CALLED FROM THE
FIELDS TO SIT
in LEGISLATURE
Like Cuncinndtus of Old George
II. Davis is Summoned to
the Service of His
Country

Seldom, if ever, in the exper-
ience of Imperial county has
the public mind settled so auto
matically and so definitely up
on one man as the proper and
the preferable one for a parti-
cular office as has been demon
strated this year in the draft
ing Of George H. Davis for the
office of assemblyman. No one
in particular thought of Mr..
Davis; everyone seems to have
thought of him at the same
time as the right man to repre-
sent Imperial county in the leg
islature. Farmers, business
men, bankers and just ordinary
citizens have all taken occasion
to signify their preference for
Mr.. Davis as the best man avail
able to represent the people of
this valley at Sacramento.
Mr.. Davis talents and his
qualifications for this place
have been made conspicuous in
a dozen trials. He is prudent in
counsel and he is forceful and
persuasive in the presentation
of a question. He has the judg-
mcnt and the instinct to be-
right and then, in the venacular
of the street, he has the ability
to "put it across"
The next two years will per-
haps be the most critical per-
iod in all the history of Imper-
ial county. Many matters of
very great moment are pending
and they will call for wise ac-
ton, and they will call for
prompt and aggressive and
forceful execution. George Her.
rick Davis is a go-getter. He is
a man of nerve and determina-
tion and tireless energy. He
will do the things that need to
be done and do them right then.
Mr.. Davis is a rare combina-
ton of idealist and practical
commonsense. He is a success
full farmer. He transplanted
to Imperial valley from the
state of Vermont and yet has
been able to wrestle successful
ly with the problems of an If
rigated country reclaimed by
main strength from desert.
He has a capacity for grasping
fundamentals and then forcing
troublesome details to conform
to the main issue. He is a heavy
taxpayer. He knows the load
of overhead charges in a new
country, and still he realizes
that there are certain things
that a progressive people cam
not do without and that the
sort of people that Imperial
valley must have will not do
without them. Not all of the
burden of taxation is expense.
A share of it-a very large
share of its capital and Mr..
Davis is economist enough to
know where the dividing line is.
AT Sacramento, George H.
Davis will have the advantage
of acquaintance with the lead
ers who shape the course of
legislation. Still more import
ant than that is the fact that
he will enter a friendly and
not a hostile atmosphere. On
occasions heretofore Imperial
county has suffered from the
fact that the game has been lost
before our representative sat
into it. The crowd at Sacra-
mento are a very practical peo-
pie. They are very human
people. They are influenced
by likes and dislikes, preju-
dices and friendships-even as
you and me. To obtain a maxi
mum of results an assembly dis
trict needs to capitalize the
personality of it's representa-
tive as well as his character and
understanding.

SERIOUS SITUATION
DEMANDS SOBER
THOUGHT OF VOTER
Officers Selected NOW Are For
-Four Years and Should
BE Best AUaiLdbIe
Men

Presumably the purpose of a
political campaign is to clear
the mental atmosphere and as
slst judgment in deciding; but
too often the effect is to confuse
and befuddle, and to lead judg-
ment away from the truth rath-
er more than toward it.
In the state of California the
term of office of county offic-
ers is four years. People are
to bear in mind that when they
cast their ballots on August 20
they are making their decision
not for the moment merely, but
for four long years. The thing
that they do must not be for
the qualification of passing
whim, but it is to remain the
wise thing for four years and it
must be such as they will be
pleased with for four years. The
passions of the moment will
soon cool and the voter will be
confronted with the result of
his action. The problem of the
moment is to make certain that
the thing that is done now we
shall take pride in and be pleas
ed with hereafter.
The selection of a district at
torney is perhaps the most SER
ious responsibility that will
confront the .elector at the pri-
mary election. The district at
torney is not merely one offic-
er-he is part of every office
in the court house. The district
attorney is nine county officers
all rolled into one.
When the public get ruling
on tax matter at the tax COL
lector's wicket or on any of the
thousand fiscal problems at the
auditors office, there is wrap
ped into that ruling a function
of the district attorneys office.
The clerk gives out something
on some one of the complex
matters that are in his keeping.
The chances are that he is mere
ly transmitting some opinion
that has been given to him by
the district attorney. And so
with the superintendent of
schools, the treasurer and the
others-they are guided ali the
time by the district attorney.
The board of supervisors
scarcely turn wheel without
the O. K. of the district attor-
ney. The district attorney is the
star actor of the show which we
see on the stage at the court
house.
Charles E. Scott is and has
been the advisor of the county
officers. AS chief deputy he is
assigned as counselor of all of
the administrative departments
of the county government. He
is doing that with ability now.
He knows. Do the people wish
to avail themselves of that ex-
perience or do they prefer to
take a chance in instructing
another. What do they wish to
do when they take into consid-
Grafton that they are deciding
for four years?
And also.
Mr. Scott made record as
trial deputy in the prosecution
of criminals. He has an analy-
tical mind to weigh evidence
and discriminating mind to
search out and expose weak
points in the opposing side. He
is a clever cross examiner and
an eloquent pleader. The cold,
Unconditional records of the SUI
perior court reveal a history of
success under Mr.. Scott's lead
ership. In selecting another
for district attorney the ques-
tion might enter as to whether
he would prove a successful
prosecutor. Charles Scott is a
successful prosecutor. Is this
fact worth taking advantage
