Tht votti-3 of Florida art call
ed upon to decide many grave
((utstions at the spring prima
nes. It is my desire that every
mtin shall know how I stand on
Itebe issues. I hope I shall be
able to address gatherings in all
the principal communities Those
whom I cannot reach personally
must be touched through the
columns of the local newspapers.
Those whom I will meet per
Konally will be in better position
Ij jude for themselves from
taiviiH read and considered my
platform. With this in view, 1
lave prepared a short synopsis of
fie sixteen cardinal reforms and
I rinciples embodied in my plat
form for publication in every
newspaper in the state. I ask
the people of Florida to make me
their governor as the measure of
their approval of my stand on
these measures.
PLATFORM.
First. Extended and increas
ed powers of the Railroad Com
mission, which will ir.sure the
utmost rights for the shippers
and which will guarantee proper
Md equitable rates.
Second. The Convict Lease
system of Florida is a brutaliz
ing oie. I am in favor of its
abolishment and the placing of
the convicts on the public high
ways of the state. Florida needs
ttore good roads and I believe j
"at they can best be secured by
working our convicts thereon;
also, the state has no right to
profit by the misfortunes of its
citizens. The actual labor to
maintain the support of the con
yict is all the state is entitled.
Any profit should be set aside
for the benefit of the family of
the convict; because we should
Punish the criminal is no reason
hy his family should suffer. On
the contrary, they should be pro
jected and supported by the la
tor of the convict and thus the
tate will be relieved of the poB-j
ibility of the family being a
public charge.
Third. To t-r:ab)ish the
rul '8 of t!ie peopit tno to meet
conditions that confront us to
day, I am in favor of the initi
ative, referendum and recall.
The initiative means that the
people shall, by petition or oth
erwise, make their desires known
to the law-making bodies.
The referendum means that all
laws passed by the law-making
bodies shall be referred direct to
the people before they become
operative. At an election called
for that urpose the people can
vote for or against laws passed
by their representative and a
majority vote for or against a
law adopts it or rejects it.
ThJ recall means that at any
election, .special or regular, the
Deoule may. by ballot, determine
whether or not a public servant
whose term has not expired is
still acceptable to them, ami a
majority vote for or against him
determine whether or not that
eprviint .shnll stav. in office or be
recalled.
Fourth. I favor additional
laws for the control of the trusts.
Fifth. There should be string
ent laws governing all corpor
ations authorized to do business
in Florida, thus protecting pur
chasers of securities offered by
such corporations.
Sixth norma nas suimeu
irrefttlv through the operations
of irresponsible land companies.
I, therefore, favor strict laws
governing land and colonization
companies in order to protect
alike the investors and settlers
and the reliable dealers.
Seventh. The drainage of the
lands known as the Everglades
by the state on a safe, scientific
and business basis that will in
sure drainage and reclamation,
and that the same shall be drain
ed and saved for its people, and
not permitted to go into the
hands of speculators. If the state
is to be responsible for the drain-
; campaign contributions and ex- treasurer and i.ll.l.ills raid. Hoard
penditures, and regulate and lim-1 adjourned. .. McLkuIj. Chair.
j it the amount that legally shall q Fei.der, Sec
i be expended by candidates for' .
office, state and county, and fori
what purpose said expenditures
shall be authorized.
Eleventh. Legislation that j
will improve and extend our free
public school system, providing
every opportunity throughout
I the state for the education of our
children.
Twelfth. Continuation of lo-
ical option and a strict enforce- txfhMnn,Kfy
ment in every county of the lo ' Tiwnsenj. bii! $ 77

Thirteenth. The increased ef
ficiency of the National 'juard
and Naval Militias of Florida by
state and municipal aid.
Fourteenth. Legislation ex-
tending and increasing the pow
ers of municipal and county gov
ernments, thus giving the people
absolutely home government.
Fifteenth. The conservation
of our natural resources under
the control of the state.
Sixteenth. A conservative
and progressive business admin
istration of the state, giving
complete publicity at all times of
its affairs.
These declarations cover the
issues which are of most interest
and importance to our people at
this time. My record as a pub
lic servant should be sufficient to
insure the justice and wisdom of
my stand on any question of im
portance which shall arise later.
I have always and consistently
been on the side of the people,
as a whole, as my record will
show. I stand for a conserva
tive, business administration of
the affairs of the state of Flori
da. If elected, I shall undertake to
perform my part of a great work
as thoroughly and patiently as if
engaged in the management of a
vast business enterprise of my
own. Under such an adminis
tration Florida should move rap
idly forward in all lines of
progress and tha full measures
of prosperity, which our diver
sified resources promise, should
be realized.
