Dwight Eisenhower's over- | whelming victory in the Massa- | chusetts primary put him today | almot even with Sen. Robert Taft | of Ohio in a tabulation of Republi- can presidential-nominating dele- Bates. | In the preferential voting Tues- | | day, Eisenhower drew more votes than all other names written in, | either Republican or Democrat. No | names were printed on the popu- larity ballot. The vote, from 1,577 precincts, showed: Republicans—Eisenhower 206,770 Taft 89,783; Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur 1,843, | Democrats—Sen. Estes Kefauv- er of Tennessee, 25.100; Hisenhow- jer 13,690; President Truman 6,488. The rest were scattered. | In addition, Eisenhower won 26 | nominating delegates in 13 of 14 | district elections and his backers | were running close in the other one. The Associated Press delegate Score sheet—based on concessions, Pledges, intruction and state ments from delegates willing to express a choice—showed, prior to the Massachusetts balloting: Taft 265, Eisenhower 237, Thus, with 26 more delegates, Eisenhower would be just two short of Taft. The Ohioan’s backers, however, claim Taft has more than 300. It takes 604 votes tor nomi- nation at the July 7 Chicago con- vention. Fisenhower’s chief supporter, Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., of | Massachusetts, said the primary “clinches the case for the nomina- tion of Eisenhower.” However, Taft's state campaign manager, Basil Brewer, said Eisenhower won because of “brazen” Democratic help. of 1,739 Existence Of Two Cameras For One Shot Citizen Staff Photo GEORGE LEAVENS who is photographing Key West for “Family Circle” shoots color and black and white simultaneously with his two.

SPOTTSWOO Devoted to the Interests of Kev West PRICE FIVE CENTS More Charges Hurled On Toy Deer Ed Barry Mobilizes Case Against Deer’s Being More evidence by experts and Keys residents alike that there isn't any such species of animal as Toy Deer on the Keys was released today by Ed Barry of the Lower Key Property Owners Association, Barry, who is a property owner on Big Pine Key has amassed test- {imonials and statements from many sources to prove that the toy deer are in reality just normal deer. John D. Dickson TIT, State biolow gist sent down to the Keys to study the deer, ther feed, their size and their habits, conducted a year's re- search into the deer. His conclusion is: “It still should not be considered a ‘toy’ because even the original descriptions as above mentoned came from specimens of 65 to 80 Pounds.”’ Big Pine Key Prison Capt. R. E. Marlow also signed a statement which says: “During the almost two years that I have lived on Big Pine Key, I have seen three live deer. One of these, an eight point buck at very close range, at about 10 a.m. I would estimate this particular deer’s height at shoulder approxi- mately 35 inches. The other two mentioned above were seen in car light before daylight, crossing road in front of car at a distance and speed, that sex could not be deter- mined. However, I would estimate the height of these deer at about thirty inches.” The full statement of Dickson, biologist follows: “I was sent down here to Big Pine Key to make a year's study of the Key deer for the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, This particular white-tailed deer was named by Dr. Thomas Bar- bour and Dr, Glover M. Allen in 1922: Odocoileus virginianus cla- vium (See Journal of Mammology 3:65-78, May 1922.) They refer to | this deer as the smallest race of white-tailed deer in the United States. Quoting them they say, ‘A full-sized doe is reliably stated to weigh approximately 65 pounds; the larger of the two immature males (No. 18497) was said to have weighed 80 pounds.’ “I have seen a number of these deer since I have been down here on Big Pine Key (I have been here | since June 1951.) Of the 19 obser- vations I have made, only two bucks were seen (at least as far as I am sure of.)
