JUDGE PHIL SWING
THROWS HAT IN
RING TODAY

hereby announce my candidacy
:. FOR the republican nomination for
congress. The three big problems
confronting this district are: The
development of the resources of
the Colorado River for tie benefit ;
of American lands and American
citizens adequate protection for the
citrus industry, and the continued
development of San Diego's harb0r.
am whOle-heartedily in favor of
each Of these propositions
PHIL d. SWING.
With this short statement Judge
Phil D. Swing formally announced his
candidacy for the United States con-
gress today, and with it comes the
opportunity that Imperial Valley has
been awaiting for some time.
Never before in the history of
Southern California politics has q sit
uation such as the present developed
that makes it possible for the county
having the smallest number of voters,
to nominate congressional candi-
date, and at the same time have as
surances of strong support from ad-
joining counties.
Although Mr.. SWINGS candidacy
has been in the mill for some time the
announcement could not be made until
today when Congressman Kettner
issued a formal statement to the
newspapers of the district stating
that he was positively not a candi-
date for denomination.
At an informal meeting held last
evening at the Ell Centro Chamber Of
Commerce the opinion was emphatic
ally expressed that Imperial Valley
strongly favored the proposition of
having its own congressman and that
the valley would solidly back Judge
Phil d. Swing.
The following resolution was
adopted:
Be it resolved, by those present that
a meeting of the Associated Chambers
Of Commerce Of Imperial county. be
requested for the specific purpose Of
considering the advisability Of having
O candidate from Imperial county to
represent the Eleventh Congressional
district; this meeting to be non-poli-
tical; the topic to be discussed to be
considered from business standpoint
only; that the meeting Of the Asso-
ciated chambers for the above purpose
be called at their earliest convenience;
and that every chamber be requested
to have it's full quota Of representa-
|tives present at this meeting.
John Stockberger of Calexico, the
chairman of the meeting appointed
C. S. Hill, president of the Seeley
Chamber Of Commerce, and Bert Per-
rim, of the Calexlco Chronicle, to draw
the above resolution; Jasper Travers
of Ell Centre moved the adoption OF
the above resolution and ]. d. Mough-
mer of Seeley seconded the same; the
motion carried.

Calexico Forger
To San Quentin

The case of Tommie More, a French
Canadian, for forging a check in Cal
eXico. came before Judge Cole in the
Superior Court this morning. 1t was
alleged that Moore and friend were
in MeXicali and having gone "broke,"
they forged check for $50 which
Moore tried to pass at the Calexico
National bank. He was arrested at
the bank. Moore pleaded guilty and
asked for probation, which was denied
and Judge Cole sentenced him to San
Quentin for l to IA years.
Probation Officer A. w. Swanson
states that there is an unusual amount
IF forging going on in the valley and
that it must be stopped. He says that
great many young fellows 60 to
Mexicali, lose their money and become
desperate enough to try to forge
checks, knowing full we'll that they
will be caught. There have been sew
eral forging cases before the Superior
court in the last month and almost all
Of them have been veHy thoroughly
prosecuted by the district attorneys

crimes. "This should be a good ex-
ample for all young men in the val
ley" says Officer Swanson.

Hon. Judge Phil d. Swing is one of
the most widely known and successful
attorneys in Southern California. For
years he has been prominently identi-
fed with the industrial and agricultur-
al development of Imperial Valley.
Judge Swing was born in the Gate
way city to Southern Calforna-Sa San
Bernardino - November 80, 1884.
where he received his early education,
later graduating from Stanford uni
versity with honors in 1905. He was
admitted to the practice of law in 1906.
In 1908 he came to Imperial county
where his knowledge of law and poll
tical activities won immediate recog-
milton for him. From 1911 until 1915
he served as district attorney, after
which he became attorney for the I'M
perial Irrigation district, the largest
district of it's kind in the United
States. He played very active part
in the introduction of the Kettner bill
to congress, the passage of which will
mean the development of thousands
more Of fertile farms and ranches in
Imperial county. His services at
Washington in behalf Of the Imperial
Irrigation district are considered in
