But it is again too little and too
late. BY this time people have made
UP their minds nor can they grasp
a once-told story no matter how well
presented.
"Greats" Are Not Around.
The Democratic greats who led
the old battles and captured New
York's imagination are not around.
Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D.
Roosevelt are dead. Senator Wag-
ner is too Ill to campaign. James
A. Farley, at odds with the New
Dealers, took a travel powder. City
Hall is in Democratic hands, but
Mayor O'Dwyer has gone to Cali
fornia following the death OF his
wife and will not return until after
election. In any case he has his own
troubles trying to maintain city au-
thority over his broken party.
Mrs. Roosevelt, though busy With
her United Nations duties, is helping
as much as she can. Incidentally,
she excused herself from the final
PAC rally in Madison Square Gar
den-at which son Elliott will speak
by saying, II am Democrat.
It is not generally realized but Mrs.
Roosevelt has always been an In
dustrious party worker and 1t was
she who long ago organized the
New York State women for Al Smith.
The American Labor Party and
the PACs are striving to hold labor
and minority groups in line in the
name of the dead President. They
are hampered because these are
exactly the groups with which the
present President is most unpopu-
lar. The Democratic organization
is foreclosed from too close CO.

large Catholic elements are 50

Seen as Shrewd Politics.
This is considered shrewd politics
since it has enabled the campaign
ers to take the offensive and escape
to some extent, the defensive role
in which most Democratic candi-
dates find themselves. The. attack
is aimed at the private power in
terests in the three States, with
which the Democrats identify the
opposition candidates, and private
power interests usually being vul-
nerable. the attacking party is hav-
ing a good time. They think they
have a winning issue.
Biggest achievement thus far has
been conversion of Secretary of the
Interior Krug to their cause-at least
to support of a Columbia Valley Au-
thority. Opposition of the interior
Department has been one of the
biggest stumbling blocks in the past
Now the eva supporters are out to
get further support in the East, par
ticularly from members of Congress
In the Tennessee Valley. First tc
come through for them is Senator
elect John Sparkman of Alabama
and they are broadcasting state
ment in which he says:
II feel there are many streams
and certainly the Columbia is one
Of them, that could well profit from
a unified program similar to that
used by the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority, and I'm delighted that Sec
rotary Krug has Endorsed such de-
velopment for the Columbia. / feel
certain that such development
would mean much to the Pacific
Northwest"
If efforts to commit others are
equally successful the prospect for
other valley authorities on the iva
pattern will be considerably ad-
vanced in Congress. Likewise the
prospects of the three Democratic
candidates named above. ALI could
stand bit of improvement.
Mitchell Gains Ground.
Reports from that section indicate
that, of the three, young Mr.
Mitchell has been gaining the most
ground in recent days. His mex
perience as a vote getter-when he
was secretary to former Senator
Bone the latter always did his own
vote-getting-has been offset, 1t is
said. by the steam put into his cam
paign by Senator Magnuson and
Gov. Wallgren. Both are real cam
paigners and the power issue is one
they are accustomed to handle.
Mr.. Qonart, State senator and sue
cessful lawyer, is not finding the
going easy in Idaho, but Senator
Glen Taylor, the Singing Cowboy, is
lending his voice and energetic po-
litical showmanship to the cam
paign and the Democrats are con-
WINGED they have better than an
even chance.
As for Mr.. Erickson, the question
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-10-24

in Montana is what Senator Burton
K. Wheeler may do. Suffering q
surprising upset in the primary by
Erickson, Mr.. Wheeler is reported te
be still sulking in his tent, nursing
his bruised Achilles heel. However
he has not yet made any overt move
calculated to aid the Republican
candidate and the Democrats take
satisfaction from that fact.

PLEADS FOR UNITY

Editor, The Citizen:
In response to a letter appear
ing in your paper last week, I
would like to mention that it was
stressed that we, "the people of
Key West, do not want to repre-
sent Cuba in the parade at Miami
on New Years Eve" 1t must al
so be pointed out that emphasis
was put upon the word Amer
leans"
My point of view, as an indi-
vidual, and as part of group, is
obvious and also comprehensive.
To do and say such as was men
toned in that article, is watering
the seed of misunderstanding
with ignorance. Yes; we are all
Americans, or maybe I have mis-
conceived the true value OF
Americans.
l thought that Cuba, and all
the rest of the Latin Americas
were a part of America. Why
should the accusing finger be
pointed at Key West for repre-
senting a part of herself. l per-
Sonally think that the article was
a direct slap in the face to our
good neighbor policy.
We know that everyone is en-
titled to his or her opinion. That
is true and fundamental prin-
ciple on which this great democ-
racy was Standardization of
speech. But it must also be point
ed out that outside influence is
playing a destructive part in per-
picking the minds of the people,
who have gotten along fine
among themselves.
The bulk Of the population
here in Key West consists of
people from outlying islands.
Branding us as individualists is
no solution to our problems, be-
cause we are all Americans, and
if we grasp the understanding
as intellectuals, there is no need
for condonment. In dealing with
people, one will readily find that
the man who complains most, is
the one who should complain
least. So it is: The loudest talker
is the one that is contributing
least to the progress of Key West.
In conclusion, this point should
be brought home to we Amer
leans.
New Orleans is a city of some
considerable size. At one time it
was a French possession. Since

Pirates Seek 9TH Straight
Win; Raiders Face Blue Sox

The Winter League will move
into its ninth week of COMPETE
ton tomorrow when the league
leading Pirates tangle with the
Trojans in the second game of a
scheduled doubleheader at NUM-
cipal Stadium. In the opener,
the second place Red Raiders,
who are just a game behind the
Pirates, will tackle the Blue
Sox.
The Pirates will be seeking
their seventh straight win of the
Winter League. After dropping
their first two games, the BUGS
have won six straight victories,
including two over the Raiders.
The Trojans, although slightly
weakened by the loss of Arman-
do Acevedo, their star third base
man, who switched to play with
the Raiders, still claim a pow
erful hitting ball club with such
stars as r. Berg, Skip Rueda,
and Joe Navarro.
The Raiders will have no easy
pickings on their hands as the
Blue Sox have the distinction Of
giving the top teams tough COM
petition. The Raiders can breathe
a little easier now, however, as
they have been strengthened
considerably by the acquisition
of Armando Aeevedo. Acevedo
is not only a good hitter, but a
spark-plug in the infield as well.
In his first game with the Raid
ers Wednesday against the Pr
rates, he singled with the bases
loaded to put them in the lead in
the seventh, and filled in superb
" at second and short on defense.
In the nightcap, the Pirates
will send their ace, Pancho Sail
nero, who has two victories and
no defeats in the league thus far,
against the heavy hitting Tro-
jans. o. Rodriguez will be behind
the plate. For the Trojans, Joe
Domenech or Charlie Albury will
do the pitching with the old re-
liable Joe Navarro behind the
bat.
The Raiders will depend on
young 30 Meador's arm for vic
tory. ESmond "Tarzan" Albury
will be on the receiving end. For
the Blue Sox, it will be either
Oscar Cruz or G.. Diaz on the fir
ing line with Manager Manolo
Acevedo doing the receiving.
The first game will get under
way at 1aOH m.
