FUTURE FOR POLK COUNTY
SINCE BOND ISSUE PASSED

Writing from his general Offices at
Washington, ID. c., Mr.. w. F. Hal
lam, in a personal letter to the edi-
tor, says:
Mr.. NJ. F. Hetherington.
Lakeland, Florida:
Dear MT. HetheringtonI received
telegram from Mr.. Clayton yester-
day, advising me of the success OF
the bond issue. can issue you that
this was good news. and wish to
congratulate you, the Polk County |
Good Roads Association, the County |
Commissioners, and the Chamber of |
Commerce of Lakeland, on the splen-
did success of this campaign.
| have been watching 1t with very
great interest as l realized what OPP
position you had 10 meet to make 1t
success. The whole matter has
been handled in dtgnified way, and
your papers, am sure, have been
very largely responsible for the sue
cess Of this bond issue. l feel that
much of the success of lakeland, and
even of our enterprise at Lakeland
Highlands, is due to the broad-mind-
ed, public-spirited way in which YOU
have boosted that section. l feel that
you and Mrs. Hetherington will new
er receive sufficient credit for the
good work you have done.
was particularly interested in
the good roads matter for the reason
J that our company was instrumental
) in forming the first Good Roads As,
! ISOLATION, about five years ago. W.
. did not do great thing but We
4 planted the seed and took the respon
s sibility of the organization for 1
t little over year, until it was takel
s up and made countrywide matter
t It is much satisfaction to see the ide'
r rounded out, and put into praetica
q form, as it has been done by voting
o for the bond issue.
d feel that the building of thes
'e roads will bring prosperity to Pol
p county far beyond our most san
q guine dreams. 1t will be the bigges
n talking point which we will have i
le indnciner neonle To come To Lakeland
or and Lakeland Highlands. | am sur
all will be benefited by this bi
movement.
Yours very truly.
I W. F. HALLAM,
/ President. !.

There are some good men offering
for Governor In the opinion OF the
Evening Telegram, the best, aolest
and most likely of election are F. M.
Hudson and Ion L. Farris. Either
will make as good Governor as the
State has ever had. This paper hopes
to see Mr.. Hudson elected. If he
should not be chosen, then we would
be entirely satisfied with Mr.. Farris.
Below will be found a suggestion
for marking the ballot, as 1t pertains
to the Office of Governor. Note that
in voting your first choice the x Is
nut in the first square to the right
of the candidates name, and FOL

It's pretty hard to get up much en-

brought to trial over twelve hundred
cases, and in the vast majority OF
these convictions have resulted-ex-

AS a result of his vigorous prosecu-

served as seldom before. And yet

There are So counties in the State.
In &c of them Hudson leads for Gov
ernor and Farris will be second. In
the other 26 Farris will lead and
Hudson will ge second This is Just
as intelligent, just as conservative,
and just as probable a forecast as
that made in the Tampa Tribune and
Jacksonville Times-Union yesterday,
and 1t doesn't require several col
umns of balderdash to make 1t.

The Tallahassee Record refuses to
be pacified because we attributed
something to that paper which ap-
peared in its contemporary, the Dem

surprising that slip sometimes oc-
ours.

Polk county people will have to
vote big for Angle tomorrow. 10 make
up for at least two counties where his
name will not appear on the ballot.
In Marion, and Palm Beach counties,
and perhaps in others, the ballots had
been printed and delivered at the va
rious polling places before the ruling
of the Secretary of the State that
Angles name might be printed on
them. Just what effect this will have
on the legality of the election may
have to be determined.
