TO THE VOTERS of CORAL GABLES
May we call to your attention the following resume of the past record of civic achievement and governmental program of W. Keith Phillips in order that it may be helpful in determining your selection of Mayor of Coral Gables for the next two years? We believe Mr. Phillips has served his city and community well as an honorable and civic-minded citizen of the highest calibre. We believe he has served his city faithfully as a City Commissioner. We believe his knowledge of municipal government, the experience gained through an adult life devoted to public service and his steadfast refusal to align himself with any political clique or faction ideally equip him to become our next Mayor. We ask that you give him your serious consideration. A PROUD RECORD OF CIVIC ACHIEVEMENT • President of Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce 3 years • President of Miami Chamber of Commerce 2 years. • President of Florida Association of Workers for the Blind 4 years. • Chairman of Board of Stewards of Coral Gables Methodist Church 8 years. • Founder and Organizer of Orange Bowl Committee and Chairman 3 years. • Chairman of Miami Stadium Committee and took leading part in building Roddy Burdine Stadium. • Past President of Miami Rotary Club. • Chairman of Dade County Community Chest Drive. • Chairman of Salvation Army Drive. • Member of Welfare Board of Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and South Miami. • Member of Dade County Boy Scout Council. • Chairman of Coral Gables Boy Scout Troop No. 7 Committee. • Director of University of Miami Athletic Association. • Director of Florida State Chamber of Commerce. • Identified with every worthwhile welfare movement in Dade County for past 14 years.

The Same Old BAG of TRICKS!
Some people have naturally tricky minds. This is particularly true of professional politicians. Tricky politicians are the worst tricksters of all. But they never learn. They always use the same old Bag of Tricks. One of the oldest, most disreputable tricks in their Bag is to lay down a last-minute barrage of wild statements, unfounded claims, and vicious accusations to confuse the voters and try to distract their minds from the real issues. This scandal-loaded barrage is always timed so as to give those at whom it is aimed no chance to reply or refute the false assertions made. But these tricky politicians forget that voters nowadays do not like such tactics and resent having these shop-worn last-minute tricks pulled. Intelligent voters know that behind the smokescreen is a tricky politician who is using his candidates merely as a shield behind which he hopes to accomplish his own selfish ends—which ends invariably are opposed to the best interests of the taxpayers. This Association has no alliance, or affiliation whatever with professional politicians. We don't like their methods. We don't like their aims. Our efforts are entirely on the side of the Taxpayers of Coral Gables who fully realize what has been accomplished in the past two years for clean, honest business-like management of our City affairs. We are confident that last-minute mud-slinging ballyhoo will not influence those voters who don't want tricky politicians, through their catspaws, to work their way back into City Hall.
