Presidential Election,
New Yorker Says.

On.n discussion of the prohibition
question by q special meeting OF the Re-
publican National Committee was de-
manded today by Representative FLO
relic H. La Guardia of New York.
The eag:rness of some Republican
drys to capitalize the Democratic dlv1S-
ion over prohibition as the major 1882
campaign issue drew the fire OF Repre-
sentative La Guardia, an anti-prohtbl"
zionist, who voiced warning tnaL .
presidential dry candidate might lose
i38 electoral votes, in addition to the
solid South, to a Democratic anti
prohibitionist.
Republican leaders, rather than
chuckie over the apparent division In
the Democratic ranks, had better take
inventory in their own party" said La
Guardia. 1T would seem to me that
the least they can do is to call the Ma
tional COMMITTEES together and take up
the prohibition question"
Praises Democrats.
Praising the courage Of Democrats In
openly meeting this issue, the New
Yorker added: voters are entitled to
know Just how the parties will stand
on the prohibition issue in 1882.
There is a determined movement
within the ranks of the Republican
party to vote wet In 1882 II the party
refuses to meet the situation and fails
to present a plank which will end the
present farce Of prohibition and Its
many vicious raniflcations.
IF the Republicans had the vision
and good sense to declare that which
they know to be fact, they will meet
the situation. Republicans In New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Ohio, Illinois, win not sacrifice
q principle for party expediency In
1892. The Republican party cannot
win without these States"
Dewey Warns PrOgressiveS.
Meanwhile, Prof. John Dewey Of New
York, who has asked Senator Norris,
Republican, Nebraska, to form Q third
party, said In a statement the recent
session of Congress was "the best posi-
BILE evidence of the breakdown Of the
present economic-political system"
More Progressive tactics must be
pursued by those who claim TO be Pro-
gressive II they expect to retain the sup

added.
Senator Norris, a leader of the Pro-
gressives backing the forthcoming con.

It has been emphasized that such action
will not be discussed at the conference.

1.-The views expressed by Gov. Smith

If these views be sound, popular gov

Constitution should be amended so as to
have the President elected through the

what is wisest, and then the President
should be authorized to appoint the

constituents want beer, but fear to
restore it to them for fear Of an active

observation of those of US who have
listened to these gentlemen. However
this leads to the suggestion OF Mr..
Raskob for an amendment of the Con-

ton as it now stands are to be per-
mitted to have a Constitution OF their

they object It would save the agri-

sure of defeat in 1882. He is general
secretary of the Methodist Board Of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public

recently ruled the eighteenth amend

Further Proof

Two srUDEBAKER Commanders, alike in every
respect even to their Free Wheeling transmits
sions, were driven for twelve days on main roads
in western Pennsylvania and in Indiana at
approximately 80 miles an hour.
ONE COMMANDER was operated in conventional
gear, the other in Free Wheeling. Half the time
the Free Wheeling car led, half the time the
other. Drivers changed cars at intervals.
AT THE END of the twelve days the two cars had
travelled 5000 miles with this result: the Free
Wheeling Commander averaged 1913 miles per
gallon of gasoline and 1,785 miles per gallon of
oil. The other, driven in conventional gear,
averaged 1875 miles per gallon of gasoline and
1900 miles per gallon of oil.

iton because of the demands of his private
business but retained an active member
ship. Six years ago he became director
at-large and after two years was called to
the preSidentcy of the county bureau. BY
patient persistent effort he raised the tone
of the organization, established it firmly
upon a basis of service to the farmers and
fairness to all other organizations and in
dividuals During this period he attended
four to five regional and one state meet
ing each year. These meetings gave him
opportunity to contact arm leaders
throughout the state. They gave him wide
and valued acquaintance and brought
recognition of his abilities. At one time he
served as member of the agricultural COM
nittee of the State Chamber of Commerce
and member of the Agriculture Commit
tee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce. AS a result today in any gathering
of farmers in California Sam Robinson is
known as the man from Imperial Valley.
One of Robinson's outstanding contri
buttons to improvement OF Imperial Valley
agriculture is the establishment of hay
grading. Single handed he began work on
this project several years ago. Gradually
hay growers here and in other parts of
the southern California began rallying to
support this movement. Patience and per
sistency finally overcame opposition OF hay
dealers in urban centers and more than
year ago hay grading was established in
this and other alfalfa producing areas.
This one success has vitally benefited our
growers when it is remembered that last
year 10000 tons of hay were produced in
Imperial Valley.
During his farm bureau leadership
Robinson has been ready at all times to con-
tribute his time and abilities in trying to
find a solution for the perpleXities and
problems brought to his attention by other
farmers.
Imperial Valley needs the Sam Robin
son type of man to represent it in Sacra-
mento He knows its problems and is SYM

the greatest good to the greatest number.

Fair minded, faithful constructive
These qualities stand forth in the character
of Sam +. Robinson Of Imperial Valley,
drafted by newspaper publishers and
backed by hundreds of men and women who
know him, to succeed the late Myron D.
Witter as assemblyman. Mr.. Witter, serv-
ing his third term last January introduced
several bills of particular Importance to
Imperial Valley. His enviable record
seemed to assure their passage. His re-

integrity
Sam Robinson for four years has been
president of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau. AT present he is Regional Direc-
tor. Prior to his presidency he served as
vice-president two YEARS. as director two
years and as AN active member since the
organization in Imperial county in 1914.
His rise to leadership among his fellow
farmers has been the result of his clear
constructive thinking on farm problems.
his fairness and his faithful service
Robinson is farm-minded He under
stands the farmers problems He home

piece of desert became home for him and
Mrs. Robinson. Together they pioneered.

it under irrigation. Crop after crop was

Special Election
THURSDAY, MARCH Is

each voter write in the name of his candi-
date. 1t is important, therefore, that sup
porters of Sam Robinson MAKE it their bus
mess on that date to go to the polls and
cast their ballot.
Robinson does not represent any group,
clique or faction in Imperial Valley. The
fact that he was drafted by seven of the
eight newspapers in the valley is a tribute
to the man and his ability, not an indica-
tion that he is subservient to anyone.
There was nothing cut and dried about
his choice. He was selected by the publish
ers of Imperial Valley papers only after
the qualification of other valley leaders had
been considered. He was truly drafted as
any or all of the publishers can attest, for
they know the argument they had to use
to get him to become candidate.
These men-comrades of Myron D.
Witter-knew the high calibre of man nee
essary to fill the office as creditably as he
did. All of them may have at times op-
posed Sam Robinson on some issue or
other, yet all of them recognized his ster-
ling WORTH his unimpeachable integrity and
his high standing in the community. They
persuaded him by appealing to his sense
of civic duty and his acceptance means con-
siderable personal sacrifice.
In write-in campaign, such as will be
conducted Thursday, the need of every vote
is apparent. Consolidation of the various
precincts adds to the difficulty of getting
out the vote. The publishers of the valley
newspapers who are supporting Sam Rob
inson urge every voter to get to the polls
and to see that his neighbor is reminded
of his duty.
Voters should be certain to write in the
name plainly. The district attorney has
advised the board of supervisors that the
name Sam Robinson will be recognized
as legal on the ballot. If any marks other
than the name appear on the ballot, or
erasure has been made, the ballot is void
The voter should ask for new ballot.
Be sure to find out in which district
your precinct has been included for this
election, then go to the polls and do your
part for efficient representation of lmper'
ial Valley in the state assembly by voting
for Sam Robinson.
