TUESDAY’S ELECTION PROVES WHAT THE CITIZEN OFTEN HAS SAID Human nature never varies in one respect — its sympathy always is with the underdog, the man who is stamped on, so to speak. The Citizen, many a time, has maintained that you can’t win an election by abusing your opponent, and last Tuesday’s election corroborated that truth in a contest that had evoked national interest. That race was for governor of New York. During the week preceeding-the day of election, The Citizen pub- lished several Associated Press dispatches about the virulent attacks that were made on Democratic nominee Harriman by his Republican opponent Ives, Governor Dewey and by New York’s Republican stumpspeakers generally. The abuse backfired, as it always backfires, and Harriman won by a small majority in a normally Re- publican state. Probably no other politician has been abused as much in his hometown or county as has Representative Bernie | C. Papy. Look back over every race he has made, except the first one in 1982, and you will find that his opposition was based on abuse. You will find also that the greater the abuse the more ovtstanding was his victory. So far as The Citizen can recall, the most stunning blow against abusive tactics was delivered against John W. Martin in the 1932 Democratic primary. Martin had been elected governor in 1924, and tried for a comeback Results of the election show that folks want the tax assessors’ offi- ces of Monroe County and Key West combined. Seems to me like there is no necessity in waiting un- til 1956 to do this. If the consolida- tion could be put into effect im- in 1982. He led in the first primary by 63,000 votes.

When the ballots were counted, Sholtz was out in front by almost as large a majority as had been Martin's plurality in the first primary. The most surprising outcome in Tuesday's election | was J. Strom Thurmond’s victory for the United States senate from South Carolina. He is the only man who has won a senate seat on a write-in vote. His election w. remindful of what was the most enthusiastic campaign ever conducted in Key West. The late Norberg Thompson had refused to run in} the primary for county commission, even though many of his friends had pleaded with him to enter the race. He | was just as recalcitrant when a group of friends tried to get his consent ‘to run in the general election on a write-in vote. But his friends persisted. They launched an active | campaign in every local precinct, and a wéek or so be- fore election Mr. Thompson joined heartily in the move- ment. Result: he was elected. Three years ago today: the big problem, inflation, and getting a new car. Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 1. Wandering 7. Tyrant 13. Calm 14. Masculine name 15. Minister 16. Sad 17. Town in Oklahoma 18.

Why? Because they are afraid the romantic bride of their dreams may become a frowsy-haired night- mare who will later hamper the progress of their careers. In picking executives many cor- porations weigh not only the kind of work a man does, but the kind of wife he goes home to. Will she be a credit to the firm, or a social liability? Does she have it in her to become what industrial leaders now look for ih the mates of their potential executives — the ‘“‘ideal corporate wife?” “My girl suits me all right now,” said a young bachelor. “But will she be able to grow up with me as I move ahead in the world? Will she, 25 years from now, be the kind of wife my corporation wants me to have? | “The boss I have now thinks my | girl is real cute. But what about when she’s middle-aged? Will the boss I have then think she’s a handicap to the firm?” One can easily sympathize with this young man. The mere fact he is worried about the future shows he is serious-minded as well as ambitious. His problem is real. As any married man knows, it is hard enough to tell what a wife | will be like 10 minutes from now, let alone 25 years. What can this young go-getter do? Well, frankly, let’s face it: It is impossible to marry a girl of 20 or 25 years and be certain that at 45 or 50 she will have matured into “the ideal corpo: wife.” Corporations change, too, and how Population TOKYO, Nov. 1 &—Red Chin |has claimed the staggering popu-| | lation of 601,930,000, people. | The Peiping radio broadcast the | new figure, saying it was based on | a direct census taken in June 1953, It gave no explanation as to why \the figure only now is being re- leased. | | The new figure is 100 million more than the most recent esti-| mates used by the Reds them- | selves, and from 125 to 150 million | | more than most non-Communist es- | timates In terms of population, the new | figure makes the newest member | of the Communist group of nations | tower nearly twice as large as her | nearest competitor, India, where! }the 1951 census reported 356,829,- 485 people. | Compared with China, Soviet | Russia’s population numbered 193 million according to a 1947 figure released by the Kremlin.

The 1950 census in the United | States showed 150,697,361 people, but recent estimates have pushed | The Peiping radio said the 1953 | census was taken by the State Bu- reau of Statistics. It said the cen- | paced world a quarter century rom now the ideal corporate wife will look and act like Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple, Kate Smith or Marilyn Monroe? Is there any solution then? Yes. One could wait until he had be- come an executive and then marry a woman pleasing to the chairman of the board. But most men don't want to postpone the pleasures of home cooking, etc., for 25 years An even better way is to switch one’s life goals now. Suppose you are the ambitious“young man. In- stead of worrying about selecting an ideal corporate wife, why not concentrate instead on becoming “the ideal corporate husband” yourself? Here's what you do.
