Ni 0. 242, Democrats Planning: To: Have Wilcox And Pepper: Addr Voters Here B Many Other Matters In: Connection With Cam- paign Taken Up At Meeting Last Night J. Mark Wilcox, candidate for reelection as congressman, and Claude Pepper, candidate for the senate, ‘are to be asked to come to Key West and address the voters sometime between now and! election ‘day: November 3. This was one of the important matters discussed at the joint meeting of the Monroe County Democratic Executive Committee and the Young Democratic Club at their meeting held last night in the county court house. Presiding over the gathering} was Chief Harry M. Baker, of the| Key West Fire Department, vice} chairman of the executive com-! mittee, occupying the chair in the! absence of Chairman B. D, Tre-| vor, in Miami on matters anent the Overseas Bridges, Wm. Arnold, president of the Young Democratic Club, stated that it is intended to secure stick- ers for wind shields and rear; glasses in automobiles, one of the| stickers to carry the legend| “Reoievelt™ tor President” and} the other the Donkey, emblem-of the Democratic party. To Instruct Young Voters Tt was also decided that the} membership of the organizations! get in touch with as many of the} young men of the city, and wo-| men, just reaching voting age, as! possible, and instruct them as to} their course of procedure in cast-| ing their first ballot. Speakers are to be selected to attend the great democratic rally to be held during the latter part: of the month on the Keys, prob- ably at Tavernier. Other speak- ers are to be named for the pre-; election meeting, or meetings, to be held in Key West. Attorney J. Lancelot Lester, locAl finance director of the State Defnocratic Committee, addressed the meeting relative to fulds and suggested that every meinber get out and work toward building up a fund for the state committe: Objections were raised, and ene’ member of the Young Democratic} Club vigorously objected to the; proposal. The gist of his talk was that the club was called on to! do the work and the club should! } 1 raising send in the funds as coming from} the club in order that there be no; mistake as to the source from! which they were secured. j It was also decided to give a} series of dances before election in order to add to the funds se-; cured from other sources and; Bernard Waite moved that the} Democratic Executive Committee| contribute $60 toward the fund! for carrying on locally and mak-! ing effective the plans which were} now in the making. | Organize Club H Decision was reached to or- ganize a Roosevelt-Garner-Wilcox-| Gone club, and William Arnold! ‘was named president; Bernard! Waite, vice-president; Ray Brid-| well, secretary, and Robert nee wood, treasurer. There were a number of other! matters, more or less. important, discussed and it was decided that; when the committee for different} work, speakers decided upon for! both the local rallies and those on} the keys, wide publicity will bel given in order to bring out as/ many voters as possible and ex-! plain to them the many vital is- sues to be decided at the polls on November 3. | them.” jand hte beach, wh'ch he i] STATE TO OPEN DRIVE ON SLOTS i f efore Election ’ex:se«o» TO BEGIN ON MEMBERS ‘COME BACK’ TO DUTY machine operators had notice from | Comptroller J.
