MAJORITY STILL RULES

Judging from the talk that is making
the rounds of the town the number of can
didates for city commission is likely to be
as large as has usually been the case with
councilmen.
AS The Citizen remarked on several
occasions, the fact that the form of govern
ment in Key West would be changed did
not mean that members of the city council
or other city officials could not run for
office as they have been doing. ..s.. u, s
We have heard many remarks about
the present council being, Ytopheavy with
seven members, and it has been said that
five could have functioned Just as well, if
not better. We think that at least some of
the council will agree to that statement.
So there will be five commissioners,
and those councilmen who wish to run for
membership on the commission may do
so just as well and as easily as they did for
membership on the council.
Indeed, we have been informed that
several members of the council will be in
the field, though the only one who has thus
far declared he will be candidate is
Gerald Saunders.
& As the councilmen and many other
Key Westers are aware, the man who gets
heihighest vote fpr commissioner, as a rule,
is chosen Us mayor, so that those Key West
ers wish to become mayor may dols
by entering the commission race. tol J.
- Coco luck and good going to all those
who rum is the attitude of The Citizen,
which means that the candidates who are
elected will be those who are chosen by
of the people. That is only an
other way of saying we are democracy
and that the majority rules, regardless of
what our form of government may be.

/. Sive battle of the Atlantic was possibly the
/. triumph of Anglo-American arms in Eu-

/. in Ja1nary. 1941, with 118 submarines, but
by March /. l945, the number had in
!. creased to $50. with about $50 constantly

In the spring of 1913, the B-boats took
a~disastrous ton of our shippmg but shortly
thereafter the tide turned American naval
forces accounted for at least 1876 of the
