is looked on by>the over-bled candl-
GATES as the rankcSt.
During all the years of their work
in Imperial county the publishers of
the Press have never solicited card
or an advertisement or job or print
ing from any candidate for office,
because they wished to avoid the
slightest appearance of coercion OF
the candidates. That is the policy OF
many, self-respecting newspapers.
That is debatable ground, however,
and the Press does not condemn those
newspapers which do, in decent way,
solicit such advertising. For its part,
the Press prefers not to do so, and
does not.
But sending an agent about from
candidate to candidate, hawking its
support" at $10O per support, is not
Ct dehatable character, and when this
great political edition appears 1t will
be interesting to note how many can
didates have permitted themselves to
be bled.

Judged by the Indignation that is
freely expressed among the candidates

few who surrender to the demand.
The proposition that is submitted
to the candidates is this:
The Progress will issue a special
political edition to be sent to all the
voters of the county, and will sup
