II"S THE SAME ISSUE

1 There seems to be some confusion
in the minds of a portion Of the voters
regarding the election of a congress
man from this district, though it is
difficult to understand why this should
be so.
There are three departments of gov
ernment, legislative, executive and ju-
dicial. 1t is the duty of the judiciary
laws. Through the nature of its work.
the judiciary department is -parti-
san in its scope-or ought to be, at
least.
But the legislative and executive de-
partments of government have to do
with the nature of the laws. 1t is
essential that they shall cooperate in
the passage and enforcement OF law.
In a national election, therefore. the
rule is very plain that one can only
express his political ideals by voting
for congressman of the same prin-
ciples as the man one votes for for
president. To vote for a congressman
of different party from the man sup
ported for the presidency is to make
one vote cancel the other.
In this district there are a few who
are working diligently for Kettrne,
the Democrat, though supporting
Roosevelt, the Progressive. But there
is no reason why this valley should
support Mr.. Kettner, if the people here
believe in the ideals of the Progressive
party for, as has been said, his most
prominent supporters are the reaction
aries of the defunct Republican ma
chine, who are using him as an in
strument for defeating the Progressive
cause.
AS a matter of fact, things having
shaped as they have, there is no more
certain way to rebuke the Progressives
than to elect the man whom the reac-
tionaries have chosen to support for
congress.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-10-25

accepted the cid of the bosses, pos.
sibly because he could not enter polt-
tics through any other door. The bosses
at Chicago were against Roosevelt
personally. 1t was the things he stood
for, and the mettle with which he had
fought in the past for the things he
thu n stood for. His nomination in the
Republican national convention meant
the gradual emancipation of the Re-
publican party from boss rule; and
boss rule meant that while public con-
tracts and public printing went to the
bosses personally, larger rewards went
to the big interests behind them. Had
the bosses believed that they could
have subdued Roosevelt to their pur-
poses, as they had nodded Taft, there
would have been an open" convention
IN Chicago, as there was an "open"
convention at Saratoga and at SYRIA
cuse.
1t is time for a break up in party
lines. More crimes have been commit.
ted and more criminals exalted in the
name and by the talisman of party
devotion than is good for this coun-
try. Washington in his farewell ad-
dress inveighed against the spirit of
party. Il have already intimated TO
you" he said, "the dangers of parties
in the state, with particular reference
to the founding of them on geographi-
cal determinations. Let me now take
a more comprehensive view, and warn
you in the most solemn manner against
the baneful effects of the spirit of
party generally"
The same impulse, the same unset
flshness, the same fervor which saw
the birth of the Republican party, sees
the birth of the Progressive party. II
is time for a house cleaning in the
nation. We aim to carry forward the
ideals of Washington, the faith of Lin
coin, and the constructive criticism of
jefferson. Any man who wishes 20
achieve fame nowadays has only to
hurl some fresh epithet or diatribe
against Roosevelt. The great metro
politan newspapers will give him front
page space. These bitter newspaper
attacks that assail our leader we take
proudly to ourselves. They are part
of our precious inheritance. Il do
the best 1 know how-the very best
cam" said Lincoln, "and 1 mean 10
keep doing so until the end. If the
end brings me out right, what is said
against me won't amount to anything.
If the end brings me out wrong, ten
angels swearing l was right would
make no difference"

THAT Los ANGELES
/ BSCRIPTION

After working for weeks to raise
funds for the construction of the high
way which is designed to connect Los
Angeles with this valley, with which
it has trade of fully five million dollars
a year. Los Angeles up to the latest
report has raised $50, $50. The can
vass" of the last day reported showed
contributions of S295.
When one notes that San Diego, with
about an eighth of the population,
raised $4,000 before there was any
publicity for its road to the valley, a
marked contrast is seen.
From the difficulty Los Angeles is
experiencing in raising 100000 to aid
in the construction of this highway
the Indifference of that city to any
thing that lies beyond its boundaries
seems apparent.

THE NEED OF 4 NEW PARTY
IBy {. u. Connolly

Was there a real call for the Pro-
grcssive party, or was it a cloak for
the personal ambition of one man? Mr..
Roosevelt, as every one admits, could
have been renominated in 1908, and It
is a safe assertion that he could have
been reelected. He refused the office,
though he had held but one elective
term. It is absurd to say that per
sonal glory or overweening ambition
which he spurned in 1908 possesses him
in 1912 He was then in office, with

~ L probably is unnecessary for
the Press to speak Of the remarkable
series Of articles this paper is printing
from the pens of the most eminent
writer's of the day. It is safe to say
that such series of articles was never
before presented in a political cam

agreed that there Is a great silent vote
TO be cast this year, and the silent
man is an enigma to the politicians
until his vote is cast.
Among the silent voters this year are
millions of wage earners, and from
what can be learned, there is some
justification in looking for great
landslide of this vote to Roosevelt, but
this is confessedly at best but a guess
and all men have the privilege Of
