Of this number 5 are white and 7
are negroes.
This information is received from
Secretary of State Bob Gray, whose
figures show that there is a total
of 3,359 qualified voters in Gulf
county. Of this number 3,196 are
white Democrats, 163 are negro
Democrats, and the remaining 12,
as we have stated, are GOP'ers.
Little increase in registration is
shown for the county since 1948,
when the total was 3,355 Democrats
and 22 Republicans. Of course that
decline of 10 Republicans might in-
dicate some sort of trend, but just
what it is, we don't know.
Our neighboring counties stack
up as follows: Franklin, 2,177 Dem-
ocrats and 20 Republicans; Bay,
15,793 Democrats and 216 Republi-
cans; Calhoun. 3,527 Democrats and
5 Republicans; Liberty, 1,540 Dem-
ocrats (all white), and no Republi-
cans, white or colored.
Totals for the state are 1,065,600
Democrats, of whom 900,140 are
white and 106,420 colored; 60,595
Republicans, of whom 50,870 are
white and 9,725 colored.
In 1948 there were 866,614 Dem-
ocrats registered in the -state and
59,858 Republicans, showing a big
jump in Democratic registrations
while the GOP ers showed but an
infinitesimal increase.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WE WANT TO BE SHOWN
There are many people in this country today,
many of them in high government positions, who
are attempting to change the entire concept of
liberty in America for one of socialism, which is
the next step to communism, and two of the most
outstanding are Senator Claude Pepper and your
friend (he ain't ours) President Truman.
We might as well admit the truth. This dan-
gerous trend is being brought about by poli-
ticians who are more anxious to hold onto their
fat jobs than they are in preserving our liberties.
under a governmental system of free enterprise
conceived by our Pilgrim fathers. It has been
truly said that "when a politician offers you
'something for nothing' you can be pretty sure
he will get a lot of somethingn' and you will get
a lot of the 'nothing'."
Government cannot continue to be strong by
destroying the people's initiative and indepen-
dence. The history of every business is literally a
pattern of the ambitions of every single soul liv-
ing- under liberty and freedom. Of course, we are
not a perfect people; our profit and loss system
is not perfect; labor unionism is not perfect; the
legal profession, the church, the government, the
medical profession, are not perfect. Nothing is.
nor ever will be perfect, 20,000 years hence. But

Secund, we tries to git 30 millyun

our U. S. A. asks fer and gits whop-
pin' mazuma fer reklaimin' more

As more akers is reklaimed via

is snuk in where a taxpayin' privut
power outfit is allreddy supplyin'
plentyiful kilowatts. The plot be-
gins to thicken.
Sumbuddy is going' to make his-
self famus in congress by standing'
up on his hind laigs and sayin' that
all round-bout skemes of turning'
our U. S. A. into another Europe-

The voters of this here grand but
careless land of ourn are waitin'-
and with a welkum-fer sum gent
in congress with a haymaker to
rise up on his hind feet and start
the ball a-rollin' that'll git us bak

gramma and grampaw, where, iffen
you choose to sweat plentiful, you
cud prosper plentiful-and I per-
sunally believes George Smathers
mite be that their man.

Meanderin'-Potomak.

the profit and loss and competitive system is
better than any other system on God's green
earth.
Show us where there has been a country or
form of government by which socialism, collec-
tivism, or any other "ism" has given more com-
forts, luxuries and happiness than the American
system.
Show us whether the dictates of a socialized
state with its cradle-to-the-grave security are
more important than constitutional liberty and
freedom!
Show us; give us concrete evidence; prove it
by example. Prove that other systems are better
than ours; prove that the system founded on the
Constitution gives less life, less liberty, less free-
dom than any other system.
No, there is no better way of life on this old
earth than that which we have in the U. S. A.
Let us work, and pray, and vote, and fight, if
necessary, to maintain it! Let us turn out of pub-
lic office such men as Senator Claude Pepper
who would impose communism on us!

It's a good bet that a great many people who
couldn't spell "parity" prior to the potato crisis
actually have some understanding of the price
support program by this time. When a man starts
paying more for his food than he actually needs
to, he is likely to start asking questions. And at
this point many of the obvious questions would
be hard to answer to anyone's satisfaction.

County Registration Goes Up
C. G. Rish, supervisor of registra-
tion for Gulf county, states that ap-
proximately 2500 voters are regis-
tered in tbhe county this year, as
compared to about 1300 in previous
election years. The hike in figures
is due to the increase in population
of Port St. Joe during the past two
years.

'Nuts!' Said the General
To the Germand Demand
Because of the inspiration of the
direct quotation at the time of ut-
terance, M-G-M received the un-
precedented approval of the Pro-
duction Code to bring General Mc-
Auliff's immortal answer-"Nuts!"
-to the screen.
The unequivocal answer comes as
a climax to a suspense-packed mo-
ment in "Battleground," M-G-M's
authentic G.I. drama showing for
the last times today at the Port
Theater, and hailed as the greatest
war story of this generation.
That single word, which was pre-
viously barred from the screen in
either its primary form or various
derivatives, obviously had no syno-
num. "Nuts!", telling the German
commander, as McAuliff's message
bearer explained, where to go, just
had to be used.
A small point, seemingly, but in-
dicative of the length to which the
studio went to ensure absolute au-
thenticity, vocal and visual, a de-
:sire for accuracy which created the
novel spectacle of technical ad-
visers outnumbering the cast two
to one!
In charge of the paratrooper de-
tail, and serving as the film's tech-
nical adviser, was Lieut. Col. Harry
W. 0. Kinnard, chief' of plans and
operations at Bastogne. It was his
tactical defense of the town which
halted the Nazis. At the war's end,
defeated German generals refused
to believe that the baby-faced Kin-
nard, who is 30 but looks 20, had
foiled them. "This schoolboy?" they
inquired incredulously.
Assisting was Major Salve Math-
eson, also a Bastogne veteran, and
acting C.O. of the paratrooper, and
20 G.I.'s who had learned about
Bastogne the hard way.

Pepper Smathers

Race Is Analyzed
In Saturday Post

Article Says Experts Agree That
Smathers Has Opportunity To
Defeat Left-Winger Claude

The chances of George Smathers
defeating Senator Claude Pepper
in the primary next week are an-
alyzed in the April 22 issue of The
Saturday Evening Post.
Ralph McGill, editor of the At-
lanta (Ga.) Constitution, writing
under the title "Can He Purge Sen-
ator Pepper?", says that political
experts' generally agree that Sma-
thers has a "solid opportunity to
weather the expert campaigning of
the left-win3, long-in-office Pepper.'
Discussing the issues between the
two,. McGill lists the Taft-Hartley
law, social security expansion, and
the compulsory health insurance
bill.
Labor has attacked Smathers for
his vote for the Taft-Hartley law,
McGill points out, but Smathers
has replied: "They know I don't
want to destroy labor. I voted
against the original Hartley bill,
and I will vote to amend this, one
where needed. But we need a la-
bor law."
McGill goes on to say: "Sma-
thers' support of the Taft-Hartley
law was bolstered by the local coal
strike and allowed him to say in
his speeches that, when either la-
bor or business becomes too big
and too powerful, we obviously
need legislation to curb either,
pointing to the anti-trust laws, to
the Wagner act and to the Taft-
Hartley legislation as illustrations."
McGill points out that Senator
Pepper advocates continued expan-
sion of social security and welfare
programs, "despite federal deficits."
Pepper also supports the Town-
send Plan and calls for a national
sales tax to support it.
Smathers calls this appeal to el-
derly people "a cruel deception,"
McGill reports, adding: "He insists
that we must keep the money
sound and not expand social secur-
ity until we can pay for it, lest all
pensions and security blow out the
window of inflation."

Orlando Paper Calls for Impeach-
ment of Governor; Asserts State
Employes Working for Pepper

According to an Associated Press
story this week, the Orlando Sen-
tinel, a strong supporter of Repre-
sentative George Smathers in his
campaign to unseat Senator Claude
Pepper, called for impeachment of
Gov. Fuller Warren on the princi-
pal grounds that Warren spent
$462,237 in his campaign for the
governorship.
The Sentinel said in a front page
editorial that Warren had sworn to
a statement of his canipaign ex-
penses of less than $15,000 limita-
tion then required by law, and it
added: "The pious cloak of political
neutrality which so ill fits the ex-
Claghorn of Calhoun county has
been ripped off by reports that
state and county officials, public
agencies and employes under Gov-
ernor Fuller Warren's control have
been ordered pressed into desper-
ate-and tax paid-efforts to save
Senator Claude Pepper from other-
wise assured defeat."
Previously the Sentinel reported
a number of state employes were
out "beating the bushes" for Pep-
per's re-election.
The AP story went on to say that
State Senate President Newman C.
Brackin of Crestview spoke for
Pepper in five towns Saturday, and
that Carl Gray, radio political com-
mentator and mayor of Panama
dity, introduced Pepper over a
statewide radio hookup.
At Pensacola, Pepper was intro-
duced by Carl Hoffman, brother of
George E. Hoffman, U. S. district
attorney for North Florida.

Kiwanis Convention

covering its 35th annual convention,

Larry Lawrence, president of the

Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club, says
that reports from the resort city in-
dicate that the organization's 1950-
meeting will be "superb from the
standpoints of sheer brilliance and
'big name' talent."
A majority of Kiwanis Interna-
tional's 3100 clubs throughout the
United States, Canada, Alaska, Ha-
waii and the Yukon Territory, in-
cluding the St. Joe club, will be rep-
resented at the convention, and

the convention program will be the
traditional "Main Feature Enter-
tainment" the evening of May 10.
This outdoor pageant, open to the
public, will be held in the Orange
Bowl, bringing together many of
the South's most spectacular bands
and drill teams. The production
will be climaxed with a stunt-thrill
exhibition and probably a gigantic
fireworks display.
Wives of delegates are not being
forgotten in the advance planning.

At past international conventions
they have been kept busy from
morning until night, and this year's
meeting will not be an exception,
Lawrence declared.

PAID POLITICAL ADV. BY PEPPER FOR SENATOR HDOC.. TALLAHASSEE

How was I doing before Roosevelt??
How am I doing TODAY??

This senatorial election has a lot of issues -- but none more
important than the ones that concern you as an individual!
ISN'T IT TRUE that today you, your family, and
your friends are sharing more of the good things
of life than ever before?
ISN'T IT TRUE -- that today people's earnings and
wages even dividends are at an all-time high?
ISN'T IT TRUE that things like Social Security,
Minimum Wage, and Farm Support have increased
everyone's income and security?
and...ISN'T IT TRUE that most of these measures were
created by real Democrats Ilike Roosevelt
and Pepper?
Before you vote ask yourself How
.am I doing Today? Then vote to
return to office a man who has done
so much for the prosperic) of all
Americans... CLAUDE PEPPER. .

Sensation Strain of Cosmos.

Native Bloom

With Ambition

Is the Cosmos
Cosmos, pronounced coz-muss, is
an ambitious American flower,
which has shown the will to im-
prove under the guidance of Amer-
ican plant breeders. Thirty years
ago the large 3 to 4-inch flowers
which now bloom in northern gar-
dens from July until frost, were so
late that plants were often frozen
before they bloomed. Only in the
deep south could the yellow cosmos
be flowered.
Now we have the varieties Orange
Flare and Yellow Flare which
bloom in midsummer, and the Sen-
sation strain with giant blooms of
pink, rose, white and crimson,
flowering in midsummer from seed
sown in the spring, and increasing
in abundance until winter kills the
plants.
Cosmos is a background plant.
It develops as a loose bush, grow.
ing up to four feet tall, with its
lovely single flowers terminating
stems and branches. The foliage
of the Sensation strain is fern-like.
In the rear of the border it forms
a misty screen of lovely coloring
which casts no shadows, and allows
free passage for sunshine and fresh
air.
Flowers of this strain are excel.
lent for cutting, lasting in good con-
dition for 10 days. It is a tropical
flower, from Mexico, but it is no
more demanding as to soil and
temperature than the good natured
marigolds. The seeds germinate in
eight days and the plants grow
vigorously in average garden soil
They respond with 4-inch flowers
t6'goiIdfedirig, but produce' abum
dantly without this stimulation.

The group returned to the Centen-
nial building and ate lunch. Ice

Mrs. Fennon Talley accompanied us
on this enjoyable outing.

WHAT DAN TURNER, PAST PRESIDENT OF THE FLORIDA

CATTLEMEN'S ASSOCIATION, HAS TO SAY ABOUT FLORIDA'S

HARD-WORKING SENIOR SENATOR .

CLAUDE PEPPER

Bradley Junction, Florida
April 24, 1950
DEAR CLAUDE:
I will be with you at each place you speak in Polk and Highland County today.
You can use any of the following, if you desire.
(1) Several years ago a federal quarantine was slapped on Florida because of
the fever tick. It wasW so tight that Ringling Brothers Circus could not move
its animals out of Florida. I went to Washington and saw YOU and YOU
had it lifted.
(2) Again I went to Washington when the bars were about to be let down to
let in Argentine beef at the time that the dread foot and mouth disease
was raging in Argentina. It was largely through your efforts that this was
prevented. I think the fight you waged to lift the blockade and keep
foreign beef out saved our cattle industry.
Thes are just two of the many things you have done to help our cattle industry.
(3) Polk is the largest cow county in the state. In other words, has more cows.
(4) I am now serving as Chairman of the Statae Livestock Sanitary Board. I
was first appointed by Governor Holland and reappointed by Governor
Caldwell. Now serving under Governor Warren.
(5) I am Past President of the Polk County Cattlemen's Association and the
Florida State Cattlemen's Association.
I took up at least a month of your time in Washington while I was President
of the State Association. I am not the type to forget one who has done so much
for so many people.
I have been working for you long before your opponent announced. I have
not seen my cows for the past week and won't see them until after May 2.
Best of luck and best wishes.
Sincerely,
DAVE TURNER.

Howdy, Folks...

I CERTAINLY WILL APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE

Further savings of millions of
dollars in freight rates for Flor-
ida shippers are in prospect if
the present Railroad Commission
is allowed to continue its fight,
says Jerry W. Carter, one of the
two members seeking re-election.
"Railroad officials have testi-
fied under oath before the inter-
state commerce commission that
the Florida Railroad and Public
Utilities Commission has pre-
vented them from collecting $2,-
000,000 a year in freight charges,"
says Commissioner Carter.
"This commission now is en-
gaged in resisting efforts of the
ICC to force higher rail freight
rates on us. We expect to fight
; to the Supreme Court of the U.
. S., if necessary, to prevent what
we consider a discrimination
against Florida shippers."
Jerry, as he is known through-
out Florida, pointed with consid-
erable pride to the recently suc-
cessful Southern Governor's rate
case, which he started and de-
fended for more than ten years
before it was ended to the satis-
faction of Florida shippers. He
said the commission expects to
continue its present program of
expanding all transportation and
communications-telephone and
telegraph-into rural and sub-
urban areas, with the co-opera-
tion of the utilities concerned.
Carter was elected to the Rail-
road Commission in 1934, and
has served since that time. He
is a native of Alabama, has lived
in Florida since 1906, is now 62
years old, and is the father of
seven sons and the grandfather
of 14 boys and girls. He and Mrs.
Carter live in Tallahassee.
