Albury is giving to representative institutions an opportunity to assure the many friends of Key West of the city’s attitude in this respect. * In order that the expression may be as representative as possible, such organizations as the Board of County Commissioners, Key West Chamber of Commerce, Stone Church Service Club, Junior Cham- ber of Commerce, Monroe County Board of Public Instruction, Key West Woman's Club, Junior Woman's Club, San Carlos Institute, Cuban Club, City Council and Ministerial Alliance, have been pre- sented with copies of the “Key West Declaration.” The Key West Rotary Club has unanimously approved it. 2 The “Declaration”, with its sponsors, will be given nation-wide publicity. The declaration follows: 3 A KEY WEST D ATION Moment, it is in position to choose its.destiny. ‘The forces of good. and the forces of évil are set in array Yo céfitend for the possession of the most ved city in Florida. The problem before us is. “Shall Key West be a shining example of a city rightly governed which offers in addition to its unéurpassed natural advantages an abode of peace and safety for the American family: or. shall it accept the wages of prostitution and: for a false i are “on the make:” whose aim is to find easy money without render- ing an equivalent therefor and who can only offer dishonorable em- ployment to our young people. We offer no criticism of those who desire the stimulation afford- ed by gambling casinos and race tracks. These things cam-bé found at ‘mo great distance from us. Space is limited om this isléad. “All of it We urge our citizens to refuse to be blinded by arguments that | the presence of legalized. or protected. vice can bring to Key West any lasting prosperity: and to be vigilant in the protection of their home city from any invasion of elements whem they would not welcome to sit down in their homes with their sons and daughters. Key West has always. even in the days of tribulation. been a Proud city. Now, when a future of incalculable service to the finest people of our country lies defore it, more than ever before. let us highly resolve that the soul of Key West is not for sale.

This will insure continuance of the free text books, | fair and just salaries for our school teachers and adequate | pensions for them after they have worn themselves out | | instucting our children. i As part of my program for the schools and teachers, | I propose to fight every effort of the big counties of the | state to divert some more of the gasoline taxes away from | such small counties as Monroe. Part of the gasoline taxes, | now coming to Monroe County are being used to retire our | school bonds and pay school bond interest. Any tampering | with the taxes will upset that program, react against the | school system and force our own taxpayers to dig down oad their pockets to pay off the school bonds. | I am not controlled by Miami attorneys seeking to | get a larger share of the gasoline taxes for Dade county. {I am not and never have been identified with the race | track and gambling interests of Dade county who are try- | ing to get a bigger share of the gasoline taxes for Dade | county so that they may dodge higher taxes themselves. I have never been connected with the operation of slot machines or any other kind of gambling racket. Therefore, I will be free and clear to fight any at- tempt by the gambling interests to divert the gasoline taxes to the larger counties and thus upset our school bond re- _tirement program. bd Respectfully, Thomas S.
