mitted to Senator william E.
Borah Of Idaho. That result sur
prised even the Landon camp it
self, for Senator Borah had been
reckoned a strong figure there.
It was the first out-and-out test
of strength between Landon and
Borah in q Midwest State, and
the Kansas Governor won rather
easily.
In Tennessee, the Republican
State convention virtually deliv-
cred the States II delegates to
Landon. One district ~emains in
doubt, but prospects are that the
TenneSSeans will be found voting
for Landon at Cleveland unless
the delegates disobey the inStruc-
tionS of the convention.

On the whole, the Landon man
ayers figure that Of the conven-
ton delegates chosen yesterday
they will have considerably more
than half. They are virtually as
sured Of South Dakota's 8 and
Tennessee's II, plus whatever they
get from CALIFORNIA; A. And they
figure on a minimum Of is there.
The next primary test Of i'm
portance comes in Ohio next
Tuesday. Governor Landon did
not enter the Ohio contest, nor
did his supporters there put up a
slate. The Ohio field was left
clear to Senator Borah and to the
State organizations favorite-Son
candidate, Robert A. Taft, son Of
the late President.
Ohio will offer the supreme test
of Senator Borah's candidacy.
Unless the Senator is able to come
out Of Ohio with q creditable
showing his chances at Cleveland
would appear well-nigh hopeless.
Borah delegates won in Wiscon-
sin, in down-State Illinois districts,
and he has a scattering in other
Northwestern States outside of
his own Idaho. But he has met
with rebuffs in the Eastern States
and appears without support of
any consequence east Of the Ale
ghenies.
Easy for Roosevelt
On the Democratic side, the bal
loting gave President Roosevelt
easy sailing everywhere. The Roose-
welt slate of delegates to the Phila-
delphia convention rode to q
rather easy victory over two rival
states in California, one committed
to Upton Sinclair's epic" pro-
gram, and another to Representa-
tive John McGroarty, leader Of the
Townsend bloc in the House.
Maryland Democrats on Monday
furnished a protest vote against
the New Deal by casting some IT.
900 votes for Col. Henry Breckin-
ridge, as against $4,000 for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Democratic man.
ayers are inclined to deprecate
this protest vote, on the ground
that Maryland Democrats never
were warm to Mr.. Roosevelt any
way.
The Democratic managers get
more satisfaction out Of the open
endorsement of Mr.. Roosevelt by
William Green, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
Green said yesterday in a speech:

The Landon advocates, how
ever, did not look upon the re-
suits as a defeat, asserting the
Kansas governor now will merely
have the votes Of the unin-

independent Landon group.

Vention yesterday Endorsed the
Kansas governor and instructed
Tennessee's IT delegates to vote
for him at Cleveland "as long
as his name shall be before the
convention"
The instructions, among the
most sweeping yet given for the
Kansan, applied technically only
to eight delegateS-at-large elected
by the convention, each with one.
half q vote. Actually, as IL OF
Is district delegates are already
locally instructed for Landon and
the remaining district will in
struct for him a week hence,
the result Of today's action is to
line up the great border State
Of Tennessee solidly behind the
governor of Kansas.
Goes Further
But Tennessee's delegates are
not merely instructed for Landon,
The convention went further, and
included in it's resolution instruc-
lions to the delegation Ito do all
in their power to nominate him
as the standard-bearer Of the Re
publican party"
P. R. Thatch. Of Chattanooga,
was Endorsed as the Republican
candidate for Governor of Ten.
nesee, and Dwayne Maddox, OF
Huntingdon, for United States
Senator. The convention thus
sought to avoid party friction by
the elimination Of the Republican
primary in August, with a view
to strengthening the Republican
ticket. Although vast amount
Of public money has been spent
under the Tennessee Valley Au'
thority in this State, a deter
mined Republican effort will be
made to carry Tennessee in No
vember for the State and national
ticket.
With this in mind the conven-
ton significantly appealed di-
rectly to the ,anti"New Deal"
Democrats of Tennessee, by Sc
lecting as one of the eight dele
gates-atlarge Justin Potter, promi-
nent Nashville business man, and
pro-Landon Democrat.
New Deal Denounced
The eight delegates-at-large are
Representative B. Carroll Reece,
Judge John Jennings, Of Knox
vile: w. M. Abels, Of South Pitts
burgh; State Chairman Howard B.
Sofner, Of Nashville; Mrs. Beulah
Hughes, Of Murfreesboro; DR.. E. M.
Smith, Of Bethel Springs; Justin
Potter. of Nashville, and William
Garrison, of CroSSville.
Judge Jennings, who made the
keynote address, bitterly indicted
the New Deal and the Roosevelt
administration with it's endless
abuses and usurpations." In in
dorsing Governor Landon, he said:
"He has not sought the NOM
nation. The nomination is seek
: ing him. In him the hour and
man have met.
"The nation has made q
beaten path to his door. Those
who have seen him and talked
to him, who have listened to
and read his public addresses,
are convinced that in him is .
Standard.bearer in whom they
can safely trust. He is opposed
to Squandering the nations in
heritanCe. He believes that the
greatest reform that could come
to this country is recovery"

LIBERATING PRISON LABOR

Contract labor and the lease" system,
two revolving feature of American prison sys-
tenn received blow when the constitutionallty
Of the Hawes- Cooper Act prohibiting interstate
commerce in prison-made goods was recently
upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
For years advocates CT prison reform have
attacked contract labor, whereby prisoners are
compelled to work in prison workshops foT prl-
vate interests which have contracted with the
state for their services The lease" system still
in evidence IN some states has had an even more
inglorious history. in which prisoners have been
leased out to private companies to labor under
slavelike conditions.

many Of the states another problem to think
about The necessity of keeping prisoners con-
structively employed has long been recognized.
With the loss Of markets in other states brought
about by the passage Of this act many states

City Clerk Gives
Facts Pertaining
To Official Bond

The City Clerk of sixth class city,
under which classification the City
of Ell Centro comes, is not the fin
ancial officer of the city. The fin
ancial officer of the city is the City
Treasurer, who is charged with the
custody of all city funds; conSe-
quently the bond of the City Clerk,
which is set by an ordinance in the
amount of $5000.00 is not as great
as the bond of the Treasurer, which
is also set by city ordinance. Both
officers are required to furnish
good and sufficient bond that must
be passed upon by the City Attorney
and the City Council, and in the
event that any officer who is re-
quired by ordinance to furnish
bond, is unable to do so, the City
Council must, at the expiration of
ten days time, declare the office
vacant and appoint a successor.
The accounts of the City Clerk
and the City Treasurer are recon-
ciled to each other at the end of
each month and a general statement
of the city'S affairs and financial
condition is compiled by the City
Clerks office and submitted to the
City Council at the end of each
thirty days.
All city officers whose duties re-
quire that they furnish a bond are
required to file their official bond
with the City Clerk, with the ex-
ception of the City Clerk, whose
bond is filed with the Mayor. The
files in the City Clerks office con-
tain the official bonds of all city
officers who, by ordinance, are re-
quired to furnish bonds, and these
bonds have all been passed upon
and approved by the City Attorney
and the City Council.
There is no reason why the bonds
of all the city officers will not be
continued in force or rewritten, as
the case may be. Personally I have
the written assurance of the Mary
land Casualty Company, the original
writer's of my official bond when
elected two years ago that in event
of reelection they will re-write my
bond for the ensuing term of office.
l can therefore assure the people
of FL Centro that if they return me
to office I can qualify in every re-
Spect as to experience, ability and
legal requirements.

to purchase supplies made by inmates of correc-
tional institutes.
The Hawes-Cooper Act had among its prin-
cipaI sponsors organized labor The bill was
considered necessary to protect free labor from
the inroads allegedly being made by prison labor.
Yet the prison workshop fufills twofold pur-
pose. 1t improves prison morale and helps pay
the costs of maintaining prison. LaborS con-
tributon to the solution of the problem might
we'll be willingness to cooperate with prison
administrators in working out plan whereby
both free and prison labor will have their own
niche and will not necessarily compete.
An excellent example of how such coopera-
ton might work seen in Massachusetts in
the building of the modern and model Norfolk
Prison Colony few years ago. The work was
done by skilled laborers with prisoners for help
ers, and the State Building Trades Council
allowed the prisoners working on the project
credit toward the requirements for union men,
bership. Further cooperation such as this would
be of tremendous value in solving the ever-vex
ing problem Of prison labor.

Another ShOrteT-HOHIS Bill 8.
Good Chance to Pass :. Certain
To Be Legal =.

WASHINGTON.-The 3O-hour-week bill, Ia
borS pet. is regarded as dead for this session CT
Congress.
But another bill is pending which is regarded
as lust as good as far as it goes, and this one
has good chance Of passing 1t is the Walsh
bill which provides NRA-like regulation of
hours and wages for all plants which hope TO
sell any material to the government.
1t provides that the government may buy
material only from firms that abide by the con-
ditions set.
The strong feature of the Walsh bill is that
nobody doubts that its constitutional. The fed
eral government has the right to buy from whom
it likes and under such conditions as 1t likes
and nobody questions that right.
That's why report that word has been
passed around that the Walsh bill should be
law by April ! spread considerable CONSERVATION
in certain business circles.
backfire was Immediately started. The
number of industrial and producing firms that
sell something to the government, especially
these days, would surprise you.
Those government contracts so juicy
that if established firms refused to meet the
conditions of wages and hours set, and lost the
contracts, they might even see new firms set up
on that basis to supply the government needs.
The government might even go into the
business of making its own supplies on an ex
tensive scale if business in general refused to
comply and thus becomes eligible fer the buSi-
ness.
The A. F. of L. is backing the Walsh bill
strongly and there seems little doubt that it
will pass if brought to a vote. The only ques-
ton is whether the oackfire started against it
will be hot enough TO prevent vote.
Everybody in Washington has been amazed
at the way agitation against the supreme court
uueted down directly after the partial victory
of IVA 1t is now regarded as certain that
none of the 40-o6d proposals now pending to re-
strict the power of the court will pass at this
session.
In fact the tide has receded SO far that it is
not likely either party will adopt clear decar-
alton of policy on the court in the conventions

Job people decent little cottages at around $500,

division promoters see their own traditional busi-
ness threatened.
But on the other hand, extreme radicals are
equally sore at Tugwell for this sort OF enter
prise because they claim he is just selling down
the river into home ownership and indepen-
dence a lot Of people who if footlooSe and prop
ertylesS would make good fodder for the "prolet-

NATURALIZATION OF ALIENS

Try is iR conflict ICith The farming

lem
A national question of special inter
est to Imperial Valley was briefly touch
ed upon by James E. Van Zandt. v F.
w conmander-n-chef in his address to
Imperial Valley veterans the other day
at CaleXico. In the course of explaining
the V.F.W. national platform, Van Zandt
stressed that the organization favored
giving aliens a one-way ticket home if
they refused to become naturalized
Viewed from a national standpoint,
there would appear to be Just cause for
such a policy. Today, on relief and there
fore supported by American pocket
books, are countless non-naturaliZed for
eigners. Others of the same class COM
pete with American workers, take Amer
lean wages, do American jobs and accept
American charity. At the same time.
they do not build American assets nor
participate in programs increasing the
stability of American homelife and econ
omic conditions. Citizens of good stand
ing are being taken care of through C.
&C. camps. often because work which
they could do is being handled by cheap
alien labor who may or may not remain
in this country and partake of American
habits, ideals and standards. In all fields
of endeavor whether they be industrial
or agricultural, such alien labor becomes
the fostering spot of radicalism and un-
reasoning troubles So the intent and
purpose and reasoning behind compel
ling naturalization seems to be sound
and warranted.
On the other hand, Imperial Valley
farmers find cheap foreign labor desir-
able 1t can stand the hours, the pay,
the climate and the work. The economy
of profit is founded upon the use of
much alien labor which, when work
slacks can retreat back home for spell,
(that is. if local relief rolls are not re-
sorted to. which is quite often the case).
If such labor returns home, it takes
away the spending money earned here.
If it remains on relief, the same Amerl-
can taxpayers, must pay the bill.
There should be a program to coor-
dinate the principle of naturalization
with the practical facts of economic
needs. Not until this has been found
will true, permanent basis of economy
be achieved. The problem is well worth
close consideration by everyone.
