MAYOR-ELECT CAIN re-
AVA Gently observed that Ia
coma needed above az else an
auditorium to house conven-
tions, entertainments and ex-
positions. He is right. The
need is a long felt one. The
handicap imposed because of
its lack has been serious. Not
only is an adequate audi
forum needed for statewide
events, but for local affairs
rs well.
Every progressive city up
and down the coast has an
auditorium. We trust when
he goes into office, Cain will
be able to put in motion ma
chinery that will result in con-
structing in the near future
a suitable auditorium. FL
nancing is the biggest prob
lem, but it is not an insuper-
able obstacle.
GUNNER is fast approach
~ ing and yet there is no
action in getting those unused
street car rails removed. Ne
gotiations are under way, but
they seem to drag intermin-
ably. 1t was the city under
standing the TRIP would re-
move the rails and bids by
private contractors for the
task have been submitted to
the TRIP. However, the
awards have not yet been
made. The task of filling in
the streets after the rails are
torn out il a considerable one.
1t would be unfortunate il
matters continued to drag SO
that our thoroughfares would
be torn up all summer, much
to the discomfort of tourists
and our own residents. Ac-
ton is needed, and now.

week OF July 18th. That is the time for weghty
final decisions to be made. 1t is all tied in with the Pres
dents strategy for the approaching campaign and what
he will do about running for third term.
This is discussed and accepted in confidential
circles the program which the Democrats will follow in
Chicago After the Convention has convened and adopt
ed platform. President Roosevelt will be nominated
the party candidate for the Presidency The Convention
will then until the following day During this time
President Roosevelt will meet with the party leaders and
lis candidates for the Presidency and the Vice
Presidency IF the leaders of the party will agree to
nominate then when the Convention the next
day, Mr.. Roosevelt will decline the nomination rendered
him. Il the Convention will not agree to nominate the
Presidents selection, then he will accept the nomination
for himself and go after the third term.
That the President has 'her apparent" or rather
preferred" is definitely understood among his conf
