Imperial Valley press., 1918-08-05


, inspector stationed at Calexico, has
been recommended to Mayor Abbott
as successor to City Clerk Paul B.
Steintorf, who is called to military
service.
Mr.. Fee has been in the Valley but
short time but has made host of
warm friends. He knows all ABOUT
law and is possessor of all the re-
quirements needed to fill this office.
"Send a live bird to the legislature
from your county this time and get
on the map" writes State Senator Ed
Wolf to local friend from San Fran
cisco
Judge Bordwell is due in Imperial
Valley ere long. We have been hon
ored with visits by Governor Steph-
ems, Francis J. Heney and J. Q. Hayes.
The other four candidates had bet
ter nut in a quick appearance or
else we won't know they are in the
race.
Reports come from San Francisco
that jim Rolph has been made a fa-
vorite in the betting at the odds of
two to one against the field, not only
to receive both nominations, out to
he the next governor
and what yo' all know bout that? -
INQUIRED a dienified coiored individu-
al who had been listening to Joseph
F. Seymour's farewell remarks the
night the darkies We're entertained
with a street dance on Main street
Tn, coiored one was almost panic
stricken when Seymour shouted:
1--WE want you to fight like the
white men do"
Othcman Stevens, political scribe
of the Los Angeles Examiner, and a
staunch supporter of Cndidate Rolph
published the following item in his
column in yesterdays paper:
Mayor Rolph of San Francisco,
candidate for governor, spoke to ter
thousand people here abouts yester-
day. At noon he addressed the mer
of the Los Angeles Shipbuilding Com
pany. The men roisted him to the
shoulder Of volunteer carriers ano
took him through the yards and ht
drove a rivet in workmanlike way. H'
also addressed the men at the Nava
Base, and last evening he spoke a
the opening of the Allied War EN
position to several thousand persons
telling them what this exposition ha
done for San Francisco"
Which goes to show that Steve
has turned deaf ear to Mayor Wood
man of Los Angeles, who is being
quoted as saying that "any Southern
California man or woman who vote:
for a northern candidate is traito'
to Southern California" And on toI
of all this, Fred Churchhill, one o1
Rolph's assistant political manager;
in the Angel City, caps the clima>
when he says: There's be a lot o1
treason trials due after August 2S il
Mayor Woodman is right"
That's going some!
They had bitter congresslola
election over in Lower California las
Sunday (the Sabbath is the favoritt
day for excitement in MeXico). Th'
race was between Felix Mesa Leon
collector of customs of MeXicali, anl
Attorney Juan Velasquez of the sam'
burg. Senor Mesa Leon was elected
to congress by a narrow margin. NJ
knives were flashed, no pistols dis
charged and nobody killed.
Wouldn't it be great if we cOulc
attend one of thost old fashioned po
litical rallies in the town hall ant
listen to the opposing candidate
throw mud at each other? Thos'
were the balmy tines
