TO NEMESIS CREW A loudly-shouting knot of Coast Guard sailors gathered on the deck of the Nemesis immediately following the Coast Guard surfboat races this morning! It was pay-up time! For the Nemesis had defeated the Dix for the surfboat race honors this morning in a divisional race. Sailors from both patrol boats had bets amounting to $50 on the race. The money would have been higer The Citizen was told but that pay day had been too far off. The Nemesis had won the race last year but the Dix were confident they had the winning crew this year. And they had a system, too. They lagged behind all the way tire. But they picked up too late. The best they could do was pull up alongside the third-place running Pandora. A “yell” was given each crew from the sailors who re- mained on the patrol boats as their surfboat was hoisted on the davits. Excitement reigned. A group of the men were piled aboard a truck and driven to the Break- water. There they got off to see the race. So excited were they that they forgot to pile back on the truck rugning along the break- water urging on their respec- tive crews. Just after the races a mys- terious “explosion” at old Fort Taylor was explained by Lt. Col. J. B. MacMullen as ignition of powder which was not done until after the pointed in his stead.

The executive, staunch sup-} porter of New Deal policies and | warm admirer of President Roose- ; velt, went down the line for Sen- ator Claude Pepper, now facing} a Republican opponent, in the! May primary. In his statement | today he called upon Denwocrats to} see to it that the will’ of the! large majority registered then be carried out in the general elec- tion. | | Addressing the Democrats of! Florida, Governor Cone said: | | _ “The general election of Tues- 'day, November 8, offers Demo-} crats another opportunity to go! to the polls and register their be-' lief in their party and what it: every Democrat vote, and I am; appealing to them to do so. _ “While Democratic nomination ; is considered equivalent to elec- | tion in this state, this fact would ' not excuse members of the party | for failure to vote. They should vote not only to avoid possible |defeat of their candidates by de- fault, but also as an appreciation of what the party has done for them, the state and the nation. “Appreciation, extremely keen at one time, should hot be allow- ed to dull merely because some years have elapsed since the banks were reopened, since Democratic leadership restored economic normalcy and since the danger of revolution was met. It is well enough to remember that | any backsliding now may ulti-| mately set the grass to growing {in our streets. “Practical - minded Democrats cannot remain unmindful of the ladvantage that the state will jgain by polling such a big vote jas to attract attention to its be-| loyalty and to its preponderant?® id |Democracy.

It is important that COMMISSIONERS ARRANGE TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AFTER. ESTATE INTEREST OF MRS. JAMES WILLIAMS The case of a woman who is an inmate of the county home and has a small interest in an estate left by her husband, and the ap- Pointment of a person to look after her interests, were matters brought to the attention of the county commissioners. by Probate Judge Raymond Lord at the méeting last night. Th a communication to the board, Judge Lord sets forth that Mrs. Julia Perez Williams, the inmate of the home, is en- titled to a dower interest in the estate left at the death of her husband James L. Williams, late of this county. Due to Mrs. Williams from the estate is the sum of approxi- mately $650, and an interest in a piece of real estate which is con- sidered of little value.

These nominees were chosen in primaries in which all Democrats took part and rep- resent majority rule. It is es- pecially important that Claude Pepper shall be returned to the United States Senate as nearly by acclamation as an organized minority will permit. It will be ; wise to be vigilant and to take no chances on the Republican opposi- {tion slipping something over. “The Democratic party is re- sponsible for nearly all progres- sive national legislation of the immediate and even remoter past. This legislation includes e Social Security Act, under | which Florida now is giving pub- [lic assistance to 34,000 aged. blind jand near-blind, as well az to de- j pendent children. Those who be- lieve that these and similar bene- fits should be continued should register their convictions at the j ballot box. } “Democratic office holders, es- {pecially, owe it to the party to vote and to help bring out the Democratic vote. “Florida is eating on the hog. To make sure of its ham and eggs. all Democrats must go to the polls and do their duty.” t ATTENTION ELKS! | Meeting Thursday. November \ 3rd. 8 p. m. lodge room. Official jvisit of Chelsie J.
