If You Haven't

With less than 200 votes cast
up to 1 O'Clock this afternoon
at the city polling places, it looks
as if Ell Centro Republicans were
taking a. lot for granted.
The polls will be open until
7 clock tonight and it behooves
every loyal (. .. P. voter to
register his conviction that the
president is his choice for re-
election.
Republican voters ip Ell Gen.
tro and environs, it is up to you
to do your duty and show that
you are actively behind President
Coolidge and the administration.
Don't wait on the other fellow
to do his part. Go to the polls
and vote yourself. Reports from
all over the state show that over
confidence reigns in the minds
of many Republicans and tomor-
rows results may shock some of
them by not showing majority
vote for Coolidge.
Johnson is lost issue. A vote
vote for him is a lost vote, and
certainly the part of common
sense and wisdom would be to
poll an overwhelming vote for
the leader who has shown what
he can do.

Anna Hyman, 23s shot down by her
infuriated lover on a crowded down
town treet, will recover, physicians
at the Angelus hospital said today,
after the Young woman had spent a
comfortable night.
Miss Hyman was shot twice, one
bullet entering her jaw and emerg-
ing near the base of the skull. AL
though the injury was very serious,
it will not result fatally, it is be-
lievcd.
Thomas Dooley, 80, an inmate of
the Sawtellc soldiers hospital, is
in Jail, charged with, the crime. Wit
nesses said Dooley approached Miss
Hyman at the corner of Fifth and
Hill streets shortly before midnight,
as<she was walking home with four
friends.
$50 away, don't bother me, j." the
girl was heard to say.
Without replying, witnesses said,
DColey pulled a revolver, fired four
shots at close range, and calmly
walked across the street, where he
was captured by spectators.
Friends of Miss Hyman told au-.
thorities Dooley had been paying
hervardent attention during the past
few weeks. His love-making, they
said, was not welcomed by the girl.

now in effect for the pTeSerrt..----lhis
| decision WAS announced yesterday
| afternoon at a meeting of the board
; of supervisors following Il recon-
| mendation to this effect made by
w. b. Coberlv representing the
County Protective Committee, rela-
tive to the hoof and mouth disease
epidemic.
Mr.. Cobcrlv, who had just re-
turned from Los Angeles where, in
company with George Anderson and
Lee Siebcrt, other members of the
committee, he attended It meeting
of committees of Southern Califor
MIA, reported on~this gathering.
The speaker stated that he believ-
ed considerable pressure had been
brought to bear upon boards of sup
crvisors in counties where there are
many mountain resorts urging the
lifting on the ban in districts, free
from diseaac. He pointed out that
Imperial had no such problem, the
whole need of this county centering
in keeping the disease out, so that
the contaloupcs could be moved.
Members of the poultry depart
ment of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau also appeared before the
board and requested the changing
of the ordinance prohibiting the en-
try of poultry coops and egg cases
im,o. the county. This regulation is
working untold hardship on the
poultry rdlsers of the valley, accord
ing to \. f. Cheney, chairman OF
that department.
Mr.. Cheney stated that at the be
ginning of the hot weather thou
sand of fat poultry are shipped to
Los Angeles. These birds, if kept
here, will perish with the heat.
1t is therefore necessary to re-
turn the coops from Los Angeles
and other cities and use them over,
as the price of new coops now call
ed for is prohibitive. Proper dis
infection of such containers was
recommended by Mr.. Cheney, A. c.
Rath, J. L. Pack, A. ByerS and
nr. S. +. Loffcr, and resolution
WAS passed by the supervisors to
this effect.

Unusually Light Vote Being Cast at Calf Primaries
SMALL NUMBER
VOTERS AT Ell
CENTRIC POLLS
Reports From Over State
Show Very Little
Interest

One of the lightest presidential
primaries on record in Imperial
county is the one drawing to
close this afternoon. Reports from
voting precincts in FL Centre and
surrounding vicinities show that an
unusually small percentage of regis
tered voters had east their ballots
up to two o o'clock this afternoon
and unless there .is an unprece-
dented squirt before closing time at
seven tonight there will be little
work for election boards.
The heaviest vote recorded in any
of the city precincts up to one
, G clock this afternoon was east at
the Cocopah club in the sixth pre-
| clnct. There were "A votes regis
tered there. The next largest vote
was made in precinJ; four at the
city hall where there were 30 votes
registered. There were "a votes
east at the county Jail in precinct
! three, II votes at the Wilson school
in precinct two, and 10 votes at
the Valley Lumber company offices
III precinct eight. Precincts one,
five, and seven were not checked
up, but they were known to be light.
Although banks and county and
city offices were closed today, there
is little other indication in the busi-
ness sections that this is the pre-
sidential primaries day. Election
talk has been very quiet and tits
hard to find the usual knots of par
| tisans ON street corners.
{ Opinion seems almost unanimous
that Coolidge will be the favorite
IN Imperial county by big odds.
Election boards at the various
/ precinct polling stations have had
an easy day and only an occasional
voter has appeared to ask for one
of the ballot blanks. 1t is expected
that there will be slight furry
after four or five o clock when of
fices and shops close.
