Thirty-Iwo Hundred Qualify
To Vote In Coming Election

their candidates, without being
actuated by any "blare of trum-
pets" but by their own process of
reasoning, and they stick to them
to the last.
Only the impressionistic or emo
tionaiistic are swayed by rumors,
but because the vote of an cleo
tor of that type counts just as
much as that of a level-headed
man candidates have to be on the
qui vive to run down the rumors
and try to straighten out any ill
effects they might have created.
However, rumors have thus far
been much more scarce in this
campaign than in any other con-
Quoted in the city, though they
are likely to crop up before cleo
ton day rolls around, and wise is
the voter who discounts all of
them and relies only on facts.
/ On the other hand, one candi-
date is trying to spread a whis-
Ipered remark that he hopes will
grow into something of a slogan
before election day, but action has
already been taken by the other
side to try to discount what he
says.
The man and woman who have
the welfare of the city at heart
should be guided only by one
slogan-"Vote for the better or
best man." If every voter does
that, depending on the dictates of
his or her conscience to do it, he
has performed his or her duty to
the city.
Following is list of candidates
who have announced in The Citi-
zen:
For mayor: Frank Delaney,
William H. Malone.
For councilmen: Joe Cabrera,
Julius A. Collins, Uric Gwynn, w.
H. Monsalvatge, S. Owen Sawyer,

(Bx x. Y. u

ny 80 - So
With qualified list of approx
mately 1920 voters, the campaign
for the city election to be held on
Tuesday, November IA, may be
said to have entered the home
stretch when the time of payment
of poll taxes expired at the close
of business yesterday.
AS the potential number of vot-
ers in Key West is between 1890
and 400 There are nearly 5000
in the county,, the qualified list
for the city election is compare
lively small, due to the inability
of hundreds of residents to pay
their poll taxes and their deter
mination not to vote unless they
could pay the taxes themselves.
In comparing the population of
Key West today with that of for
mer years, probably the largest
number of colored people in its
history is qualified to vote on No
venlber IA. Many of the candi-
dates have conducted an intense
campaign among the colored peo-
pie to ''get out the vote" among
them, as a result of which, when
the books were closed yesterday.
the qualified list of colored voters
totaled approximately $50.
Relative To colored Vote
Who among the candidates is
going to get the majority of that
vote? 1t has been freely talked
that this or that candidate has a
"big majority" of the colored vote
"tied up" but it is safe to say
that it is no more ''tied up" than
the white vote. In view of that
apparent fact, nobody can answer
the question of who is going to
receive the majority of the colored
vote with any greater degree of
certainty than who is going to
get the majority or plurality of
the white vote.
Nothing else whatever that is
due to transpire is as uncertain as
the outcome Of an election Hardls
any election is held that does not
cause surprise or surprises, par
ticularly SO when it is wholly of a
local nature.
In the coming election the same
thing or things are going to hap
pen as have happened in other cleo
tions: candidates who felt as sure
as anybody can feel of anything
in the future that they were going
to win. will lose. much to their sur
prise and the surprise Of their
friends.
Who those candidates will be
nobody knows. That eventuality
as well as the one that will deter
mine the winners will be decided,
not by the talk, much of it of an
exaggerative type. that has been
going on during the campaign, but
by that "still, silent voice" that
accompanies practically every vot-
er to the polling booth.
Because of that fact, however,
"a candidate would be unwise to LET
up the least bit in his campaign,
for the simple reason that the
"still, silent voice" is frequently
created among many voters by the
intensity, or lack of it, of the
canvass by this or that aspirant
for office.
Make Own Choice
On the other hand. all the cam
paigning in the world does not af-
feet in the least the decision of
hundreds of voters. They pick

Thirty Thousand Dollar
Government Project Will
Be Started Here Shortly

That q government project i'm
volvins an expenditure of $50. 900
will be started in q short time at
Key West was told The Citizen to-
day by G. A. Duncan, supervisor
of the U. S. Department of Labor.
MIR. Duncan, who is the supervi-
sor in 80 counties in Florida, came
in ON the Havana Special this
morning for q business conference
with w. w. Demeritt.
The object of the conference is
to secure committee of three
prominent citizens to act in the
matter of employing efficient
workmen for the project.
This work does not come under
the head of Emergency Relief,
said Mr.. Duncan. It is strictly a
federal project and efficiency will
be the standard used in the EN-
ployment of workmen.
What the project is Mr.. Dun
can says he does not know. There
are several that have been APP
proved by the government for
Monroe county. One of these is
the quarantine station mentioned
in an Associated Press despatch
in The Citizen of October z.
Another is set forth in des-
patches published in The Citizen
several months ago relative to
work to be done at Key West bar
racks and Fort Taylor.
There is also the project for
building permanent kitchens at the
Fort Taylor grounds, used by the
Florida National Guard on their
annual encampment. This project
also calls for a number of per-
manent improvements at this site
and involves an expenditure of
$32, 900.
IL may also be for repairs to
the boulevard, now under way,
and in the opinion of number of
parties who are interested in this
project this is undoubtedly the one
for which the labor is to be select
ed.
Il is understood from Mr.. Dun
can that whatever the project is
there is no appropriation made for
clerical work and registrants on
the Emergency Relief rolls viii be
used.
After a conference this after
noon the following committee was
selected by Mr.. Duncan: Benjamin
ID. Trevor. chairman; William L.
Bates and Baseom L. Grooms.
