(By Gen. ]. A. Cox, of Lakeland, Fla.)
Comrades:
During somewhat eventful life of
eighty years, the greatest honor that
ever came to me was my election,
ty unanimous vote, to be commander
in-chief of the Florida Division Of the
U. G. v.
During my administration Of that
high Office, nor since, have I ever
heard an adverse criticism of my Of
fetal acts.
Hence I can appeal to you, with
confidence, that you will heed my
last request as beloved comrades. As
you know our beloved organization IL
non-partisan in character and cannot
pledge its vote as unit, but nothing
prevents us, as individual citizens
from discussing the merits Of any
man who offers as candidate for any
office in the State.
Now, Comrades, my urgent request
is that before you make your decision
as to your ballot for next governor
Of Florida that you calmly investigate

MIR. DRANE'S GOOD WORK

That Congressman Herbert j..
Drane, of this district was the man
who saved Florida and the rest Of the
southeast from the additional Is per
cent. freight. rate increase, has just
leaked out through Washington.
Mr.. Drane has always been known
as a modest man, and sometimes It
has seemed that his mate modesty
was actually hurtful to his reputation
as an accomplished Of results in
Washington. That he never said any
thing, about the diplomatic word he
got to the railway administration at
the proper time, promising to raise
sand on the floor of the house, If that
thing persisted, was but to he ex-
pected from him. However, the Tri-
tunes Washington correspondent is
alive and soon tumbled to what had
stopped the threatened increase. and
he told 1t in the Tribune yesterday
morning.
Telling the story to the point where
the railway administration had de-
cided to put on the increase in spite
of all protest and opposition, he
says:
Fright at this point Mr.. Drane got
busy and set an example which might
be followed hereafter by others with
success. He got word to the railroad
administration that he would not
stand for this proposed additional in
crease; that while he was as loyal
and as patriotic as any man on the
American continent, that here were
times when patience could no longer
be considered virtue, and that the
time had come for action. He did not

want these rates to apply and would
not stand for them. The admins
tration could put them into effect
if it desired to do so, but that if such
action was taken he would bring the
matter on the floor of the House, and
with many Democrats who might as
sist him, and with a large element Of
the Republicans he would show just
how wrong action would be to the
people of the southeastern territory.
He would, furthermore, have CO.
operation with leading members of
the Senate and show to the people
that the railroad administration was
not treating southern producers and
shippers fairly OF course the infor-
nation was automatically and tacti-
fully gotten to Administrator Hines,
but it got there, nevertheless, SO for
chilly that It was determined to take
heed of the matter"
Some years ago, when Mr.. Drane
was state senator, the Tallahassee
college girls pulled OF one Of their
many stunts for the benefit Of the
legislators. A fair guide took the
Senator through, and finally landed
