was referring to the 1925 race Y
the National League, it being
rather dubious business to refes
TO any other.
In statement made to the writer
today, Heydler predicted the great
est race since he became identified
with the league in an executive ca
pacity. OF the eight competing
clubs. he conceded that only two
the Phillies and Cubs. had other
than q good gambling chance to
win the pennant.
OF the remaining six. he named
four, the Pirates, Giants. Cardinals
and Reds, as logical contenders, and
the other two. the Braves and
Dodgers, as more than vague pos
sibilities.
He said:
sTn only four seasons out Of the
last seventeen have we had any
thing better than 3 twO-team race.
In 1908, 1909. 1915 and 1916 three
clubs were in the running. This

Heydler's remarks were made in
full recognition Of the fact that
the Pittsburgh Pirates happen to
be the champions of the world and,
therefore, entitled to be rated at
the top of their league.
His preseason survey OF the No

what as follows:
Pirates: Improved by acquisi-

small cup but most eagerly sought
after. For years no American
could win it. but now it has

1t is strange how a golfer loves

that makes a man want to see his

TO THE CITIZENS

An admirer of my opponent,
writing in the Key West Citizen
of April "a, 1926, admits that /
am against County Division, and
thereby admits that all propa-
ganda, both verbal and written,
to the effect that I favored Coun-
ty Division has been a continual
lie.
In the same article, it is writ
ten:
His experience as a Senator
for twelve years and member of
the House of Representatives for
four years, sixteen years of SER
vice in all, is equal to that of any
member Of the Legislature, and
his experience is worth an enor-
nous amount to the people of
Monroe County"
| am writing this over my own
signature, and would like to see
Senator Malone come out in print
over his signature and answer the
following questions as to his fit
ness:
Do you riue on F. E. C. Rwy.
pass, and why?
Is it true that you paid slight
" over $500 an acre for 1885
acres of land on Key Largo, pur-
chased June Is, 1925, from the
Model Land Company, a sub
sidiary of the F. E. C. Rwy., on
terms of one-fifth cash, balance
in 1854 years, at per cent in
terest and sold same less than six
weeks later for S2500.00 an acre?
Is it true that the newspapers
were showing Key Largo sales at
$500 an acre and up at the time
you paid $500 an acre?
It is true that the Model Land
Co. wrote their agent refusing an
offer of $4,000 an acre for their
holdings at Old Planter on Key
Largo in June 1925?
Is is true that the Model Land
Co. priced the same land you
bought at 100000 an acre, eleven
and one-half months before you
made the purchase?
Is is true that the Model Land
Co. priced land on the Bay oppo-
site that bought by you, at ST.
100000 an acre more than six
months before you bought?
Is is true that the Model Land
Co. terms at the time were one
half cash, balance one and two
years, s per cent interest.
Is it true that with your <16
years of experience in the legis-
lature you did not realize the inn
portance of the Monroe County
water bill?
VIII you not tell the public why
you did not think to follow up
this bill and see that it got to the
Governor and that he signed it?
Is it not part of your duties to
see that local legislation is not
lost in the engrossing room?
What excuse have you to offer
for not following up this import
ant piece of legislation and seeing
to it that the Governor signed it?
The article in the Key West
Citizen of March 22nd, 1926, in
announcing the candidacy of SEN
ator Malone stated:
''Mr. Malone is author of the
Monroe county water supply bill
and secured its passage. This is
perhaps the most outstanding fea-
ture of his official career"
If elected to the Senate, I,
Frank H. Ladd, pledge the PEOPLE
of Monroe County that | will not
lose the Trumbo Island bill in the
engrossing room.
Respectfully,
