"SERA officials are building a po-
iitical machine cut of human mis-
cry" Mrs. Spliyalo asserted. There
has long been movement on foot
by the federal government TO absorb
the welfare department. If the
SERA can't run its own department
any better than it has, how can it
expect to run the social welfare de

The director said SERA represen-

MAYFEELD MERITS SUPPORT

Honest and faithful service through
out more than two decades, much of it
during a time when the office paid
meagre salary and nobody else wanted
it, entitle Judge Mayfield, candidate for
reelection as justice of the peace, to the
consideration of voters at the polls next
Tuesday.
Judge Mayfield was appointed to his
present office by the board of supervis
ors on November 20, 1911, and has been
reelected each successive term since that
time.
His record is an exceptionally credit
able one, and during his long years of
service no litigant, grand jury, or pub
lie body has had reason to question his
honesty or integrity, or the fairness OF
his decisions.
He is a charter member of various
civic organizations formed in the pio-
neer days, was active in forming Imper-
ial county when it was separated from
San Diego, and in establishing the coun-
ty seat in Ell Centro.
Judge Mayfield is seeking reelection on
the basis Of his record, which is the best
possible standard by which his fitness for
public office may be judged. He is full
lv deserving of the endorsement he asks
and it is to be hoped the people of this
judicial district will give it to him next
Tuesday.
