Interesting information is coming out of Key
West now regarding progress the biggest road
project yet undertaken in the South. It may be
the biggest thing in view and promoted anywhere
Of ia kind for the long highway Is to be constructed
very considerably over the waters Of the Atlantic
and gulf except for the fact that there are to be
many miles of actual roadway, over islands and
keys and on made land, the long bridges form the
most important part Of the highways Monroe
county Is doing this thing on her own responsibility
and expects to make il = success The highway win
extend from the mainland to Key West island, and
the project involves the expenditure Of about
sl6.o0o.000.
An engineering firm will submit plans for the
construction of the long bridges, the cost being
esfimated at s12Ooo.ooo. and plans are to be SUBJ
mifted TO the county commissioners within ninety
days regarding actual work. Sixty days after the

inside the Ave months indicated as allowed, work

THE NEED FOR FLETCHER
Tampa Tribune)


Any list of Florida's biggest assets ought to in
clude the name of Senator Duncan u. Fletcher,
because men like him are just as real and almost
as famous assets as Florida's climate.
Florida is almost unanimous for Fletcher, be-
cause Fletcher is always working for Florida His
Importance as national figure is also recognized
outside his home state, as he is the ranking Demo-
crat on the commerce committee and the military
affairs committee, besides holding other important
committee positions.
Claude N Bennett, founder and president of
the Congressional Information Bureau at Washing
tom is one of Senator Fletchers strongest admirers.
as shown in an interview in the Miami Daily News.
Mr.. Bennett is in position to know whereof he
speaks, and here are some of his opinions:
In the past 10 years, with all the tickle
ness that Florida has been charged with, she
has stuck to two things belief in Senator
Fletcher and in the states future. As see
it. the two are still hand in hand.
guess am in as good position as any
one to get view of what goes on in congress.
know no new man could do for Florida what
veteran of Senator Fletcher's standing can s
and doubt that there many who would work
up to his enviable position in the time he has
been in the upper chamber.
It is q pleasing apparent fact that nobody
can beat Senator Fletcher in the primaries.
Then don't bother him, don't interrupt him,
don't distract his attention from big details in
Washington. Don't put him to the trouble and
expense of campaign.
Length of service Is tremendous asset in
Washington, but that isn't Senator Fletcher's
strongest point. His ability, knowledge and
fearless though never sensational, stand for
good legislation are what enabled him to at
tain this length of service. And he is a more
valuable man than ever. His powers are
steadily on the increase.
The important thing Is: Don't forget
Senator Fletcher. He doesn't make much noise
and his friends have to attend to that while he
does the work. Fortunately, he has plenty of
friends
The June primary election is fast approach
ing. Registration books are already OPEN And
the time comes nearer, it is still more apparent
that Fletcher viii be re-nominated by a unanimous
vote from all counties of Florida The state will
continue to stick to its senior Senator for the very
good reasons outlined by Mr.. Bennett.

YOU do not advertise intelligently, the
better class of newspa pers would pre-
fer that you do not take space at all.
Poor Advertising Hurts.
Poorly conceived advertising will
fail to bring YOU results and will hurt
the reputation of this powerful bust

One of the most valuable assets Of
advertising among companies having
extensive public relations. Mr.. Wiley
pointed out, is the influence it has on
the company's own employees. Public
