| George L. Campbell is a can
Ididate for sheriff.
There are nine other candi-
dates for sheriff, but there are
a large number of people in the
VALLEY for whom the candidacy
of Mr.. Campbell has a special
personal appeal.
| In the first place, George
Campbell is a dead square
shooter" There is not per-
son, man or woman, whom Mr..
| Campbell ever wronged. There
is not a person with whom he
ever broke faith. It cannot be
said that he ever failed to keep
a promise, nor is there of record
a situation in which it. appears
that he was not guided by his
highest sense of right.
| What are the considerations
upon which George Campbell
may base a claim for public
office?
One Of them is a long record
| Of unselfish service. There has
seldom been a project for the
benefit of the community in
which the name of George
Campbell was not among the
first on the list. And for
George Campbell to be ION the
list means a full support with
MS money and his personal ef-
ffoYt i It means everything that
'iis III him until the thing gets
| done. There are no half way
measures about Mr.. Campbell
F1e doesn't get committed tc
| anything unless he is satisfied
shat it is right and then he is
FOR it, and he is for it to the
finish.
What is there to make any
one believe that Mr.. Campbell
| would make a good sheriff?
Essentially, this belief is bas-
| ed upon the manner in which
he embodies the qualities which
go to make a good sheriff. He
lis a clean-hved, high principleG
citizen. He has nerve PLUS.
People have seen Mr.. Camp
bell in many situations and he
is not afraid. He has courage,
physical, and what is of far
greater Importance, moral
courage. He has lived and he
Knows men. He is leader. He
| naturally inspires a confidence
which gives quality to his lead
ership. He is the sort OF lead
er who could man the force
with a loyal staff of deputies
who would maintain his ideals
and his standards of service.
George Campbell is a man of
such sterling loyalty himself
that a deputy would be loyal
| to him even if he were disloyal
by nature and were never loyal
to anyone else.
George Campbell is a man OF
the people. He has sympathy
with all of their problems be-
cause he has suffered the same
things that others have suffer-
ed. During a dozen years or
more, Mr.. Campbell has not
been out of contact with the
farmer and the laborer who
have been making Imperial val
ley go. During all of these
years he has conducted an old
fashioned, general merchandise
store. He has sold the people
groceries and when they could
MT pay, he has GIVEN the
people groceries. No one but
George Campbell himself
knows how many thousands OF
dollars worth Of groceries he
| has distributed to people who
could not pay. And all this
time he has lent a sympathetic
ear to all of their troubles. No
| one in the Valley knows more
intimately the heart of the
people.
For the civil part Of the sher-
iff's duties, Mr.. Campbell has
a foundation Of business sense
and business experience. 1t is
largely a matter of keeping a
going business going, and
George Campbell could do that.
And 80 here you have the
case Of George Campbell. 1t is
distinctly human. Most Of the
rest of US are human. So far
as the people react to a human
appeal they will find fellow
ship in the claims Of this can
oidate for the office of sheriff.
