SHERIFF LOGAN
STEPS DOWN AND
LETS LANCFORD
HAVE OFFICE
To My Fellow Citizens:

To My Fellow Citizens:
After careful consideration have
today surrendered the office of sheriff
to Mr.. James M. Langford, the ap-
pointee of Governor Cats. I have
been actuated in this action by the
same motives which have actuated me
in all my official acts since first be-
came public servant, nearly fourteen
years ago-that is, by what I con-
sidered to be the best interests of
Polk county. No matter how unjust
the action of the governor might be
and am still persuaded that he, him
self will soon recognize the injustice
OF my suspension-still, at this time,
legal fight over the sheriff's office
might result in many serious COM
plications in the enforcement of the
law in this county, and during the
time of uncertainty caused by such q
legal fight, any lawless element which
might be in the county might feel en-
couraged to commit acts of crime, and
this view is shared by many of my
best and closest friends.
1t is needless for me to discuss any
matter which has brought about the
|
present situation. The facts are we'll
known to every intelligent citizen.
For eleven years as sheriff, and three
years as city marshall of Lakeland,
believe my record has beenAclean and
honorable and impartial. Since the
present strike situation arose, SO far
as ! know accused persons have been
apprehended for every crime alleged
to have been committed. have done
my full duty as well as God gave me
the knowledge to know what that
duty was, and at the time OF my sus-
pension ! was spending $500 per
month more than I was receiving
from the sheriff's office in an effort to
faithfully execute the duties Of my
office.
Those of the people Of this county
who know me, know that no man Is
more deeply grateful for the atti-
tude of the people of the county than
am, or more earnestly appreciativc
Of the acts and words of my friends
during this crisis. There are no
words that can use to express to
them the gratitude l feel toward
them.
| AS private citizen I shall continue
to aid all can in the enforcement OF
the law, and when I am re-instated
/ trust that I will again have the
support of the overwhelming majority
Of citizens of the county in upholding,
impartially, the laws of the state.
Gratefully and sincerely,
JOHN LOGAN.

rather than enter into long-drawn-
out contest for its possession which
would be hurtful to the county under
present conditions.
In submitting to the autocratic ac-
ton Of the Governor in removing him
without investigation and under the
fiimsiest kind of a pretext, he valves
none of his rights in the premises,
and it is absolutely certain that when
the Legislature meets again he will
collect from the State of Florida the
full amount of fees and emoluments
which the records show would have
been paid him had he remained in Of
fee until the expiration of his term.
Moreover, If he desires vindication at
the hands Of the people, and offers
as a candidate before the next pri-
maries, he will undoubtedly receive
tho greatest vote ever given a county
candidate.
Mr.. Logan will remove with his
family to Lakeland. He has already
purchased the fine home of G. M.
Clayton in Dixieland, complete with
its furnishings, paying in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 therefor. This is
one of the most desirable places in
TIN county making an ideal home in
every respect. The people of Lake
land will rejoice to welcome Mr.. Lo,
gan and his excellent family back
home. They know him and appre-
ciate his worth.
