twice. Stops were made at the
intersections of Southland and
Duval, Duval and Fleming, Flem-
ing and Simonton, and between

urging the voters to register for
the coming Democratic primary,

$50.
Trevor Presides
Everything had been made
ready and Immediately after an
Introductory number by the
band, Ben D. Trevor, chairman of
the Democratic Executive Com
mittee, presiding at the meeting,
introduced the first speaker of
the evening, Attorney w. Curry
Harris.
MIR Harris spoke for about Is
minutes on the general situation,
of the need for large vote and
the necessity of the voters going
to, the polls ON election day with
the determination to be one of
the number to let the rest of the
state, in fact the United States,
realize the strength of Monroe
county as a political factor.
The next speaker introduced
was Melvin f. Russell, candidate
for state senator Mr.. Russell
gave straight forward resume
of his activity as superintendent
of public instruction, and i'm
pressed on the minds of his hear
ers the fact that he is definitely
interested in the education of the
present generation, in order to
prepare them for the future when
those who are the scholars today
will be the teachers of tomor-
row.
Mr.. Russell was followed by T.
S. Caro-. candidate for the legisla-
ture. He touched on the issues
of the forthcoming election, and
the remedies for which he will
use every effort in having adopt
ed He touched on proposed leg
j islation for the sponge fishermen
and the many matters which are
+ considered injurious TO the pro-
gress Of the people and directly
affect their means of gaining a
livelihood. The speaker was just
warming to his subject when he

was warned that time was up,
and reluctantly brought his adj
dress TO close.
B. c. Papy, incumbent in the
legislative office, was the next
speaker. His address was brief
and to the point. He explained
that his record in the legislative
body was one of which he was
proud, not only because he was
member of some of the most
important committees, but the
records show that he was success
full in having legislation passed
which was highly beneficial to
his constituents.
Attorney L. E. Harris, candi-
date for judge of the criminal
court, was next introduced by
Mr.. Trevor. The speaker stated
that on October Is he would have
completed three score years and
ten, and for the greater part of
that time had practiced criminal
law. He cited the fact that he
had never held a political office
of any kind. Never had been ap-
pointed, and had never been
candidate. He was the dean of
the bar in Key West, and asked
the voters for their consideration
at the primary of May 3.
He was followed by VIM. v. Al.
bury, the present judge of Grim
inal court. Mr.. Albury gave re-
sumo of his activities since en-
tering legal practice and cited the
fact of having been police judge,
member of the Florida legisla-
ture, of which record he was
proud. AS judge of the criminal
court he had been called to pre-
side in several courts of the statcsl
and his periods as judge had
been commented on favorably by
both the members of the bar and
by the press. He stated that his
record was a justification of his
candidacy for reelection.
The last speaker of the evening
was T. Jenkins Curry, candidate
for county commissioner from the
Fifth District. He was the chosen
representative of the jewellers on
the Keys. and felt that as the Key
section had never had represen-
tativc who lived among them, the
time had come for action, and
asked that he be elected to his
first political office. The speaker
cited that he was one of the
members of the original Overseas
Road and Toll Bridge Commits
sion. which secured the loan of
s., 500, 900 to build the present
highway. and believed that other
monies would be secured to COM
