RASKOB HURLS CHALLENGE TO
DRY FACTIONS OF DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, April 6. UP)-If
Democratic prohibitionists have a
better plan for solving the liquor
problem, John j. Raskob is anxious
to hear about it.
The Democratic national chair
man has sent to all members of the
national committee a letter calling
for suggestions for possible embodi-
ment in the 1882 platform, and par
ticularly stressing the prohibition
issue. There had been no advance
notice Of the letter, which is looked
upon as direct assault on the pro-
hibitionist position, as well as on
-prohibitionists who have advo-
Gated equivocation in the platform.
In this connection Raskob said:
Perhaps it (prohibition) is a
dangerous complication. So is can
Ger dangerous complication. How
silly it would be to disregard the
symptoms Of cancer. How silly it
must be for the Democratic party to
disregard the prohibition issue be-
cause of its supposed peril!'
Attacking the assumption that the
two major parties are inveterate
enemies, Raskob said they should be
regarded instead as instruments of
service" He said the nation should
demand that a political party de-

HOLTVILLE MAN
RESCUED FROM
MOUNTAIN FALL

A fall down the side of Mount Sig
nal yesterday afternoon seriously
injured Ross D. Huffman of Holt
vile when he broke bones in both
feet, suffered badly strained and
possibly broken hip, and severe
bruies on the head.
An X-ray will tell if Huffman'S
hip is broken. Medical examination
disclosed the other injuries after
Huffman was taken to the valley
hospital in Holtville.
Thirteen hours of intensive
searching and hard labor in carry
ing Huffman down the side of the
mountain ended for hastily gath
cred searching party at l o'clock
this morning, when the injured man
was finally given medical attention.
A party of five, headed by Sheriff
George L. Campbell and composed
of Ernest Clay, Harold Gillett,
Charles Wise and Elmer Waters,
searched for Huffman, after it was
reported to the sheriff's office that
he had fallen from the peak yes
terday afternoon.
An ambulance from the county
hospital, with the ambulance driver
and q nurse, also answered the call.
First reports were that Huffman
might have been killed by his fall.
When the sheriff's party reached
Mount Signal they found that
friends of Huffman had located him
and carried him part of the way
down the mountain. He was placed
on a stretcher, and the rest of the
treacherous journey down the noun
tain side completed with four men
carrying the stretcher.
1t was long after dark when Huff
man was found. His friends knew
where he had fallen, but it was in
to a deep canyon where he could
not be easily reached.
Huffman was with his brother,
Clyde Huffman, and Milburn Evans.
The party had essayed a climb of
the mountain as q Sunday outing.

SEEK CHANGE IN
Law GOVERNING
DISTRICT VOTING
Farm Bureau Proposes To
Limit Ball0ting to Prop
erty Owners

A resolution asking an amend
ment to present legislation, the
amendment to provide property
qualifications for those voting in
irrigation district matters, was
passed by the board Of directors of
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
at their meeting held Saturday at
the court house.
The resolution requires that those
voting in irrigation district elec-
tions must be duly qualified electors
and must be owners of real proper
ty as on record the first Monday
in March preceding any district
election. 1t will be applicable only
to districts Of 100000 or more acres.
Copies of this resolution. which
is being drawn up today by c. G.
Holiday, attorney for the farm bu-
reau, will be sent to every irriga-
ton district in the state. to all
chambers of commerce, boards of su-
pervisors, farm bureaus and other
interested organizations. 1t will al
SO be sent to the state legislature
at the present session, and asked to
be made part OF the law.
According TO a statement made
by Holiday. California is the only
state out of the II western ones.
which has not a property qualifi-
cation for voters on irrigation dis
trict elections. Furthermore, I'm
perial Valley is one Of the few. if
not the only, irrigation district, in
which the cities are included in the
district. In other districts, city
residents do not vote, but only ac-
tual members of the district
In this district, the irrigation dis
trict was formed before many of
the cities developed, and as they
grew up within the district, they
were included in it.
The directors spent almost the
entire session discussing this ques-
ton. the chief problem centering on
the method of determining the
property qualification. 1t was point
ed out that an irrigation district is
more in the nature of a business
concern than a political unit and
that those paying the district as
sessments should De the ones to
vote on district subjects. Certain
extreme projec.S, such as plurality
voting based on the number of acres
held, were discussed but not favored
by the majority
1t is said that sentiment in the
legislature favors the adoption of
this amendment
Routine business matters, includ-
ing the audit of the farm bureau
books, were brought UP. but the
main item was the discussion on
qualifications for irrigation district
electors, j. c. Rouser. president,
presided.

WIFE OF YUMA
EDITOR WITNESS
TO HIS SUICIDE

YUMA, Ariz., April G. U.p)-W. A.
Lee, publisher of the Yuma Sentinel,
an afternoon daily newspaper, COM
mitted suicide today by shooting
himself through the head.
Dependency, due to financial
worries, is thought to have
prompted the act.
Mrs. Lee witnessed the shooting
and shouted to her husband in an
other room in a vain effort to pre-
vent it. Lee fired once before
she could reach his side. Death
was instantaneous.
Lee was fully clothed, being
ready for departure to his office.
He went to a room in the rear of
the house to get some papers from
a trunk and while there seized a
30 calibre automatic pistol.
The suicide apparently had been
contemplated for some time as Lee
left several notes directing dispos-
ition of his personal affairs.
Lee, who was only 33 years old
came here from Madison, Wis, last
October and bought control of the
Sentinel Publishing Company from
Roy Dennis and James Forest.
A coroner's jury was impaneled
for an inquest to be held this after
noon. Burial probably will be here.

FAVOR CERMAK
TO WIN CHICAGO
CITY ELECTION

CHICAGO, April 6. U.p)-The city
of Chicago will decide tomorrow
whether William Hale Thompson,
Republican, or Anton j. Cermak,
Democrat, shall be its mayor dur
ing the Worlds Fair of 1888.
Leaders of both parties predicted
today that more than 100000
votes will be cast in the election
which universally is admitted to be
one of the most important ever
held here.
Both candidates today completed
their campaigns. Each predicted he
would win. Straw votes favored
Cermak, by a larger majority than
any mayorship candidate ever has
received.
Thompson, known throughout the
world as big Bill', frequently has
boasted that he is the best SHOW
man" among the countrys politi-
clans. He is seeking fourth
term.
.Cermak is chairman of the Cook
county board and has been a power
in Democratic politics for years.
One of Thompson's principal cam
paign issues has been that his op-
ponent is too powerful" and wants
to be master" by holding all the
jobs at once.
In his final summing up of the
campaign, Cermak outlined the
principal issues as: Crime; taxa
ton; the restoring of Chicago's lost
reputation; and relief of increasing
unemployment.
