Senator Gomez Replies To
Statements Made By OPP
ponent On Stand AT Bay
view Park


James A. Franklin. candidate
for state senator, from the TWEEN
ty-fourth senatorial district, ad.
dressed the voters last night Al
Bayview Park in the interest OF
his candidacy. Mr.. Franklin was
introduced by DR.. William r,
Warren.
At the outset of his talk, Mr..
Franklin said that he felt that
Monroe County should elect a rep
resentative from the mainland dis
trict as there never has been one
given the chance to serve the peo-
pie since this senatorial district
was created a great many years
ago.
The speaker said his platform,
in aspiring to the office, was for

ments dealing with these institu-
tons of learning.

who also derive no benefits from

same category.

whereby those becoming disabled
in various ways, was another
measure which he promised to
sponsor in the event of his elec-
ton.
lie spoke of many other issues
involved in the campaign, and as
a whole promised, If successful in
his race, to give the people of this
district much more efficient adj
ministration than is the case at
the present time.
Mr.. Franklin then started to tell
of the shortcomings of Senator
Gomez. according to his view of
the situation. He said:
"Senator Gomez on one ccca-
sion in the senate voted against
the horse racing bill, and after
the governor had vetoed the meas
ure, he went right back to the
senate and voted for II. Gomez
claimed at all times that he fav-
,ored the bill. but when it first
came up, he voted against it be-
cause he was not allowed the
privilege of talking on the meas
ure sufficiently. which was his
main desire,
Gomez voted against the sew
en- and half million dollar school
fund because the measure did not
meet with the wishes of the gov
ernor.
"Gomez endeavored to take
credit for the passage of every
good bill that was passed. but the
fact of the matter was that the
only bill that he succeeded in get
ting through was . measure deal
ing with the pilot commission. !"
Comes Takes Stand
At the conclusion of Mr.. Frank
Inns address, DIR. Warren introduce
ed Senator Gomez, who took the
stand and underworld to clear up
the situation pertaining to the
statements made by his opponent.
Mr.. Gomez said that many Of
the measures which Mr.. Franklin
credited him with losing were
general bills, and stated that he
made every effort possible to have
bills enacted that were of benefit

With few rockfish. These fishes were
previously reported to have been taken
in large numbers in the nets of the
commercial fishermen. Benedict, as
all know, is one Of the best places to
cast for the early run of fishes.
While no shad have been caught in

fish. together with herring, are being

statement, because I saw the catch
and also obtained an 8-pound rock

In the lower Potomac, off Tall Tim

and rockflsh have been caught in the
nets for the last week or 10 days.

of the unsportsmanlike manner In
which many of the trout were taken.
