Last Word To You
AH-American Canal
Voters On Issues

Apparently the Fawcett crowd got an awful kick
from yesterdays pointed editorial in The Press evil
denced by the frohing at the mouth and Childish dis
cussion of the issues contained in great scattering of
gush in their morning organ.
And they have reason for their cold feet they wit
ness their hopes of success SLOWLY but surely dwindng
THEY M KNOW that their Candidate stands today commit
ted to NO POLICY in spite of the fact that just month
ago the of the District registered decision in fa
Of an ALI4-AMERICAN CANAL -----r--
THEY KNOW, in fact, that Fawcett is simply out
to win making promises and no definite pledges to
the of the District who determined that their
WILL registered at the contract election shall not be
overridden.
THEY KNOW that Fawcett has no policy on any
thing. He has confined his entire campaign to gum
shoe politics, free cigars (at that we'll have to admit
theyr pretty good for smoked sort of catch
as-catch-can (meaning votes) method.
FaWcett says he will get you water when you need
it, but he don't tell you how We suppose he is
of modern Aladdin, who will rub the magic lamp,
the genie and command the water to gush forth He
little possible and that is next to nothing about
the All-American canal.
Fawcett in the many years that he has served as di
rector and president of Imperial Water Company No. l.
has had golden opportunity to be leader in the fight
for the A-American canal What has he done? Nothing
II it had not been for the statement issued just before
election by ALL Of the directors of the company you
would not have yet known how Mr.. Fawcett stands on
this all-important subject.
Do not overlook this fact He is pledged to no policy
has refused least neglected to state what he will dc
if elected, and evades the issue completely on the All
American canal by the pert of the term existing
conditions" Conditions might CHANGE the day after
election in Mr.. Fawcetts opinion There's "kck" both
ways.
What you voters want is not man who is for the
A-American scheme under "existing conditions" but
one who is AI4L-Ame1ican under ALL CONDITIONS.
The Fawcett crowd state right magnanmousy that
they decline to get into discussion at this late hour The
facts that they afraid to- Too much light their
side hight expose the whole weak structure on which
they and their candidate standing.
Fawcett-ma1k this, voters-is a candidate without
policy one without pledge to YOU his sovereigns
in this water matter; of those superior individuals
who believes that his judgment should rule his of
fical acts rather than the judgment of YOU who pay
the bills and who must stand responsible for the acts of
YOUR directors
One of Fawcetts chief supporters (name can be fur
nshed if asked for) has been stating that Brown should
be defeated because of his efforts in the State legislature
to restrict Hindu immigration and the Hindu cornerng
OF the agricultural life of this community.
If this supporter is getting his tips from Fawcett on
this question of Hindus and Japanese vs. Americans,
then you voters judge how Mr. Fawcett might stand
on the still more important question of Mexico the I'M
peria Valley.
Ponder these facts fully, Mr.. and Mrs. Voter; then
60 to the polls tomorrow between the hours of a. m.
and p. m, and cast your vote for
j. STANLEY BROWN. WHOM YOU KNOW AND
THE ENTIRE VALLEY KNOWS, IS ALL-AMERICAN
ALL THE TIME.
The future of the Valley rests in your hands in this
election more than you realize make mistakes.
