Two plans will be found on the ballot. The original plan, sub- mitted by residents of the south portion of the county, is labeled Plan.No. 1. This was presented to the' board of commissioners in or- der that an election might be called. The law provides that other re- districting plans may be submitted and residents of the north end of the county worked out a plan of the way they thought the new dis* tricts should 'be laid' out. This plan varied but slightly from the first plan, and so delegations from each section of the county got together and worked out a compromise re- districting plan, each side giving and taking a little. 4 This is, "Plan No. 2" on the bal- lot and is the one voters are asked to mark.

Our Country S Right or Wrong LEGISLATIVE VETERANS ARE NEEDED * Tallahassee, home of the biennial sessions of the Florida legislature, will watch this year's elections with keen interest because many of the men we have come to know so well and favorably have opposition in their bids for re-election. Tallahasseeans know the importance of seniority in the legislature, and they know how vital it is that men of sound judgment make the laws for this great state. Veterans are important in the legislature because they usually draw the top assign- merits .as committee chairmen, and the fresh- men members look to the veterans, in whom they have confidence, for sound counsel and leadership. * Some of the veterans of 1943 and prior sessions have voluntarily withdrawn because of military service or for other reasons.

They both spoke to the as- semblage,, and I regret that Mrs. Madaleine Whitaker, also a candi- date for registrar, could not have' of the others who carried so much of the load of work in enacting the laws of the past two sessions that effectuated Governor Holland's excellent program for the state are opposed for renomination. There are opponents against such outstand- ing leaders as Clay Lewis of Gulf, former speaker; L. C. Leedy of Orange, Mabry Carl ton of Duval, Harry McDonald of Hillsbor- ough, John Bollinger of Palm Beach, Tom Dowda of Putnam and Joe Scales of Taylor. We do not claim to know the qualifications of the opponents of these men, but we can speak with cerainty of the splendid leader- ship qualities of the men seeking re-election. Bill Leedy, for instance. His colleagues love him for his forthright attitude and admire him for his keen abiilty to weed out the good proposals from the bad, quickly kill .the bad and help guide the good to passage.. Leedy can say "no" to an unsound idea as firmly as a banker declining a loan of uncer- tain security. He is just as positive when he believes a project is for the good of the state. In past sessions Bill Leedy was an outstand- ing leader among those who worked for con- structive legislation. Clay Lewis is another of those fellows who think in terms of what will help his state and his county. Like Leedy, Lewis has served in many sessions, and he and Leedy certainly will draw important committee chairmanships in 1945 so that their abilities may be used fully.-Tallahassee News-Democrat. To this editorial of the Tallahassee paper the editor of The Star can add little, except to say to the voters of Gulf county that, for the good not only of our county, but our state, Clay Lewis should be returned as our representative in the forthcoming May 2 primary. been present to join in the fun.
