. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MR.. DEMERITT REPLIES

Editor, The Key West Citizen:
Ananias, who established an un-
enviable reputation for lack of
veracity, has indeed been out
classed by the modern prototype
responsible for the communication
appearing in the Peoples Forum in
your issue of November 5, 1882.
The statements to the effect
that l had anything to do with this
particular transaction are alb
solutely false.
Residents of this community,
from the richest to the poorest, have
cooperated in efforts to beautify
and to eradicate mosquitoes on the
recently acquired radio beacon site
on White street. Hundreds have
contributed rock, dirt and other
materials for filling an area that
is below low tide. 1t was for this
purpose my subordinates obtained
the four loads in question.
If "a Key Wester" was actually
interested in promoting the well
fare of the men who were being
thrown out of work, he would have
manifested a much better COM
munity spirit by promptly bringing
the matter to the attention of the
proper authorities for adjustment;
advising that there was an existing
contract for the removal of the
fill in question of which they had
no knowledge. If he had done SO,
he would have found, under the
circumstances, that the govern
ment truck would have been iri-f
mediately withdrawn.

COMMITTEE GIVES
PRAISE FOR WORK
DURING CAMPAIGN
THOMPSON AND ADAMS TEN
DERED VOTE OF THANKS;
ARRANGE FOR ACTIVITIES
IN GETTING OUT. VOTE

Sidney Thompson and Earl
Adams, of the committee, were
rendered a vote of thanks yester-
day by the Democratic Executive
Committee of Monroe County, at a
special meeting, for the excellent
manner in which the parade of last
Thursday night was planned and
carried out.
In discussing the demonstration,
Judge Burwell, the visiting speak
er, said that it was one of the fin
est demonstrations that he had
ever seen at any political rally.
1t Was decided at the meeting
to hire 20 automobiles to be used
tomorrow in carrying voters to the
polls to get out heavy and rep
resentative vote.
Before this a number of drivers
had been hired but others who had
been left off the list objected and
it was decided by the committee
to put the names of drivers who
have cars for hire in hat and let
one of their number draw them
out.
This was done this morning and
there will be 20 cars tomorrow to
help in getting voters to the polls.

Crawford becomes a stumbling
block when he aspires to become
governor of his state. To render
him free to execute a successful
campaign, she consents to an en-
gagement with q boy from her
home town whom she does not
love, But when at the nominating
convention her name is made the
butt of heckling propaganda Miss
Crawford resorts to more drastic
measures, which results in dra-
matte denoaement Of interesting
consequences.

DEMOCRATS To BE
LOYAL TO PARTY
ESPECIAL EFFORT MADE TO
SUPPORT NOMINEES OF RE-
CENT PRIMARY ALL ALONG
LINE OF ACTIVITIES
Are you a bolter?

<AAG yOA q OOAtCA
Monroe county Democrats are
not boilers. They are going to the
polls tomorrow to vote the straight
Democratic ticket, regardless of
what friendship some might have
for those candidates who would
have one write their names on the
ballot and those who would try to
urge one to vote for Republican
candidates on the false cry of
"two party governments"
Roosevelt is going to carry the
''solid south" He is going to be
the next president and Monroe
county is going to do her bit in
giving him a wide majority. There
must be no mistake. To vote for
Roosevelt voter must cross the
first seven names on the ballot for
the name Roosevelt will not be ON
the ticket.
Karl o. Thompson, Democratic
nominee for sheriff, and Ray FL
wood, constable from the first dis
trict, were selected by the Demo-
Gratis in the June primaries as
their candidates. They now are
entitled to the united support of
the party. They must also win
along with Roosevelt and Sholtz
for the party's victory in Monroe
county to be complete.
Someone may lead you to be-
lieve that with the Republican adj
ministration in power that the
Naval Station will again be open
ed. This we know is not true. The
south is doomed for another four
years if Hoover is reelected. This,
however, he will not be.
Every Democratic candidate
should be voted on. We selected
them in the June primary and we
owe them our support now. Re-
member to vote for Thompson. FL
wood, Sholtz, Sears, and all, DEM
ocratic nominees and to cross the
first seven names on the ballot for
Roosevelt.

ANENT DIAMoNDBALL
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
From day to day 1 hear, and 1
guess you do, the cry of the mer-
chants of the city, asking that the
ball games be stopped. ! think
that it would be good if some of
the people of the city could ex-
press their views on the matter
through your paper. | am send
ing you my views now.
1t might be true that diamond
bali games take some trade away
from the merchants, but not what
they think, as we all know the
main reason for the falling off of
the night business, is the reason
that all business has shown a drop.
There are very few places that
stay open after the time for the
games to start, and if the people
want to purchase things they need
they will do it either before or af-
ter the game. j think that the
stores that stay open late on Mon
day only, will save money by clos
ing at the regular time, for, as
I can see, they will not sell enough
to pay the light bill.
To go into the matter of what
the game is worth to the people
of Key West, as the Chamber of
Commerce will tell you. there are
four thousand people in the city
out of work, well, that four thou
sand has not the money to buy
from the merchants, or go to the
picture show, but they can go out
there and sit in the park and en-
joy an evening of pleasure with
out the need of a nickle. 1t gives
them something to take their
minds off their trouble, and these
are the people that I think of
when someone says stop the games.
1t was for the pleasure of thsee
people that /, with the help of a
few more, worked for in getting
the park made into a night ball
field. / think it would be shame
to stop the game, just because all
the seats in the shows are not fill
ed, or someone don't sell few
cold drinks. Turn the lights off
in the park and the young boys
that go out there now at night will
go back to the pool room and
gambling hall. I am for diamond
ball three nights week.
Very truly yours,
T. H. PITTMAN.
