Moeur's plurality

Other candidates failed to receive majority, but
were chosen by plurality, as was the case OF Moeur
these being Senator Ashurst W. NJ. Cox, nominee Tor
CORPORATION commissioner; James II. Kerby, chosen
for secretary of sate Nit Sims, treasurer nomlnee
and John L. Sullivan nominee Tor attorney general.
Yet in spite of this, only the nominee for the COVER

tent on the part of supporters of opposition cand-
dates not one word has been said against the 9TH

It is alleged that in at least four counties some
Democrats will lend aid and comfort to the Repubi

cause their choice was unsuccessful in the primaries
This is an exhibition Of poor craftsmanship and bad
judgment never before displayed in a campaign III

were he to achieve the impossible feat Of winning,

No person can class himself as true Democrat

Hallowe'en

Hallowe cal is very ancient festival, whose or
gns probably anedate recorded history but appears
to have been an outgroWth Of the custom of lighting
sacred fires on prescribed occasions. In oden times
an essential feature Of the celebration was the light
ing Of bonfire at nightfall by each household.
In Ireland and in parts of Scotland similar fes-
tiva called Beltane, observed by lighting two
fires close together when both persons and animals
would pass between them in the belief that disease
would thereby be warded off Accounts Of such
ceremony were recorded early as about the year
908 A. D.
In Germany similar rites were held, often with
view to appeasing evil spirits, these being also OBJ
served with certain variations in Spain and Italy.
China and Japan hold ceremonies for the entertain
ment of ghosts, when the streets lined with Ian
terms It is said that some American Indian tribes had
similar customs.
Running through the history of Hallowee en- is the
idea that spirits mostly evil ones We're abroad that

(, ROOSEVELT BALL
AT ATHLETIC CLUB
EVENT TO TAKE PLACE TUES
DAY EVENING, JANUARY 80;
HOWARD WILSON'S BAND
TO FURNISH MUSIC

Whatever our politics at this
time, we all join in admiration
for the manner in which our
president has fought and con-
quered a physical disability which
might have rendered him entirely
unfit for the. arduous duties of
his presidential life. but due to
his own determination and the
wonderful curative qualities of
Warm Springs, Georgia, he now
is able to take active part in the
life Of the high estate to which
the country has called him.
Not the least admirable of the
characteristics of this remarkable
man is his generous thought for
others in the country who may
have suffered as he has, and
hence his desire to have them
benefit by the Warm Springs
treatment.
For this reason, Colonel Henry
L. Doherty and other prominent
men, appointed his birthday, Jand-
airy so, as the date for q birthday
bali to be held in all parts of the
United States to obtain the funds
necessary to carry on the wonder
full "cure" at Warm Springs.
Friends of Key West and win
ter visitors, let us all enter into
the spirit of this event on next
Tuesday the Both, and by buying
generously the tickets for the ball
at $1.25 a couple and attending,
show that we of Key West are
eager and ready to do our part.
The dance will be held at the
Athletic Club and doors will open
at 9:30 P. NJ.
The we'll known and always
popular orchestra Of Howard Will
son will furnish the music through
out the evening.

BOULEVARD AND

WORK STOPPED
ORDERS RECEIVED FROM
WASHINGTON DIScoNTIN.
UING TWO PROJECTS IN
MONROE COUNTY

Thumbs down is Washington's
attitude on the boulevard and
street repair projects in Monroe
county. They were ordered dis
continued at once.
A telegram received late yes
terday from H. S. DeSaussure,
principal assistant state CWA en-
gineer conveyed the information
that Project AIT, the boulevard
repair work within the corporate
limits of the city of Key West,
and project 44-12, oiling and
sanding paved streets mad been
permanently cancelled by the
Washington office.
All work must be discontinued,
read the telegram, and arrange
ments made to place the men on
these projects on project ALB,
which is repairing unpaved
streets.
The projects discontinued yes
terday by governmental order
have been the subject of much
discussion between Key West and
Tallahassee, Tallahassee and
Washington and Washington and
Key West.
Yesterday when the telegram
was received members of the To-
cal council got in touch with
Washington again, but were as
sured that all representations
would be useless as the order of
discontinuance sent by wire was
final.
Discussing the aquarium project
with F. w. Knapp, construction
engineer in charge, The Citizen
was told it is the intention to
double the hours on this con-
struction. Two shifts are to be
used. The first working three
8-hour days, and the last working
the same number of hours.
This innovation will not become
effective, it is understood, until
there is sufficient material on
hand to warrant the increase.

In the proposed tax revision,
the situation would be changed.
Capital losses would not be permit

capital loss deductions would be
limited to capital gains. Hus-
bands and wives would be requir-

turns among other things forcing
their taxes into higher brackets.
