George Varney has the lead over Mrs.
Adair for county treasurer and has the
distinction of being the only contested
candidate endorsed by the Mark Rose CO
horts to be elected to office. We cannot
help but feel he was elected in spite of
this fact and not because of it. We con-

VOTERS DO A FINE JOB

Imperial Valley voters did fine job
yesterday, deciding whom they wish to
run the affairs of the state and county
for the next four years.
1t is very happy feeling to run down
the list of candidates who appeared on
the endorsement list of the Press Monday
night and check off the winners.
A bit of regret is mingled with the hap
piness, for as this is written. incomplete
returns indicate that Mayor James
Rolph of San Francisco will be the Re-
publican candidate for governor. Our
regret is not that Sunny Jim" won, but
that Governor Young lost.
Imperial Valley gave the latter fine
vote The rest of the state didn't do so
we'll, but we showed our appreciation for
a fine man and one of the best friends the
valley ever had.
AS long as Governor Young couldn't
make it, Sunny Jim" has our best wish
es. An ambitious young attorney up in
Los Angeles can now return to his desk
in the county court house and stay on the
Job. Mr.. Fits still has plenty of time
to satisfy his aspirations, and some OF his
best friends who opposed him this time
hope he will profit by mistakes made IN
this campaign.
Coming down to our own county, we
take our hats off to the "Sage of Seeley"
who surprised all by his fine showing:
George Campbell didn't get the votes OF
everyone in the county, but he got plenty
He certainly hasn't an enemy from Cal
exico to Saiton Sea and Yuma bridge to
Mountain Springs. The other George
from Calexieo, whose strength was much
greater than his opponents figured, Will
be with him on the ticket in November.
Congratulations to both.
Mrs. Evalyn Westerfield's election to
office at the primary is gratifying to her
host of friends throughout the valley. 1t
is direct disavowal of the opposition's
attempts to cast discredit upon her and
proves that the election of a county re-
corder has no bearing on the future con-
struction of the All-American canal.
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald was
given fine vindication of his record dur
ing the past four years. He had possibly
the hardest campaign to make of any of
the candidates. The scribes of the valley

Suppose something should hap
pen to the raft when lot of our
children were on it'' asked Mrs.
Longears of her husband one day.
"Oh, nothing could happen,' he
answered with jolly laugh. "The
raft is anchored fast and only a big
storm could tear it loose. And if
there is a big storm l won't take
any of our children out on it 50
everything will be all right -
But something did happen! Sit
tight and III tell you about it.
After Uncle Wiggily had made his
raft, as l told you in the story last
night, the rabbit gentleman didn't
want it flipping and Hopping all
over the ocean so he anchored il,
or made it fast by fastening a heavy
stone TO a rope, made of twisted sea
weed, and tying the other end of
the rope to the raft.
At first the rabbit children played
rather quietly on Uncle Wiggily's
Iaft. for it teetered and tautered so,
as all RATS do, that they were
bit timid. But when they found
that it did not tip over, as a small
boat often does, and when they
found it was large Qikc the Lady
Mouse Teacher s platform in the
Hollow Stump SchooD why, they
even had games of tag, chasing one
another around and around the raft.
So it came to pass this day when
something happened, that the bunny
boys and girls, with Jackie and Pee
tic Bow Wow, the dogs, and Curly
and Floppy Twistytail, the nigs,
were having lots of fun on the raft
and Uncle Wiggily was lying in the
shade of an umbrella trying to read
d book made with rubber leaves so
the water wouldn't wet them.
All of sudden Baby Bunty
looked toward shore and shouted:
"Oh, we're moving! We're sail
ing!"
"No!' cried Uncle Wiggily, sit.
ting up so quickly that he upset his
shade umbrella. "We can't be NOV
ing. The raft is anchored by the
twisted seaweed rope. -
"Oh, was that our anchor ropc''
asked Buster, who had been ducking
Custer. 81 didn't know that and
united it and it dropped down in
the water, Daddicums.
'Then we are sailing on sea
trip, for the raft is loosc,' said
Uncle Wiggily. GAN right, my jolly
sea dogs, sea pigs and sea rabbits!"
he said. "Ahoy! All aboard! We re
off on an ocean trip! This umbrella
shall be our sail. Then the wind
blew on the umbrella which Mr..
Longears held in his paws and away
the raft sailed on a strange voyage.
