Tote FOR JUDGE COLE

Once more the Press asks the voters of Imperial
County to support Judge Franklin J. Cole of the su-
peror court. who is candidate for reelection at the
polls next Tuesday.
That the people OF Imperial County we'll aware
OF the personal integrity high character and eNceen
ability of Judge Cole, is shown by the vote given hm
in the August primary when he led a field OF i've
candidates.
Many of the judges friends may be inclined to take
too much for granted and believe that he IS certain OF
reelection. therefore becoming careless about casting
their votes for him. There IS need of every vote If
honest conscientious and faithful public servant IS
TO b. reta ned the office he has filled we'll since
the organization Of the county.
Recently stories attacking Judge Coles personal
character have been heard and about this city They
are 50 rdcu that he Press does not deem them tt
to answer Tn fact no answer Is necessary Tor the
Judge.
judges record is an open one. Neither in public
in private lie has he been known act other than
as gem, ,#nsn. a law abiding citizen, and an honest
judge.
In these days when tales of corrupt judges can be
read in NEST ans issue OF the paper. voters will do
wei to tank twice before they allow to be removed
from ot ce. competent and thoroughly honest oftc-
ial Rather ne voters should unite to to it, that
these honest officials are retained in office and pro-
tected from the vaccinations of politicians
The Press makes excuses and no offers no apollo
gies in asking its readers to support Judge Cole Be
ing public servant itself It can only harbor the wish
that could endorse every candidate presented to the
people with the same satisfaction and feeling of duty
well done that ii experiences in asking support OF
Franklin J. Cole.

Rumanian King
Gravely Ill at
Palace in Bucharest

London, Nov. 26 - (P) - The Bu-
charest correspondent of the West
minister Gazette says that King Fer
dinand of Rumania sis not expected
to live until morning" The despatch
bearing today's (Friday) date, adds
that blood congestion of the large in
testine, due to cancer, Is causing
blood poisoning. Bucharest is des-
cribed as awaiting a coup d'etat."
A special correspondent sent by
the Daily Mail to Bucharest to in
vestigate the condition of the king.
telegraphed from Budapest that Fer
dinand is desperately i'll with cancer
of the bowels. Although this disor-
der causes constant pain. the CORE
spondent says the king is not bed
ridden, but attends the family meals
and maintains outward cheerful
ness. He is not allowed to have SOL
i'd food, his diet being confined ex-
clusively to tea and weak broth.
To what extent the grave reports
of Ferdinand's illness are true is not
known here. While there are many
conflicting versions, the dispatches
to several London newspapers des-
cribe his condition as more serious
than heretofore. The special Mail
correspondent declares that the Of
fetal reports issued at Bucharest are
unjustifiably sanguine.

starts at o'clock end at 5, with the
second show ending at o'clock, and
the third show ending at 1915. The
