Despite the inclement and threat

did audience greeted w. " Knott,
the Democratic nominee for Cover
nor; in fact, it was as large an indoor
crowd as was ever gotten together
for a political meeting in Lakeland.
Had the weather been propitious,
there is no doubt but that the crowd
in the park would have broken all
records. AS it was, the 900 people
who crowded into the Heron theater
were mostly voters, the women and
children who go to make up the park
crowds being for the most part alb
sent, though there was sprinkling
of ladies who braved the elements to
come out in appreciation of the visit
of their choice for Governor.
The meeting was presided over by
Hon. Edwin Spencer, Jr., who intro
duced Mr.. Knott in an eloquent and
appropriate speech. He declared ne
lhad no apology to make for the posi-
tion in which he was placed, for,
turning to some Veterans who occu-
led the stage, where these old gray
haired heroes lead, it is safe for all
