FIVE GOOD MEN

Four men who have given long wears
of efficient service to the State of Cali
tornla, come before the voters of the
state next Tuesday, seeking reelection
These men are, Frank C. Jordan, sec
retary of state; Ray L. Riley, controller;
Charles &. Johnson, treasurer; and L.
S. Webb, attorney general.
Though all four are Republicans, all
but Johnson have been nominated on
both the Democratic and Republican tic
kets and in past elections there has been
only casual opposition to them.
1t is quite probable that all four will
be reelected, for, generally speaking, the
people recognize ability and efficiency
such as these four men have given to the
state during their long terms of SER
vice. Partisanship has been well-nigh
forgotten as far as their respective off
ices are concerned.
Jordan has been secretary of state
since 1910; Riley became controller in
1922; johnson became treasurer the
same year; Webb, the veteran of them all,
became attorney general in 1902 and is
finishing his eighth successive term,
most honorable record for any official.
The Press is happy to add its endorse
ment to these four outstanding servants
of California.
1t is also a pleasure to endorse Judge
Ira F. Thompson for the office of asso-
ciate justice of the state supreme court,
a position which he now holds by ap
pointment.
Judge Thompson has been made the
target for vicious attack because of a
case in Imperial county in which he fig
ured number of years ago, when he was
superior court judge at Los Angeles

are concerned.

The rabbit boys looked at each

Buster.
"Of course!" laughed Uncle
Wiggily.

Muster.

ENDORSEMENT FOR Law

Edward H. Law, incumbent, is endorsed
by The Press for reelection to office at
the primary election next week, on the
basis of his record during his first term
as county clerk.
He has given efficient service to the
county in the conductor this department
and merits the reward due those who
perform their duties satisfactorily-con-
tinuance in office.
The office of county clerk is an i'm
portant one, being in close contact with
the citizens of the county. Experience
in the numerous laws which govern the
duties of the county clerk is an import
ant factor for the efficient functioning
of that office and the past four years
have given this experience to Law.
He and the members of his staff have
not overlooked the fact that the public
expects courtesy in its officials and they
have accorded it to all having business
in this office.
Duties connected with the vast amount
of detail work necessary in preparing
for the impending election have not been
sacrificed in the interests of his cam
paign. The job has come first and cleo
tioneering second. Law has made good
and should be permitted to "stay on the
job"

know that there were fewer losers, in
the two hands than the bidding up to
that point had indicated, rightly passed
the leSS-than-game bid. From the en-
suing discussion I gathered that many
Sims players are embarrassed by this
same fear-that a strain-taker may be
miSread as slam try
The Distinction Must Be Made by the
Partner.
The trouble is that the player making
or wishing to make-a Strain-taking
jump bid overrates his function. 1t does
not matter what he intends. AS long as
he has not overbid his hand, the ulti-
mate destiny of the bidding may safely
be left to the partner, for whose benefit
the strain-taking was done You have
said to him: gwen if your hand is the
weakest on which you could properly
make the bids that you have made so
far, we must not stop short OF game.
Consequently if the partners hand is
distinctly stronger than his bidding has
shown. he has every right to continue
the bidding toward a SIAM he may even
make a constructive rebid, just as he
would IN reply to an immediate jump
raise or jump takeout. You can still
sign off short of slam if the losers have
not been satisfactorily eliminated by
this move.

You bid a spade; two spades by
your partner; three hearts by the ad-
versary on your right. Now bid four
spades to take the strain. Even If your
partner has no more than four small
spades and a minor-Suit king, you wish
to play for game, do you not? With even
somewhat more than this, he would be
put to terribly unfair guess whether to
pass three spades or raise; in fact, If
partnership bidding is to mean any
thing he would have no alternative but
to pass. Take the strain Immediately;
he will not blame you if you go down
one because both diamond honors were |
on your left, or his club king was
knocked off before you could maneuver
a strip and end play. Give him real
supporting hand, such as

and over four spades he should bid five
spades. He is clearly saying, L fear
the loss of two tricks in the suit they
have bid against us; outside that, I be-
lieve we can avoid any further losers.

bid your slam.
