The Citizen is neither hot nor cold toward any candidate in a Democratic primary. As The Citizen has said on var- ious occasions, it is:a Democratic news- paper and a Democratic primary is in the nature of a “family affair’. After the members ofthat. family have, settled the \e“affair’’ at the primary by choosing. the candidate they think will serve them best, The Citizen, in the succeeding general election, wil support the ticket that the Democrats adopted at the primary. All aspirants for nominations in this month’s primaries have sworn that they are Democrats, so why should a Demo- eratic paper come out in opposition to a Democrat or Democrats, which it would have to do if it supported any of them. Like other Democrats, The Citizen waits till the choices have been made by the party and then adheres to those choices. It is the only right thing to do, par- ticularly in Key West where The Citizen! is the only newspaper. Even, aside from. - The Tren lis awate\of that con-/ ait jon ‘and, «! re, does not take’ “sides”, for Whe reason it feels that, in do-} ang so, it, would be unfair to, the person’ | opposed, las there is no other paper fo} which he. ice at peal ta! stpport: his’ case. Following’ that'rtile,) the people of} |, Key West have, long since, become aware of The Citizen’s fairness in-not attempting to take advantage of the circumstance that it is the only paper in the commun- ity and can be arbitary whenever it wishes to be. As a Democrat, The Citizen says to other Democrats, “Vote for whom you please, and, if he is nominated, you may be sure The Citizen ‘will support him in the general election. ye Sind aie nee Tee IT ng) ‘ Russia is for cooperation,...it., 2 SRR but the: cooperation must. be Pepsi e Russian way. », There are very few wome| nee} belieye, your assertion| [Wh thenp-theylook,.‘stunning’yrercseenenerens [There “is undoubtedly much’ mes tick in'éxpressing our —— tréuble on PC | ree atthquakes.” — saraieas, a LIVING MEMORIALS Veterans of both World Wars who are members of The American Legion will be the first to give approval to the idea of constructing living memorials in honor of the war dead of our Nation. Whether the expenditure be large or small it will be a far better memory to our departed dead if it becomes a useful part of the community. And the preparation of memorials of this type does not mean there need be any sacrificé of beauty.

All turned towards the spot from whence this unexpected asseveration was heard. “English chivalry were second to NONE who ever drew sword in defence of the Holy Land.
