FINAL RESULTS
OF COUNTY ARE
ALL IN TODAY
TWo-Thirde Vote Cast
In This County Set
Record

Final results were received from
all the - precincts of Imperial
county today and presidential fig
ures tabulate as follows:
Republican 3452 votes.
Dcmocratic T57 votes.
Independents 2542 votes.
Prohibition 112 votes.
The results on the Is amendment
as printed in yesterdays issue of
the Press were not materially chang
ed by the few scattered votes of the
outlying precincts near the Colorado
River received today.
Congressman Swing, Chester Kline
FOR state senator and A. c. Finney
for assemblynIan from this district
carried the entire county,
rs they were practically voted III at
the primaries.
Chris Jackson as supervisor from
Brawley was unopposed and receiv-
ed tie post as did Roy w. Adams
of Imperial, who succeeds himself.
An interesting phase of the elec;
ton was that the total vote cast was
7lG6 votes out Of registration of
HOO. This figures out approx
mately q two,thirds vote, and is by
far the best record Imperial county
has ever made for herself in this re-
5pect. No doubt mach of this was
due to the city, county, state and ma
tional campaign carried ON by the
press, clubs, business men and
churches to get out record vote all
over the county.

FRIDAY, MAY l6. 1924

Paul winchester, a political wrlter,
nays his respects to U. ). Sena'e
weller in discussing the recent pr
mary election id. Maryland. He says
The rather farcical primaries are
,,ow over and the expected has hap
nened. at a useless cost to the o.a.e
of about one hundred Thousand W.
lars There was no doubt wnateve.
&c n the result of the Pres1dential
primary, which was confined TO 'ne
Republican party, and the resui'
would have been the same had not
vote been cast, or dollar OF expense
incurred. The Republican party mas
alwavs been useless luxury in Mary
land and the utter lack OF wisdom on
the part of the nlalodorous anu
tricky Weller was never shown to
more glaring extent than wnen ne
insisted on holding an election, wneE
there was only one candidate anu
consequently nothing to vote ABOUT
as a result of this foolish action the
state is out about 500, 900.
In discussing the congressional SIT
nation the same writer says:
"The present indications are tnat
the Democratic candidates will WIN
out in all five districts, and, should
they be able to secure the nomination
Of a strong, able and popular man.
there is no reason why the third DIS
trict should not be. redeemed, and
John Philip Hill, who is neither
Democrat nor Republican, but SIM
My an anti-prohibitionist should be
left at home. The third district now
representated by Col. Hill, has the
largest Democratic majority in Mary
land. The people of that section are
vitality interested in all sorts OF
things beside the wet and dry ques-
ton, and Col Hill represents nothing
but the one idea, and has shown his
helplesssness, to do anything for his
constituents in any liue in Congress,
and there are not a few signs that
people generally are beginning to
look upon him as sort of joke IN
public life, and would be glad to get
rid of him, and return their district
to it's normal condition of old-time
rock-ribbed democracy.

Whof Turkish Women
Say About Marriage

Few travellers have had the oppOr-
tunities to learn the circumstances and
the views of life characteristic of the
secluded women Of the Turkish harelns
that Miss Grace Ellison, the English
writer, has enjoyed. She declares that
she has never seen an "old maid" In
Turkey and does not believe that such
thing exists. Then she goes on:
l have talked with many Turkish
brides and have received many conf
dences; the whole question Of mar
riage in Turkey has always interested
me immensely. The first Turkish
bride / ever met, long years ago, had
never seen her husband before mar
riage and had detested him from the
first. "There was nothing the matter
with him." she admitted, Except that
I didn't like him." Ultimately she man

own choice and was much more un-
happy with him than she had been

Another bride told>me that as a great
favor she was allowed to see her future
husband, and that she has regretted II
ever since! "The dreadful imprudence
seems to have robbed Efe Of all its
romance!' she said.
Yet one more confession! II peeped

Export Figures ShotO
- Origin of Shipmenfs

To serve shippers In the interior,
particularly in the Middle Western
states, the Department Of Commerce is
compiling statistics Of exports by states
of original shipments. The depart
ment's statistical reports have pre-
viously shown only the exterior ports
from which export freight cleared for
foreign countries.
Under the new arrangement, all
goods shipped on through bills Of lad
Ing. for which the declarations are pre-
pared by the shipper in the interior,
will be credited to the interior state Of
shipment. Goods consigned from in
terror places to seabOard ports, to be
there consolidated or reconsigned for
export, will also be credited to the
state of original shipment If an ex-
port declaration prepared by the in
terror shipper, showing the place Of
original shipment, is filed at the Gus
tom house.
Merchandise forwarded from the in
terror to the seaboard for export by
commission merchants, forwarding. or
other export agents, and the export
declaration prepared by them will In
