FILE APPEAL in
CASE OF CRAICS
DEALS WITH RECENT TRIAL
HERE IN CIRCUIT
COURT

Attorneys for c. L. Craig and
his wife, Grace Craig, yesterday
filed with Ross c. Sawyer, clerk
of the circuit court, an appeal in
the case of the ejectment suit
which was decided in Key West
last Friday, when after having
the case before them for two days,
a jury brought in verdict for
the plaintiff, Dodderidge Russell.
The verdict also carried damages
of $2,34O.
Immediately after the jury
brought in the verdict which was
at 7:30 o'clock in the evening,
Bob Lane, one of the attorneys in
the Craig side of the issue, an
nounced to Judge Arthur Gomez,
who was presiding, that an ap-
peal of the case was to be made
and asked the court to grant the
necessary time for preparing the
appeal.
This the court allowed, and two
days later went to Miami to pre-
side at a session of the court in
Miami. Immediately after the
appeal was filed yesterday in the
afternoon the papers were sent
by Mr.. Sawyer to Judge Gomez
in Miami.

Times Change AtKeyiWest

Judge Wards impression that
things look remarkably good for
his state senatorial candidacy in
Key West will perhaps bring a
smile to seasonal politicians in
these parts. They will recall that
they have heard all that before.
Every four years mainland cam
didates for state senator go down
there to look the situation over
and come back reporting every
thing is fine, only to learn, after
all other returns are in on cleo
ton night, that they got 90 votes,
or as many as they didn't need, in
Monroe county.
This has happened so regularly
in the last so years that people
around here don't believe what
they hear from Key West, in
Guiding those belated returns.
Nevertheless, both then and now,
the tidings have quite likely been
true, including said returns. When
our candidates go down there
and find things are all right, that
is the way they are. The trouble
is that something has always hap
pened a couple of days before
election-or perchance a couple of
hours after the polls closed-to
make our candidates howl of
fraud and complain of deception.
This paper has frequently echo
ed those cries but on second
thought we have usually doubted
that they have the validity which
it is SO easy to aScribe. 1t seems
strange that a good candidate,
meeting with a cordial reception
and with apparently authentic
pledges of support, should find
practically no evidence of all that
when the votes arc counted. The
natural assumption is that he has
been basely deceived or grossly
defrauded and that is the notion
we have up here of politics in
Key West.
But that could be wrong and
probably is. for a reason which
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-04-26

anybody acquainted down there
will readily concede. The reason
is that the people of Key West
are the friendliest folk in the
world. Anyone coming to see
them, on business, pleasure or
politics, is greeted with the
warmeSt hospitality and made an
honored guest. They want you to
come out to their homes, to sit
and visit in their offices, to meet
their friends. They are in every
respect just as nice as they can
be and they are utterly sincere
about it, too.
They are no less sincere when
they listen to the visiting candi-
date, agree with his views and
volunteer their support. They
aren't conscious of deceiving any
body; they actually mean tat
the time, If they could cast their
votes that day it would come out
as our candidates expect. But al
ways-in those last few fatal
days before election-something
has happened to make them
change their intentions and they
do it just as honestly as they
made up their minds in the first
place. What happens is that they
are told by their leaders-also in
the main sincere-that while the
mainland candidate is d good fell
low and all that, still there are
compelling local reasons why Key
West should retain the senator
ship and it would be better if they
all vote that way.
So they do. and that accounts
for the lopsided returns. OF
course. it may occasionally be
true that some didn't get the
word in time, making it necessary
to continue enlightenment while
counting the ballots There has
been some evidence of that but
when all is said and done it is to

enlightening talks from Dave

candidacy for U. S. senator. and
Dwight L. Rogers. candidate for

Preceded by a well-received
concert by the Key West Hospl-
tality Band, conducted by PROBES

was opened by DIR. VIM. r. War

ed talk on aspirants for office, ac-
companied by caustic and force
full remarks concerning candi-
dates, who were not named, but
who have demonstrated their un-
fitness for office.
The doctor ended his talk by
introducing Dave Sholtz, former
governor of Florida, and now a
candidate for United States Sen

Mr.. Sholtz was happily receiv-
ed. He talked for more than one
hour, devoting a great deal Of his
time TO a resume of his accom-
plishments for Florida during his
term of office as governor. He
assured the people that he could
accomplish the same for Florida,

IMPUDENT SUGGESTING
(FrOm California Oil Worker,
Long Beach,

Lewis Gilbert, a minority stock
holder of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, put Charlie Schwab on a hot
spot at the annual meeting held at
Wilmington, Delaware, recently. Mr..
Gilbert fearlessly approached the
mighty steel master and suggested
that Mr.. Schwab. who has amassed an
immense fortune and word-fame as
the first big executive to receive a
salary of $1,C00,000 year, serve with
out pay during the depression, Charlie
grew splutteringly indignant and
squelched all the dissenters.
Here is a new idea and it will doubt
less embarass many stuffed shirts in
the days to come. Some people who
like the idea of wage reductions have
never before been told a good place to
start the slash would be on all sal
aries over $4,000 a year. Voluntary
action of that sort would indicate good
faith in the movement. Hundred
thousand dollar men feel the pinch of
poverty if they are reduced dime be-
low that figure, if one may judge from
their actions.

RAILROAD UNIONS SEEK
INVESTIGATION OF ICt

Washington, d. C. 0LNS).-The
Railway Labor Executives Associa-
ton will demand that the investiga-
tion of railroads now being conducted
by the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee shall be continued, and eX-
tended to cover the lCC. The resolu-
tion to make this demand passed the
meeting of the Association practically
without opposition.
George M. Harrison, chairman OF
the Association, explained the demand
thus:
"We are of the opinion that the
commission has not properly dis
charged it's function under the law
because much of the difficulties of the
railroads today are due to their un.
sound and indefensible capital struc.
lures.
"Since 1920, no railroad could issue
stocks or bonds without the approva
of the ICC. This was to protect the
public against the floating of worth
less securities.
Gone third of the railroads are il
bankruptcy today, which shows that
the public was not protected"
At the same meeting, +. H. FL jozdal
president of the Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way Employees, revealed
that his organization furnished mos
of the $4,000 railroad workers wht
earned less than $73 month in 1887
