BEAUTIFUL VINE
IN LOCAL YARD

Those interested in grow
ing beautiful flowers would
do well to visit Xavior Rogers
home, $40 Shavers Lane, and
see a night blooming cereus
vine which covers, an old
building in the rear Of the
residence. Saturday morning
it was estimated that about
five hundred blooms were
open and the beauty of this
spectacle was enjoyed by
those in the vicinity of
Shavers Lane during the early
morning hours.
1t is stated that these BIOS
SONS open at night and re-
main in full bloom until the
sun becomes too hot then
they close their glossy white
petals and wither. These
beautiful white blossoms with
golden centers cover the roof
of the old building and hang
well over the sides. For those
interested in viewing this
floral exhibition, Shavers
Lane is between Duval and
Whitehead streets and inter-
sects Olivia and Petronia.

JEWISH FEAST
OF BOOTHS TO
BE OBSERVED
EVENT BEGINS AT SHUTDOWN
WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER
80; SERVICES TO BE CON-
QUOTED BY RABBI MALC

Rich in tradition the Jewish
Feast of Booths, or Sukkoth as it
is known in Hebrew, will be OBJ
served this year fO. eight days be-
ginning at shutdown Wednesday,
September 80. The eighth day is
known as the Feast of Conclusion
and on the following day the Feast
of Rejoicing in the Law is OBJ
served.
Services in connection with the
event will be held at the local
synagogue by Rabbi Joseph Male.
In biblical times Sukkoth was
an agricultural festival. 1t was
the occasion for Jews to make a
pilgrimage to Jerusalem, there to
lay sacrifices on the altar of the
temple and to sing hymns of
praise and thanksgiving to God
for His bounty.
The destruction of the temple
and the disappearance of sacrifice
as a form of worship brought
changes in the observance Of the
holiday but the spirit of the festi-
val has not changed. Observant
Jews still build Sukkah or small
booth, in their yards where they
eat during this week. 1t is in
tended to be a reminder of the
time when the Jews lived in such
booths during their 40 years of
wandering in the desert and of
Gods goodness to them. The Suk-
kahs are decorated with fruits and
foliage of the fall season to SYM
bolize Gods loving kindness. The
synagogue too is decorated with
fruits and flowers, the palm
branch or lulab as it is called in
Hebrew, with citron or the ethrog.
-sprigs of fragrant myrtle, and
bOughs of the willow tree. All
these represent the harvest char
acter of the festival.
Sukkoth is also marked in Re-
form Temples by a ceremony of
conservation in which young chill
dren are formally indicted into
the religious school, with empha-
sis placed upon the thought of
Gods goodness as manifest in the
gifts which the Sukkoth season
brings to the world.

1t should be here written that
the States assigned to President
Roosevelt are generally speaking
his by a greater margin than is
the case with the States allotted
to Governor Landon. Two ma
tionwide polls, for example, gave
the President 229 and PAT safe
votes, respectively, compared to
SO and 40 "safe" votes for Gov.
Landon. The electoral votes in
States generally classified as "un-
certain, subject to change" were
given as 249 and 235. However.
in the consensus given above, $50
votes, from six close States, have
been included in the "Landon
Inclined" column because of his
strong showing in the Literary
Digest poll of these States. Mary

AS indicated above, President
Roosevelt is certain of 154 cleo
toral votes from IA States and
has the edge in IL States, which
give him 81 more, making his to-
tai PAL, or just Is less than need
ed to win. Governor Landon is
sure of 46 electoral votes from 6
States but is ahead in ten others,
with III votes, making his total
PIT, or 40 less than needed to
win. Six doubtful States, with 70
votes, are left to decide the con-
test on the basis of the present
outlook.

Iowan Runs Free College
For Lawyers AS A Hobby

HUMBOLDT, Ia, Sept. 2s.-
D. F. Coyle. 7s-year-old former
district judge, has conducted q
one-man, free law college as a
hobby in his home here for q
years and his students never fail
to pass Iowa bar examinations.
Former state representatives,
county attorneys and men and
women who have scattered to other
states have practiced law with
only the training received in Judge
Coyle's home classes.

In November, then, the people
of each State will go to the polls
to select a group of electors to
represent their State, voting for
the group that is pledged to sup.
port the candidate of their choice.
The ballots when counted will
show which group has been elect
ed and on the second Monday of
January the electors will meet at
the State capital and perfunctorily
cast their vote as electors, thus
giving to the candidate the vote of
the State in the Electoral College.
The vote will be mailed to Wash
ington. where it will be counted,
with the similar vote of the other
States. in the presence of the two
houses of Congress. The winner
must receive a majority of the
votes in the Electoral College, or
the contest passes to the House
of Representatives for decision.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-09-28

While we do not vote directly
for President, we do support the
group that is pledged to a certain
candidate and we know that the
vote of that group will go to the
man of our choice. Because of
this faith, we popularity assume
that we vote for President. Tables
of popular vote, showing how
many Americans supported can
didates in the past, are secured
by adding together the total num-
Der of votes cast in the forty
eight states for groups of electors
pledged to support a specific cam
didate. ----.

Bearing in mind that the peo-
pie vote for delegates to the Elec-
toral College, and not for candi-
dates for TIE Presidency, one
should also remember that the
vote of a State in the Electoral
College is cast as a unit. If there
are three groups of candidates in
the field for the honor of being
electors, that group will win which
gets the highest vote, regardless
of the fact that the vote cast for
the other two groups when COM
bined may exceed the total cast
for the first group.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-09-28

With these preliminary re-
marks out of the way, let us ex-
anime the prospects of the candi-
didates in the Electoral College.
There are 531 votes, with 266
needed to win. The present out
look is that all of the votes of the
college will be cast for the candi-
dates of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties because none of
the other candidates have shown
sufficient strength to indicate
that their electors viii take the
lead in a single State. The ques-
ton then, so far as any individual
State is concerned, is whether the
highest vote will go to the electors
favoring President Roosevelt or
to those pledged to Gov. Landon.

The possibility exists of a
groundswell that will give one
candidate or the other ar over
whelming victory, although the
polls do not point that way. How
ever, since the Presidency is won
in the Electoral College, and not
by popular support without hav-
ing much show for it in electoral
votes. 1t is easily imaginable
that the race, so far as popular
voting goes, will be closer than
anyone expects but that the win
ner will have many more than the
266 votes that is needed in the
Electoral College.

COMEz'S CASE
CONCLUDED ON
SATURDAY NIGHT
DEFENDANT CHARGED WITH
ELECTION FRAUDS AcQUIT-
TED BY JURY AFTER FOUR
HOURS CELEBRATION
eve the jury find the de-
PENDANT Rogelio Gomez not
guilty as charged in the in
dietment, so say we all"

The verdict above was found by
the jury in the case of the State
VS.. Rogelio Gomez, ex-county
Judge of Monroe county, who was
on trial last week. charged with
election fraud on II counts, all
of which We're misdemeanors.
After the charge to the jury
Saturday afternoon the case went
to the jury about 4 o'clock and
the verdict was rendered five min
utes after 8 o'clock that night,
signed by ]. Frank Roberts, fore
man. Other members of the jury
were: Clyde NJ. Baker, Berlin A.
Sawyer, William R. Archer, ]. X.
Villareal and Felipe Marrero.
When the verdict was rendered
there was a crowded court room
awaiting. Immediately after the
verdict was read by Clerk c. Sam
B. Curry, Judge Dewell asked if
there were any other charges
against the defendant land reeeiv-
ing no reply ordered the case clos
ed and the defendant dismissed.
Makes Eloquent Appeal
In his summing up address TO
the jury, State Attorney George
A. Morley, who was des grated
to assist County Solicitor Allan
B. Cleare, made a most eloquent
appeal for conviction. He pointed
out the distinct evidence of fraud
which had been brought out on the
stand and told-the jHFy It's men,
bers could not sit supinely there
and permit this fraud which would
encourage others to do the same
as the evidence showed had been
done by the defendant.
During the course of his ad-
dress Mr.. Worley made it plain
that he believed a damnable out
rage had been committed by thiev-
ing politicians, and the people of
Monroe county were the suffer
ers.
Presents Ballots
While his summing up of the
evidence in the case was being
rendered, he presented a number
of envelopes which contained the
absentee ballots and asked the
jurors to examine them. 1t must
be plain to the eyes of the jury,
said the state attorney, that those
envelopes containing votes which
were legally east have been steam
ed open and the others have not
been tempered with.
Producing the tally sheets as
evidence of his contentious, Mr..
Worley said that these showed
that the defendant received al
most all of the absentee ballots.
: Those who were present in the
court room agreed that Mr.. Wor-
ley's summing up of the case was
eloquent and was a direct appeal
to the jury for a verdict of guilty
against the defendant.

With the Presidential election
a little more than month ahead
of us, the average American citi-
zen is, as usual, trying to guess
the returns. Everywhere one goes
there is speculation about the out
come of the voting, with in

mostly upon their hopes rather
than upon any basis of reason.

monopoly shall be eliminated and
that free enterprise shall be fully
restored and maintained.
Regulation of Business
We recognize the existence of a
field within which governmental
regulation is desirable and salu-
tory. The authority to regulate
should be vested in an independ-
ent tribunal acting under clear
and specific laws establishing de-
finite standards. Their determine
tions on law and facts should be
subject to review by the courts.
We favor federal regulation, with
in the Constitution, of the market
ing of securities to protect invest
ors. We favor also federal regu-
lation of the interstate activities
of public utilities.
Civil Service
Under the new deal official au-
thority has been given to inexper-
fenced and incompetent persons.
The civil service has been sacri-
feed to create national political
machine. AS result the federal
government has never presented
such a picture of confusion and in
efficiency.
We pledge ourselves to the mer-
it system, virtually destroyed by
new deal spoilsmen. 1t should be
restored, improved and extended.
We will provide such conditions
as offer an attractive permanent
career in government service to
young men and women of ability,
irrespective of party affiliations.
Federal Finance
The new deal administration has
been characterized by shameful
waste, and general financial ir-
responsibility. 1t has piled deficit
upon deficit. 1t threatens national
bankruptcy and the destruction
through initiation of insurance po-
licies and savings bank deposits.

Money, Banking
We advocate a sound currency
to be preserved at all hazards.
The first requisite to a sound

budget.
We oppose further devaluation
