FACTS PRESENTED
in STORY CITING
CONSTABLE CASE
NOTHING MENTIONED IN
ARTICLE IN NATURE OF
ATTACK: SIMPLY PRESENT
ED FACTS ON LAW

No other people in all the
world get more satisfaction thar
do Key Westers out of keeping
the records straight, so when an
out-of-town paper said today
that The Citizen attacked the
announced intention" of the
Monroe County Democratic Com
mittee about nominating a man
for constable, the record is not
by any means straight.
Not single word of attack
against the committee was made
by The Citizen; neither did The
Citizen advocate the holding of
the primary; all it did was to
caution the committee to act in
accordance with the law so that
there would not be any bungling.
Here are two paragraphs from
The Citizens story:
'The Citizen received The AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch telling
about the resignation at 5 o'clock
Friday afternoon, too late for that
days issue In The Citizens of
flee Saturday morning regret was
expressed that the resignation
was not held up a few days long
er SO that there would not be any
necessity of holding a primary,
with the general election little
more than a month away.
"A primary at this time would
be unfortunate, but bungling
would be still more unfortunate.
The Citizen feels just as strongly
against holding primary as do
the men in the county court
house, and we believe the latter
feel just the same as The Citizen
does: that it is precarious to
monkey with the law, and that
when a thing is to be done it
should be done rightly.
Finally, Bienvenido Perez re-
signation was accepted by the
governor on October 2, not Octo-
Der 3, as was said in the out-of-
town paper, and from October 2
the date the resignation was &C
copied a vacancy was created
to November 8, 81 days will have
elapsed, and the law reads plain
Iy: sc. less than 80 days before
election day..
If the vacancy is less than sc
days. the committee has the au-
thority to name nominee; II
not less than 80, primary must
be held, according to the law
They were the points brought
out by The Citizens story, and
nobody and no committee was
attacked.
Those are the facts. and they
keep the record straight.

Another drive for a roundup

nine. From the lead it can rea-
senably be inferred that North
lacks the other high honor, the
queen. His normal play will
then be to take a finesse of the
nine, and as it happens, this will
drive out Vests queen, leaving
dummy with a major tenace
over East.
BY playing the king, East
forces the declarer to guess how
to play the suit. The finesse
against the 10, which East
knows will win, is shut out. In
stead, declarer is allowed to kill
the king if he wishes, but he
will have to guess what to do on
the second round.
On a later low lead by North,
East will play low, and declarer
may think that East has the
queen. If he plays the jack, the
defense then wins two tricks in
the suit. Or if East is allowed
to hold the first trick with the
king Of diamonds, declarer has
to guess whether to finesse. or
swing the ace on the next lead.
