Coolidge and his support of President
Hoover has been earnest and unSwerV-
ing. His personal relations with the
President are most cordial; and if Pres
ident Hoover is reelected, as he should
be, Swings good approach to the White
House would be valuable to him and to
the state.
HE IS COURAGEOUS AND INDE-
PENDENT. While Swing is good party
mans he is not a mere rubber stamp. He
has his own ideas on the issues of the
day and that fact is well emphasized by
his views on the unemployment situation.
California is a strongly Republican state
but the voters are broad-minded and IN
dependent and they admire man IN
public life who has the courage OF his
convictions. Phil Swing is that kind OF
a man and the people of the state who
know him best believe that these quail
ties will make him a more valuable man
in the senate.
HIS CHARACTER AND IDEALS
ARE HIGH. Swing has fought consist
emily for the night closing of the MeM-
can border. In that stand he has antag-
onized the booze and gambling interests,
but they have never faxed HIM. tie Is
consistently dry" and his courage IN
standing firm for the policy of the Elgh-
teenth amendment and for vigorous law
enforcement has added to his fame.
What California ought to do III 1882 Is
to send Phil Swing to the senate ana
them keep him there for the next 70 or
80 years. We have the opportunity OF
securing one of the best senator's the
state has ever had and we should take
advantage of it-RiVerSide Press.

PHIL SWING FOR SENATOR

CONGRESSMAN PHIL D. SWING has
announced his candidacy for the
United States senate; in his campaign
Tor that office he will have the earnest
support of the Press; and the writer is
confident that in that position the paper
IS IN harmony with the sentiment of the
Republicans of Riverside county by an
overwhelming ajority.
Here are just few reasons why Phil
Swing would make an ideal senator for
California:
HE HAS A REMARKABLE RECORD
FOR EXPERIENCE AND SUCCESS.
For ten years he has been a member of
the house of representatives and he has
built up reputation there of which his
friends may we'll be proud. His achieve
ment in getting the Boulder dam bill
through the house was one of the most
remarkable in the recent history of that
body. The great Boulder dam project
will stand through all time to come as a
monument to the ability of Congressman
Swing. If he goes to the senate, he will
start in there with fine prestige because
of his record in the lower house.
HE HAS YOUTH AND VIGOR. Phil
Swing is a man of dynamic personality,
a tireless worker and a vigilant cham
pion of the interests of his state. These
qualities would count tremendously for
success in the senate.
HIS PARTY RECORD is CONSIST
ENT ON THE TARIFF AND OTHER
ISSUES. Phil Swing is Republican,
he was loyal supporter of President

FEDERAL LABOR
OFFICE TO Be
OPENED HERE

With the announcement of the
u. S. employment service of the
department of labor that the El
Centro branch of the Los Angeles
service will open on November 16
the FL Centro Chamber of Com
merce has scored another achieve
ment for the benefit of the city and
valley as a whole. 1t was through
the efforts of the local chamber
staff that the employment service,
branch of the U. S. bureau, was es-
tablished in Ell Centre last winter.
and an extension of that service
until July was also granted because
of urging by Robert Hays, manager
of the local chamber. Immediately
upon the closing of the service here
Hays communicated with the de-
partment of labor, urging full
time employment service for In
perial Valley. or at least a nine
months service, starting October /.
There has been much correspond
ence on the subject and it is felt
by the chamber directors that the
announcement of the definite open
ing of the Ell Centro branch on
the 10th of this month is a decided
achievement.
Captain w. NJ. Cunningham, spe-
cial agent, will be in charge of the
work in Imperial Valley. Cunning
ham handled the service last spring
and received much commendation
from the cantaloupe packers and
shippers and from the various civic
and charitable bodies for the splen-
did manner in which he took care
of the problem of unemployment
and transient labor. Hays states
that he feels Cunningham ap-
pointment promises that the hand
ling of transients in Imperial Val
ley and of unemployment will be
to the best interests of the COM
munity.

teries of Wizard Control declared
to be a startling innovation in mo-
tor-car operation, will be fully re-
yealed
While the preliminary announce
ment contains no details about the
new Buick development, it is in
timated that an entirely new meth
cd of car control is introduced. one
that represents the longest step for
ward in this phase of automotive
engineering that has been made in
recent years.
Since the close of the inventory
period, made in midsummer by
Buick for the first time in many
years. little information has been
obtainable from the plant at Flint.
This has been taken TO indicate
preparations of unusual Importance
for the new car that is to succeed
the original straight eight, which
represented Buick for almost sixteen
months.
It is the general opinion in auto
mobile circles that the presentation
of the new line will prove the most
sensational event OF the year. Pres
entation will take place simultan-
eously in all cities of the country,
shipments having been going for
ward to these points since the new
car went into production.
