IN charge of trucking operations of
the Citizens Transportation Commit

work over the holiday week end and
that when they are resumed next

Colonel Molitor denied the assertion
of James F. Riley and other officials
OF the International Longshoremen's IS
Association that the reduction in the
number of trucks by the committee
was due to its inability to keep its
men, both drivers and helpers. Rilev
declared that the committee will have
no trucks at all by the end of next

statements as ridiculous" He said
the reduction in the number of trucks

DOING BUSINESS"
Road Department Making Scrub Fly
Along evidences Road"

Ed Scott was right! The State
Road Department is doing business
in DeSoto county. We took a drive
down through Bermont township.
past Carlstrom field this week and
the progress made in the road wol k
is wonderful since the same trip
made six weeks since.
From the Punta Gorda-Bermont
road south six miles through town
ship Al the right of way has been
grubbed through the cypress and
heavy timber TO the Tucker corner
at township line 41-42.
The work of ditching and grading
has been begun on this six-mile
stretch and the grade will soon be
thrown up. From fuckers corner
south to the Lee county line the
sloughs which the road crosses now
are crossed by a grade 80 feet wide
and made of clay from the bottom
of a twelve-foot ditch, which runs
along the east side of the grade.
This work was done mostly with =
monster steam shovel and it was in
operation between the Colsom place
and fuckers corner while we were
returning. There are a large num-
Der of mule teams and heavy wagons
and quite a gang of State convicts,
employed on the job.
The camp has been about halfway
en- the right-of-way in township Al.
but we were told that it will soon
move to fuckers corner, three miles
south of its present location.
Lee county is building her part of
the road on to Fort Myers and The
big ditch will soon flow into the Ca
loosahatchee.
When this road is completed il will
open up for settlement some OF the
best farming and trucking lands in

nominee of the party traditionally
and historically opposed to the Dem
ocratic party; that the people hold
the administration responsible for
! protiteering, the high cost of living
and other ills admitted by every in
telligent citizen. There is no such
thing in politics as a Republican
year" or a Democratic year" In
the sense indicated by these COM
mentators. To assume it is to deny
the wisdom of universal suffrage,
and to impeach the capacity of this
people for self-government. IL will
be a Republican year if a majority of
the people, after analysis, approve
of the Republican policies and are
satisfied with Republican candidates.
So much for that.
And to say that a majority Of the
people, or even a relatively large
number blame the administration
with all the evils growing out of
profiteering, including high prices
for necessities, is to accuse them of
short-sightedness, poor memories
and a lack of common sense. Pres
ident Wilson went before the Repub-
| lican congress months ago and asked
for laws and authority to stop prof.
| teering. 1t was denied him; not so
much because congressman approved
of the exploitation of the people, as
/ because they saw chance to put
the administration in hole" or
thought they saw such an opportun-
ity
Fundamental principles of govern
ment divide the two parties, and
they, the parties are not so wide
apart at that. The Independent will
determine the result and he is likely
to be guided by the estimation in
which he holds each of the leading
candidates respectfully. He will
match their records. Can any sane
person doubt that in doing SO he will
fail to give Governor Cox credit for
broader vision and for greater adj
ministrative ability than Harding?
The Ohio governors record is an
open book and it cannot be attacked
with safety. He has done things.
Harding has not done things. Cox
has initiative, he has been a pioneer.
Harding is the incarnation of party
regularity. He has been follower
all his life, and is likely to continue
J that role if he enters the white
house.
The voter has nearly four months
in which to make up his mind ana
every day of that four minths will
prove of advantage to the Democrat
Iic candidate. The more the people
see of him, the more they hear of
him, the better they will like him.
His election will not be a walkaway,
but he can, and we believe he will, be
successful at thegpolls. New York
