would not. Unless the workers were
given access to the tools of produc-

1T is queer that we always like to

some of us in the United States are

poor women the blame for the loss

Il should like to suggest to Mr.
Carl SWadener, of Belleville, O., and
all other men who feel as he does,
that they spend some time reading
thoughtfully and seriously certain

for Governor 0f Florida to the
people of this State subject to
the Democratic June Primaries.
In asking for the vote of the peo-
pie he announces his opposition to
Sales Tax and all nuisance
taxes and declares himself in
favor of both old age and moth
ers pensions, $500 automobile
tags, and taking the gas tax off
the boats of fishermen and farm
tractors when they are used in
industry. He stands four-square
for the preservation of the Home

the enlargement of its scope. He
worked for this Amendment

service in the Senate and in the
fight before the people for its
ratification, left his office, took
a sound wagon and went to every
city, village and hamlet in the

MONEY
must be raised to pay
OLD AGE
PENSIONS

j. NJ. Lee, candidate for re-
election as state comptroller, be-
lieves old age pensions are es-
sential in the economic structure
of the nation and the state.
Believing in this theory, Flor
idians can depend upon him to
support any effort to bring ade-
quate security to the aged of our
state.
If any one wants to know what
j. nj. Lee will do about collecting
these moneys to pay old age pen
sions, he needs only to ask any
Confederate veteran or any school
teacher. Jim Lee has insisted on
tax collections so vigorously that
teachers have been paid their full
$9,0O0,000 this year for the first
time in history and the spectre
of insufficiency lowering over the
pension fund three years ago has
been swept away and replaced
with the assurance that there
never will be shortage in this
pension fund as long as Lee is
Comptroller.
Jim Lee lives up to his promises
AS for instance read what he
promised in 1892 and what he
performed. Read his circular and
check on his performance.
