g. b. CerNti of Los Angeles At
tempts to Secure Information
to BE Used in Legal Fight
OUer School Question.

Information, presumably to be
used in legal fight to force the en-
trance of colored children into. the
white schools in the city is being
gathered by f. B. Ceruti, a Los An
geles colored lawyer whS has been in
the city for several days.
Ceruti has questioned County Su-
perintendent of Schools Buel Enyeart
at length on some of the phases of the
question and has also questioned Dis
trict Superintendent A. p. Shibley OF
the city schools.
Statements that the colored people
were preparing for another legal fight
to force entrance into the schools have
been current for several days but eff
forts to locate the lawyer retained by
them were a failure until this morn
ing. 1t is said that he is we'll supplied
with money.
Coincident with the revelation that
another legal battle is contemplated
come renewed accusations linking Bur
ritt S. Allen with the entire question
and the recent statements made by
him to colored politician which
would lead to conclusions not partic-
ularly relished by the Caucasion voters
in the community. FvF e.

JUDGE SWING
IN FIN Al
APPEAL TO
VOTERS
From San Diego Where He
is Ending a Long Cam
paign Imperial Valleys
Candidate Asks Local VOt-
ers to Support Him.

From San Diego where he is just
ending a very successful campaign,
Judge Phil, d. Swing, Imperial Val
ley's candidate for congress, today
sent the following appeal to I'm
perial county voters:
10 the People of Imperial Valley:
Owing to the great territorial ex-
tent of this congressional district and
the limited time at my disposal for
covering it, this campaign is drawing
to a close without my being able to
personally canvass Imperial Valley.
However you will readily appreciate
| am sure, the necessity for my spend
ing the time allotted to me, in those
parts of the district where | am least
known even to the extent of absenting
myself from my home county.
From every part of the dstric:
where I have been come most encour
aging reports, but l want you to be-
lieve me when l say that l would
rather have the support and approval
of my own people, who know me best
and lose the election, than to win it
and not have the respect and conf
dence Of my friends and neighbors.
But for the people of Imperial Val
ley, l would never have entered this
contest and without the loyal and un-
stinted support of the fight l could
never have hoped for success. To you
l owe great debt of gratitude-a
debt that l can only repay by devot-
ing my best efforts to your service
and to your cause.
You are confronted with a grave
and serious problem and Imperial Val
ley can never truly come into its
own until that problem T. riek tlv
and permanently solved. To that task
| dedicate all that l have of force and
energy and intelligence, to the end
that your interests may be advanced
and your rights protected.
If elected l shall 60 into office the
snecial representative of no man or
set of men, pledged to no particular
faction or interest but free and un
tramelled to work for your best in
terest. In Imperial Valley as in the
whole district I shall hold myself ac-
countable to the people and to them
alone.
On this pledge l sumbit my candi-
dacy to you people of Imperial Valley
among whom l have lived and labored
for more than thirteen years, relying
with confidence on your layalty and
friendship for favorable verdict in my
behalf.
