1 WORTHY DESCENDANT

Out in Golden Gate park in San
Francisco where the old bald stand
formerly stood, there is monu.
ment erected to the author of the
National song. "The Star Spangled
Banner" and countless thousands
OF persons have viewed the piece of
statuary which represents Francis
Scott Key. In the days when the
show park of San Francisco was
smaller than it is now, and the
center Of attraction was the old
band stand. it was resolvedIto place
the monument to Francis Scott
Key the most prominent location
possible. and so the spot near the
music center was selected and with
due honor and appropriate ex-
ercises the, unwilling took place.
Then, as the park increased in
popularity, the children's play
ground was placed to the south of
the statuary, and as the city grew
and the requirments of the people
became greater. it became neces-
sary to find new and larger loca-
ton for the band stand, but the
Francis Scott Key monument re-
NAMED center of attraction
nevertheless, and today it stands
almost in the center of the great
recreation park, admired and re-
spected for the author whose heart
pangs for the nations flag crys-
talized into poetic expression.
Today in Nevada there is de-
scendant of the immortal Mary
land seeking the honor of serving
the people of this state as United
States senator-Hon. Key Pittman
of Ton pah. Mr.. Pittman has be-
hind him a fine old line of southern
ancestry, Francis Scott Kew, whom
grateful nation honors and re-
spects as the author of the Star
Spangled Banner having been his
great granduncle. And like his
illustrious ancestor, Key Pittman
is the soul of honor. He has fougt
life's battle successfully, honorahly
and fearlessly and has always stood
upon the side of justice and for the
people. Today he is seeking the
greatest honor which this state can
confer upon one of its citizens
that of United States senator. His
qualifications his training his
patriotism and his ability and en-
thusiasm are strong factors which
should be considered in this cam
paign. Key Pittman is repre-
sentative of the people worthy to
represent them fearlessly and
intelligently.
