EXPOSING GRAFT NOT MUD-SLINGING The coming poiitical campaign can be fought on a high plane and argued in intelligent speeches, or it can become a mud-slinging effort to besmirch opponents. We do not believe that the people of some candi- | dates seem to consider legitimate warfare. There is no use to regale the crowd with epithets applied to people who think other _ than the speaker and the efforts of many public speakers to “be smart” is usually achieved at the sacrifice of ¢ »mmon sense’ | and good taste. premier } by pump-priming and berrow- , ne criticism in e¥ery public: 'eatpaixn There isy however, a ‘legitimate field M'yeldlves around the official gts | of various candidates.

The popular reclusion to mud-slinging is often seized by political crooks as a foil to stop fair thrusts at vital records, The public record of any candidate is a legitimate target. If a candidate has violated the law, if he has grafted, if he has favored his friends, if his are against decent public policy, if he the nominee of crooked associates, and for other reasons, deserves condemnation, then he ought te be denourced.

An offer to this effect has been made in writing to the local water board. Under the terms of this offer, drilling shall begin in 90 days; the com- pany shall drill without interrup- tion; it shall have six months to obtain a water supply and _ pro- duction of 50,000 gallons per day and 18 months to obtain a supply of 200,000,000 gallons a year. If sufficient water is obtained the water board will buy from Mr. Meacham 200,000,000 gallons * of water annually at 50 cents the thousand gallons for the first five years. The price will be gradually decreased until it reaches 15 cents a thousand gallons at the tea of 25 years. In case the water boaré accepts the proposal drilling may begin in considerably less’ than three months, Mr. Meacham states. A driller who has ample equipment for the work has al- ready been engaged.

At best, the New York managers have come closer to Harlem hot spots than Cuba’s exotic rhythm emporiums. They produce a dizzy sensual drag and call it the real Cuban rhumba but, like most of the customers hereabouts, it never saw Cuba. Therefore it is an event of note when Key West produces the genuine Cuban setting in the new Club La Conga, under the guid- ance of a bona fide Cuban enter- tainer of note. It is nearer to hand for Miami night spot fans than Cuba and we’ll bet none of the Havana appeal will be lack- ing. It has long been a trite saying that every one has an outstanding talent which should make him successful. In respect to talent the La Conga is fortunate in its presentation number, the real Cuban Rhumba, and gala pro- gram attraction, “A Gypsy Fan- tasy”, created by Mrs. De Poo.
