At the mention of the name of w. J. Bryan. every Democrat grew enthu- siastic, showing that there is no di- vision of sentiment among the Demo cratic voters of Imperial county as to who should be President of the United States to succeed Roosevelt.
 Committees were appointed to con- duct elections of delegates to a county convention, and appointment of dele gates was made to the precincts as follows: Fl Centro, Imperial, Braw- ley, HoItville and Calexico, ten each; Silsbee 1. Imperial outside 3, Picacho 2, Laguna 2, Palo Verde 1, Hanlon's i, Old Beach 1.

 Imperial Valley Flood Damage Claims

The Trustee has arranged with Messrs. Haines and Haines, attorneys of San Diego, to bring the consilidoted damage suit against the California De- velopment Company in the United States Circuit Court This suit must be filed not later than May 1st, so it behooves every one who wants his claim collected to at once assign it to the Trustee. We have made very lib eral arrangements with the attorneys and if all come in, the cost fee will probably not exceed two dollars per thousand dollars of the claims. We have sent out assignment blanks and letters to all the damage claimants so far as we could get their addresses. We want to communicate with all of them, and again urge that every one interested give the matter their prompt attention.

JUDGE STANTON'S APPOINTMENT MEETS
POPULAR APPROVAL.

The appointment of c. W. STAN
ton of International Falls as asso-
ciate Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial
district, to succeed Marshall A..
Spooner, resigned, is meeting with
universal appreciation from all sides,
and Governor Johnson is to be con-
graduated or making such an ex-
cellent selection.
That a prophet is not without
honor, save in his own country"
does not hold good with Mr.. STAN
ton, as he is popular at home as we'll
as abroad, as witness the following,
taken from the Border Budget, pub
lshed at International Falls, Mr..
Stanton's home town:
When Governor Johnson re-
ceived Judge Spooner's resignation
he Immediately rendered the posi-
ton to C.. w. Stanton. Mr.. Stan
ton took the proposition under con-
sideration and Thursday advised the
governor of his acceptance.
The citizens of International
Falls are frank in their approval
of the honor that has been con-
ferred upon one of our leading citi-
zens, and it is needless to say that
it met with unanimous favor. Mr..
Stanton is recognized as one of the
leading attorneys in the district,
and among the members of the bar
he is credited with being a good,
sound lawyer of ability. !Since the
organization of Koochiching county
he has acted as county attorney and
has given general satisfaction. No
doubt Mr.. Stanton will make an able
judge and a model presiding officer. D

Germ to close it's plant and abandon
