TOTE FOR ROBINSON

Voters of Imperial Valley are remind
ed that Thursday Is the day for the spe-
cial election to choose = successor IN the
state assembly 10 the late VI. d. Witter.
The state law requires that there be
no names printed on the ballot and that
there be ne nominations IN the regular
sense of the word.
Voters vii write in the names Of the
candidates.
For eeonony'S sake. various voting
precincts have been consolidated, so that
it viii be necessary for the voter to as
certain II advance Just where he Is to
cast his ballot.
Because Of these conditions it is ap-
parent that the voting will be extremely
light. Ii Is therefore essential that every
citizen consider himself an election Off
cial and not only go to the polls himself,
but see that his neighbor does
This is the last appeal the Press will
be able to make to rural readers in be-
half of Sam Robinson, drafted by seven
of the eight newspapers in Imperial Val
lay as a candidate for the assembly.
In special page in this issue, spon-
sored by friends of Robinson his quail
ifications are set forth in detail. The
Press is happy to endorse the statements
set forth therein in its editorial column.
We not only have high opinion of
Mr.. Robinson, based on several years ac-
quaintance and familiarity with his rec
ord, but we also have full faith in his
ability to fulfill the office of assembly
man in a creditable manner and with
honor to himself and Imperial county.
Two more candidates have announced
themselves-E. W. Cuff and F. W. Greer,
both of Brawley. The Press, and the
other newspapers which signed the an
nouncement of Robinson's candidacy are
glad that these men have entered the
race. The publishers know that they
acted only from a sense of service to I'M
perial Valley in drafting Mr.. Robinson,
but there are bound to be some who will
resent what to them appears to be rail
roading'' The entry of Mr.. Cuff and
Mr.. Greer gives the voter choice of
three men, and removes the appearance
of restricting the voter to one candidate,
though as matter Of truth any per-
son who can vote can be a candidate in
this election. the law making it possible
even for each voter to vote for himself.
We feel certain that the election of
Mr.. Robinson will be satisfactory to the
large majority of Imperial Valley res
idents, and solicit the support of all for
him at the polls Thursday.
