wonder to me that after all the kIckln
 Imperial Is doln the company don'r
 put It's hlr dquarters down there and do
 some of the same kind of business.
 but guess the company don't care;
 then It's better to not retaliate. but as
 was sayln anything the people of the
 valley might do that will make the
 Holton Power company prosperous will
 return In establishing other enterprises
 that the people of the valley need and
 which they can not In their individual
 capacity build. The company Is not
 makin' any promises of what they are
 2 In to do We have all heard so
 much of that from Imperial that It's a standing joke which other people In the valley don't want to get on themselves If they can help It, but It stands to reason that the company has plans all ready laid for enlargement, provided the people of the valley encourage them, so let us not bite off our noses to spite our faces. The company will go right on whether you get the county seat or not, but you see how the com pary can do more by the boost the county seat will give their enterprises then they might without 1t. AS said, this Is not sentiment or sympathy The company has never asked for these; common, hard horse sense is what we need to use. The county seat question Is one of business choice by all the people; this Is the law; everybody knew that when they went Into business or bought lots in Imperial or anywhere else away back In the early days, they all knew that when the time came for county divisions that the location of the county seat would be settled by a popular vote., Where do the people want their county capitol1 They will consider a whole lot of things, but them will not be the fact that three, four or five years ago some peo- pie bought lots in Imperial with the idea that 1t would be the county seat; no, those who did this and still own the lots will work for Imperial for county seat; this is natural and morally right. but 1t Is the same with those who diff fer from them in choice in this matter. Every voter has moral right to vote for any place he wants for county seat and to object to this principle Is the same as striking at free government. If majority of the voters say "Imper- al" you will not hear a whine from he people who have bought lots In El Centro because they thought the county seat would go there.
 Now, Mir. Editor, 1 have said this much about the Holton Power com ,any in this issue because 1t seems to 'e the special caste of some people to ay the blame of competition for the county seat on this company and more specially because w. F. Holt is con- lected with .the company and they ,eem to think he Is the hateful leader n the fight. but as the attacks thus far ,n Fl Centro are nearly all on either W F. Holt or the different companies with which he Is connected 1t makes It nearly impossible to avoid the personal

element think people ought to set
 tie political matters Ike this without
 bringing In personalities, but how can you help making some reply when you
 know you have nothing to fear1 These
 repeated personal attacks on w. F.
 Holt for the purpose of hurting his h. tluence and If possible turn some votes from Fl Centro because Holt Is a scoundrel, ought to get what they de- serve-a black eye-especially when 1t would not take much to show up the truth can't understand why Mr.
 Howe, of the Imperial Standard should act like he does toward everybody out side of Imperial. If Imperial Is ever to hold the trade and business which naturally belongs to her territory 1t must change the spirit of its paper to- ward her neighbors It don't do any good to say complimentary things to a neghboring town and then In the same breath give w. F. Holt whack, when they know him to be a gentleman and true friend. The people of these towns have known Mr. Holt as long and intimately as Mir Hove has.
 These people, too, are quite as keen observers and can see into things about as far as Mir. Howe can and they don't like to have friend they know to be slandered and his character for honesty and sincerity assalled and hIs business acts reprobated without pro test. Wonder If Mir. Howe wants some more "inside history" publlshed1 Wonder if he'd enjoy the exposln' of Mir. HoWe's agreement to come to Fl Centro and run the Press and boom the town1 Eh! Wonder how he'd enjoy lookin' at his own receipt for money paid him because the plan did not carry at that time; he wanted to go ahead with 1t and the company be- ing dissolved Mr~Howe made a kick and demanded a whole years pay, which was given him. Your Uncle Zed heard about this more than year and half ago and he's lnvestigatin' the thing now and when he gets done he's goln' to tell the folks about 1t; this Is not to get even with Mir. Howe, but so the real motive for his spirit in this fight may be understood and also because the people have a right to know just how sincere MT. Howe Is; also that the whole truth may be | known about sthat old chestnut that Holt agreed to not build another town, etc. This isn't bluff, no. One thing before quit this time. Uncle Zed Is a prelance and will write what ne wants to; 1t Is his own free will. The HoIton Power company and no mem- Der of it nor Mir Holt knows a thing about what have written; somehow l don't want to do thing unless l want to and l want everybody to see all round this subject. so when they vote they will vote right.
