possibilities of Natal grass as an
agricultural product of Florida are
second only to the development of
the great wheat fields of the west
1t is apparent to us from this visit
to Florida that only the surface has
been scratched in the development
OF your wonderful State, and that n
very few years will see Florida take
its rightful place as a great hay, for
age and cattle producing State. We
have been royalty entertained ever
since we came within the boundaries
of Florida and we are each and all
of us greatly impressed with your
wonderful climate, your progressive
cities, your fertile soil and your
many scenic attractions.
No better class of men can be
found to take advantage of the nat
ural resources and great possibilities
of the State of Florida than those
who have gone through the vicissi-
tudes of pioneering en- the great
plains of the west and who have
achieved substantial success in thai
territory. They are quickest to
realize that what has been done in
the west in the waf of remarkable
development can be done in Florida
can be done easier; can be done
cheaper, and that under the wonder
full climatic conditions of Florida re-
suits may be achieved in one-third
the time with one-half the labor re-
ouired under the more severe ana
conditions of western de-
velopment

In That State Plurality for Hughes

In Connecticut Are to Be Probed.

New York. Nov. $50 close Is the
race for the presidency that both
National Committees, facing the pos
sibility Of defeat, are planning re-
counts OF the votes for presidential
electors in States where the pluralt-
ties are suspiciously small.
From Concord, N. H.. comes word
that the Democratic National Com
mittee has instructed the State Com
mittee to apply for a recount Of the
ballots. The Secretary of State. Ed
win c. Bean. announced tonight that
Hughes plurality was l6l.- He did
not give the vote for the candidates.
1t was Immediately after Mr.. Beans
announcement that the State Com
mittee served notice of its intention
to demand q recount. Its notice was
supplemented by a statement that all
the expenses had been guaranteed by
the National Committee.
Irregularities Alleged.
From Hartford. Conn. comes word
that a defeated candidate for State
Senator has asked that the vote for
presidential electors in the entire
State be impounded pending the in
vestigation of certain alleged irregu-
larities in Fairfield County. This
county includes Bridgeport. where
there Is a tremendous new population.

Only twice in the history Of the
United States has the electoral vote
been In question The first time was
In the case of Aaron Burr and Thomas
jefferson. In that case there was a
tie and the election was thrown into
the House of Representatives. The
second time was when an electoral
commission had to be appointed to de-
termine whether Samuel ]. Tilden or
Rutherford B. Hayes was entitled to
the presidency.
Even IL Mr.. Wilson's electoral vote
leaves no necessity for a contest 1t is
certain that the Department OF Justice
will make an inquiry into the large
fund employed by the Republicans.
Find How Money Was Spent
Congress. too, will be called upon
while the Democrats retain their con-
troll, to enact the corrupt practices
act This measure failed Of passage in
the last session. A congressional in
auiry into the expenditures in this
campaign will also be asked. This
investigation. necessarily, would in
clude the prctaices OF the campaign
managers Of both parties.
The large increase in the Repub-
lican fund in the closing days Of the
campaign will be q particular subject
of investigation.
The manner in which money wos
spent in doubtful States by the man
ayers OF the Republican campaign
will be investigated. Among the
States where money was spent most
lavishly are New York. Ohio. Indi-
ana. Illinois and Connecticut.
The attention of the Federal prose-
cutors has already been called to cer-
tain expenditures in Fairfield County
