POLITICAL PROPAGANDA

Editor, The Citizen:
Compliments, MIR. Harris. When
hear one boasting of his ances-
tors, l feel sure that that is all
they possess of which to boast.
In the morning paper I read the
speeches of Willkie and Roose-
velt. How Mr.. Roosevelt can
have the nerve to accuse Mr..
Willkie of using dictatorial pro-
paganda against him is wonder
to me when any intelligent per-
son (conceding that we all are, or
should be- can smell political
propaganda in every New Deal
statement whether via Mr. Roose-
velt's fireside chats or his multi
tude of political appointments
even the weekly farm hour.
True to the last word are the
statements of Willkie in New
York. Just before we left the
West for Key West an employe of
the A.A.A. agriculture Adjust
ment Act) drove, IS miles to our
log cabin in the mountains to see
me about improving our farm
mind you, our private property.
l was away that day so he plead
ed with Mrs. Dahle that if l
would build some new fence or
cross fence the government would
pay so and so, if I would improve
a spring would get SO much
($5000) repairing a fence, so
much for a new post and Csc for
resetting an old one. Mrs. Dahle
politely told him that we had
built our own fences and had
them in good state of repair
and had no more Improvements
to make. After their lunch he
and his lady friend departed to
look for more receptive material
my vote is still my own.
Comparatively few people in
Key West have any idea of the
sinister political tentacles that are
being woven around the Ameri-
can peoples under the guise of a
thousand and one social reforms,
some of which are unique for
their impractibility brilliant
ideas of some scatter-brained
college professors. Purchased
with your tax money and mine
One must get out of the demo-
cratic South to realize it. For the
good of our fair land this yawn-
ing, political monster that Farley
bequeathed us along with the
third term must be killed for
ever.
That is why I am Democrat
for Willkie.

Union To Hold
HaHOwe'en Party

Island City Union, made up of
young pepole of the three Key
West Methodist churches, have
planned an interesting round of
entertainment functions for the
new season now in full swing.
The first of the affairs is a
Halloween Party to be given in
Stone Church Annex tomorrow
night, starting at 7:30 o'clock.
Committee-in-charge has worked
out an interesting list of features
and all members of the group are
expected to be in attendance.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL
DRAWING CROWDS

Continued from Page One)
enough now, take into considera-
ton that of the memorials that
the park service keeps a check
on, the least popular was the
house where Lincoln died, only
about $4,000 persons visiting that
spot in the II months.
Gettysburg Tops
Of the military parks, battle
fields and cemeteries, Gettys-
burg was tops, with more than
half a million visitors, but the
supposedly much lesser known
Chickamauga-C Chattanooga battle
site was a respectively close sec
ond, with 416,774 visitors.
When anybody mentions ma
tional parks to me, l always think
of Yellowstone and Yosemite.
But they are only fourth and fifth
on the list respectively and less
! than half a million visitors. Shen-
andoah had nearly 777,00O; Great
Smoky Mountains had 745,O00;
Rocky Mountain National Park,
565, 900. The Grand Canyon was
well down the list. Only 328,307
persons stopped there.
Visiting all areas in the pc
riod checked by the park service
were about a million more per-
sons than last year, a fact attrib-
uted to the war, which not only
has stopped travel but has had
some bearing on South American
travel and travel to the Carib-
bean. The battle of the British
with the Graf Spec caused a kink
in South American travel and
rumors of submarine activity and
the presence of British and
French warships in the Caribbean
slowed things up there.
Mexican Travel Slips
The AAA says travel to Mexico
was booming for a time, but the
threat of a revolution as a result
of neither presidential candidates
willingness to concede he had
lost apparently caused a big
change in plans on this side of
the border. Travel in that direc-
ton had come almost to a stand
still at last report.
If you want a final puzzler.
take this one: Why did 1,500 tour
lists choose August to visit Death
Valley?

STRUNK SAYS NO
LUMBER SHORTAGE

There is no shortage of lumber
in Key West, according to the ,ad-
vertisement in today's paper by
Strunk Lumber Yard, No. z Wall
street, near Clyde Mallory Dock.
Not only is there plenty of
lumber but it can be obtained as
cheap here as lumber can be sold
under present conditions and this
statement is proven by the prices
printed in the advertisement.
Strunk offers to give immedi-
ate delivery on all materials list
ed, and carries a large stock of
all other materials.

PROPER SIGNALS

Continued from Page One)
ing three cars-their own, the
one behind them and the auto
approaching them. Thus anti
cipating the moves of fellow
motorists, one is in a better posi-
ton to know what to do with
their own car.
Proper hand signals given by
every man. woman or youth driv-
ing Florida highways would
enormously simplify this matter
of guessing what a drivers next
move is to be. I therefore urge
every automobile operator to
learn the correct signals and give
the proper one or every move
they make in driving their car,
Mr.. Hays emphasized
'The proper signal for right
turn is to extend the left arm and
hand from the left, front window
of the automobile and so bend ii
upward at the elbow that the
forearm and hand is vertical to
the arm: a left turn signal is
given with the left arm extended
full-length with no bend at the
elbow: the stop or slow signal is
to extend the left arm from the
window with a As degree slope to-
ward the ground.
Every motorist should learn
these simple signals SO well that
they become second nature
used consistently they will save
every driver time and money
every day, possibly even the life
of himself and his loved ones"

WOMEN'S VOTE
PUZZLES PARTIES

Continued from Page One)
shouldn't vote The other was
Indifference
COuntering this in more recent
years, however, is the fact that
such organizations as the Nation
al League of Women Voters are
steadily gaining in membership
and financial backing. Also it is
known that the more astute ma
tiOnal leaders frequently consult
the National League about ma
tional and international policy.
This reflects their belief that
women are sensitive barometers
of public opinion.
Taken altogether, these odds
and ends of information explain
why presidential contenders WOO
the wOmen's vote subtly, unob-
struSively, avoid stressing sex in
politics.
President Roosevelt has ap-
pointed women to high places in
his administration. Frances Perk-
inS is in his cabinet, Florence AL
len is on the federal court of ap-
peals bench. But he made no sex
distinction in his appointments,
and has similarly welcomed wom-
en- into platform-making in the
Democratic party without special
fanfare.
Willkie in his campaign tour
showed his respect for the wom-
ems vote by addressing a huge
meeting of women-but he didn't
make a habit of it. Not because
he'd lose male votes if he did. But
because he knows many women
object to special consideration in
politics.
Both candidates have stressed
their liberal tendencies, Willkie
by definite commitment, Roose-
welt by calling attention to the
New Deal social program.
Delicate in politics is the ques-
ton of wives. 1t is not merely by
chance that both Mrs. Roosevelt
and Mrs Willkie appear with
their husbands primarily in the
roles of dutiful wives in the hour
of struggle. That's traditional and
acceptable to all shades of voting
opinion in American politics.
II, for instance, Mrs. Roosevelt
took the stump, impartial opin-
ion suggests that she might both
win and lose votes for her huS-
band, confuse issues by her mere
presence on the lecture platform.
That is still precedent for the
wife of some future candidate to
break.
In short, the women's vote in
the coming election is the mys-
tery-and it is at least 10 million
votes. 1t is the subject of the
deepest consideration among the
party Strategists in all camps. II
has lot to do with what the can
didates say or do not say. And ii
will have plenty to do with the
winner. 1t might even be the
pendulum in a landslide.
