At a brief session of Criminal
Court this morning with Judge
William ". Albury presiding and
all officers present, the case of

Some time ago Angel became
peeved and began to destroy Nit
tie Torres wearing apparel. She
has him. arrested and he was
bound over in the sum of $50 fol
his appearance in court.
Judge Albury took the matter
under consideration and decided
it would be a good thing to have
this couple separated. This would
keep them out of court, where
they have been a number of times.
and save the county a lot of use
less expenditure.
He sentenced Angel to pay a
fine of $40 or spend Is days in
Jail. or in lieu of this, buy Mite
q ticket on the bus Thursday morn
ing and send her out with the I'M
derstanding she is not to return.
To this Angel agreed.
An attorney for Lorenzo Garcia
addressed the court and entered a
plea to have the sentence recent
ly imposed on Garcia RENTED.
Judge Albury advised that Garcia
had been tried on two charges,
that he had been sentenced on one
of them and the other sentence
was suspended. That he, the
judge, could not change the
courts decision.
On representation of County
Solicitor Allan B. Cleare, Jr., the
charges against John T. West, IT.,
were mol pressed. West was charg-
ed with driving an automobile
while under the influence of liq-
Ior. Solicitor Cleare pointed out
that the costs of the case, amount
ing to $85.48, he'd been paid by
the defendant. Judge Albury
agreed to the motion.
No other business coming be-
fore the court, a recess was called
until this afternoon when it would
be decided whether or not jury
was to be summoned.

So while Democrats renewed
and strengthened their grip upon
the governments. state and ma
tional, they should not mistakenly
assume that the Republican party
is dead, or even fatally wounded
1t will live and, in time, come
back to power unless Democrats
prove far wiser in the future
than any party has been in the
past. Governor Landon had the
support of millions of cOnscien-
tious and loyal Americans, who
honestly believe that the President
should have been defeated, that
his policies are wrong and that
the welfare Of our country de-
mands a return to other methods.
More than one-third of the voters
are against the New Deal and,
while the list includes some sore
heads and selfish opponents. the
great bulk are just as patriotic
and just as good citizens as one
will find in the ranks of the New
Dealers.

STEAMER CUBA
HAS ACCIDENT
WILL ARRIVE LATE THIS EVE
MING DUE TO COLLISION
IN HAVANA HARBOR

Steamship Cuba, of the P. and
o. S. S. company, which was in an
accident in Havana harbor, having
collided with another vessel, was
detained because of the accident
and did not leave Havana until
$50 o'clock this afternoon.
/ If the injuries sustained do not
deter the vessels progress, the
S. S. Cuba should reach port about
$50 o'clock this evening.
However, it was learned at the
office of the company that no adj
vices have been received as to the
extent of the damages, and it may
be that the vessels arrival will be
delayed somewhat.

KEY WEST Is REPRESENTED TO BE AN
Uniqueness Described In Article By Winter Visitor

communication by automobile with
the mainland and will "steer to-
ward it that portion Of the WIN
ter's travel public that is inclined
to go anywhere so long as it does
not have to remove its foot from
the accelerator."
The writer is of the opinion that
with the rehabilitation of the
city, "Key West will undoubtedly
become familiar ground to many
who have regarded it as a forlorn
outpost, and in the process of be-
coming progressive and popular, it
will Individually cease to be Key

"For the town that sits down
on Uncle Sans toe-point, serving
as a last dixie between the Gulf
and the Atlantic, is not Florida,
and not Cuba, either, though of its
10000 inhabitants, Cubans are the
largest single group. You might
like Miami and like Key West, al
so, but it is altogether certain that
if the pace of Miami satisfies per-
fectly, you would be distressed by
Key West as it is today, and as it
is not likely to be a great deal
longer"

"The Island key West) is the
only spot in our land that has no
'mustness' in its philosophy. For
those who like warmth and laZi-
ness, who feel that they have a
right to parade down the main
pike in rompers, coveralls or rags,
who resent the pressure of mod

generating their own excitement
rather than purchasing it at a

has an irresistible charm. In this
too busy country there is none 9TH

to the charges hurled against the
President during the four months
of political campaigning. They
have cast aside the attacks of Re-

Of the leaders of the climatic

have underwritten and endorsed
the entire program of President
Roosevelt, they have overwhelm-

they have given him instructions
to march on with what he calls
the New Deal.

In Congress the Presidents
party finds itself stronger than
ever, which is remarkable il one
views the situation. After the
1882 elections there were few to
believe that the Congressional
elections of 1884 could show any
thing but a loss of Democratic
seats in the House, already top
heavy, and yet the Democrats
gained new seats. In the recent
election. there were few. to be-
lieve that the Republicans could
fail to gain seats in the House
and many predicted Democratic
loss of from fifty to seventy men,
bers and, yet. the Democrats
have scored another gain in men,
bership. In fact, both Senate and
House are so overwhelmingly
that no effective opposition can
be counted upon from the out
numbered Republicans.

The writer's surprise comes
solely from the astonishing depth
of the tidal wave that swept the
nation. In our personal election
prediction readers will recall that
we gave the President more
than 400 electoral college votes"
and declared that ''his popular
vote will amaze those who have
predicted a close election" We
guessed it would ''hover around
100000" and, in fact. it hover
ed around 100000 but we are
among the few forecasters TO
fofeseet the huge popular approval
that the President won. Most ex-
perts were calling his election
many were giving him a big cleo
toral college vote, but nearly all
agreed that the popular vote would
be close and that the Democrats
would lose heavily in the House
of Representatives.

was absurdly simple. 1t was the
administration of the President
Attacked on many fronts, assailed
on many grounds and, unfortu-
nately, bitterly denounced, politi-
cally and personally, by many
speakers, Franklin Delano Roose-
vcst was lifted to new heights and
set on a higher pedestal by the
sovereign voters of the United
States. 1t is nothing short of
amazing when one considers the
forces lined-up in militant opposi-

There is really one outstanding
result of the election-the faith
of the mass of American citizens
in the President personally. By
an amazing majority the people

leadership and they believe in his

polls demonstrates this more i'm

position that he faced: disgruntled
business leaders, industrialists and
financiers; about three-fourths of
the press of the land; boilers from
