KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

"Will you be a candidate for
election next year," The Citizen
asked Congressman Joe Sears to-
day. ":The fishing around Key
West is certainly the finest in the
WORLD the congressman REPLIED
'sCould AL Smith be elected" was
the next question to which Mr..
Sears said, Il never believed half
the STORES about catching fish in
Kew West until | went out yes
terday and saw for myself just
what can be DONE" He was then
asked if the Democrats would
"run a wet, a damp or a dry for
president" and his informative
reply was would you believe it
we caught more than 60 fish yes
terday, and there were exactly IL
varieties in the bunch" Mr.. Sears
then said that he came here for a
vacation and not to discuss poll
teal situations or possibilities.
Rogelio Zayas Bazan, secretary
of the interior of Cuba, who pass
ed through Key West this morn
ing says hundreds of Georgians
are talking about the Overseas
Highway and are planning to come
to Key West when the road is
completed. Mr.. Bazan was en-
route from Atlanta to Havana.
He had been in the Georgia city
to have his son ROgeliO, Jr., enter
the Georgia Military Academy.
What he heard in the Georgia
metropolis makes him all the
more certain that the road to the
mainland is going to be one of the
greatest attractions Florida has
ever offered tourists. When he
was in Key West en- route north
Mr.. Bazan made essentially the
same statement when he said that
the completed road will prove to
be almost as big a boon to Cuba
as it will be to Key West. His
observations in Georgia, only con-
firms his opinion, he said.
