STATE BANK SHOWS ITS
USUAL PROGRESSIVENESS

The board of directors of the state
Bank of Lakeland at their meeting
Tuesday evening, established an In
poyation in the way of bonus to
tie employees of the bank. 1t was
voted to pay each employe the same
percentage on his salary as the stock
holders receive on their money. For
instance, should the bank be able to
pay a ten per cent dividend to its
stockholders, each employe will re-
ceive as a bonus ten per cent OF his
salary. The plan is felt to be a wise
and just method of giving the en-
ployes a share in the prosperity OF
TIE institution.
The bank has also been consider
ing the comfort of tourists and Others
who may like to rest bit while up
town. Three of sixteen proposed
benches have been installed on the
Poinsettia park along the west sids
OF the bank building, and the Others
will be put in place as soon as they
are completed.

m+1am elected shall vote for mill
.,,+ rropressive, forward looking dem
o,rat and not one of re-actionary

right principles, and second whether
bo has any chance of winning the NOM
nation and election. Mr.. McAdoo fills
the bill in both instances
Asked why he thought Mr.. McAdoo |
stands out as an ideal candidate, Mr.. |
Mack said: He may not appeal to the
extremists, but he is a man that all /
con get together on. Wall street does |
not want him, but Wall street inter-
psts have to respect him for his bust |
ness genius. The laboring classes are
for McAdoo; the farmers of the west
are for him, and the women voters !
consider him the ideal candidate. He
an carry the usual democratic states, I
he doubtful ones in the west and
come nearer carrying New York state
than any other democrat"
The republicans are in the same
blight as they were in 1912 when the
Old Guard were for Taft and the vot-
srs were for Roosevelt. Now the rank
and file of the republican party are
for either Wood or Johnson, and the
Old Guard are in charge of the party
machinery. The reactionary leaders
won't permit the nomination of john
son or Wood, and 7 feel certain that
the radical elements of the party will
either split off and follow Johnson or
Wood or vote for the democratic nomi- +
nee, provided, of course, that the dem
Ocrats nominate a progressive. If we
nominate man like Marshall, or some
other easy going backward looking
member of the democratic party, we
cannot win"
Mr. Mack says he "hopes the Flor
da voters will send to the California
