 SMITH VICTORY
 IN DIGEST POLL
Democratic National Chair man Writes J. J. Connors
 that Success Is Certain

James J. Connors. member of the Democratic National Commit tee received a letter yesterday from J. J. Raskob. chairman of the committee. in which he de- clared that the outlook for victory was never more certain" The let ter contains an analysis of the Literary Digest poll and is self explanatory. It was dated Oc- tober Is and was based on the Literary Digest poll for October 20. It follows:
 An analysis of the Literary Di- gest poll for 1924 shows great ac- curacy in forecasting the total popular vote boiled for President Coolidge. It shows gross inae- curacies with respect to the popu- lar vote polled for MT. Davis and MT. LaFollette.
 It also shows substantial inac- curacies in the polling by individ- ual states For instance, the poll showed that New York State would give 63.5 per cent of it's popular vote to President Coolidge as against the actual Coolidge vote of 55.9 per cent This represent ed an error of 7.6 per cent. Simi- lar errors in varying degrees oe- cured in all of the states.
 It is interesting to note that if the figures shown in the Literary Digest poll for the week of Oc- tober 20. 1928, are corrected through applying the same errors as occurred in the 1924 poll, Gov. Smith carries New York, Massa- ehusetts, Connecticut and Illinois in the following ratios.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD

With the entry of a naval inquiry board into the
hull of the ill-fated S4 the entire nation is again
minded of those three days last December when ali
watched and waited with the half dozen men impris-
oned beneath the ocean, hoping against hope with
them, that they would be rescued before death
took them.
The world knows that Death won the race. The
six went to their doom and the world knew they went
to their doom like in keeping with the best tradi
tons IF the American navy Unhappily they fore
ed to await the end helpless and caught like rats in
trap, except that there a slight gmmer of hope
that their companions might reach them in time. This
however must have made their end just little
difficult to meet.
There is world of tragedy in the written word
left behind by of the half dozen, directing that his
body be sent to his home. Other messages perhaps will
be found but poignant than this. There
was complaint word of censure for the cruel
fate that then creeping up the writer of
that message no condemnation for those who might
be held responsible for the tragedy Just simple
line, message such might leave to direct
friend.
Throughout the history of the United States Navy
there have been instances without number where
exhibited the utmost in heroism yet will surpass
the courage of these six men,
Surely it would seem that the government for
which they died should be willing to exert all its in
fluence with other powers of the world to eliminate
the cruel weapon which the of their death

LET'S KEEP 1T CLEAN

Ell Centro has entered political campaign, to
choose three for its city council Eight local citi
zens seek the three places which to be filled.
1t is fine thing to have more than twice the num-
ber of candidates than there offices to fill for
shows that the citizens of E. Centro ARE interested in
their home city.
Without question, any or all of the eight
would perform the duties of the office they seek in
manner credtabe to themselves and for the welfare
of the city. Only three be chosen. That makes it
necessary TO choose favores with every citizen free
to support the candidate whom he believes best fitted
for the office.
It is little early just yet to draw hard and fast
lines All of US can we'll afford to take day two
weigh the merits of each candidate and then make
our decision.
One thing we can decide right now, is that the
campaign must be clean. Every citizen has right to
seek office and every citizen has the right to vote
he pleases. All wish to Ell Cenro grow and pros
per- Undoubtedly the who will take office next
month will be at the head of the ctys affairs during
its greatest period of progress For this reason 1t is
doubly necessary for to choose the best. But IN
choosing. * does that those who defeat
ed have been found wanting in any of the things that
stand for good citizenship. The defeated ones will be
as essential those who elected.
Let go into the election bound to give Ell Centro
the best holding malice against any man. let's make
il hard tight, but clean one; and when the final
result told let's all get behind the victors and show
them that win or lose, with them to put FL
Centre the map the most progressive and uptO-
date city in the Southwest

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
GRAPES

Uncle Wigg.fy had picked up the
accordion which one of the Iitt'"
italian boys had dropped in he
field where the strings of macaroni
were drying. The accordion gave !
faint musical squeak as the rabbit
gentleman lifted it from the ground.
"Oh, you can play! : exclaimed
Baby Bunty.
"How lovely!" murmurcd Nallie.
The little Valentine raOpIt child,
with Bunty and Uncle Wiggily had
dropped down into an Italian field
where macaroni was driving, as |

while before.
"Who are you boldly asked
Tncle Wiggily for, as yet, they had

voice.

answer and from behind Il screen Of

Italian boy put his hands under
these leather loops to pull the ac-
Gordon bellows out, once he had
pushed it in to make certain notes.
"Ah, throught the rabbit gentle

the Bad Chap:
"Perhaps you play a little, MI.

music came from it, but Uncle Wig
giY did not stop to listen. Instead
the rabbit gentleman shouted:
Come on. girls! The Wolf 5 paws
are held fast now in the accordion
straps and he can t catch us, RuGi
hop! Get away.' And through til
rows of maearoni ran the three
bunnieS.
Ha! if Uncle Wiggily can t play
the accordion he can play Il trick
on me- growled the Wolf as he
twisted and squirmed to get his
paws loose from the straps so he
could run. But his paws were tight
ly held fast so Uncle Wiggily got
away. He and the little bunny gills
were now running through field
en- the side of hill when, all al
once Nallie cried:
