BY LYLE G. WILSON
BY United Press

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. - Pro-
gressive Republicans are maneuver-
ing for control Of the party which
has been led since 1908 by mas
terful conservative faction.
After the storm of Democratic
ballots Tuesday there sounded from
scattered Republican leaders call
for party reorganization.
Translated from words to action
that mean, first, an effort next jan
uary to displace Rep. Bertrand
Smell as Republican leader of the
house.
The next step in party re-organi-
zation as plotted by the Progress
sives is removal of Henry p. Fletch-
er as chairman of the Republican
national committee. Progressivcs
resented his election this year. Sen.
William E. Borah (Rep) Idaho,
protested in bitter language. Borah
has not changed his mind.
Hurrying to Washington yeStcr-
day, Borah paused to proclaim that
the Republican party must re-or-
ganize or die. Gov. Clifford Pinchot
of Pennsylvania put the proposition
this way:
1.-The Republican party must go
!. progressive or stay bust.

igan, an Independent. told an audi
cnce as Tuesday IS ballots were be-
ing counted that partisanship

to support President Roosevelt.
The foregoing represent the more
extreme viewpoints expressed so
far. Sen. Daniel Hastings (RepD
Delaware. who was co-chairman of
the Republican senatorial-congres-
sional campaign committee, saw
the election as probable high
point of popular sympathy in what
he regards as nationally destructive
policies.
Sen. Hiram w. Johnson (Rep)
California who was reelected on
Democratic, Republican and minor
tickets. similarly boycotted politics.
He made no campaign speeches in
his Cwn behalf. but has been q
bitter Progressive critic Of Repub-
lican party leadership.

organization.

FOR
Fits CHARGE
JUDGE UNFAIR

LOS ANGELES, Nov. Q. U.P)-
Charging "bitter animosity" On
the part of Superior Judge Fletch-
er Bowron and attacking the legal
ity of the grand jury which in
dicted them on perjury charges,
District Attorney Buron Fits and
his sister Berthal Gregory, today
entered motions in superior court
to set aside the indictments.
In a prelude to the making of
the motions before Superior Judge
Pat Parker. Joseph Scott, defense
attorney, declared the natural in
clination of the district attorney
and his sister was to enter immed-
late pleas of not guilty and bring
the charges to immediate trial.
However, he said the attack up
on the legality of the grand jury
was being made at the behest Of
the battery of defense attorneys
who insisted upon their clients pro-
tecting t h + fundamental
rights. -
Although defense attorneys plead
ed for longer time, declaring they
intended to question "at least so
witnesses" Judge Parker set NoI<
ember 10 as date for hearing on
the motions.
Sharp personal feeling between
the defense camp anC special pros
ecutor Clyde Shoemaker. famed
by previous public statement, flam-
ed into a fiery worG Guei in the
court room.
Throughout the proceedings be-
fore Judge Parker this morning,
Fits spoke only once. That wa
to answer ''yes' to the formal
question of whsthcr he was pres
ent. He and his sister were asked
whcther they pleaded guilty or not
gu'ly, but each remained silent
while Scott maze the routine an
nouncemcnt that the motion to set
aside the indictments was to be
made. The pleas arc automatically
rCstponed until after the motions
are disposed of.
The defense attorneys had sought
a delay in the arguments while
Shoemaker had pleaded for a quick
hearing

COUNTY CAST
TWO THIRDS
VOTE TUESDAY

Records at the county clerks Of
ficc compiled from returns of the
election held in the county en-
Tuesday, show that 1925 persons
cast their ballots in the 81 pre-
cincts Of the county.
Basing computations on the reg
istration totals Of 22,0c0 for the en-
tire county, Tuesdays vote total
stands out very prominently not
only as new high record for the
county but also as an indication
that Imperial county voters were
more than ordinarily interested in
the election both as to the state
ticket and the candidates running
for county offices.
In addition to the above totals
the absentee vote must still be
reckoned with before definite finals
can be had on the voting results.
A total Of 737 absentee ballots were
sent out to applicants by the coun-
ty clerk. OF this number Ga have
been returned, voted, and next
Tuesday is the last day on which
these ballots can legally be received
at the court house here. At that
time they are to be counted by the
board of supervisors and a special
election board after which they
will be added to the general total
and that will constitute the Off
cial vote Of the county for the cleo
tion.
II is interesting to note the fol-
lowing figures concerning the vote
given to other candidates for state
offices. Ray Riley received 1892
votes for controller; Frank Jordan,
11.021 for secretary of state. G. G.
johnson polled 6308 for state treas
urer against 1856 for Ward, his
Democratic opponent. Hiram john
son. running for u. S. senator Oh
both the Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets was given 1,461 votes
by the county. The votes given
opponents of Riley. Jordan and
johnson are not sufficient to en-
danger victory for these candi-
dates.

DA|RY|NG To
Be ASSISTED
BY INSTITUTE
Organization Formed Here Last
Night To Boost Industry In
All Sections.

In order to make not only the
state of California but also the en-.
tire country conscious of the super
ior quality of Imperial Valley Dairy
products the Imperial Valley Milk
Institute was formally launched at
the court house last night.
Some 35 representative valley
Gairymen attended last nights gath
ering. The meeting was pervaded by
? sense of determination to succeed
IN the project and also by a reali-
zation of the inestimable benefits
which would accrue to the valley
from such an organization.
George Bennitt was named tenn
porary chairman and Jess Worley,
Calexico, temporary secretary of the
meeting after which the business in
hand was set under way.
Walter Macdonald, county milk
inspector outlined the aims and am
bitjons of the contemplated insti-
tute. He explained that the dairy
industry should be of great interest
to everyone in the valley as all res
idents are either directly or indirect
ly influenced by it to a very great
extent. He stated that many objec-
tionS previously voiced by outside
the county interests against county
products are now removed by the
fact that the county is now nearly
completely clean of bovine Cubercu-
loSis. The work of cleaning up the
herds is going on rapidly and by the
first of next month should be fin
ished with the result that all dairy
herds in the county will then be
free from bovine tuberculosis.
1t is the aim of the organizers to
enroll every citizen of the valley
in this organization in order that
the valley may be advertised as a
dairy community and also to extend
and develop markets for Imperial
Valley dairy products. In addition
to this the institute will aim at in
creasing the present per capita con-
Sumption of dairy products, not only
here but also outside the county.
The county should capitalize on
its resources, Macdonald said and
he pointed out that there is an op-
portunity for the community as a
whole to sell the valley dairy pro
ducts. Constructive publicity, backed
by the united efforts of the entire

The matter was LETT at that stage

Close Guard Against Rioting In
Paris As FIandin Takes Con-

BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


PARIS, Nov. 9.-Pierre- -Eitenne
Flandin, As, the Republics young
est premier, today took up the
| task of leading the national through
one of its gravest peace time Pc
riods as head of a new salvation
government.
He did so under the coldly
watchful eyes of millions of people
who demand government without
party politics, and who seemed
ready to turn into the streets in
riot if necessary to enforce their
demand.
There were heavy police and Re-
publican guard patrols in the CEN
| trail districts of Paris but the city
was quiet.
Flandin and 71-year- Gaston
Doumergue, whom he replaced
and who was a colonial judge in
Indo-China the year in which
Flandin was born, alike appealed
to the nation to be calm.
The new premier, feet inches
tall, the nations largest as he is
youngest political leader, called a
meeting of his cabinet for p. m.
today (noon EST. He announced
he would face the chamber of dep
uties Tuesday to make. his minis
terial declaration and seek vote
of confidence.
F'landin began today to draft his
ministerial declaration, embracing
his program, for discussion at the
cabinet meeting.
Newspapers, including the cppo-
sition Socialist ones, were gener-
ally favorable to Flapdin today.
Observers believed he would get
the budget through before Christ
mas and that period of calm
would follow until the Saar pie

find a solution to the problem
which is of concern to all branches

Representative Of the grapefruit
growers stated that if their pro-
ration Of water fer their groves is
not continued they will suffer a
great less and with this in view
they felt it would be impossible for
them to give up any water in favor
OF ether valley industries. They
pointed cut that the trees could
