ROGERS. - CANDIDATE, HERE »|MAKING RACE FOR REPRE- SENTATIVE FROM FOURTH DISTRICT: WAS hs ae Dwight L. Rogers, candidate for congress from the Fourth Congressional District of Florida, was a visitor in the city today and a welcomed caller at the of- fice of The Citizen. Mr. Rogers said his object in entering the race is to continue his fight for the small homeown- ers, by exempting their homes from taxation for bonded indebt- edness. An amendment to the constitution that “no state shall be deprived of the right to ex- empt all homesteads from all tax- es for all purposes” would make the homestead exemption fully effective. He has been a member of the 4 legislature for four consecutive terms from Broward county. He is author and father of the Home- stead Exemption Amendment: Old Age Pension Laws; Free School Text Books; Equal Rights < For Women; Eight Hundred Dol- lar Per Instruction Unit from the State to Aid Counties im Provid- ing a Full Eight Months Term in the Public Schools of the State. Worked for the School Teachers Retirement Fund ~ He cites the fact that he fought vigorously for the public schox system d for the homeowners of this state. A some of the ures for which Mr. Rogers stands are: He ill advocate the construction of four-lane highway between Key West and Jacksonville.

The Citizen has been informed by none other than Post Commander Reardon of Arthur Sawyer Post; 28, American Legion. that an in-| : authorized and of conver- e.

Commander Reardon said that there has been no one authorized to do any such soliciting. Had there been any such movement) the solicitor would} have been authorized to get au-} thority from the local post and) the entire membership would; have had knowledge of it. j The solicitor for these funds,} says Mr. Reardon, is partly dress- | ‘ed to act-the part, at least he has! on a blue shirt and chevrons, and = unsuspecting persons will easily’ succumb to his inducements if not warned in time. j Another way is considered fair.! as the sucker .is cognizant of every move made by the operator, | and yet in the Three-Card Monte | game he continually loses. H This happened before the arrest of Andy Kelly, Robert Waterman and Herbert Collins, who pleaded guilty in Criminal Court and were fined a sum, which, with the costs, was more than $600. A hard-working Key Wester: was at No Name Key while this group were operating, and think- ing it easy to guess the designated card, he ventured to make the? bets and in a short time found that he had lost $60... i The gamblers were tipped off: i that the loser .was aKey Wester, | and as they were planning to car-' ry their operations right into Key West, they decided to give back the loser the amount of his losses. | These are but a few instances of ' the method of the operations used by the nomads who follow wher- ever the crowds go, and usually find opportunity to ply their easy- money games, which prove quite frequently to be successful.
