not treating him right or because he
is a misfit. OF course if his failure
to subscribe for least one fifty dol
lar bond at an outlay of one dollar
per week comes from an unwilligness
to take even so small a part in the
struggle for our nations integrity,
then it becomes different matter.
Such a man is not only Stacker, but
the majority of his fellow citizens
will apply even a harsher name.
Whatever Lakeland may do or not
dc will not defeat the successful plac-
ing of the bond issue, but in the
cheerful and generous response
which this community makes will in
very large measure determine the po-
sition in which she will stand as a
patriotic city. The largest inland
town of Florida has nothing to boost
of if she should fall short at this time
in such a matter. 1t is not believed
that she will. A better understand
ing is being created and when Friday
of this week shall come Lakeland
must have done her share.

RUN FOR THE HOUSE

Men Of Leon County-Exception-

Tallahassee Record)

(TallahaSSee RecOrd)
Numerous friends, from both town
and country, are persistent in urging
John G. Kellum, auditor and business
manager of the Florida State College
for Women, to enter the race for the
lower house in the legislature from
Leon county. Mr.. Kellum has lived
in Tallahassee for decade or more,
has friends of influence from one end
of the state to the other, and is known
to practically every man, woman and
child in Leon county, where he has
lived an upright, energetic life. Mr..
Kellum's business has brought him in
close contact with the people of this
county, and his clean. straightforward
dealings with everyone have won for
him the respect and confidence of all
who know him.
Mr.. Kellum is particularly we'll fit-
ted for the house of representatives,
having been chief clerk of that body
often without opposition for five con.
secutive sessions. He had sufficient
pledges to have been reelected chief
clerk of the last legislature hands
down, but was persuaded by friends
of Gov. Cats to withdraw in favor
of Bryan Mack. However. Mr. Mack
was unable tn win even with KelIuyn
out of the way, R. A. Green, a lad of
Bradford county, practically unknown
in the state, being urged at the last
minute to enter the race, which he
won as il Mack were tied.
That Mr.. Kellum is considering SER
iously offering for the house from
this county is the assertion of his
friends, but Mr.. Kellum. himself, has
thus far declined to make any public
statement as to whether he will be q
