HODGES I William C. > Hodges, “Home-; stead Bill” submits his candidacy; for Governor of Florida to the, people of this State subject to the Democratic June Primaries. In asking for the vote of the peo ple he announces his opposition to a Sales Tax and all nuisance taxes and declares himself in favor of both old age and moth-} ers pensions, $5.00 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 stead Exemption Amendment and! the enlargement of its scope. Hej worked for this Amendment; through all the long years of his > 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 c:ty, village and hamlet in the State urging the people to ratify the Amendment. (Paid Political Advertisement) SPORTS BY JOVE Doings Around The j Golf Links (By GRAVY) Last Sunday was a day that you had to be an excellent swim mer as well as a guy that could not tell when the wind was blow j ing. It seems that about an even • dozen of the genus Homo Sapiens partook of thd Royal and Ancient pastime. However, they were not of the monkey genus but must have been an entirely different descent, being more of the Pisces family. However, let us get on with oud story: Whenever you feel the mood to brag, belittle your fellowmen or perhaps just be full of “baloney” do not discuss said matter with your usual golf opponent; or by tc'ling him how bad he is and how good you are. The other night quite an argument ensued be tween Pious William and Otto Kirchheiner on the one hand and Li Plummer on the other. Of course you would think that two against one would be unfair hi any argument but you never met up with Li Plummer. However, aft;-r some discussion it was mu tually agreed between Otto and WiPie that they could lick Li and Russell Kerr any day in the week including Sunday. But such was not the case the past Sunday on account of after 16 holes Li and Russell were 6 up on Willie and Otto and the latter named gen tlemen wish to have the matter dropped; Mr. Plummer thinks oth erwise. Mr. Valter Vinson could not figure the water puddles, breezes and other incidentals. Mr. Georgia Liera and Mr. Hartley Albury were not bothered quite so much with the aforementioned articles. A fivesome composed of Wil liam Penabable Kemp and Johnny Kirschenbaum against Hurricane Eddie Strunk and Melvin Russell with Charlies Salas as referee had a marlveous time seeing who could make the most strokes. It seems that Doc and Johnny fin ished two up on their opponents but all the scores looked Lke the National Debt. As usual Eddie managed to get more skins than anybody and pretty soon Doc and company will learn that they can’t play Eddie even for skins for Eddie will always be there for a tie anl on some of the holes will win them easily. Of course this docs not ment'on the nine he got on number eight hole. Now if Eddie gave Willie a stroke on each round, one also to Charlie Salas and three on each round to Melvin, he would be getting some where. No use to give Johnny Kirch a stroke because he won t take same, not even from P.obby Jones. However, it is their agree ment and who would the crowd rather lose to than Eddie?

HODGES, because he stands so far ahead, has been viciously slandered by the usual age-old sickening dirt spread by the professional politician and be cause HODGES lead the fight fori the masses of the people to get taxes off their homes and to kill the sales tax. The ‘‘big interests” don’t want HODGES because he stands openly for old age and mothers’ pen sions and because HODGES' fight for the tax. | free homes made these “special in terests” shoulder their proper part of the tax burden. If the voters recognize HODGES' past service to the average citizen by rallying to his ban ner, this leader of the masses, known for his “past per formances” instead of “political plat form promises” can win in the first pri mary.
