The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-09-21

The September election in the
State of Maine resulted in a Re-
publican capture of the governor
ship, held for two terms by a
Democrat, the retention of a seat
in the United States Senate and
the election of three members of
the House of Representatives, two
of whom replace Democrats. The
majority for Governor-elect Bar
rows was more than $4,000, which
gave the Republican a chance to
cheer because it represented a
plurality generally taken to mean
normal Republican strength in a
nation which has usually voted
Republican.

Senator James Couzens, of
Michigan, went down to defeat
last week in seking the Republi-
can nomination. He is generally
credited with bringing about his
own failure by a statement issued
a few weeks ago, declaring that

No matter how the election
turns out, one thing is evident
that under the leadership of
President Roosevelt, the Demo-
cratic Party has become a factor
to be reckoned with on the Pacific
Coast, in the Plains and Middle
States. There was time, not
many years ago, when most of
these states were safely Republi-
can. This is not true today and
the campaign will probably be de-
cided by the voters in these areas.

Woman Linguist Maintains
Vow of Silence Is Years

Anne Louise Reinzi, of Boston,

she uttered not single syllable of

In 1910 she became a recluse,
locking the door of her home to all
visitors. Gas, electricity and water
companies had to turn off supplies
because she refused to admit their
inspectors. Recently kindly neigh
bors grew anxious when she was
not seen about. Police we're called,

Abolishing Potlatches

a T LAST accounts, the Canadian

ever he has left over he bestows upon
the guests and so winds up beggared

at present confined to the Indians. it's
not their own idea. They borrowed it
from some of the early settlers. It's
an old Scotch custom.
Tracing the genesis of traditional
things is interesting. l thought the
famous motto of the Northwest Mount

IT'S Holdout Time

TT is the gladstone season when last
on uniforms again unless they get bet
ter contracts; while the managers just
as loudly declare the boys will accept
what's offered or stay out of the game
forevermore. Through anxious weeks
each group proclaims that, from the
position thus taken, it will never, never
abate one jot or little.
But when the first robin starts north
and the last training squad starts
south, something always happens. One
side decides to abate quite few of
the jots. And the other side says, "Oh
shuckins, after all. what's title more
or less between friends?'
So this springs hold-outs become
this falls pennant-winners, or other

thing in either championship team will
be just as peaceful as a cage full of
panthers until this time next year.

we didn't give satisfaction. Anyhow.
one evening she took umbrage and
some guest towels and a ham and
one thing and another and silently
stole away. But looking back, | Cant
recall anybody else who could be so
ieisurely and so classy, both at once.
We are wondering now what class
we belong to on the present maids

DOES Ell CENTRO WANT
THIS PRODUCT OF THE BEACHES?

Before the Ell Cenrto city council,
pending action next meeting night, Is
an application for permission to esta-
blish a Tango" game in the former
postoffice building at Fifth near State
street A little more than a year ago,
the council turned down similar pro-
posal when it drew a storm of fiery pro-,
test from residents. The permit at that
time was requested by an Ell Centro
resident, but the game would have been
backed by interests owning numerous
Establishments in beach cities, where they
have been the object of official scrutiny
many times.
Tango. billed as a game of amuse-
ment only, nevertheless is a game in
which the player pays a nickle, a dime
or some other sum, hoping to win arti-
cles of considerably more value. One
person, in one night of playing, can
spend a weeks salary at the game. The
game can be operated legally, and super
vised so well it does not become the men,
ace il might turn into under poor super
vision.
Before the council grants permit for
such a game, however, it should take
into consideration every phase OF the
situation. 1t should consider whether
the game should be permitted IN the
state locality, whether its presence there
will effect other businesses in the same
area. whether it will become drain on
the community pocketbook, and what
other results its coming may have.
The views of business men should be
had as we'll as the opinions of house
wives.
There is no rush Before action is
taken, the permit under consideration
must be considered from every angle.

The Democratic Viewpoint
EDITED BY
The Democratic County Central
Committee
LANDoN JoLTs HIS CONVERTS

Newspapers and publicists recently converted
to the cause of Governor Landon seem none TOO
happy in their new allegiance.
Take the ST. Louis Post-Dspatch for in
stance Hardly was the ink dry on the edition
proclaiming its support of the Kansas Governor
than the candidate told a Minneapolis audience
that Secretary Hus reciprocal trade agreements
were injurious 10 American CITIZENS ana o.
fensive to American principles.
Now this was view to which the Post
Dispatch never had subscribed. On the con-
trarv, it always had regarded the treaties with
favor and had commended the Secretary's sag
acity in negotiating them. Despite its support
of the Republican candidate the PoSt-Dispatch
was under the embarrassing necessity OF dlSa-
greeing with him and declaring that the trade
agreements were an outstanding service to
the nation"
Then there is the case of the Baltimore Sun.
This venerable newspaper is stepped in Democra-
tic tradition. Indeed, for nearly one hundred
years ii has supported every Democratic candl-
date for President with the single exception OF
William Jennings Bryan Not long ago, after
much pondering, it announced Its refusal 10
follow President Roosevelt in this campaign
Then something happened. Governor Lanoon
went to Milwaukee and described the Social
Security Act as "a fraud on the working man
and "a cruel hoax" Nothing could have been
farther from the convictions OF The sun. IL
promptly repudiated the Governors views ana
stated that the Social Security Act OF the Roose-
welt administration a legislative contrlbu-
ion of permanent value" 1t. also criticized
the nominees trade and tariff views as the
traditional Republican viewpoints"
The next recruit to the Landon camp to be
embarrassed by Governor Landons comments
was Walter Lippman. noted eSsayist and col
umnist When he heard what the nominee
had to say about trade and tariff he threw up
his editorial hands and declared that such poll
cies would give this country government
similar to the worst of the controlled European
economies"
So it will be seen that the converts are not
a happy lot. 1t begins to look as though their
road like that of the transgresser, is hard.

licans and claimed by the Democrats. SubSe-
quently, their loss was mourned by the Democrats
and the Republicans claimed them for Landon
Right the electoral intentions OF the
region as a whole seem to be more or less Of
a tossup, as the farmers lately are reported
to be yeering toward Roosevelt again.
As q matter of fact each side claims a late
campaign drift in its own direction among the
farmers But as far as this correspondent
can learn, nobody can guess surely within shoot
ing distance as TO what proportion OF the farmer
vote will go to Landon Roosevelt or Lemke.
A late swing to Roosevelt doesn't necessarily
mean that a majority Of farms will be with
him Nov. 3 no knows how much OF
swing that would require.
And the best reason one finds for believing
preponderant reports of such swing is the fact
that after many months of heavy Republican
propaganda the New Dealers have lately cut
loose with what conceivably may be an effec-
tive counter-propagand campaign.
O.
The farmer is important in states well re-
moved from the so-called grain belt" Rural
New York rural Michigan, ruraf Ohio, rural
Pennsylvania--all are stronghods of Landon
sentiment opposed TO Roosevelt strength in
the cities.
In numerous states the extent TO which rural
voters repudiate the New Deal will decide wheth-
er large Democratic urban majorities can be
overturned.
One reason the farmer vote is so hard TO
guess is. according TO competent authority,
