Congratulations County Commits
Sioners for the remarkable i'm.
provementS in our County Court
House front yard. The well kept
and freshly moved lawn, the plant
ing of the many Towering Hibiscus
plants bordering the walk, the erec-
ton of the nicely painted flagpole
and the installation of the inviting
concrete bench beneath the flag
pole, which incidently ! learn was
the conscientious work of the late
Alberto Camera, not only adds
beauty, but sense of dignity and
prosperous well being to our CON-
munity, providing a proper and
right setting for the newly appear
ing Court House and the recently
constructed County jail.
And congratulations too, on your
formation of the Southernmost De-
mocratic Stevenson for President
Club, as its formation keep and
Commissioners whom / know one
and personally, please pardon any
sense of levity or any doubt in my
mind of your sincerity that Adali
is the best man for the job, keeps,
! repeat, Key West in the lime
light in so far as the Democratic
candidate is concerned, and in the
event of his election provides the
necessary opening for our Mayor
and the Chamber of Commerce to
extend to him the hospitality of
Key West and the Little White
House.
But your action, although sin
cere. is one-sided l fear, for in my
humble opinion there is another
strong candidate destined to occupy
the White House next January, and
who likewise should be prevailed
to come to Key West and utilize
the Little White House as his win
ter vacation home. Such an invita-
ton will not only afford "Ike" the
freedom and the happiness of en-
joying our Key West winters and
fishing, but from commercial
point of view we will retain the
free million dollars publicity we al
ways get whenever the President
takes up his temporary home here.
And so as to provide the neceS-
sary ammunition for Mayor Har-
vey and the Chamber of Com
merce in inviting Ike" to Key
West after his election in Novem-
ber-and truly not for that purpose
only but because like thousands
of others North and South believe
he is the best man to straighten out
things in Washington hereby pro-
claim and do hereby establish by

THIS ROCK OF OURS
gill GLIB

The fellow who paints and fixes
up the front yard of his house
when his back yard doesn't look
too good is sometimes called a
hyprocrite. I'm inclined to dis
agree.
1t is human nature to want to
put ones best foot forward. The
upkeep of a painted house in Key
West is terrific-especially with
inflationary prices. The citizen with
pride in his neighborhood or CON-
munity often cannot afford a CON-
plete paint job on his house so he
paints the part which will be seen
most often by outsiders.
His actions are in line with the
philosophy of what people don't
know, won't hurt them. An indi-
vidual who doesn't feel well, often
hides his sickness so as not to
bother those around him. De don't
classify this later action as hypo-
criSy and l see no reason to dis
tinguish it from the property own
er who can only afford a limited
amount of money on beautifying
his place and spends this amount
of money where it will give the
where it will give the most peo-
pie the greatest amount of pleas
ure.
Key West homes and lawns look
better today than at any time
within my memory. Wish it were

they would add to the total time.

community. I've enjoyed a few of
their plays though I'm not capable

Five Southern States Are Question Marks
In Presidential Race According To Survey

rida tendency to vote Democratic
takes hold.
Forty eight newspaper and radio
news editors surveyed the politi
cal outlook in SO counties having
SO per cent of the states registered

was that Eisenhower has stepped
out ahead of Stevenson in those

If voer sentiment shifts later on,
in advance of the election, some
newsmen expect it to be in Sc
venson'S direction. That is the case
in Arkansas, for example, and in
Florida, too.
The reasons offered are that
Stevenson will pick up Southern
supporters as he becomes better
known while Eisenhower may lose
a bit of ground as the first flush
of enthusiasm aroused by his early
September campaign trip to the
South begins to fade little.
The same survey pattern was
followed in the South as elsewhere.

tricts he percentages of he popu-
lar vote that can be expeced to
go to Stevenson and Eisenhower.
A majority of. the editors are
advocating EiSenhower'S election.
In making estimates they were
asked and sought carefully to dis
associate personal or professional
views. Many turned in estimates
contrary to their preferences or
he editorial position of heir news
papers.
Here's the way things look poll
tically to Southern editors and
correspondents:
Texas IA electoral Vofss)
Texans want a change at the
White House, but editors feel the
still undecided independent voter
will determine whether the state
wants to change to Stevenson or
Eisenhower. At the moment, it's
toSSup.
One editor said that "Stevenson'S
ability to shake off Truman will
boost his chances in Texas"
Another figured that "good rains
could help Ike more than anything
else" That was on the theory that
Texas farmers have been hard
hit by drought and feel they can
get more financial help from the
Democrats than the Republicans.
Editors say Stevenson'S support
of the administration stand on tide
lands sappede some of his strength
among state Democratic leaders
but didn't hurt him greatly with the
ordinary voters.
LoUisiana (l0 electoral Votes)
The consensus of editors is that
a majority of Louisiana voters out
side of New Orleans would go for
Eisenhower if they were marking
their ballots today.
But the state must be listed as
a political question mark rather
than as tipping toward the COP
nominee because New Orleans is
a big, vital and unknown factor.
The states biggest city casts
one-fourth of the total Louisiana
vote and normally turns in a heavy
Democratic majority. Three New
Orleans dailieS did not take part
in the survey and no estimates
were obtained for the city.
Florida no electoral Votesl
News editors regard the state
as a $3.50 split at this time. But
many say they look for a pickup
in Stevenson strength when or if
