Board Associates of Holt
Urge His Return to Office

That the reelection of Leroy Holt director of the
Imperial Irrigation District is of vital Importance is the
unqualified opinion of the balance of the board of drec
tors-C. D. Manning, Roy D. McPher1in J. S. Nickerson
and j. M. Edmunds-who have presented the following
signed statement to The Press:
ut is very essential that Leroy Holt be returned to
the office Of director of the Irrigation District at this
time owing to the fact that there is man in Inn

selves His long experience in business and his high

OF HOLT

In yesterdays Press was published
nine reasons, with one hundred sig
natures, why Leroy Holt should be
elected member of the Irrigation
District Board. The paper which
bore the signatures was circulated by
Mr.. Banta and Mr.. Fawcett and I
presume they are the authors of the
reasons and perhaps are the only
ones of the 100 signers who read
the reasons and knew what they were
signing. In addition to getting 100
signers, they also got many refu-

The barbecue that the people of

for Azhderian is, not only to see that
