Expended During Encampnent
OF Guard Units In Key West

Adjutant Waldron said that the
business of breaking camp will be
carried on this afternoon and all
tents would be down, it was expect
ed, by the time the main body of
the regiment was ready to depart
for Tampa this afternoon.
Battery "E' of Key West will
remain in camp until Sunday
morning. The band personnel and
rear detachment will move by

Americas Tribute To Sufragette
Recalls Women's Battle For Ballot
lBy Associated Press)

! Anthony's request that women be
included was denied.
She exchanged fiery words with
Horace Greeley, the editor, over
the issue.
"You are aware that ballots and
bullets go together" said Greeley.
"If you vote, are you prepared to
fight?"
(; Certainly" said Miss Anthony
"as you fought in the late war
behind a goose-quill pen"
The fourteenth amendment re-
ferred to citizens as certain

thony that meant women as we'll
as men. Wyoming had just given
its women the right to vote; so in
1869 Miss Anthony went to the
polls in Rochester, registered and
voted. Her act raised an enraged
howl. She was tried in 1872,
; found guilty and fined 500. She
refused to pay and never did.

IMPROVEMENTS
COMPLETED AT
HOTEL SEMINOLE
PAINTING OF OVERSEE HIGH
WAY INCLUDED IN MURALS;
RESTORATION PART OF
PROGRAM
(Speeial to The Citizen)

; JACKSONVILLE, Aug. 3D..
The Hotel Seminole, Jacksonville,
Fla, has just completed an extern
sise Improvement program, which
includes a very unusual and in
terest;ng idea in the redecoration
of the lobby and mezZanine.
! The mezzanine murals depict
ing outstanding scenes in the state
of Florida, are placed on the walls.
Done in soft colors and with the
rest of the room decorated in
blending and appropriate shades,
the room has a rare charm seldom
accomplished in rooms of this
character.
Residents of Key West will be
| especially interested in the paint
ing of the Overseas Highway which
is prominently included among the
mura's on the mezzanine.
Among the other murals are
scenes of the beaches at Miami
and Daytona Beach, Silver Springs,
Ocala; Venetian Casino, Coral
Gables; Fort Marion, st. Angus
tine; Municipal Building, Opa
Locka; Recreation Pier, ST. Pc
tersburg, and other interesting
Florida scenes.
In remarking on this work the
management of the Hotel Sem
mole stated that the purpose in
using these subjects was to adver-
tise the attractions and beauties of
Florida.
The lobby has been redecorated
| in a similar manner, except that
Indian scenes have been apprOpri-
ately used in connection with the
name Seminole. Done in bright
er shades and using as borders In
dian signs and symbols, the MUIR
ais add warmth and brightness to
this portion of the building.
Many compliments have been
, received on this work. The paint
ings were done by Joe H. Eggin-
ger and are executed with real
skill and artistry and the effect in
both rooms is outstanding. Much
! favorable publicity should accrue
| to Florida from these murals.
! J. Garnett Andrews has just
been named assistant manager of
the Seminole Hotel, according to
an announcement made by Chas.
B. Griner, manager.
Before coming to Jacksonville
Mr.. Andrews was resident of
Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he
had lived for a number of years.
He is graduate of the Univer-
sity of Alabama, class 1924 and
has enjoyed experience as a sales

National Guard Encampment
AT Fort Taylor Closes Today
Key West Battery Makes
Best Score In Target
Practice With Twelve
Inch Mortars

This afternoon brings to a
practical close one of the most
successful and instructive en-
campments ever experienced by
the Florida National Guard, was
the statement made by one of the
officers at the camp this after
noon.
Although there were a number
of interruptions in the target
practices, it was said, the results
obtained were highly satisfactory
and records established were very
good.
Battery ''E" of Key West made
a good record on the IL inch NOR
tars, with a score of 70. This
score was obtained by making six
hits out of eight shots and en-
titles the battery to the cup.
Battery I'D" of Pensacola was
the other unit competing with the
II inch mortars. 1t is under
stood that the score fell well be-
low that of Battery "E", but was
considered fairly good prac-
tice.
Battery "B" of Jacksonville
distinguished itself by winning the
laurels in infantry drill competi-
ton and also was awarded first
place for sanitary condition of
the camp.
However Battery "E" was a
close runne4' MP in these coaipxi.
tions and after the analysis of the
two events was written the Key
West aggregation was awarded
second place.
An effort was made to secure
the results in the critique of the
competitive firing of the 155 mill
meter rifles which was concluded
yesterday afternoon. but this mar
rative had not been concluded this
afternoon and it was said, would
not be before departure of the
troops.

THREE CASES
ARE HEARD In
COURT TODAY
TWO OF DEFENDANTS WERE
ARRAIGNED ON CHARG': OF
VAGRANCY; ALL ENTERED
PLEA OF GUILTY

Criminal court convened in re-
cessed session in the county court
house this morning for the pur-
pose of hearing pleas of guilty by
three defendants.
Judge William V. Albury pre-
sided with County Solicitor Allan
b. Cleare, Jr., Clerk {. Sam b.
Curry, Chief Deputy Bernard
Waite and other officials in at
tendance.
The first plea heard was that
of John Sands. He was charged
with vagraEcy and was caught
some few days ago striking match
es in the vicinity of the gasoline
dock, and fearing the possible re-
suits of this activity, business men
in the vicinity reported the mat
ter. His plea of guilty Melted a
fine of SIS and costs or 80 days in
jail.
Next defendant called was Paul
Russell. 1t was alleged that he
was very careless in the use of his
language, and in the instance for
which he was on trial it was de-
cidedly profane. He pleaded gull
ty. The same fine and costs or
alternative 80 days was announced
by the bench.
Last plea of guilty was enter
ed by Albert Henfield. He was ar
rested early in the week on a
charge of :agrancy. The arrest
was made at Tavernier by Deputy
Bob Combs, who placed him on a
ferry at Matecumbc and on his
arrival at No Name Key was met
and escorted to the jail by Dep
uty Waite.
He was arraigned before Peace
Justice Lowe at Tavernier and
placed under bond of 500. He
was also fined S. and costs or 80
days in Jail.

Mitchell White was today able to
return to his machine shop after
being confined to his home for
more than two weeks following Sc
rious burns inflicted by a gasoline
explosion.
Seated on an oil can Mr.. White
was doing electric welding. He
had forgotten that some time be-
fore he had loaned the can to
friends who used it with gasoline.
There must have been a residue
of the gasoline left in the can
which ignited when spark from
the welding rod entered the can
and exploded the gas.

Father Coughlin in putting over
his program feared that a split of
liberal strength might place Lam
don in office, IAN act for which
we never will be forgiven"
During the early part of the
Roosevelt administration it became
apparent that great efforts would
be put forward to permanently
ALLEVIATE the great number of
farmers who left the Republican
party in 1882 and thus made pos
sible the election of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The AAA and other agricultural
policies have been frankly intend
ed to give the farmer the equiva-
lent of what the industrialist and
the laborer are supposed to get
fromWhe tariff. Faced with huge
crop SURPRISES would bring ad-
vanced prices for farm products.
The cuts were made but nature
took hand and severe drought
! damage has speeded the elimina-
ton of surplus supplies so that, to
/ some extent, it has been necessary
/ to import SOME agricultural pro-
| ducts. This has been seized upon
! effect in agricultural areas and
! by the Republicans with telling
the battle for the farm vote is
becoming one of the features of
/ the campaign.
The fact that DR.. Townsend
and Father Coughlin have been
! forced to retire temporarily from
active campaigning on account of
their physical condition emphasi-
j yes the peril of strenuous utteran-
ces in hot weather. Both of these
men have undertaken massive
speaking programs and apparently
have overtaxed themselves. 1t is
doubtful if either of them will be
able to carry on unless they see
! the wisdom of moderation. Re-
CARELESS of what anyone thinks of
the men, or their political pro-
; grams, recover their strength and
make their contribution to the ma
! tons decision.
Senator Joe Robinson, of Ar
kansas, right hand man of the
administration in the Senate,
scored a decisive victory in the
Arkansas primary and will re-
turn to the Senate as matter of
course, since nomination is equiv
alent to election in his State. Re-
CARELESS of the outcome of the
presidential election Robinson will
be a power. With a Democratic
majority assured in the Senate
he will be the key man in deter
mining party policies under Re-
publican, and, in the event of
four more years of Roosevelt he
will be able to exercise great in
fluence upon what goes on.

PROGRESSIVES TO CONFER
BATTLE FOR FARM VOTE
ROBINSON AND BORAH
BY HUGO SIMS,
The Citizens Special Washington
Correspondent

What will be accomplished by
the efforts of Father Coughlin
and his National Union for Social
Justice remains to be seen. Un-
doubtedly his speeches will attract
attention, as will those of the Rev.
Gerald Smith, present head of the
Huey Long Share-the- w ealth fac
ton. Concededly, these gentle.
men of the pulpit may be able to
stir emotions and to change votes
but that the voters, thus changed
will go to the polls in behalf OF
their man, Lemke, in sufficient
numbers to make him a factor to
be reckoned with hereafter is de.
cidedly doubtful. Their work may
possibly throw some strength to
, Governor Landon, but the net re-
suit, as it seems to this writer
will be the stirring up of unrest
the creation of dissatisfaction and
the laying of a foundation upor
which to build a party group in
1910. ....ga IL.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-28

Another group which seems to
have its aim on a target in 1910
is the Labor organization, now
actively backing President Roose-
welt but frankly having designs
upon a permanent organization in
the future. That Labor will cast
the great majority of its votes for
the present occupant of the White
House almost goes without say
ing. There will be denials of this
statement but seasoned observers
of the political scene have reach
ed this conclusion almost without
exception. Should the new Labor
group show its power in the pres
ena campaign human nature is
such that the organization will be
continued and it is only a ques-
ton of time, after that, before
Labor will present its own candi-
date and its own party for the APP
prevail of the United States.
Another factor in the situation
today is the proposed conference
of Progressive leaders in Chicago
early in September, called under
the leadership of Senator Robert
LaFollette, with the approval of
Minnesota, Gov. Olson. This par
ley is for the purpose of endors-
ing President Roosevelt in order
that liberal votes will not be di-
vided and thereby "place in the
presidency a reactionary Repub-
lican." Gov. Olson, from his bed
in Mayo clinic, expressed full
approval of the purposes of the
parley, and while willing to aid
