Regardless of the fact (lie
election is over and won by one
side or the other— a decision w
will leave to ‘ those in proper
authority—we view the lust two
weeks "feudin' and fight in'"
campaign as peculiar in its ef
fect on the voting public.
in tltis. the issue was. in a
measure, a matter of whether
you were a "Keating" or a
"Howard" man.
The balance in power was
hebl by an unthinking public
who squandered their votes,
swayed, no doubt, by a jumble
of figures which even now after
study, fail to make sense.
Pooled by these figures, those
who sought to give the city the
advantage of a huge piece of
property, tog'-ther with equip
ment. and other essentials at a
price which is estimated to b«
only a few cents on the dollar,
failed to take into consideration
the fact that a large amount of
capital is needed to pursue the
objective to a successful conclus
ion. hut also this: you the peo
ple who voted “for", were asked
to sign a contract yon never
rend- Von took the word of two
men that the situation was this;
A representative, said to he a
local man. said also to be a
representative of a Southeastern
fishing company, who would, un
der the utmost pressure on these
two local men. refuse to admit
his connections or his identity.—
you were asked to sign this sort
of a contract for 1 f> years a
verbal picture which would give
the city as much as $".7,500.00
per year and positive ownership
of all the property and improve
ments at the end of that period
of time.
Ask any businessman who
makes his way by viewing hard
facts in a business world which
is full of pit falls for the unwary
and see what he would say after
calm deliberation.
That, voters of Seward. is
what you were asked to sign
$40,000 worth, with interest
on the word of two men who
would not. name the potential
lessor and who in turn, was a
t'raid to route out in t :ie op n
