His STAR IS In
THE ASCENDANT-S
CLAIM FOR DYKE
Imperial Attorney is Gather
ing Much Support in His
CdnUass for County office,
VIII "Do His Duty

u
competent political observers
the star Of destiny is now stand
ing over the career of Harry N.
Dyke of Imperial. Many fac
tors appear to be contributing
to make Mr.. Dyke the next dis
trict attorney and the man on
the street corner is saying that
the big developments Of the
past week have been the drift
in the direction Of the Imperial
candidate.
In the first place Mr.. Dyke
gathers to himself naturally the
full force of all that sentiment
which favors one who has had
a fellowship in the suffering
and hardship which are a part
of the making of a new country.
Other things being at all equal,
the pioneer is for a pioneer. The
man who made his start in I'M
perial valley grubbing grease
wood and fighting rattlesnakes
is prone to think that the re-
wards of public place should
go to the man who had a part
in that sort of pioneering. Mc.
Dyke was one Of them and he
begins his campaign for district
attorney with a large following
! of those who were in the same
| situation.
Mr.. Dyke has had large ex-
perience as a public attorney.
He has been city attorney of the
City of Imperial for many
years. He went through the
strenuous days over there and
has safely conducted the city
through many a crisis. He has
handled situations calling for a
high quality of professional tai
ent and has never been found
wanting.
Mr.. Dyke has a very substan-
tial support among the people
of Ell Centre. People here who
are acquainted with him do
not forget the very important
service which he has rendered
in smoothing out and overcom-
ing the animosities which were
the aftermath of some OF the
neighborhood quarrels of the
early days. Perhaps no one
has done more to soften the
prejudices and jealousies which
grew out of the old county seat
contest and to bring the two
neighboring cities Of Imperial
and Ell Centre to a basis of
amity again. He has set an ex-
ample for everyone by forget
ting points of disagreement and
seeking cut a new basis of unity.
Mr.. Dyke appears to have
the confidence of people in all
stations and of every shade of
opinion. This is based upon the
fact that he has been free from
"entangling alliances" and has
a we'll established record for
fairness and a broad minded
sympathy for everyone's point
of view. This is based on an
understanding that it is seldom
that anyone is wholly right OF
wholly wrong and that one of
the fundamentals and the high
ideals of the legal profession is
that everyone shall have his
day in court.
The duties of district attor-
ney/ are twofold. He is attor-
ney for a great corporation, the
county of Imperial, with a
capital of over $60,000,000 and
he is prosecuting officer of the
county. AS already stated, Mr.
Dyke has an acquaintance with
the law governing official rela-
tions and has had many years
of experience in civil practice.
+ The entries in the race for
district attorney are now all
made. The people can look
over the field and weigh the
qualifications of Harry Dyke
against those which are claimed
for 1 ha ~ barc

Capt. Phillip W. knights of
EnUiable Var Record Is q
Candidate for County
SHrUeyOr

l. JllilD w IAIli llto 10 cllOCiI%
Of those for whom the veterans
of our various wars are asking
recognition and it would appear
that they are doing so with
more than ordinary justice.
Waving all training camp
privileges or any special con-
sideration and passing up a
commission based upon his pro
fessional experience in civil
life, Capt. Knights enlisted in
the ranks Of the corps of en-
gineers at the very beginning
of the war. Strictly upon his
own merits, he rose from the
ranks to the position of cap
tain, a remarkable and an en-
viable record of military ad-
vancement and recognition. He
spent a year in Europe and
there gained much valuable in
formation and experience,
much of which is of service in
solving problems of road con-
struction which have to be"met
in this country. In Europe Capt.
Knights had actual contact
with pavement construction
and road building and in that
way became grounded scientifi-
cally and practically in this
work in a way which cannot be
acquired from text books.
Since coming to the valley to
take charge Of the engineering
dept of the then Holt industries,
Engineer Knights has been
identified with many of the i'm
portant engineering features of
the valley. He is thoroughly
familiar with the complicated
system of local surveys.
While with the Holton Power
Co. and associated industries
Mr.. Knights had an important
part in the engineering and
construction of gas and electri-
cal installations.
In private practice he has
handled various irrigation pro-
blems for water companies. de-
signed and constructed mu-
nicipal and industrial improve
ments, and has had much other
experience common to private
engineering practice.
Mr.. Knights has recently
completed the preliminary sur
veys, plans and estimates of
the aerial tramway and stand
ard guage railroad Of the
Southern Calf. Marble & De
velopment Co. of San Diego. He
was formerly city engineer of
FL Centre and is an Associate
Member of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers, a tech
nical organization Of the high
est standing.
Prior to coming to the val
ley Mr.. Knights practice was
largely devoted to railroad,
mining and drainage work.
He has an excellent record
and is we'll fitted to. direct the
affairs of the office of county
surveyor.
With the candidacy of Capt.
Knights it is a question of be-
ing fully equipped by training
and experience and, in addition
to that, of having the senti-
mental claims which come from
service to the country in season
