Ruling Made on
District Ballot

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 81. UP
The state supreme court today is
sued a writ of mandate to G.. A. Hol
brook to require the directors of the
Imperial Irrigation district to place
the names of candidates at the Feb
ruary election on the ballot and
distribute the ballots in divisions /,
3 and instead of and 4. The
writ is returnable Jan. 8.
The mandamus action was thought
to be an, effort to keep the offices
of assessor-collector and treasurer
off the ballot, since they are voted
upon in all divisions. If Divisions
2 and 4 were not allowed to vote,
the assessor collector and treasurer
could not be elected.

President Roosevelt's remarks about

one of the leaders in the race for

The President used the film to
make a point in his speech-that
growth and progress invariably and

blindly opposed" In the film Pasteur
is continually denounced as a charla-
tan by leading members of the French
Academy of Medicine. and achieves
his great results only by daring to
face the opposition of almost every
one in France.
