The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-04-30

maker, was a business man and
a doer instead of talker.
Although claiming not to be a
speaker, his talk held the atten-
ton of the audience until the last
word was spoken. The speaker
gave a brief sketch outlining the
major items in his life in Key
West from birth to the present,
a record of which any Key West
er should be proud, and believed
that he could accomplish a great
deal for the people of the city if
sent as representative, and asked
the consideration of the voters.
Caro- Gives Talk
Next to be presented was At
torney T. S. Caro-, another of the
candidates for the Florida Legis-
lature, who occupied more than
half hour in outlining his plans
in the event of his election, and a
summary of the assistance, with
out remuneration, he had been to
both the fishing and sponging in
dustries of Monroe county.
He recounted some of the
things which had been done in
the past by representatives,
which were probably we'll meant
when passed, but which proved
to be disastrous when the, were
brought in to existence. These
measures, which were no doubt
passed under a misapprehensioh
on part of the proposerS, he would
do his best to correct. and be-
lieved he could bring about 9TH
er changes which would be of
great benefit to the county.
PapY Then Heard
Bernie c. Papy was then heard.
Mr. Papy is asking for reelection,
and to furnish grounds which
warrants his asking the voters to
send him back for another term,
gave an excellent resume of his
activities and offered a number
of statements in rebuttal of state
ments which have described his
actions as being futile, along the
lines of betterment for his consti-
tuentS.
The speaker took criticism
which was recently published, in
The Citizen captioned Political
Periscope", and item by item read
the full text of the critical APP
praisal of his activities and read
lily answered the charges giving
full explanation of which had
been made.

the Key section of the county had
selected him to represent them,

the Keys who had been selected
as a candidate.
Last night he reiterated this
statement, and briefly outlined a
history of his life. His setbacks
and accomplishments, as citizen
of Monroe county, were told in a
straightforward manner which
was interesting in the extreme,
and was heard with the greatest
attention. Mr.. Curry spoke hur-
riedly, because of the late hour at
which he started, and stated that
there was great deal more that
he could say, but out of consid-
Grafton of the public he would
bring his remarks to a close and
again asked remembrance at the
polls on Tuesday.

liver an address.
