polk county

upon the "antidnmping" provision and
upon free sugar. Indeed after denoun'
cling a tariff for protection as uncon.
stitutional, we find Mr.. Wilson and the
whole Democratic party, webbing
In that direction.
Having interviewed by threat and
force in the affairs Of the Mexican
people. Mr.. Wilson, in his Indianapo-
lis speech, denounced Intervention and
declared the. Mexican situation not to
be our business.
In his memorandum attached to his
first Sunday Civil bill, Mr.. Wilson pro-
tested against class legislation ex-
empting farmers and labor organiza.
lions from the operation Of the anti.
trust act. His opposition has since
melted away, and he is now claiming
credit from those who are supposed
to control the labor vote for having
in subsequent legislation "taguht" the
courts something on this subject. He
took pride in the new legislation for
arbitration in labor disputes and now
denuonces arbitration as inapplicable
to the greatest labor dispute In our
history.
Other instances could be cited, but
these are certainly enough to justify
the conclusion that Mr.. Wilson has
few, II any. opinions on the issues OF
the day which exigency In the field Of
politics may not induce him to give
up. He generally pursues hte wise
course Of never explaining the reason
for his change. His facility In this
regard robs Of special importance HIS
public utterances as basis for sup.
porting his as a candidate.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hughes Ia

always been the guide OF his action.

States know when say that the chief
characteristic of MIR. Hugncs is the
courage of his convictions in meeting
the embarrassment of political oppo'
sition. He gives the reasons for the
faith that Is In him. He argues on:
his propositions, and he does not de.
pend upon mere facility OF expression,
mere happiness of epigrammatic state.
mcnt. mere graceful phrasing Of 4
platitude to support his opinion. He
carries conviction by his speech to his
audience and he carries is own con.
viction into conduct. His strength be.
fore tn epeople and the importance to
them Of his utterances acd promises
grow out Of confidence that he Is not
an opportunist. aud that 10 political
expediency will prevent his hewing to
the line and fighting to the last for
his principles. 1t has been said that
there is little difference between Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Hughes except that
MIR. Wilson has had the presidential
experience. This is as far as posi-.
BILE from the fact. Having in view MIR.
Wilson's record on nearly every pc.
litical question and Mr.. Hughes
course as Governor Of New York, It
would be difficult to find among the
public men of the country, one who is
less like Mr.. Wilson than Mr.. Hughes.

son OF what they say with what they
do. This comparison In Mr.. Wilson's
case does not create confidence al
him as a man to be entrusted with
further responsibilities in the critical
times that are to follow.
MIR. Wilson, as pIblicist, wrote the
most effective argument In favor OF
the representative system and against
the initiative, the referendum and the
recall; and then in his campaign for
the nomination ana the election in
1912 he abandoned his former position
and announced u radical change In
view upon that subject.
In 1912, Mr.. Wilson in his campaign
speeches sought for votes on the
ground that the Democratic party had
declared In favor OF a law exemptlng
our coastwise trade from Panama Ca.
nal tolls and emphasized this as a
real and definite offer to the people OF
something substantial and not mere
molasses to catch political flies. A,
critical time in the Mexican trou.
bles when he desired aid and assist.

In Congress in which he said that for
a reason which he did not then define
and has never since defined, he wished
the discrimination in favor OF the
American domestic trade repealed,
and he never gave his reasons for hrs
