Mr. Simmons, Secretary to The Governor, Tallahassee, Fla. Mr. Dear Mr. Simmons:- I have been thinking much, since Mr. Lawrence and I called upon the Governor, of your remark in regard to the attitude of Senator-elect Buel Cook, of Chipley, on the proposed Prohibition amendment. We are trying to leave no stone unturned to insure success. To this end I am seeking the names of a half dozen or so prominent citizens in each county whence comes a Senator or Representative who does not openly commit himself to us. I want to have such men as will respond promptly if it becomes necessary to rally the forces at home to back a member of the Legislature up to stand by us, no matter what temptations the opposition may offer. Will you be good enough to send me such names of men at Chipley--or in that county--whose word would have large influence with the community and with Senator Cook? If you wish it, for any reason, I will regard your letter as confidential and will not refer to you in any correspondence. May I not have your reply promptly? I thank you in advance for it. Your very truly, C. L. Collins, State Superintendent.
