on one of their number, Sinclair
would be nominated but would be
defeated in the November election
McNichols expressed confidence
that Sinclair would not receive
the party nomination in the pri-'
maries.
McNichols also disapproved OF
Creel. He declared he would not
withdraw from the race If Creel
were favored. Waddell was equally
inimical.

will work with other members of
the committee to prepare the act

be ready to present to the legis-
lature if Governor Merriam heeds
the plea of the industry and calls
the legislative body for a special
session.

DR.. Warren Fox, county health

and following his return to Los An
geles notified local health authori-
ties of his conclusions.
"The hazard of typhoid epidemic
is exceedingly remote" his letter
states. 1t continues: I'VE find that
the natural publication of the wa

of their ranch waters by taking all
reasonable measures, including long
time settling to kill off disease
germs and continued use of filters
Boiling of this water is still recon-
mended for ranchers.
Gillispie's letter concludes: "It

touch with the water situation as
