OLDFIELD EXPECTS
DEMOCRATS TO WIN

The colossal task of reorganizing the
disrupted forces of the Democratic
party for the Congressional battle in
1926 has been begun by William A.
Oldfield, congressman from this dis
trict who was in the state last week
before resuming his tour of the waver-
ing political area to carry out his pro-
gram as chairman of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee.
His job is to insure a Democratic
majority i'm the House of Representa-
tives in 1926 and to construct a foun-
dation for the presidential campaign
two years later. Undaunted by an ill
ness that confined him to a hospital
for five weeks at the very beginning
of his work, Congressman Oldfield is
optimistic about the Democratic out
look.
IF we are wise we will win" he
predicted. I'VE need only 30 more
members to recapture a Democratic
majority in the House in '26. That
should be easy. Then our chances of
electing a Democratic president in '2S
will be materially strengthened. These
are the same tactics successfully EN-
ployed by the party in 1910, when the
Democrats carried the House and paw
ed the way for the election of Woodrow
Wilson in 1912"
Mr.. Oldfield's duties as chairman
of the National Congressional Com
mittee are light in tie sO-called solid
South. 1t is into those ION the fence"
territories where the two parties con-
stantly struggle for supremacy that
he will carry the present fight.
His first address before a Demo
cratic meeting was in Topeka, Kans.,
on April 4th. Shortly -afterward he
became i'll and was sent to hospital
where he underwent an operation and
remained for five weeks. Since his
recovery he has attended political
meetings in st. Louis, Detroit and
Kalamazoo.
He left Batesville for indianapolis,
where he was to attend a Democratic
convention Saturday. About August
10th, Mr.. Oldfield will begin a Western
tour, i'm which he will cover the Paci-
fic coast and the states of Nebraska,
Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon and
Washington, returning October 10,
when he will attend a meeting of the
Ways and Means Committee.
In each of these states he will at
tend political rallies of Democratic
organizations and urge the selection of
such congressional candidates as may
stand the best chances of winning
against their Republican opponents.
His purpose will be to reunite the
scattered factions by re-establishing
their confidence i'm the party. In this
way Mr. .Oldfeld hopes-and confident
ly expects-to win over the 80 addi-
tional districts that will give the Demo
cratic party the majority membership
of 21S seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
After that Democratic president.

Highest Price
of Year Given
For |. V. Steers

The highest price of the year
was paid at the Los Angeles Union
Stock Yards Monday when five
carloads of Imperial Valley steers,
fed by II. p. Jones of Brawley. sold
at $3.50 a ewt., to the Standard
Packing Company of Los Angeles.
The five carloads of steers were of
excellent quality, all dehorned and
wore shipped to the Imperial Val
ley for winter feeding from the
northwest. The steers average 1880
pounds, showing an excellent gain
in weight and a handsome profit.
The Imperial Valley at this sea-
son of the year supplies the Los
Angeles market with the best cattle
available and indications are that
Imperial Valley feeders will make
profits again this year. Other ship
ments of Imperial Valley wintered
steers sold Monday up to $0.40 a
cwt., some cattle at the latter price
being sold by Roy Farr.

ARMY
PLANS SUMMER
CAMP In HILLS

The Salvation Army announces
today that it has secured the beau
tiful Blake Springs, about three
Campo road, as a site for their pro-
jected summer camp. This is made
possible by the extreme kindness of
Mr.. Blake Of Holtville who owns
more than a hundred acres and who
has cooperated with the Army in
every way. 1t is hoped to have the
camp in operation when school
closes the first of June.
Ensign Lloyd and his wife, who
have given 50 much good service
to the valley, will be III charge of
the camp, and will be assisted by
other members of the corps.
In order to finance this camp, and
to take care of the annual budget of
the Army, a campaign for funds will
be launched throughout the valley
on April Is. The camp is primar-
ily designed to afford vacations to
mothers and kiddies of the valley
who otherwise could not afford an
outing and wherever the very nom
inal sum that will be fixed for
charges cannot be paid, the vaca-
tion will be given without cost.
