REPUBLICANS GET STARTED


Formation of a branch of the Califor-
MIA Republican Assembly in this county,
is indeed cheering news to those of that
party who have bemoaned the general
apathy which has hung over the party
as whole since the 1892 election.
1t is an indication that Republicans
are far from being eliminated as a fact
or in the political life of the nation, and
hope that Republicans everywhere will
do the one thing necessary to make a
good showing at the polls next year
organize.
We say make a showing for chances
of victory seem slim, yet are not entirely
hopeless. Dissatisfaction with the pres
ent administration is by no means con-
fined to the Republican ranks. This
week, in conversation with a man who
has been a Democrat all his life, and
who has taken an active part in politics,
he deplored the wasteful inefficiency
and extravaganza Of the administration
in connection with public works.
He is by no means alone in his position,
There are others and many of them IN
all parts of the country.
The branch of the Assembly organ
lied here carries the name of numerous
men young enough to be active and old
enough to be experienced. They have the
ability to tackle job that is difficult
but can be successfully accomplished.
That Job is to state clearly the position
of the Republican party on problems
concerning the whole nation. to expose
the weakness of the Democratic position,
and above all. to win back to the party
those Republicans and independents who,
dissatisfied with everything in general,
voted the Democratic ticket three years
ago in the hope that any change would
be for the better.
They have excellent material with
which to work The national deficit is
greater than it has ever been in time OF
peace; the public debt has reached
new high; wages are none too high and
prices are moving upward; unemploy-
ment has shown only slight decrease
from the peak figure, despite all the
spending and all the lavish promises of
thS administration. Business has been
handicapped by unconstitutional legisla-
tion until it is fearful of every step it
takes.
A militant form of Republicanism
which will ignore the STUFFED shirt at
titude of bygone days, which will be able
to persuade the people that the Repub-
lican party stands firmly behind the
Constitution of the United States, which
grants to all the right to conduct their
own affairs in their own way consistent
with the general good, can accomplish a
great deal between now and next years
election
The way to success is through active
organization in every precinct. Imper-
ial county, long normally Republican,
can be swung back to that political posi-
tion if the branch of the Assembly is
willing to lead the way.

ground and then Wen have fun

Indeed they do" said Uncle
Wiggily.
Why Leaves Fall
But what makes the leaves fall?'
asked the little orphan rabbit as she
skipped about amid those dropping
from trees. Some landed on Bunty's
head and once leaf tickled her
pink nose.
The leaves fall" said Uncle Wig
gily, because the tree is getting
ready to go to sleep for the Win
ter and its branches can no longer
hold the leaves on. The branches
let go of the leaves and they fall.
Next year there will be new leaves .
Il know" said Bunty. Then it
will be Spring. love the Spring of
the year when everything is so
fresh and green. Ira, la, la,la, lal"
she sang little song as she skipped
about amid the falling leaves.
"All times of the year are lovely
when you are happy" said the rab-
cit gentleman as he and Bunty
hoped on through the woods.
Soon they came to little dinghy
dell, or hollow place, about which
grew many oak and maple trees
which seem to have the most beau
tifully colored leaves. Here the wind
was blowing and hundreds of leaves
were falling.
This dinghy dell will be a good
place for us to rest, Unkie Wig, "
! said Baby Bunty. Let's lie down
and go to sleep
This the two rabbits did, making
: bed on the newly fallen leaves.
Before they quite knew what was

And as they slept more leaves fell
on them, partly covering them, as
you cover yourself with blankets in
bed.

from the Hollow Tree School, had

ROUGH BOUTS
EXPECTED At
LOCAL ARENA

The roughst bouts possible to OBJ
tain have ben signed to wrestle in
Ell Centre this Thursday night when
the big matnen clash in the open
air arena.
Antonio Fez, half breed Mexi-
can, and his pponent, Al Bisignano
who last weti showed his worth by
flattening Ssndor Szabo, is a match
that few Eomoters are brave
enough to resent without ample
police protetion. Felez was de-
ported from Mexico after series
of bouts then that wound up with
him blindins an opponent so Sc
verely that he man lost his eye
sight for seyaal weeks. Felez does
many uncalla for things and it is
often difflcut to obtain men to
wrestle him but Bisignano feels he
is capable d protecting himself
against injuY from the Mexican
terror.
The Other preliminary match
which promises to outshine the
main event between Hans Steinke
and Man Maintain Dean, is the
Milo SteinbOm-Pat Fraley brawl.
Fraley, a Dublin, Ireland, native, is
a throwback 10 the old fighting
Irish type such as John L. Sullivan
and Jake Rltain, men that made
the boxing game the bloody spec
tacle it onceyas. Steinborn is the
strongest man in the world, accord
ing to the wight lifting records he
holds and he amazing feats OF
strength he can do, but he will
have TO bring all his marvellous
strength lnb action early in the
match or lind himself a we'll beaten
