CLIENTS GIVE
ENDORSEMENT
To DON b|TLER

Friends of Attorney Don c. Bit
Ter, candidate for judge of the su-
perior court of Imperial county,
assert that he would make an eff
ficient, intelligent and kindly
judge. They declare that he is in
dependent of all political or other
factions, that he is fearless and
forceful in the handling of legal
matters, and that his knowledge
of law ana court procedure is
thorough.
Twenty years of active practice
of law in the Imperial county su-
perior court and the federal dis
trict court in addition to his pre-
vious training, have furnished At
torney Bitter ample experience to
qualify him for the office of su-
perior judge.
His integrity as a lawyer is we'll
known. Most active among those
urging his election as superior
judge are clients who have OBJ
served through many years his di-
rect and effective manner of dis
posing of all legal matters expedi-
tiously and making decisions
promptly.
Political and legal opponents ad-
nit that Attorney Bitler always
fights fairly, being ever willing to
concede that there are two sides to
case and sometimes more than
that-an inside to the case that
it is important for the trial judge
to discover. A deep understanding
of human nature is also an i'm
portant judicial qualification pos
sessed by Bitler as the result of
considerable travel while a young
man engaged in newspaper work
He has applied this understanding
of people to his work as a lawyer
He expresses the desire to serve
the people of Imperial county in
the office of superior judge and
give them the benefit of mis- legal
knowledge and experience. He is
49 years of age, energetic and
physically tit to assume the duties
of superior judge.

EVEN. SLAYER
Gives BOOST
To UNDERWOOD

A. r. (BerD Underwood, candi-
date for sheriff-coroner at the pri-
mary election, is a pioneer resi-
dent and peace officer of Imperial
county, having arrived in the val
ley in April, 1904.
For 16 years he was constable
and city marshal at Holtville, later
serving six years as undersheriff
of Imperial county.
He was elected coroner of Imper-
ial county in 1890, having previous
ly served one and one-half years
in that office by appointment of
the board of supervisors and was
for three and one-half years a
deputy coroner under B. E. Lemons.
81 am the only candidate for the
combined office of sheriff and cor
oner with actual experience in both
offices,' he states. 81 WASH It
sheriff of the county but as under
sheriff I had years of experience
in the duties of the office of sher-
iff and the same thing goes for
county coroner.'
His friends point to a unique rec
ord as peace officer. Of the nu-
merous men he has taken into Gus
tody for violation of the law over
the long time he served as an Off
Ger, not one has ever harbored a
grudge against him.
Taking "a convicted murderer to
San Quentin on one occasion the
man told him, ebert, I'm glad
they sent you to take this trip
with me. I'd be sore if anyone
else came along. It's my last trip
and I want to get what little pleas
ure I can out of it. You don It
need to worry about me, I wouldn It
throw you down for you have Civ
en- me a square deal all the way
through this mess. If I have had
any comforting moments it has
been because you treated me like
a man and have told me to take
it with my chin up"
Bert points with pride that he
and Mrs. Underwood were the first
couple to be married by Sam Webb,
prominent Holtville blacksmith, and
at that time justice of the peace in
Holtville. "We really didn't need
a blacksmith, Bert says, "but
none of his chains could be any
stronger than the link he forged
when we stood before him in his
legal capacity

VETS STRONG
FOR MERRIAM.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20. (Spe-
ciaD - Republican veterans in
California are rallying to the
cause of Gov. Frank F. Merriam,
following his address to the Amer
ican Legion convention in San
Francisco last Monday, and it ap-
pears that the chief executive will
get at least half, probably more
than half of the ex-service mems
vote"
This was the statement made
by Arthur Guerin, head of the vet
eran's division of the Merriam
campaign in Southern California,
on his return from the bay city
convention.
"At the convention, the veter-
ans heard Gov. Merriam pledge
his best efforts in the fight
against Communism" said Guer-
in. This pledge struck responsive
sive chord among the ex-service
men. At the convention, many of
the veterans learned for the first
time of the governors splendid re-
cord of support of legislation in
which the ex-service men have
been interested.
"A check showed that Gov. Mer-
riam, himself not veteran but a
proven friend of the veteran will
get half or more of the Republi-
can veteran support"

APPROVAL Of
SAN D|EGAN

Supporters of E. N. D. Hatch,
candidate for county treasurer, Of
| fer the following endorsement by
Forest l.. Heiatt as proof of his
ability:
San Diego, Calf.
August IA, 1884
Mr.. E. N. D. Hatch,
Ell Centro, Calf.
Dear Neal:
This seems to be year of sur
prises, not the least of which is to
learn that you are in a political
campaign.
Well do / remember the conster-
nation among some of the politi-
clans when I selected you as my
chief assistant supervisor in the
1880 federal census, in charge of
the work in Imperial county. I
didn't mind that for I was not
concerned in building up a politi-
cal machine through patronage,
but was looking for ability. 1t was,
therefore, source of great salts
faction to me that you delivered
100 per cent in the high standards
had set for the census in the
37th district.
The supervisors of the popula-
ton census, with its many haras-
sing situations called for firmness
and an administrative ability of
high order, and these qualities
you demonstrated to my entire sa-
tisfaction.
The taking of the census OF dis
tribution business census) with
its intricate detail, was handled by
you with a thoroughness and eff
ficiency such as only one of your
wide experience in accountancy,
could have delivered, and more
than justified your appointment.
Your work in Imperial county
was a real factor in giving my
district the high rank it achieved
in the nation, and I am hoping the
good people of your county have
not forgotten this splendid service
you rendered them as we'll as the
National Government and that
they will do themselves the honor
and credit of electing to the Of
flee of treasurer business man of
your calibre.
Very truly yours,
FORREST l.. HIEATT.

SAY
j RICE TRAINED
. FOR POSITION

r The Importance of selecting
technically trained men to fill
public offices of technical nature
is being recognized more and more
as one of the greater public needs.
Private enterprise does not place
unframed men in technical posi-
lions for experience has long ago
taught them that such practice re-
suits only in inefficiency, confu-
sion and waste of funds.
The Importance of the office of
county surveyor appears to be lost
in the heat of campaigns for other
county offices but the office, if
properly conducted, is very impor-
tant in the administration of
county affairs and the voters can
do much to improve the value of
this office by selecting man
technically fitted to direct its af-
fairs.
John T. Rice, former mayor of
Ell Centro and graduate engineer,
ex-major engineers, U. S. army,
and a registered engineer of the
state of California, is undoubtedly
one of the best qualified men in
Imperial county for this office, his
friends say, and they believe the
voters of the county will welcome
the opportunity to so express their
opinion at the primary election on
August % and will render them
selves and the county a service by
placing in this office man fit
ted for the job.
