BEVERAGE OFFICER
WILL MAKE ROUNDS
TO CONDUCT SURVEY OF ALL
PLACES REQUIRING
LICENSES

Asked today what was the
status of the places which are sell
ing beers and wines, some selling
liquors, in Key West, Beverage In
spector George Gomez replied that
at this time he is unable to say,
but he will know all the details
within the next few days.
Said Mr.. Gomez, 81 believe all
the places which intend to secure
licenses for selling beverages, in
Guiding intoxicants, have had am
pie time to secure them, and to-
night l am starting on the usual
round up"
Continuing Mr.. Gomez said
81 do not wish to place any person
in position which may prove en-
barrassin: and which may cost
them money in the end, but do
think that every person who in
tends to comply with the law and
protect his business by securing
the proper license has had the
time to do so. At any rate I will
find out within the next few days"

Mrs. VIM. R. Warren, who left

We face an UNUSUAL situation
in the business world, where con-
6itions are greatly improved, with
something like an approach to
real prosperity, spotted as our re-
covery is at this stage, but with
business generally proclaimed in
enmity against the administration.
Of course, this is denied in some
quarters, but, in the higher cir
cles of business and finance, there
can be little doubt of the opposi-
ton to the President and, con-
bequently. support of Governor
Landon. How many votes will this
affect? The answer is not on any
blackboard and the situation can
only be set down as one of the
factors to be considered.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-10-13

Then again, there is so much
propaganda being sent out, in the
form of speeches and from party
sources, so much big talk at party
headquarters and so many patent
efforts to pull something that will
get over big and hurt the other
side, that it is difficult to guage
the full effect Of the various
moves being made in the game of
politics. In fact, it is often a
question whether there is any net
gain made by either side through
the use of such tactics, but they
have cluttered up previous cam
paigns and they will continue to
becloud and befog the public mind
for years to come. During the
campaign it is not easy to put a
finger on the dominant issue, by
which we mean, the factor that
most influences the voters because
very often the candidates do not
know the answer themselves.

OF The Citizen

The campaign is on in full
swing this week, with speakers pa
rading the nation and political prog
nosticators busy trying to figure
out how the voters will cast their
ballots in November. Both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Gov. Landon
are carefully weighing the stra-
tegic value of their personal ap-
pearances, anxious to make their
addresses where they will do the
most good. Both sides are study
ing public reaction to campaign
events and doing their best to keep
things moving smoothly and eff
fectively.

sentiment that he expected to
dominate the electorate. Certain
" these drifts to and from GER
tain types exist but it is hard to
say when they start and when
they end, and mid-campaign
weeks are not the occasion for
passing on such a question.

: offsettins the attitude of bust
ness there is great enthusiasm for
the President in Labor circles,
with general belief that he will
get from eighty to ninety per
cent of the vote of organized la
Dor. This, it is admitted, he did
not have four years ago. Will it
offset his losses among the So
called upper crust or cancel the
defections of business leaders !?
Will unorganized labor follow the
lead of the unionized workers or
will they give a more willing ear to
the Establishments of employers?
There is talk to be found on both
sides of this question but, in gen.
eral, the President stands high
with working people and seems
reasonably certain to have an
edge among this group.

Meanwhile, there is not much
real news in Washington for a
commentator, although one or
two news breaks are liable from
the Supreme Court which conven-
ed last week and has on its pro-
gram decisions in regards to a re-
hearing on two important cases.
These will probably be acted upon
before the end of the month and
one of them may precipitate the
court into the l.melight again al
though the political significance
of the courts opinions can be dis
counted to a large degree.

Where the farmer will throw
his weight is a question on which
there is agreement in only one
respect, that both sides claim his
fealty and admit that if either
gets his general support the
election is in the bag. Undoubted-
ly, the big problem at the begin
ming of Gov. Landon's campaign
was to cut into the popularity of
the President with, the farmers.
Agriculture has been improved a
great deal in the past three years,
regardless of what you may read
and the farmers had been great
ly impressed. Have they been
turned toward the Republican
nominee, in the vital western
areas. by the campaign of Cover
nor Landon and his discussion of
farm policies? If you know the
answer to this question, you can
get your price from either side.

Readers of newspapers all over
the country are anxious for Wash
ington correspondents to give them
the right dope on how the nation
will vote but, almost witout ex-
cept:on, they want to hear good
news for their candidate. If the
writer is sending out his stuff to
Democratic newspapers he can
play the tune that will suit the
New Dealers and all will be we'll.
If he is sending his dispatches to
Republican newspapers he can call
the music to a turn and know that
those who read what he has to say
will be satisfied. These two sem
fences account for much of what
is being read on the present CAM
paign.

in the present campaign, the men
and women who have been assist

The writer of this weekly fea-
tura article, which appears N hun
dreds of newspapers, scattered
all over the United States, lists
among his publishers Democratic
and Republican journals. Conse-
quently, he is read each week by
thousands of Democrats and thou
sands of Republicans. Facing
this situation there is nothing to
be gained by trying to please
either group but much to be ac-
quired by giving an honest, un-
biased and impartial survey of
the situation as he sees it /, from
week to week. In the long run the
reputation of this feature is worth
more to the author than the fail

the triumph of either party in an

There are a numb er of very in
teresting factors that combine to
make predictions somewhat risky
in the present campaign. There is.
of course, the personal popularity
of the President, his unusually
acute political sense and the pow
er that he has to dramatize his po-
sition. Against him, we have an
able and honest man, with q record
as governor that has been capita
lized by his hackers but, withal,
nothing like the advertising that
has accompanied the President
and certainly nothing like his pop
ular acclaim in the past few years
during a great national crisis. Who
knows which type the. voters viii
favor? Who can tell when i the

Waterbury WPA "transHers" to PWA projects, men who have come in for considerable buffeting about during the past few months as . re. suit Of some obvious flaws i1 regard to the methods of getting back on WPA after having been transferred to the PWA roles, will probably not suffer any great mental break downs if there is c serious clirtails fnent of the PWA.

 Last week. the president ruled that while not requiring the ern- ployment of relief labor exclusively on public works projects, he would. insist that federal funds Do used for the sole employment of work CTS from relief roles. According to Secretary Ickes, unless the chief executive changes his mind, the public works administration would only Dc able to contribute about 10 per cent of the cost of the average project, where in the past ag much as 4B per cent had been contributed. All of which might mean Q curtail- Tnent of PWA activities, and, in view of conditions here in the city, c "break" for the local WPA men who are subject to transfer,
