DOUBT ARISES
AS I Q F A It
.0F COUNTY
JUDGE BILL
Time Limit for California
Governor to Sign Now
Drawing Near-AnOther
Energetic Candidate.

The governor has not yet signed
the bill creating a second department
of the Superior court for Imperial
county and speculation is rife as to
its fate. A certain county official
was in telephone conversation with
the executive secretary of the COVER
nor, but no information on the sub
ject was Forthcoming.
The constitutional time limit for
the governor to approve the bill is
nearing and some fear is expressed
, that it may go by the board by way
Of a pocket veto.
A new factor has entered the field
for judicial honors in the person of
Attorney Walter Kibbey. 1t is said
that he has secured the backing of
a great many members of the bar
and in addition has strong friends at
court in Sacramento and Los Ange-
les.
The other two prospective candi-
dates, whose names have been most
prominently Observation-Disclosures At
torney E. r. Simon and Phil D. Swing,
attorney for the Irrigation District
are RESTING ON their cars. In fact
the rumor has spread the rounds of
political circles that both have
dropped their energetic campaign for
The position and are now only recep-
hive but Quiescent candidates.
However, the county will have a
special sessions judge to aid Judge
fTanklin j. Cole in clearing up the
congested calendar. Judge Pat R.
Parker of Mono county is expected
to arrive here in time to take the
bench on next Monday morning.
1t is planned for him to remain
here about three weeks and to dis
pose of a number of both civil and
criminal cases.
