STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT In
ALL PROBABILITY WILL BE
HELD IN TAMPA

At the meeting Thursday night of
the Rocky Point Golf club resolutions
were passed inviting the Florida State
Golf association to hold its annual
meeting over the local course this
year. Charles E. Ball president of
the state association, will mail invita-
tions to the various clubs throughout
the state.
In 1915 the Rocky Point club en-
tertained the state meeting but at
that time it was more or less an i'm
promptu affair due to the lack of a
real state organization behind the
movement. Should the Rocky Point
club get the tournament it plans to
make the meeting the biggest event
in the history of Florida golf.-Tampa

ing true, Florida is singularly blessed
by nature with productive soil and
climatic conditions, and the above en-
terprises properly fostered and pro-

of the richest states in the union.
Our Military Heroes
Every man and woman who deserves
the name, holds in sacred remem-
brance the heroes who made the su-
preme sacrifice, but it is not enough
that we should remember and glorify
the dead Those other heroes whose
bodies were broken, these and all the
others who returned to their homes
stripped of all but fadeless glory, de-
serve the highest consideration, and
it would be an unspeakable shame if
some adequate provision were not
made for them by their state and ma
tion in defense of which they fought
so well, and this provision should be
made not in some far off tomorrow,
bit now while their need is greatest.
And now in conclusion, ! want to
assure my fellow citizens that shall
stand on the above platform as con-
and unfailingly after cleo
tion as do before election, and if ]
am elected / pledge myself to dis
charge every duty IS see it, faithful

Better Government in Florida
Second--I WANT TO SEE BETTER
GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED IN
FLORIDA. A political office is not a
private asset, belonging to him who
holds it, to be used in the furtherance
OF financial or political advantage. We
viii have better government in
Florida only when men elected to high
Office shall think of themselves as rep
resenting the people and their welfare,
rather than their own selfish aggran
dizement. The higher and more inn
portant the Office, the greater is the
responsibility of him who would fill it,
and higher should be the deals actu.
ating every official act. He who as
pires to the high Office of governor
should know and respect the constitu-
tional prerogatives which are vested
IN the governor, and he should like
wise know and respect the limitations
OF executive power imposed by the
constitution and laws of the state. 1
am opposed to the governors office
being used as clearing house for
cheap and selfish political schemes,
and If ] am elected governor / will
nQt use its high functions to build a
political machine to advance the polit-
icai ambitions of any man. Neither
viii pander to passing prejudices
nor practice the crooked arts of the
demagogue. In general sense the
foregoing represents the primary is
sues and / shall stand for them with
out fear or favor. | shall also stand
