Political hooey runs all the way down to each of the tens of thousand precincts in the United States. Hooey, at present, is spooned out or shoveled out in each of the precincts in Key West. The reason: we are going to elect a mayor and city commissioners in Novem- ber. The reason for the hooey at the meeting of the big guns; next year's congressional elections. Both objectives. are the same, though the objective in Key West ison a) far smaller scale. It is far harder for the nation's big-wig politicos to dish out their hooey effectively than it is in Key West.| Here the voter, with some exceptions, know the candi- dates and what types of men they are. We have no parti- san fight in Key West. So far as The Citizen knows, all, candidates are Democrats. Here the choice is the man, not his political complexion.
