by word from President Hoover, the
facts are somewhat different.
Administration political strate-
gists besought young Roosevelt to
come home and take the stump
against his distant cousin, Frank
lin. whom he cnce branded as a
maverick" He demurred that this
job as governor general of the
Philippines required his attention.
His sister, Alice, got in on the play.
Theodore finally promised to come
home.
The move aroused widespread
comment as a campaign stunt. In
quiries were received as to whether
his salary as governor general would
continue and whether he would
come home at government expense.
Finally President Hoover inter-
vened and stopped the proceedings,
oyerruling Everett Sanders, Repub-
lican national chairman who was
an early sponsor of the plan to
feature the Republican Rooseyelts
in the campaign.

Nebraskan Gets
Government Job

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. U.R)-
The appointment of Ford Hoyey of
Omaha, Neb., as chief of the agri-
cultural department of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation was
announced by the corporation to-
day.
It was explained Hovey would
have entire charge of the personnel
having to do with the administra-
ton of the agriculture relief pro-
visions of the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation act.
Director Wilson Mccarthy, who
announced Hovey's appointment,
said he had taken over his duties
this morning and will participate
in the selection of personnel. Within
the next few days, Mccarthy said,
the details will be announced.
Director Harvey C. Couch, who
is in charge of applications for
loans for the construction of self
liquidating projects, announced
that the first loan under this pro-
vision will probably be made next
week. The first project, he pre-
dicted, would probably be for the
construction Of a bridge. The cor

AFTER THE BATTLE

WITH the smoke of the election bat
W tie gradually drifting away The
Press is particularly pleased to note that
four of the five candidates whom it en-
dorsed at the primary election led their
respective fields in Imperial county, and
only one-Senator Shortridge-failed to
make a showing sufficiently strong to
run again in the November general cleo
tion.
The senator nosed out his nearest op-
ponent-Joe Crail-by eight votes on the
returns in 55 precincts, but lost out else
where in the state.
Particularly pleasing to The Press is
the nomination of George Burnham as
Republican candidate for congress from
this district. Attempts by the opposition
to belittle Burnham during the campaign
availed but little He made a good show
ing in Imperial county, running second
to John L. Bacon. who had the support
of the Rose political machine, which
finds itself more wobbly than ever as
result of the election. Burnham stands
an excellent chance of election in Nov
ember and The Press feels fully conf
dent that he will make an excellent rep
resentative.
Ben Hulse, another Press candidate,
walked away with the Republican nomi-
nation for state senator He polled more
votes than his three opponents combined.
His opponent in November is doubtful,
the Democratic race between F. w. Greer
and j. E. Simpson being unusually close,
and subject to change by the votes in the
river precincts and the absentee ballots.
Sam Robinson, also a Press candidate,
performed the unusual feat of leading
both the Republican and Democratic tic
kets for assemblyman. 1t is unnecessary
for him to run again in November as his
opponent, Henry L. Jackson, a Republi-
can, was beaten by Robinson on the Re
publican ticket.
Judge A C. Finney has slight lead
over his nearest opponent, R. D. Nc
Pherrin, necessitating run-off IN Nov
ember Judge Finney also was endorsed
by The Press.

nor Uncle Wiggily for they were
friends of the buzzing creature.
II am sad," said the Bee, when
think that after all my hard work
of gathering honey from the
flowers, now 1 have to start in and
eat it all up. BY spring there will
be none left. All through the long,
cold winter I shall have to eat the
honey I worked SO hard to gather
this spring and summer. Oh, it
makes me sad!"
you are very foolish" said
Uncle Wiggily. You should be
glad, Mr.. Bee, and not sad, that
you have honey to eat. Many other
creatures work hard all summer,
but they can store nothing away
to eat in the winter. You are
lucky!"
II don't think SOL" buzzed the
Bee. For even if could be happy
thinking that 1 have enough honey
to eat in the winter, still I feel sad
when I think that maybe the Bear
will come and take some of my
honey that I have hidden away in
the hollow tree. I'm sure some
Bear will come and take my honey
and that makes me sad
Nonsense" said Uncle Wiggily
with a laugh. mo Bear knows
where you have ridden your honey
in a hollow tree"
"Yesl I knowi" suddenly growled
voice and up from a bush where
he had been hiding and listening
rose a Big Black Bear. Il heard
you say where you had hidden your
honey, Sad Bee!' growled the Bear
$50 I am going to get some!"
mo, you shall not!" buzzed the
Bee. With that he sat on the Bears
nose and stung him SO that the
Bear growled and kicked around so
hard that he knocked sticks and
stones on Baby Bunty and Uncle
Wiggily before they could run away,
which they soon did.
Poor, foolish and sad Bee" said
the rabbit. IF he had only kept
still and enjoyed his own honey he
wouldn't have gotten into fight
with the Bear. Poor, silly Bee"
Wasn't he!" agreed Bunty,
brushing off her dress some of the
dirt kicked up by the stung Bear.
But, anyhow We had an adven-
ture."

This was true, for those were the
only two words of "baby talk" that
Bunty, the little orphan rabbit, was
allowed to use.
Uncle Wiggily turned and saw,
just as he had guessed, that it was
Baby Bunty calling to him and
hopping after him.

IT is certainly in line to comment on the
1 splendid record being established in
Imperial county for traffic safety, in
view of the many times this column has
condemned the recklessness of motorists
on our public roads.
The state traffic office advises that a
month has elapsed since anyone was
injured badly enough in motor accident
on Imperial Valley roads, to warrant
medical attention.
Considering the number of blind cor
ners" about the county and the negli-
gent manner in which many operate their
cars, this is indeed splendid record and
one that all will hope can be continued
indefinitely.
Some of the credit, of course, is due
to. the vigilance of the traffic officers.
Credit is also due to the motorists for
they doubtless have seen the right and
wisdom of driving carefully and of be-
ing just little bit considerate of the
other fellows rights and feelings.
Imperial Valley has had numerous sad
accidents on the highway in the past
year. Too many of these have resulted
fatally, bringing sorrow to valley homes.
Every one of these accidents is an un-
answerable argument for greater care
