\ Earring THE END

One week from today comes the
great national election, and as the end
draws near there is a feeling OF in
creasing strenuosity throughout III,
whole country, and each of the three
great parties is claiming that victory
is in sight. The Press along with th>
rest has its convictions and its expec-
tation of the result. just as YOU have.
but whatever the result may be. if Il
be decid d in calmness il cannot be
bad.
There are those who are seeking %
settle the result of the election through n
vengeance, feeling that they have a
grievance which should take prece
dence over the welfare Of the country.
Never was there a worse motive in
troduced into politics than this.
When revenge serves to guide per
son, it never accomplishes its object
and never brings satisfaction to any
person. There are great principles in r
volved in this campaign, and it has
been the purpose of this paper to use
what little influence it possesses u
guide to a solution of those principles
on a basis of fair and calm thought,
and in so far as that method prevails
il believes the situation is hopeful for
the country. but in so far as passion
and desire for revenge is concerned, it
cannot but believe that all is to the
bad.

II ACE 4 SUCCESS

y Never was there ian automobile
greater benefit than that which was
run from Los Angeles and San Diego
to Phoenix. 1t is spoken of as one
race though officially it was two. It
was one, because it was primarily a
contest between the two cities TO de-
termine which route is most valuable
for the national highway.
As this journal has repeatedly point
ed out the greatest good will be found
in two roads. one Leading by way 2f
BrawIey 10 Los Angeles and the other
directly 70 san Diego. the coast ends
Of these roads 10 be Joined making
what thls journal has called the Grand
Circuit automobile road.
But the one point is that the ROAD
should lead through as much of the
irrigated portion Of the valley a. pos
sbIe
UHf1rtuuateIy. Erawley has formed
the idea that the remainder o. the
valley is opposed 10 a road pa-~ing
through that city, which g. not the
case Brawley is situated iu one II the
most promising sites for city in me
valley. and there D. every reason why
10 should be- on one Of the main thor
Oughfares o. the valley. But the route
which leads from Los Angeles to that
city and thence out Of the valley ira
verses but small portion of the un-
cultivated area. and alike for travellers
and for the valley it is undesirable.

And what are you going to do about
II? Are you going to support for office
nominees of your party who are will
ing to compromise themselves by court
ing the support of the old-time de-
throned bosses of the Republican par
ty? Are men who seek such support
strong enough in principles to deserve
your vote? Do you want in office Dem
ocrats whose hands are daubed with
the tar of the discredited and over
thrown Republican boss system?
One cannot but respect a person of
strong convictions, be he Republican.
Democrat, Progressive or Socialist Bu.
how can we respect a candidate for
office who stands on a definite platform
of principles but is willing to court
the support of those who have for
years maintained a corrupt domination
of the politics of the state?
The Democrats of California, and
you as one of them, must decide be-
fore November 8 whether you will al
low your party to contaminate itself
in this manner or whether you will
insist on the party making it's battle
on high principles by rebuking those
who are responsible for the contam-
nation with the dethroned Republican
bosses.

other leading Democrats In the house
and senate took the same position.

other leading Democrats In the house
and senate took the same position.
Mr.. Underwood, floor leader of the
| house, is opposed to water power con-
| servation in Alaska. Many of these
men voted and worked desperately with
the Republican Aldrich Hale and Can.
OF the most important conservation bills
| during Mr.. Roosevelts administration.
| Whatever their motives, the two old
| parties inevitably belong and will act
| together in reactionary obstruction of
| far sighted and constructive and hu-
| name measures. Their members may
be individually humane, but their hu-
| manity stands baffled and futile before
! the fundamental conditions of modern
life
Such are the affiliations and con-
victions of Mr.. Wilson. He has pre-
cisely formulated them in his antiquat-
ed and paralyzing theory of the limi-
tations of government which Theodore
Roosevelt forcibly and justly analyzed
in the best speech made in the cam
paign so far.
AS to the position of Mr.. Taft-and
lest we forget, Mr.. sherman, whose
sponsor is Barnes-it has happily be-
come unnecessary to say more than a
ord man who accepts a state,
administration, who has surrounded
himself with the worst manipulators of
corruption and greed, who has lent
himself to many plots to coerce, ig-
more and exploit the people, who has
broken almost every pledge upon which
he was elected, who has reestablished
the spoils Of shame, less disregard of
public decency-a man that has no
head, nor hand, nor heart, cannot be
president again.
Mr.. Wilson has spoken of setting
human rights above property rights.
while at the same time he has repudi-
ated the only means by which that
can be done. Where do the men and
women stand who for years have
fought and labored for the social and
| industrial welfare, who have faced the
conditions as they are, who know? Ask
Oscar Straus, Theodore Roosevelt's
first commission of Humanity. ASK
Jane Addams and Mrs. Raymond Rob
| ms! Ask the thousands of men and
women who have labored in the slums
and among the victims of the old So
cial and industrial system of greed and
exploitation. They are not ralIying
| around Taft and sherman, nor aroun i
Wilson and Marshall, but around the
two most potent personalities of this
age, Theodore Roosevelt and Hiram
Johnson, for justice, humanity and
brotherhood.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-10-29

Fer every reason, the road shouid
run as nearly due west from Yuma
to this valley as it can, here branching
to Los Angeles and San Diego, and that
necessarily implies the route by way
of Holtville.
The force of circumstances is daily
allying this valley more closely with
San Diego as against Los Angeles, and
year by year the alliance will grow
more pronounced This is mainly be
cause the vast majority of the people
of Los Angeles are indifferent to the
valley, while in San Diego the entire
populace is cultivating the good graces
of the people of Imperial valley and
preparing for the day of more inti-
mate relationship.
There are few people in Los Ang-
eles who appreciate what this valley
means to that city, and they are WORK
ing to secure better means of com
munication, but they are meeting with
very little encouragement. The city
that has shown enterprise enough, at
a cost of millions, to build the Owens
river aqueduct has not the discernment
to see that intimate relationship with
this valley is of as great importance
Possibly there will be a change, and
Los Angeles may vet do something to
match the splendid work of San Diego
and when it does SO there will be grea.
need for the highway. But the need
will be for a road leading to the pass
through the sand hills and not for
the Mammoth wash route.

DEMOCRATS. WILL
l YOU STAND FOR THIS.

You are a Democrat. You say yet,
believe in a progressive policy.
Louis Paul Hart, Democratic candi
date for state senator. was here Sat
urday. Personally he is a fine fellow
and a good citizen. but he gave ou:
a card on which was printed: En-
dorsed by unanimous vote of Republi-
can county central committee of Or
ange county"
William Kettner, Democratic nomi-
nee for congress from this district, is
being boosted by the same class of
Republicans.
Woodrow Wilson, Democratic nom;
nee for the presidency, is also en-
dorsed by the same class of Repub-
licans
You know what it means. You know
that for years the Republican party
of California was dominated by one
of the worst political machines in the
country, and you know that machine
was smashed to smithereens by the
rank and file of the Republican party
and you know it is that same set of
bosses from whom the control of the
party was wrested that is now trying
to carry Republicans over bodily Il
the Democratic party. and your party
leaders are today courting those dis
of the Republican party, and your can
didates are Haunting in your face the
ex-bosses.
You are a Democrat. Do you pro
pose to support candidates for office
who glory in the fact that they are
supported by the discredited Repub-
lican machine?
You may say that you are willing
your candidates should take support
wherever they can get it. But don't
you know that every man who han,
dies tar soils his hands? Don't you
know that every office holder Is under
the dominance Of the men q whom
he owes office
Here Is a chapter o. recent Califor.
mia history. Theodore Bell was n,
most conspicuous Democrat in Califor,
MA. He was the great progressive
leader Of your party. Then he ran a
Z Democrat against J5hnson FOR th'
Fovernorship The old Republican ma.
chine had lost control Of the party. and
u went bodily to Democratic Bell. H
was al the same time candidate Of tbs
progressive" Democrats and the re,
dictionary Republicans, just a. toda,
Wilson for president. Kettner for con
gress and Hart for state senate are
the candidates for progressive" Demo
Gratis and reactionary Republicans.
Ana what was the result. Tarnish ed
ny the ex-bosses Of the Republican
party whose support he courted, your
party this year kicked him out Of yonr
party.
But Theodore Bell was a victim ot
circumstances. 1t was an utter I'm
possibility for him to take the support
of the EXPOSES and retain his clean
illness. just as today your party can

wateflogged hulk of the schooner
with her husband on board take, a
