Are You From Missouri?

Missouri is known as the "Show Me"
state, and congressman from there will
probably have to be shown before they
will support the Kettner bill If I'm
perial Valley is to get it's al-American
canal and soldier settlement. it will be
necessary to secure all of the support
possible in congress.
Missouri representatives are proud of
their state, and having clannish spirit,
they will be particularly susceptible to
influence by former Missourians. Every
resident of Imperial valley who comes
from Missouri should write his former
congressman in the interest of the Kett
ner bill II IL 1853. Several of the con-
gressmen from this state are prominent
in Washington. They have served many
terms in congress, and one of them,
Champ Clark, was former speaker of
the house and a presidential possibility.
No stone should be left unturned to
secure the support of Missouri repre-
sentatives for the Valley measure, and
as many letters as possible should be
written to them.
If in doubt as to just what to say,
consult Secretary McIver at the Irriga
ton district office in Eel Centro, and he
will assist you in writing your letters,
or, in any other way you ask Not only
should you write to congressman but to
your friends in Missouri asking them
to use their influence with their repre-
sentatives. Letters to the representa-
tives should be addressed in care of the
House Office Building, Washington, ID.
