REASON and the REAL ONE, In this campaign the STAT- ED REASON for the “Get Cobo” smear is (a) that he is of Cuban | descent or (b) that he is “‘incom- petent’ or some other equally laughable so-called shortcoming— the REAL REASON is the well known fact that COBO CAN‘T BE BOUGHT and will INSIST upon the acquisition of MEACHAM AIR- PORT by the City FOR THE PEO PLE—despite the fact. that the | County Machine and its henchmen jwill be deprived of the BIG MEL LON they were promised, and were already prepared to slice.
