A. w. SWANSON is
ELECTED NEW MAYOR

That no radical changes will be
made and that he will follow as close
ly as possible the administration pol
icy of his predecessor, John Norton,
was the statement given out by A.
w. Swanson, who was elected mayor
at the meeting of the city trustees
last night.
81 intend to propose an innovation
in the matter of providing an office
where anyone at any time may come
with a grievance and be heard" said
Mr.. Swanson.
81 intend to devote the greater part
of nv time to the office and if / can
do as well as Mr.. Norton / will be
satisfied. We have excellent men for
the different departments and the
oity can be assured of the best of
treatment"
The next meeting of the trustees
will take place on April %, at which
time the different appointive positions
will be filled. The city clerk, city re-
corder and marshal will be appointel l
at that time. Mayor Swanson stated
this morning that possibly some
changes would be made, but would
not specify just who would be
dropped. However, it is believed that
the city marshal position is the one
around which is centered interest.
Deputy Sheriff E. E. Cummings has
been informally asked to take the
place, with several other applications
having been filed with the board.
The following assignments were
made: Finance, R. B. Moore; streets,
A. w. Swanson; fire and police, Will
liam Egerer; health, E. w. Burger,
sewers, C. N. Perry.

WOODROW WILSON
CLUB PRESIDENT
MAKES STATEMENT

B. H. Lien, as president of the
Woodrow Wilson Club, is averse to
the idea that its organization was one
of two factions in the Democratic
ranks and states the clubs position
in letter handed this paper, which
is as follows: .e/
'If the party who inspired the item
headed Democratic Dinners" pub
lished in Saturdays Press, will in
form the crank and file" who is au-
thority for the statement that there
are two factions in the Democratic
party, and also inform us when, where
and by whom the Thomas Jefferson
Club was organized, he will assist
in clearing up and making known
the mysterious author of the two
unsigned published calls. for Jeffer
son dinners, the last of which was to
be pulled off April 14-an event to.
which many of us had hoped to get
an invitation, but which we did not
receive, and if the elite did have a
meeting on that or any other date
it is not generally known.
"The item goes on the state: The
Thomas jefferson Club made no at
tempt to disrupt the Woodrow Will
son organization, but the latter came
to life Immediately after the forma-
tion of the former
"We are not aware that a Jeffer-
son Club has ever existed in the va
lev. and, if one does exist, why SO
mysterious? Why not take the "ran\
and file into your confidence, who NAV
be of some assistance to you, especi
ally on election day. If the club is
not in existence, how can the Wood
row Wilson Club disrupt something
that never existed?
"Your item also says that the
Woodrow Wilson Club came to life
immediately after the formation of
the jefferson Club. Be it known
that the Woodrow Wilson Club was
organized April II, 1912, at time
when it was not at all fashionable
to belong to the Wilson wing Of the
party in this valley. During the cam
paign that followed the Baltimore con-
vention the State Democratic Central
Committee authorized the officers and
executive committee of the Woodrow
Wilson Club to carry on the campaign
The members of said club raised all
the money necessary to defray the
expenses for speakers, literature, pos
tage and the paying for $500 Wood

mailed to the people of the valley.
that the club did splendid work, the
result of the election will bear wit
ness.
at is quite true that the Wood.
row Wilson Club will soon have q
meeting for the purpose OF laying
out work to be done until the Au-
gust primaries shall have chosen a
county central committee, which COM
mittee will relieve the club of di-
recting the 1914 campaign. During
the last month or so the Republicans
and Progressives have had several
meetings for the purpose of organi-
zation. Why, then, can't the Wocd-
row Wilson Club meet for the SAM
purpose without being charged will
Imperial Valley press., 1914-04-21

the attempt to disrupt the party? In
all fairness to the Wilson Club, whose
membership consists mostly of those
who are Democrats from choice rath
er than for personal gain, we ask
that he who in the future charges the
club with attempting to disrupt the
party will make his identity known.
