MUST STAY FOR
BOND ELECTION

Those in charge of the campaign 1or
the courthouse bonds, which are to be
voted upon June 12, say it is impera-
tive for all who possibly can to stay
in TIE valley till after the date and
vote for the proposition. The greatest
concern of the leaders is to keep the
people of this part of the valley and to
get them to go to the polls. One prom
inent in public affairs of city and
county said yesterday that this is one
instance where the women of El Cen
tro can do their city q real service. 1t
has also been suggested that the women
can do u great deal to arouse interests
and enthusiasm for the proposition by
talking it up on all occasions and as
they 90 about to social or club affairs.
'But the main thing is to get our
people, men and women to stay by the
the valley until after June l2,' said
one of the committee.

SUGGESTION FROM

In May 1912, The Press carried the
following paragraph at the head of its
editorial column:
"The summers of Imperial Valley are
four months long. They are healthy,
but not particularly pleasant. Most
sections have winters four months
long. They are healthy, but not partic-
ularly pleasant. The difference be-
tween this valley and cold country
is, that here the soil yields millions of
dollars worth of produce during the un-
pleasant four months, and the Geld
country produces nothing

WASHINGTON STATE
!. DEMOCRATS ABUSTLE
Special Dispatch to Tie Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TACOMA, Wash, April 29.-The
campaign has been formally opened
in Washington state. with the demo-
Gratis taking the offensive. and the
farmer-labor party the unknown fac
tor in the struggle. The recent visit
OF Cordell Hull, national chairman
of the democrats, tended to create
spirit of optimism, and at the same
time gave the local followers an OPP
,portunity to plan the line of attack
TO be followed in the senatorial and
congressional battles.
Mr.. Hull attacked the republican
tariff and supported the league of ma
tions. He fired the opening gun for
his party and flushed the republicans.
in attacking Congresses record of the
last two years.
National Committeeman Guy F.
Kelly of Tacoma told the republican
state central committee of Seattle
there was a possibility the republic
cans would lose one of five congress-
men, due to the criticism of Congress.
MayOralty Races Exciting.
The recent mayoralty campaigns in
Seattle and Tacoma have created con-
siderable stir in political circles.
Tacoma broke all previous records by
the percentage of the registered vote
which. went to the polls and nomi-
mated State Senator A. v. Fawcett, a
former democrat and now pro-
gressive republican, for mayor by
45 per cent of the entire registered
strength of tho city. Fawcett's prin-
cipal opponent was a supporter of
the farmer-labor congressional ticket
two years ago.
In Seattle the voters nominated
State Senator Daniel Landon. pro-
gressive- republican, and DR.. Edwin J.
Brown, socialist Seattle politicians
are now predicting that Brown stands
strong chance of being elected
mayor.
Washington this year elects it's
county officials for four years instead
Of two. Under the present direct pri-
mary law, this does not favor the
party in power and will have a
marked effect upon the congressional
primaries. The tendency is already
swinging toward a large field Of can
didates.
Senator Poindexter, despite a hue
and cry against him over the New
berry vote, ia still without strong op-
position. Efforts on the part of the

sheer devilment, would turn the
chickens into his thrift garden, over
which he had spent many weary
hours. She likewise declined to mend
