tomorrow morning upwards OF 100
Key West public and civic officials and
volunteers will breakfast together at st.
fort in the "Put Key West Ahead" cam
paign of the Chamber of Commerce.
The purposes Of the campaign and
the necessity for Capitalization of effort in
developing Key West have been pretty
thoroughly outlined by Chamber of Com
merce officials and Larry Vaughn, direc-
tor of the drive
Everywhere the Chambers tentative
program of civic activities has been out
lined and considered it has received the
endorsement of Influential individuals and
groups. There is general agreement that
the program, perhaps broadened to meet
new suggestions that have been advanced
by interested citizens and organizations,
should occupy large part of Key Vests
concerted attention for the next few years.
Tomorrow is the dO-something- about
it day. Constructive talk, general agree
ment on a program and a desire for force
full effort by a strong Chamber of Com
MERGE are mol enough "A SCIOIS CHdIIIUSI
of Commerce must be built That takes eff
fort and some cash. No businessman, no
professional man, no public-spirited citizen
can expect to go on taking share of Key
Vests prosperity without investing some
of it, blowing back a little of his income,
into the community that supports him and
his activity. Key West represents an in
vestment estimated by Chamber officials
at around $25,O0O,OOO. The protection of
that investment, the welfare of the city
and it's citizens and the future of Key West
are worth all the time, effort and cash
can put into it.
The Citizen has been happy to give its
columns to the support of this campaign.
The Citizen expects to go on supporting all
similar constructive efforts in the future.
This support by The Citizen comes from
the selfish wish that Key West may grow
and prosper in order that it may grow and
prosper. If Key West does not grow and
prosper, The Citizen cannot grow and
prosper.
So it is with all of businessmen,
workers, investors and retired citizens If
this community falls down on this COM
munity compaign, the "Put Key West
Ahead" campaign, we'll all fall down.
None of us can go ahead alone We need
the company and support of our fellow
citizens.
NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SOME
THING To REALLY PITT KEY WEST
AHEAD.

1t was recently pointed out that
this is one of the extremely few
general election years since the
Civil War in which the public
hasn't had a pretty sound idea of
who the Presidential candidates
would be. Generally, the coun-
try has known long in advance
who was going to be battling for
the White House-the nomina-
tons of Hoover, Wilson, Hughes,
Franklin Roosevelt, Al Smith,
ETC., were practically dead GER
tainties many months before the
conventions were called to order.
Single recent exception to this
rule was when dark horses Cox
and Harding opposed each other.
The rumor always goes around
about this time that some vague
and immensely powerful polit-
zeal bosses have the key to the
puzzle, and will put their candi-
dates over with ease and dispatch
when the time comes. But if that
! is so, every political observer in
the country has been fooled. Both
parties are divided within them
selves to an abnormal degree.
and the ranks of both are alive
with self-starters, favorite sons
and others who are simply Itch
ing to take the oath of office from
Chief Justice Hughes next year.
Starting out with the party in
power, everything hinges on what
the President will do. If he wants
the nomination, it is hard to see
how he can be kept from getting
it, despite the growing disaffec-
ton of many prominent Demo-
Gratis in public office. Working
on the assumption, which many
do, that the President does not
plan to run again. and is keeping
silent only because he wants to
keep his party under control, the
outlook for the Democrats pro-
ducing a solidly backed candidate
is not bright. The McNutt can
didacy seems to have blown up.
Garner could carry the Solid
South and would get considerable
conservative support, but he is
not warmly regarded by the
strong New Dealers. There was
considerable talk about the pos
sibility of running Robert jack
son some time back, but he does
not seem to have attracted any
considerable public following.
Frank Murphy, who used to be
talked about also, is on the SUI
preme Court and out of active

Larrie Lou, Larrie Lou,
Kiddy verse all for you!
I'm SO glad you're not sitter
You skip and bounce and utter,
You run fast. dear Larrie Lou,
Like the northern caribou.
Like a Key West bird you chitter,
Sweetly sing and twitter.
With your playmates you're not
bitter,
You are gay and laugh and litter.
When at home, when at school,
Always learn yourself to rule.
Don't be a ritter,
Rather a knitter;
Make yourself filter,
Be a sweet critter.
When you grow older, full of
great knowledge
With goodness and grace, then
you will glitter.
Some Fairy Prince, o Larrie Lou,
A Charming Prince will marry
you.
When you 60 homeward, don't be
a gutter
Next year come back to breezy
Key West.
Guess I'm too long;-I'll give you
a rest;
So I'll shut up, or you'll tearfully
pitter.
Blonde, bye-bye;
There's joy in your eye
Now mirthfully sing and fairy
like Utter.

THE KAISER'S SUGGESTION

The former Kaiser, now in exile in
the Netherlands, suggests that Germany
and Great Britain and France make peace
in order to join in a concerted warfare up
on the Reds
The lack of faith in the purposes and
pledged word of Hitler represents the
great barrier to negotiated peace and
practically makes this impossible until the
German Government is controlled by of
ficials in whose word there can be reliance.

"TO A CONCH"
BY Art. ESPINoLA

My little friend,
You are so much
Like some one l used
To know;
You, with your rough
Exterior,
Remind me of him who
Left us
Not long ago.
He, too, was modest,
And, like you,
Who doesn't care
The better points
To show,
Would hide his pearl
In the deepest corner
OF his soul,
Away from the reach
Of friend or foe.
King of the deep,
l acclaim you,
For in your simplicity
There is grandeur.
Your home you build
With the greatest
OF care
A lesson to us,
my friend;
Simple, yes, but pure.

HEALTH ASSOCIATION GROWTH
To the Editor:

TO the d1tOr:
One of the frequently menti oned Greenbelt achiev-
ments for 1899 is the sterilization of the Health
Association. We point with pride to the fact that
there we're three hundred members at the end of
the year, as contrasted to the hundred members
at the beginning. We fail to remember that there
we're no members before April 1898, and that those
that still members by January 1899 had passed
stiff trial period. We do not appreciate that ap-
proxiHately ten per cent of the town family heads
we're neither too bull-headed to admit defeat, or
1dealists who still had hope that somewhere doctors
night be found wi IT, faith and vision to match their
own. Those of US who favored cooperative medical
plan in January 1898 have not forgotten the tier
disputes that split the town, the dtsappoinments
that mounted one upon another throughout the ensuing
year. The miracle is that there hundred
member families at the beginning of 1899, not that
there were three hundred at the end.

Of course all poor folks here in this fair

hard to believe that Uncle Sam would spend about
$4,000 each to get the most of these 900 families
"out of the s1wns". Maybe you right, anyway
will "stay off the grass" But brother if you think
this Is poor manis town how about ha ng to pay
the astounding OF $500 for the privilege to
operate $4,000 automobile the first year, and
