CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
Headquarters Established in El Cen. tro-seeretsry w. 3. Gibson
 in Charge.


 met In El Centro last Saturday and perfected the working organization for the campaign. Headquarters of the campaign committee will be in El Cen tro, in the new Hotel Oregon and will be designated cOnspicuously by a banner swung across the street. w. B. Gibson, of El CentrO, was cleo ted secretary of the campaign commit tee and will be in charge of the work at headquarters. A finance commit tee has been appointed to secure funds for the campaign and will call upon Republicans in all the precincts to contribute toward the payment of necessary expenses.
 One of the members of the county committee brought up the matter of the Imperial Valley survey and de- clared that, unless satisfactory assur- anceS of an early settlement of land questions could be obtained from the Interior Department, he and many oth. CT Republicans would voice their pro- test against the treatment dealt out to settlers by voting the Democratic ticket from top to bottom. The val ley settlers, he said, have lost patience with the Land Office and it's tortoise like movement and will hold the ad- ministration responsible or the con tinuance of existing conditions. The resurvey was ordered in 1902, and set tiers are yet unable to get title for their lands Failure to give convin- cing assurances of immediate relief, he declared, would cost the Republi- can party a thousand votes in Imper- ial county this fall.
 By unanimous vote the chairman was instructed to send telegrams to the Secretary of the Interior and the Manager of the Taft campaign remind ing them of the eXpediency of satis- flying the demand of the settlers for prompt approval of the survey and re- questing official assurances of imme- diate attention to the matter.
 The County Central Committee will meet in Fl Centro on Saturday, Oct. IT.
