Warned Not To
Return Home Yet

Hon. Denis O'Leary, district attor

owner Of a ten-acre orange grove
near this city writes this paper as
follows under date of March 26:
Editor Telegram:
If those northern people who have
been Illustrating in sunny Florida
are wise, they will stay there for
some time to come.
Here on Long Island where we
have had the mildest winter ever
known, with hardly any snow, and leo
not thicker than an inch or two and
most Of the time none, and with no
frost In the ground, and the sprin,.
blowing done in February, we have
come today into bowling gale o.
snow. More snow has fallen In the
last six hours than has fallen all
winter. The thermometer began
climbing down from the wall this
morning following a very rainy. win
dy night. Soon the rain turned to
snow. There is now four or five inch
es on the ground with every pros
pect Of more. The wind is blowing a
gale and the temperature is about II
above zero. How long It. will con.
tinue is, Of course, beyond knowing.
II cannot last The sun is high in
the heavens, but 1t would be well for
northern visitors In Florida to real
lie that spring is not an assured fact
up here yet"

ton as to whether a beautiful and
noble building will take the place OF
the obscure and unsightly corner OF
the Park where 1t Is proposed to 10.
cate 1t, will develop considerable in.
terest, as the constructive element OF
the city is very much in favor of such
a splendid improvement, while Ger.
tain forces that are always against
everything progressive, are working
hard against the proposition, by mis-
leading everybody they can.
Voters should bear in mind that
nothing but the question of location
is involved in this election. 1t is not
designed to build the structure by tax
alton or bonds, hence this election has
nothing to do with such O. proposition

legal opinion as to the qualification OF

mitted the matter to Mr.. Mum, who
indicated that the vote should be BY
property owners, whether men OF
women, over age, and residents of the
city of Lakeland for a period of al
least six months and State Of Florida
for at least one year. If both hus
band and wife own property separate
ly, both should have a vote; If only
one owns property, then the one own
ing the property should have the
vote. The above refers to the owner
ship Of real estate.
These qualifications are plain and
the officers of election should have nc
difficulty in constituting them The
officers are G. L. Willoughby, J. d
Allen, and l.. B. Jones. The election
will be held in the City Hall and the
hours will be from sunrise to sunset
