the House and Senate to determ-
inc their opinion as to who at
this time looked most likely TO
win gubernatorial honors in
1914, resulted in Lex Green be-
ing first place with small
margin over Fuller Warren,
while trailing were Speaker of
the House Richard Simpson,
Dewey A. Dye of Bradenton,
Colin English, Mark Wilcox, Mil

general consesuS seemed to be
that Green would be the man to

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-OUP)
The War Food Administrator to-
day announced plans for distribut-
ing twice as much new farm
machinery next year, by relaxing
tight production and distribution
controls so that farmers may be
helped in meeting 1914 production
goals.
Unlimited manufacture and sale
of repair parts is provided.
The program provides for 30 per
cent as many new machines as
were produced in 1910, better than
normal production year, compared
with 40 per- cent of 1910 production
which was allowed this year.
The order, effective Oct. is, sets
up three schedules of machinery
and establishes national reserve
equal to 20 per cent of the author
lied production of the items in
each. The reserve will be used to
meet new needs in areas where
there are significant shifts in crop
production.
