even though they are taken from
other cities in Florida. 1t was
also emphasized that some COM
munities have been trying to get
industries from one section to
another and even go as far as be-
littling the advantages of the
other sections. These things do
not help the state. 1t is simply
shifting industries from one Sec
ton to another.
Colonel Doherty frankly stated
that he is not looking for any part
of the business which is Aow in
Florida. He is endeavoring to
increase the volume an hundred
fold and then get his share of the
new business.
Committee Member
Mr.. Malone was honored by be-
ing named on the reception COM
mittee from the Florida mayors to
welcome Mayor-elect LaGuardia
when he landed from his Central
American cruise.
He was also given the privilege
of speaking before the confer
ence of mayors and he believes
his remarks have brought Key
West more favorably to the atten-
ton of our neighbors. The out
look for a brisk and prosperous
season in Florida is very good and
Key West, from present indica-
tions, will get its share.
In attendance at the conference
was one group of newspaper men
who organized themselves into a
separate committee and pledged
themselves to as much as 200 inch.
es of free publicity.
Without specifying any number
of inches, Mayor Malone stated
The Citizen was a progressive and
up-to-date newspaper and always
generous in putting the advantages
of Florida before the people OF
the country, and believed The
Citizen would do it's part.
Colonel Doherty, he said, is 9
genial and generous host. His
hospitality was not only generous
but surrounded with beauty and
luxury.

Mayor Malone States Doherty
Much Taken Up With Key West

Mayor VIM. H. Malone told
The Citizen today that Key West
is resting in the mind and on the
heart of Colonel H. L. Doherty,
Florida developer. and he expects
to visit in this city in the near
future.
This was told Mr.. Malone in a
private interview with Mr.. Doherty
when the question of Key West
and its future development was
the subject of discussion.
Mr.. Malone arrived yesterday
from the Miami Biltmore Hotel in
Coral Gables, where he was at
tending the conference of Florida
mayors, secretaries of chambers
of commerce and newspaper men
of the state.
He said the conference was
very successful. That it is in
augurating a movement that has
long been necessary for the well
fare of the state and that is a
cooperative effort.
The keynote of the conference
was generous publicity for Florida
as a state, rather than weak eff
fort on the part of special locali-
ties. People from all over the
country, when asked where they
are from, usually reply from
California, New York or what
ever state they may claim. 1t re-
quires second question to ascer-
tain the special locality.
For All Florida
In Florida the answer will al
ways be, Jacksonville, Miami, Key
West or some special point, which
is the wrong kind of publicity,
says the mayor. He agreed to
make strenuous efforts for a pub
licity fund for the purpose of adj
vertising Florida as a state and
when Florida is put properly be-
fore the country the people will
decide on their own particular
locality.
Heretofore each section or COM
munity of the state has been
working for itself, selfishly. to
get people within it's own limits,
