HICKCOX COMES
OUT STRONG FOR
SWING AND DAM

Editors Note: Because Of
the concise and business-like
manner in which an interview
by Joseph Timmons with Ross
Hickcox recently published in
the Los Angeles Examiner,
presents the situation in the
Imperial Valley with respect to
to reelection of Congressman
Phil Swing, the Press is re-
publishing the article.
BY JOSEPH TIMM0NS
"Imperial County will give Phil
Swing an eight to one majority
over Sample, perhaps more Ross
Hickcox predicted today in an in
terview on the campaign on the
Boulder Canyon project issue.
Hickcox is the chairman of the
Republican County Central Com
mittee and a ''wise hombre" in
politics.
The valley is so near unani-
nous that people will be sur
prised when the vote is count
ed,'' Hickcox continued. .'Of
course, there are some who are
aaginst Swing; any man of
character makes some enemies,
and Swing has his. But the
great majority are his warm
and loyal friends. I have taken
particular pains to make in
quiries. and I am sure Sample
will not get even a respectable
vote in this county.
There is no revolt here, no
change of opinion rs to the Swing
johnson bill or the An-Ameriean
Canal. The fight is against Swing
and the Boulder Canyon project,
organized under the guise of the
Colorado River Control Club. ;
which is hiding behind pretense
that the fight is on t;e canal.
Signatures Explained
"Of the landowners who have
signed the club s care, many are
not residents or voters here and do
not know the problem. Others
signed because the card and litera-
ture of the club does not mention
the canal at all and they thought
the purpose was to promote the
Boulder Canyon project. not to at
tack Swing or the canal.
This opposition is largely
what is known as the Mexican
interests, composed of those
who fear that water will be
taken from the Mexican lands.
There vii lnever be interference
with their vested rights.
1T is not true that the substan-
ial men of the valley are against
swing and that only 'sort of rab-
'le' are for him. The business men
# FL Centre are for him, with but
ew exceptions. The same is true
f the other towns. Maybe eighteen
II twenty substantial men of the
ALLEY are with the opposition, but
they have always been against
swing.

ado River problem. Swing is on the
erge of accomplishing the great
ask on which he has worked for
ears and he must be reelected.
"If any one thinks Swing has
eglected the rest of his district,
It him ask the fruit growers of the
