COMMITTEE GIVES PRAISE FOR WORK DURING CAMPAIGN THOMPSON AND ADAMS TEN- DERED VOTE OF THANKS;) ARRANGE FOR ACTIVITIES IN GETTING OUT VOTE Sidney Thompson and Earl Adams, of the committee, were tendered a vote of thanks yester- day by the Democratic Executive Committee of Monroe County, at a special meeting, for the excellent manner in which the parade of last Thursday night was planned and carried out. In discussing the demonstration, Judge Burwell, the visiting speak- er, said that it was one of the fin- est demonstrations that he had ever seen at any political rally. It was decided at the meeting to hire 20 automobiles to be used tomorrow in carrying voters to the polls to get out a heavy and rep- resentative vote. Before this a number of drivers had been hired but others who had been left off the list objected and it was decided by the committee to put the names of drivers who have cars for hire in a hat and let one of their number draw them out. This was done this morning and there will be 20 cars tomorrow to help in getting voters to the polls, FIRE DAMAGES RUSSELL. HOME BLAZE DISCOVERED AT RESI- DENCE ON SATURDAY NIGHT Russell’s Lane, was partially de- stroyed by fire Saturday night be- tween 8 and 9 o’clock. On the ar- rival of the fire department the in- terior of the home was practically in flames. Chief Baker is of the opinion that the fire started under the stair near the rear of the building which leads to the upper story. Whether of incendiary origin or not he did not say. The house and furniture car- ried insurance of $3.000. There was no one at home at the time of the fire.

It may be worthy of note that Mr. Perpall is a native of Key | West, born and lived here all of his life and has at all times worked for the best interests of our Coun- ty and City. A few of the things he has as- sisted in doing during the past few years may be of interest to you, < During the year 1919 he was ad- mitted as a member of the Key West Rotary Club, and continued {to be an active member until No- {vember Second, 1931, always tak- ing an active part in all measures , of benefit to our community. In 1922 was appointed Chair- man of Community Service Work (under the direction of Geo, Back- ford) at which time a great deal of good was accomplished. For five years he was Chairman of Boys’ Work of the Key West Rotary Club and during the first year succeeded in establishing the annual Boys’ Week, and continued to conduct this annual affair dur- ing his five years as chairman of this work. This good work has been passed on to his successors, {and the event is looked forward to each year with great anticipation by the boys of our city. Was instrumental in having the {Monroe county High School grad- uates of each year attend a Ro- tary Club dinner given in their honor, this being considered by the graduates as one of the outstand- ing events during their Commence- ment Week. The two above items may not seem worthy of mention but ask the boys and girls, Served as President of the Ro- tary Club from July, 1928 to July, 1929. Was member of Rotary Club Park Committee which succeeded in establishing the present Bay- view Park. Has always given unselfishly of his time and worked hard without the thought of remuneration for the upbuilding of the youth of our County, for in making good boys you have laid the corner stone for better men. In placing him for your approv- al as a candidate for “Clerk of the Circuit Court,” we feel confi- dent of his qualifications for this position, and’ hope you will con- sider the foregoing as well as the following statements in advising you of his citizenship. We are quite certain you are aware of his business career, hav- ing been Manager of the firm of Trevor & Morris Ford Agency from 1913 to November 1931, when he found himself in a gen- eral run-down physical condition, and was advised by his physician to make a change in climate and rest for 6 or 8 months. Upon re- turning home, June 1932, eight months later, the first primary had been held and was on the eve of the second primary. Hence by circumstances beyond his control he was prohibited from making the primary race. In asking you to support him in the General Election November 8th, for the position of “Clerk of the Circuit Court” you can be as- sured by electing him, this office | will be conducted along business principles, with the thought ever in mind that the records of this office are yours, that you may feel free to call on him at any and all ' pany who did shoot made some good records despite the adverse winds. the scores are checked it will be4 shown that the battery made a | creditable showing. } \Fire Engine Test Made | Is Very Satisfactory | The recently rebuilt engine of |the Key West fire department was given an official test this morning jat the Porter Dock Company’s | wharf.

Monroe county Democrats are not bolters, They are going to the polls tomorrow to vote the straight Democratic ticket, regardless of what friendship some might have for those candidates who would have one write their names on the ballot and those who would try to urge one to vote for Republican candidates on the false cry of “two party governments.” Roosevelt is going to carry the “solid south.” He is going to be the next president and Monroe county is going to do her bit in giving him a wide majority. There must be no mistake. To vote for Roosevelt a voter must cross the first seven names on the ballot for the name Roosevelt will not be on the ticket. oa ‘ Karl O. Thompson, Democratic nominee for sheriff, and Ray El- wood, constable from the first dis- trict, were selected by the Demo- crats in the June primaries as j their candidates. They now are jentitled to the united support of the party. They must also win along with Roosevelt and Sholtz for the party’s victory in Monroe county to be complete. Someone may+lead you to be- lieve that with the Republican ad- ministration in power that the Naval Station will again be open- ed. This we know is not true. The south is doomed for another four years if Hoover is re-elected. This, however, he will not be. Every Democratic candidate should be voted on. We selected them in the June primary and we owe them our support now.

I think that it would be good if some of the people of the city could ex- press their views on the matter through your pap@r. I am send- ing you my views now. It might be true that diamond- ball games take some trade away from the merchants, but not what they think, as we all know the main reason for the falling off of the night business, is the reason that all business has shown a drop. There are very few places that stay open after the time for the games to start, and if the people want to purchase things they need they will do it either before or af- ter the game. I think that the stores that stay open late on Mon- day only, will save money by clos- ing at the regular time, for, as I can see, they will not sell enough to pay the light bill. To go into the matter ef what the game is worth to the people of Key West, as the Chamber of Commerce will tell you, there are four thousand people in the city ‘out of work, well, that four thou- sand has not the money to buy from the merchants, or go to the picture show, but they can go out there and sit in the park and en- joy an evening of pleasure with- out the need of a nickle. It gives ‘them something to take their minds off their trouble, and these are the people that I think of when someone says stop the games, It was for the pleasure of thsee people that I, with the help of a few more, worked for in getting the park made into a night ball field. I think it would be a shame to stop the game, just because all the seats in the shows are not fill- ed, or someone don’t sell a few cold drinks. Turn the lights off in the park and the young eek that go out there now at night wil) go back to the pool room and gambling hall. I am for diamond- ball three nights a week. Very truly yours, T. H. PITTMAN. Key West, Fla. Nov. 5, 1932. EDITOR'S NOTE: Sub- seriber Pittman is in error on one point. There has never been a demand from any re- liable source that all diamond- ball playing be stopped. The Board of Public Works, in re- sponse to a petition and act- ing as intermediary only, ask- ed: that ‘the league’ limit the diamondball games to two in- stead of three games a week.

DEMERITT baagiges* Editor, The Key West Citizen: Ananias, who established an un- enviable reputation for lack’ of veracity, has indeed been out- {classed by the modern prototype ; responsible for the communication appearing in the People’s Forum in your issue of November 5, 1932. The statements to the effect that I had anything to do with thie }particular tranasction are ab- solutely false. | Residents of this community, {from the richest to the porest, have ; cooperated in efforts. to beautify and to eradicate mosquitoes on the recently acquired radio beacon site on White street. Hundreds have contributed rock, dirt and other materials for filling an area that is below low tide. It was for this purpose my subordinates obtained the four loads in question. If “A Key Wester” was actually interested in promoting the wel- fare of the men who were being thrown out of work, he would ha’ manifested a much better com- munity spirit by promptly bringing the matter to the attention of the. proper authorities for adjustme! advising that there was an existing contract for the removal of the fill in question of which they had — no knowledge. If he had done $o, he would have found, under the’ circumstances, that the govern-— ment truck would have been im-) mediately withdrawn. = ae WM. W. DEMERITT. Key West, Fla., | November 7, 1932.
