DIRECT VOTE FOR DELEGATES

Last January Chairman Turnbull of
the State Democratic Executive Committee
sponsored a resolution providing for the
selection of delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, to be made by the
committee, and not allow the people of
Florida to vote on this important matter.
Tyn Cobb, Jr., member from Orange
County, fought this resolution on the floor
of the meeting, and later gave state
ment to the newspapers that was carried
over the state by the Associated Press.
Nearly all the editors of Florida took it up
and agreed with Cobb, and later Mr..
Turnbull said he would drop the matter,
if Cobb would
Lately Mr.. Turnbull has made several
statements and they have been carried to
state papers by the Associated Press, to
the effect that the law gives the state COM
mittee the right to name such delegates,
and also the choice of holding a pref
erential primary This past week he has
even had Attorney General Couper Gibbs
give an opinion on the matter in agree
ment with him.
For many years the voters of Florida
have elected their delegates, and voted
their choice in preferential primaries, so
why not continue this? If the chairman is
going to allow the people to vote, then
why does he keep making statements to the
effect that the committee can take this
right away from them?
Unless the voters are aroused and
make it a point to urge members of the
state committee to let them vote for their
delegates, they might wake up after
January II and find that the state COM
mittee has disfranchised them.

PATCH UP PAVEMENT

Visitors who were in Key West last
That Duval Street was poorly lighted at
night and that there were no recreation
spots where they might enjoy our un-
matched climate.
Those two situations have been rene
died. Duval Street white lights have been
the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Key
West Lions Club. Many businessmen con-
tributed tC the lighting fund. Recreational
facilities have been increased. South Beach
has been restored largely through the eff
forts expended by the Key West Hotel and
Tourist Homes Association. City Council
aided along this line by getting the CO.
operation of the County Commission to
share the expense of lighting the shuttle
board courts at County Courthouse.
Now a new complaint has arisen
among our visitors They find it difficult
to ride their bicycles on some streets be-
cause of the ruts and holes In this direc-
tion they are joined by our residents, men,
women and children On some streets it is
virtually impossible to enjoy a bicycle
ride. There are holes big enough to bury
dead dog in many thoroughfares. The
conditions along such streets as Eaton,
United and Simonton are evidence of this
complaint.
AS we recall past events, it occurs to
The Citizen that one or two of our civic
organizations some time ago promised
some action toward repair of our streets.
A few of the councilmen were elected on
platform which carried better highway
plank. They deplored the conditions then.
The conditions have not improved. The
old ruts and holes in the streets are getting
deeper, more dangerous.
The Citizen believes the City Council
and the Board of Public Works should do
something at this time to make temporary
repairs to the pavement where they are
most urgent. This is hardly the time of
year for major street improvements. Those
can wait until after the tourist season
when fewer will be inconvenienced by
torn up streets. What is now needed is
some concrete or asphalt fill in the holes
and ruts. Bicycling is form of recrea-
ton that many visitors enjoy. Let's make
it pleasanter to ride bicycles in Key West.

TRADE AGREEMENTS

Editor, The Citizen:
Experience with reciprocal
trade agreements to date shows
no such dire results as predicted
by opponents, but, on the con-
trary, beneficial increases in our
foreign trade-increases which
would have been even greater
had normal international COM
merce not been interrupted by
the war.
Never before in our history
have tariffs been fixed with such
careful attention to the interests
of protected industries, export
industries and the general con-
Stunning public. Exhaustive in
terdepartmental and Tariff Com
mission studies have replaced
Congressional tariff log-rolling.
Failure to renew the trade
agreements act, or weakening it
in any way-as by giving the
Senate a veto over the agree
ments-would be long step
backward. This would be most
unfortunate at a time when the
United States is trying both to
improve business relations with
South America and to persuade
European nations to abandon
their suicidal warfare in favor of
peaceful and prosperous COM
merce-which is possible only if
these nations follow our example,
and either form tariff-free
United States of Europe, or else
enter extensively into reciprocal
trade agreements with each 9TH
er to eliminate their business
Sitting. hate-engendering trade
barriers.
In our trade agreements we
have set a good example for the
rest of the wcrld-and not with
out profit to ourselves. What
sound reason is there for new
emasculating them or giving
them up?
Yours very truly,
ROBERT S. FIELD.

Dear Sir:
Well here 1 am in the old home

form you about the weather here,
but, oh what a change it is from
the unequalled climate of dear
old Key West and l regret very
much that / am not there now
but business compels me to re-
main here.
They talk about Chicago being
the Windy City. 1t has nothing
on New York, and a cold wind
at that. My friends say to me,
Don't you wish you were in Key
| west now!
Well, MIR. Artman, l hope you
are well and that business is
good. l sincerely hope the day
will come when northern capital
will start something in your city
soon, and make it an all-year re-
sort.
1t has been said to me that il
must be very hot down there.

with the heat in New York than
they would ever do in Key West
They do not know. Only those
who have been there.
