That better schools depend on the
success of the movement, is the con-
census of opinion, and support in favor
of the proposition is growing rapidly.
Business men, who are the heaviest
taxpayers, are almost solidly in favor
of the movement and many of them
have publicly announced their inten-
ton of rendering all the support in
their power to make the election carry
successfully.
Chairman Hunter Brown of the cam
paign committee. and chairman w. H
Watson of the executive committee are
both confident the election will carry.
but they are urging every man who
believes Pensacola should have better
schools to be on hand Tuesday and
cast his vote for the project
The schools have been organized
teams and team captains chosen and
tomorrow night every child will carry
home an appeal to vote and vote for
the sub-tax district. During the week
