Federal Constitution was adapted, and I intend to demand the
observance of each of those rights. As governor, I will throw the
full force of the State and the full dignity of the office I shall hold
behind my purpose to maintain the integrity of the law in every legal
way open to me. I will not countenance violation of our rights, and
I will not condone any inVOluntary knuckling under to an invalid
Federal encroachment.

The proposed creation of a Federal dictator to oversee
our elections is a violation of the sovereign rights of the State

powers .

states' rights is a battle for men's minds, being fought on a world-
wide scale. I shall take pride in expressing to the rest of the
nation, with dignity and determination, the conviction of the people
of Florida on this subject.
