WITHDRAWS FROM
COMING CONTEST
WILL NOT MAKE RACE FOR
COMMISSIONER IN SECOND
PRIMARY AGAINST T. JEN-
KINS CURRY

Cleveland Niles, who made the
race in the First Primary for re-
election as County Commissioner
from the Fifth District against
three opponents, with T. Jenkins
Curry being high man, followed
by Niles, both of whom were
scheduled for a run-off in the
Second Primary, has withdrawn
from the race, and makes this an
nouncement in the following
statement, which is self-explana-
tory:
To the Citizens of Monroe
County:
l wish to first take this oppor-
tunity to thank my many friends
and supporters in Monroe County
for their earnest cooperation and
assistance in my recent campaign.
! appreciate everything that was
done for me and l will always be
grateful for their friendship.
4 have given the matter of max
ling the race in the second pri-
mary for County Commissioner
serious consideration. l believe
each citizen of Monroe County is
fully aware of my past activities
as County Commissioner and dur
ing my term of office, if you will
recall, l voted and tried to divide
Monroe County into districts so
that those citizens living upon the
Keys lying North of Key West
would receive representation and
would have the privilege of elect
ing representative from their
own area to assist in their needs.
We are all aware of the fact
that prior to the completion of
the Overseas Highway those citi-
zens living upon the upper end
of the Keys were more or less iso-
lated from Key West, but now
that the Overseas Highway has
joined Monroe County together
again, the interests of all citizens
of Monroe County should now be
centralized and every effort put
forward for greater cooperation
of all of Monroe County. / feel,
as | have felt all along, that the
best interests of Monroe County
will be served by my withdrawal
as a candidate for County Com
missioner, thereby permitting my
opponent. Mr.. Jenkins Curry, a
man for whom / have the highest
regard, to be elected as County
Commissioner, thereby insuring
those people among the Keys, as
well as the people residing in the
City of Key West, representation
upon the new Board of County
Commissioners. I feel that sacri-
fees must be made by some of
us who have been citizens of this
community for a great number of
years in order that a greater spirit
Of cooperation and a more friend
ly feeling be definitely establish
ed in this community. While il
is with a great deal of regret that
announce this, my withdrawal
as a candidate for County Com
missioner, vet l firmly believe
and feel that in my doing SO
have served my community and
have done my part in the reestab-
