Assuming that yous “were vitally, con- cerned in the suecess of your establishment, your sole consideration would be horiesty and efficiency. « Yoo would not-employ a friend, were he not efficient, though his honesty was un- questioned, and for the same reason you would not eraploy a relative. Nobody questions the honesty of any of the candidates in the city election to be held tomorrow, so the question of efficiency alone should be considered. Our’ biggest busincss in Wey West is thé eunducting of the corporate nody of Key: West. Surely every Key: Wester, if he is sin- cerely. devoted to the intevesis of his city should be at teast ic careful in choosing its officials us“a business man is in employing his clerks. Who is the most eificient man te con- duet this-or that office? That is the ques- tion evesy voter should ,prdpound to' him- selfsand answer it conscientiously. If he brushes aside efficiency and votes for. # man moraly because he is related to him cr because he considers hita a good friend, t.en that voter has not the interests of his city at heart. It is not much of an exaggeration tc say that everybody knows everybody elsc in Key Weat.! . It is-an easy matter for any voter, if he is governed by the dictates of his conscience, to determine whom he be- lieves is best titted to itil] any of the various offices of the city. Further, The Citizen believes that every Key Wester is fully qualified to choose for himself the candidates for whom he- will vote. No other _ Key Wester or Key Wesiers can teil him anything about the qualifications of the candidates that he does ‘not know himself,,and he forfeits his great- est privilege as an American citizen if he lets anybody choose for him the candidate for whom he will vote. : j Local elections in a community the size of Key West are‘in the nature of a “family affair.” f every member of thai family in Key West brushes aside all enmity and gruds nd personal spites and is guided solely by rmination to strive to promote the s of the cit then we may be s 1 elect the be possible set of among the candi- dates at the election to be held tomorrow. ere Pain enis for ie nations is madness, and for each nation imperative.

PROPOSED CHARTE® CHANGES The Citizen was asked, in 8 communi- cation published Saturday, to explain the provisions ¢f the proposed changes in the ¢ity charter to be voted on tomorrow. The approval of the changes will nul- lify the vote of the people for mayor, city clerk, city treasury, chief of pclice, captain of police, one member cf the council (the candidate finishing seventh) , the police jus- tice aid the tax colleetor-assessor. Be- sides, the firemen will no longer elect their chief, who will be appointed by the mayor. There is a provision in the . charter that it goes into effect immediately on its approval by tue people. That meant if Mr. Delaney, Mr. Malone or. Mr. Trevor is elected mayor, and the charter is approved, j his election will be voided and the city council will name one of its members may- or. The case concerning that of mayor is worse than that of the other successful can- | didates who will lose their jobs if the char- ter is approved, because it will be impos- sible, according to a provision of the pro- | posed charter, for either Mr. Delaney, Mr. | Malone or Mr. ‘trevor to serve as mayor even though he is elected to that office. The proposed charter provides for the election of six councilmen’: and ‘for the choosing by them c of one of their number for mayor. Wher he is chosen, his capacity as councilman ceases immediately: . he per- forms the duties as mayor as pivyided for in the charter, Other successful candidates who will’ lose their offices if the cha™.2r is approved, are the city clerk, tax cc!'2ctor-assessor, city treasurer, -hief of police, captain of police ard police justice. The only candidates who will serve, if ; they are elected and the proposed changes in the charter go into effect, ave six coun- cilmen and the board of election commis- sioners. = 1 Of course, the six councilmen could ap- point the successfu! candidate for city clerk, tax coliector-assessor, etc., if. they saw fit tc 2> so, but they have the power to name somebody else, whether or not he was 4 candidate, if they so decided. The Citizen firmly takes the position that it is unfair to a candidate who has worked hard and has incurred expenses in campz.gniug for him to lose the office to whick a majority or plurality of voters elected him. It is dispiviting enough for a candidatc to lose an election, but it would be a thousand times more disheartening to vrin it only te find out he would not get the oifice for which the voters had chosen him. Some of the proposed changes are un- coubtedly good, but the mistake is in pro- viding that they become effective imme- diately on their adoption. it is a hardship on e man in any walk of life worted hard and conscientiously, nullified by law. FREEDOM (Miami Post) There has becn considerczble upheaval, lately over the freedom of the press. It)? staried when General Jchnson refused the “Tyeedom” paragraph to remain in the; newspaper code. There is nd great need. to get upset about the businéss; ‘The free-~: dom of the press is not menaced. It would be suicidal for any government to try. and: muzzle the press oi this country. too easy to have small sheets printed and distributed. Bootleg newspapers that said all they wented to, and said it with any- thing but flowers, would start up the min- ute any of our msny governments tried to run the editorial or news policies of news- papers. come an attemnted restriction of the free- dom of the press. chance to get out and tell all th y know— something they can’t do at present because “} the advertising office says — no!
