You Got To Get Up Early In The Morning To Fook-a Coneh!~ As this is the last issue of The Citizen before Primary Election Day, we will not have any- thing further to say about the senatorial cam- paign. We take that position because we de- sire to be strictly fair and square with Senator Malone’s opponent. We don't wish to say or intimate anything that, by the widest stretch of the imagination, may be construed as a re- flection on him. In other words, we, in com- mon with all other fair-minded people of Key West condemn eleventh-hour propaganda that is against any candidate. This afternoon we saw a circular printed in Spanish, and we were told that one in English was to be issued. Whether this is true or not, we do not know, and we do not care to know. But we do know that we are not going to issue any circulars, unless we are compelled to do so in self-defense. All. day today rumors against Senator Malone have been flying around thick and fast. But those, rumors have not worried us the least bit, becatise we are firm believers in that old saying that goes back to 1834 in the history of Key West: “YOU GOT TO GET UP EARLY IN THE * MORNING TO FOOL A CONCH!” COMMITTEE AGAINST DIVISION OF MONROE COUNTY.
