A speech written by some the speaker h not the ring of sin- as the one written and delivered by the same person. At the same time it is impossible to remember all the ghost writers have written, and that is one rea- son why President Roosevelt has so often contradicted himself. Raymond Moley, once a brain-truster, disclosed that he wrote part of the 1932 speech of accept- ance and that Mr. Roosevelt had not even seen the speech until he arrived in Chi- cago. How can a person be properly im- pressed with what others have written for him! Thcugh a gooe orator certainly can swe an audience composed of average in- telligence. Undoubtedly Mr. Roosevelt would gladly have unsaid many the thoughts of his ghost writers had he taken the time to digest the statements. one else tha cer of when of opponents |- vote? | to feed the | poorly clothed and | » 1936, BUSY DAYS AHEAD! Summer came to end here, as it did all over the nation, last weekend, and Key West will now figurativeiy roll up its col- lective hard licks prior to the opening sleeves for some good, at existing problems of what has been prophesied as the busiesi winter seasen this city has seen in many Not without considerable in fhe’ way of accomplishments has the” su er ‘Sea- son come to an end.

The Board of Public Works has started on some of the other streets—but hundreds of holes re- main yet to be filled. It is most desirable | that our streets be in good repair to start | the season off on a good footing. Housing facilities will be better than last year—but, in this department The Citizen feels there is going to be trouble. Demand, it now appears, will far exceed the supply of rooms end apartments. In many other ways, we can all busy ourselves to prepare for the big season ahead. Let there Le no shirking of respon- sibilities in the several tasks set before us. WHAT HAPPENS TO NEUTRALS It will take fifteen years to rebuild Rotterdam, which was bombed by German aviators just about the time the Nether- lands government capitulated. Undefended from the air the great seaport offered a perfect target to low- flying German planes, which flew over the open city in mass formation. Observers say that it will take 20,000 workmen and 1,300 freight cars the next six months to clean up the ruins. Some 350 streets, 26,000 houses and several hun- dred stores and office buildings will have to be cleared away. We call attention to this matter be- cause it illustrates what happens to neu- tral nations that happen to get in the way of Adolf Hitler’s machine. ee people of the Netherlands w ; they almost fell over backward in their ifort to con- vince the Germans that they were nice, peaceable neutrals. NEWSPAPERS AGAINST ROOSEVELT Two-thirds of the nation’s daily news- papers support the candidacy of Wendell L. Willkie, according to survey made by Editor and Fublisher, a newspaper maga- zine. daily newspapers in the country, 1,030 recorded their political position. Of these, 683 were for Willkie, 208 for Roosevelt and 139 for neither. The survey disclesed that the propor- tion of returns was best from States in which preference for Mr. Willkie pre- dominated and where there was something t was weakest from favor Democratic Of 1,8 ( of an even division.
