The article discusses the runoff primary election for a state and county offices, which was held on June 24, 1930. The race for Florida Secretary of State was between Robert Andrew Gray and Henry Clay Crawford, both Democrats. Presumably, Crawford was the son of Henry Clay Crawford, who served as Secretary of State from 1902 until his death in 1929. William Monroe Igou served as interim secretary until Gray was elected in 1930. Gray served in that position until 1961.

Other races discussed in the article include a run-over race for Seminole County Commissioner between W. S. Enztminger, C. B. Searcy, and H. E. Fuller. However, according to the article, the election had been suspended due to the withdrawal of Entzminger, leaving Searcy as the county commissioner for District 3, which consisted of the Town of Longwood.]]>

The Tampa Tribune on the KKK.

Chase & Company was established in 1884 by brothers Sydney Octavius Chase and Joshua Coffin Chase. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century.

The Ku Klux Klan was first organized by ex-Confederate soldiers in in Tennessee in 1866, but was disbanded by the first Imperial Wizard Nathan Bedford Forest in 1869 in order to avoid government sanctions. The second Klan was reformed in 1915 by William J. Simmons. Although the KKK deteriorated nationally during the Great Depression, it still flourished in Florida until a $685,000 lien was filed against the national Klan in 1944 for back taxes from the 1920s. In 1948, Dr. Samuel Green of Atlanta revived the KKK in Georgia, which spread to Florida and other states. In 1951, the Florida KKK responded violently to the activities of Harry Tyson Moore's Progressive Voters' League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) during a period dubbed "The Florida Terror." As of the early 2000s, the Florida KKK remained to be on of the more active Klans in the country.]]>
