ALLEN REPLIES
TO STATEMENTS
IN TIL: PRESS

Burritt S. Allen today replied to an
article PUBLISHED in yesterdays Press.
Mr. Aliens reply, as will De seen,
evades entirely taking a stand on the
question involved, and still leaves the
voter in the dark as to his attitude.
The reply:
Ell Centro, Oct. %. 1920.
NJ. n. D. Davis,
Editor of the Imperial Valley Press.
Dear Mr.. Davis:
In reply to the statement by the
returned 10 FL Centro yesterday in
issue Of Your paper, wish to make
The following reply, and further to
,hank you fer the courtesy Of allow
.ng lie space in your paper through
which to make such reply.
In the first place, it was evidently
impossible for me to reply to that
article until after it appeared as /
would have been merely shooting in
the air. They (Mr. Conklirg and his
friends have singled me out for
0stracism because a political club of
colored citizens has endorsed my can
didacy for Judge of this county. They
do not state the fact that Judge Cole,
Judge Swing, Judge Craig, Samuel
ShOrtridge, Warren G.. Harding and
Calvin Coolidge were endorsed at the
same time and place. They find no
fault with the endorsement of this
club CT Judge Cole and others. DO
hey impute any such attitude to Judge
Cole or SWinE or The others as to me?
They do not. To them these endorse
mcnts are evidently fit and proper,
their only objection being that this
same club saw fit not to endorse Mr..
Conkling.
/ am Informed that Mr.. James
Glassford appeared at a meeting Of
this same club on Monday evening,
October 10Th, and stated to the color
ed peoplc there assembled that my
attitude in regard to segregation was
IDENTICAL with that Of Mr.. Conkling. /
am informed further from reports or
the street and from the Press article
in which Nh. Giassford and Mr..
Walker are quoted that my attitude
is exactly the opposite. 1t would seem
that my attitude on this question will
be the opposite to that Of the person
20 whom Mr.. Conkling or his friend
happen to be talking.
The evident purpose is 20 c,mpro-
mise ne 50 that ! am condemned by a
considerable number Of voters by
whatever | say, and Mr.. Conklng be-
ing in a position where he seems to
think he has nothing to lose but all
to gain, is attempting to make capital
out Of the fact that he was not en-
dorsed by the club.
The colorcd people have never ask
ed my attitude in regard to this qucs-
z ion on segregation and | have made
no promises 10 them or any one else
in regard to this or any other matter
whatsoever.
In view Of the evident animus Of
this attack ask all my friends not
10 be influenced by such wholly un-
just, untrue and unwarrantcd attacks
and to read my advertisements in tha
and other papers.

VOTE FOR
Burritt s. Allen
FOR JUDGE
OF Superior Court
TALK NO. 4.

The office of Judge is Of
greater Importance than the per-
sonal fortunes of any candidate
This of all offices should not be
considered as a political plum or
as a reward for services rem
dered in other capacities, nor as
a pension. We should select for
Judge a man having such char
acteristics and ability as a man
should have in whose hands
might be placed our FOR
TUNES, our HAPPINESS, and
perhaps our very LIVES.
HONESTY is q fundamental
requisite for Judge and must
be a component part of every
other attribute he possesses for
without ingrained honesty, the
greater his ability in every other
way, the greater menace he is
to the community.

LEATHER--Fancy Goods
Market Continues Quiet

Trading in the fancy leather mar
kets was decidedly meager yesterday,
with buying confined to a hand to
mouth character. All descriptions were
apparently devoid of new or interesting
features as a result Of the general
quietness. Tanners Of bag case and
strap leather spoke of the outlook with
their usual optimism, believing local
buying in manufacturing sources is be-
ing restricted principally by the i'm
pending strike of case and bag workers.
Outside quarters, however, are more
regularly contracting for limited lots
of the lower grade splits in preference
to the past policy of using buffings for
the cheaper priced cases, and some SELL
ers locally are expecting an improved
call along these lines from manufac-
tursrs specializing in vacation prod
ucts: Top grades Of standard lines
continue in strong position. but several
quarters, it is intimated, are willing
to shade prices on an average of cents

trading of approximately $50 sides

JEWELRY-Trade Displays
Ne,p Spring Styles

Spring styles of jewelry now being
displayed in the showrooms are quite
different from those shown last year.
Bead necklaces continue to be in good
demand, and jade is the leading color
this spring. There is touch of the
Oriental in all necklaces. Last spring
red was the favored color.
One manufacturer is displaying an
enormous lot Of these necklaces in both
round and odd shape beads. Complete
sets, consisting of beads, bar pins and
bracelets, in which the same design ap-
pears in all three, are also being shown.
Some Of the necklaces are beads and
links, while others are made entirely
of beads. Metal ornaments in round and
oblong shapes Of filigree work, when
combined with beads, make pretty
numbers, and q good demand is report
ed for these styles. The beads being
used are larger and are being set with
tiny stones, thus giving them the effect

that there must be change In the
style of coiffure before much interest
will be taken in the different shapes

being shown are mostly the long Egyp-

like weights. because a large French

Manufacturers also are specializing

ling silver and set with Frishon crystals.
A tiny chain serves as a safety guard.
These crystals are combined with other

eralds look we'll with these crystals, as

containing these stones are meeting
with good favor. The complete sets,
consisting of earrings, bar pin, brace

thing new and popular on the market.

FURS-Tight Money
Holding, UD Business

Many large fur dealers are OF the
opinion that If commercial money were
easier brisk business instead Of dull
ness would be apparent in the market.
Dealers tell numerous stories concern
ing manufacturing furriers who want
to purchase new stocks, but who cam
not finance these deals at present be-
cause Of the banking situation. One
dealer said yesterday that one. OF his
customers had practically closed deal
involving $4,000 worth Of muskrat
skins, but withdrew at the last minute
because he was unable or unwilling. to
meet the conditions laid down by his
banker.
In spite Of the dullness the market
is showing great flrmness In price.
The seasons catch is about ali col
lected now. Few more furs are coming
from Indiana and Ohio, while the ice
and snow in northern New York have
put an end to trapping there: The
skins arriving now. according to deal,
ers, are running poor in quality and

COTTONS-Ousside
Influence Affects Market

Cotton goods merchants are watch
ing the development Of the general
business situation more closely than
they arc the causes and effects in their
own industry. Large jobbcrs and con-
verters are convinced that the future
of the cotton goods business for the
next few months lies entirely In the
trend of general events and the opin-
ion Of the general public. Trade has
slowed up tremendously. according to
these men, but has not affected prices
to any considerable extent. Not only
have prices held firmly, but in many
directions, say the jobbers, it is i'm
possible to obtain goods. This Is par
ticularly true Of ginghams and wide
shcetings.
The most important development in
the general situation, according to the
5obbers and converters. is the eighteen
ing of the commercial money market.
Because Of this, retailers and jobbers
in the smaller cities have been COM
PEELED TO curtail their purchases.
In addition to this, the fear that the
extremely high prices cannot be passed
on to the public. is impelling some Of
the dealers to handle fewer goods.
