BY OBSERVER

The people of Monroe county
are taking a rather deep interest
in the congressional campaign.
They have seen and met at least
four of the candidates, H. II. Fill
er, Miami; Dwight Rogers, Fl.
Lauderdale; Mayor Robert r..
Williams of Miami, and Lewis E.
Moore, also of Fl. Lauderdale.
At the moment of writing, Fill
er seems to have considerable
support. He was born in Key
West and Key Westers usually
are receptive to their native sons.
However, Filler has not been a
resident of Key West for years
and many local voters do not
know him. In some quarters this
fact does not seem to make much
difference. His nativity, there
fore. assures him of a degree of
backing.
Filler has some strong opposi-
ton. His opponents are not over
looking any opportunity of break
ing down the feeling of loyalty to
a native son. At opportune
times these enemies are recalling
to old residents that Filler headed.

Edward Robinson is in the
county Jail of Monroe, awaiting
trial in criminal court on a charge
of recklessly driving an automo-
bile on the Overseas Highway.
The offender came under the
watchful eyes of Deputy Saeviff
Rex Mcleod, recently appointed
by Sheriff K, o. Thompson. who
placed him under arrest and took
him before Judge E. r. Lowe, at
Tavernier.
After he had heard the evil
dence in the matter, the judge
announced his finding sufficient
cause for holding the accused for
trial and ordered him held under
bond of $50 for his appearance at
the next term of criminal court.
The accused was brought TO the
city by Deputy Mcleod and plac-
ed in the county Jail.

friends and contacted a number
of influential residents, Williams
stated he would carry Dadnn coun-
ty and said he needed only4a part
of the Monroe county vote to

northern end of the district.

The dark horse in the Monroe
county heat of the congressional
race appears to be Dwight Rogers
of Fl. Lauderdale. AS member
of the state legislature, Rogers
truthfully proclaims he is the
father of the Florida Homestead
Exemption Act, giving house
holders a $4,000 exemption on
their properties. This fact is hav-
ing its effect among the rank and
file of voters throughout the
county. Those Rogers has con-
tacted here and further up the
Keys report they have, been inn
pressed by Rogers SINCERITY of
pnrppseI and his past record of
achievement
None of the other candidates
seems to stand much chance of
polling any substantial vote IN
this county. Lewis T. Moore is
picking up a few votes and may
increase his strength as the cam
paign develops.
While some concede Filler will
receive q plurality vote in Mon
roe and that Rogers will run a
close second. there are signs on
the horizon indicating that Rog-
ers is steadily gaining strength.
II would be foolish at this time TO
state Rogers will receive a larger
vote than Filler. bat il does not
appear 20 be beyond the range Of
possibility.

Decision of Judge Arthur

interest among the citizens as
well as official circles.

Immediately aamovement was
started to do one of two things.
Enact another ordinance or carry
the matter to the supreme court
of Florida.
There are certain interested
persons who believe that the for
nation of a new ordinance cover
ing the question in detail will be
effective, and others who are of
the opinion that it will be adviS-
able to carry the matter to the
supreme court.
Up to this afternoon it was said
that no decisive line of action
had been decided upon, but there
was a possibility of the case being
carried to the supreme court, and
Mayor Willard M. Albury told
The Citizen that he had learned
that Robert Lewis, one of the
partners to whom the city had
granted the right to handle the
trash and garbage situation, in
