the cost of maintaining the present
system OF Judges appointing attor-
neys to represent the defendants
who cannot employ attorneys to
represent them in criminal actions,
was requested by the board. ID. B.
Roberts. Fred Trude and M. c.
Atkinson appeared for the bar
association and said the present
system worked a hardship upon the
= practicing attorneys in the coun-
". The county would save money
by paving a public defender $3.50
a month by the waving of jury
trials and avoidance of delays, the
attorneys said.
Supervisors decided to send
telegram to government officials
protesting the plan of employing
80 percent relief labor on federal
projects underway in the county
while the local residents who have
never been on relief cannot be
given employment. Many of the
Jobs on federal projects, according
to Supervisor A. Y. Preble, go to
aliens on relief rolls while Amer
lean citizens are refused work be-
cause they have been able to keep
off the relief rolls.
Col. w. F. Nicholson appeared
before the board to protest the
treatment accorded Mexican en-
ploye of his who died in the county
hospital recently of a fractured
skull. Col. Nicholson said the Mex
lean was taken to the hospital at
$50 o'clock in the morning and had
been given no treatment at noon
when he arrived to look after him.
He said no one had aScertained
that the Mexican had a broken
leg even though he had been in
the hosital several hours. The board
took no action because the doctor
from the county hosital was not
present at the meeting.
State officials are to be contacted
relative to disposition of the tram
sient camp established in this
county and which was turned over
to the county when the state fin
ished with it, supervisors said.

Santa Inez by his daughter, Mrs
Myra Hacker.
Before his ship docked in the
North river, attorneys for Bruno
Richard Hauptmann and represent
atives of Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of
New Jersey began an attack which
they hope will at least temporarily
save Hauptmann from death.
In essence they intend to ask him
why he said before and after Haupt
mann'S trial, that he was convinced
several persons took active parts IN
the kidnapping, but testified at the
trial that he believed Hauptmann
was a lone wolf"
Unless they shake Condon'S story
Hauptmann almost certainly will be
electrocuted three weeks and three
days from today in Trenton state
prison. HauptmannS attorneys prob
ably will request a new trial on the
strength of new evidence and ask
Tor another court of pardons hear
ing. But both pleas almost certain
iy will be futile unless "JafSie
changes his testimony.
Before the Santa Inez reached
quarantine Condor sent word TO
Governor Hoffman that he was
ready to answer any question, but
he made it plan that he would not
enter New Jersey to do 1t.
Hoffman intimated last week
that he might ask Police Commits
sioner Lewis j. Valentine OF New
York to cross examine Condor If he
refused to go to Trenton. Reports
from Trenton said today that the
governor might come to New York
himself.

Relief Case Load
Reaches Lou Point

Imperial county's relief case load
is the lowest since the old State
Emergency Relief administration
became active several years ago.
according to w. S. Filter, head OF
the State Relief administration.
The case load is composed OF 327
families which means that LASS
individuals are dependent upon re-
lief administration by the SRA.
All unemployables recently were
dropped from the SRA rolls, con-
stituting the reason for the low
case load. Some of the unemploy-
ables are said to be in desperate
circumstances and county relief
agencies are making an effort to
care for them. The unemployables
were dropped by the SRA by or
der Of the state organization, Filter

He went on:
Whenever some irresponsible ad-
venturer thinks he sees an oppor-
tunity- to launch a political racket
which means whenever he scents the
possibility of getting financial backing
our Republican friends announce the
advent OF Democratic revolt. Political
changes do not come about that way.
Forty years ago the same element that

stltuted a third ticket and I doubt II
half Of you-and you are adopts in

Liberty League is doing now. without

Turning his guns on the Republi-
cans, Farley said:
Nobody knows who will be the Re-
publican nominee. Least of all the
Republicans. They dare not nominate
Herbert Hoover, the most eminent pro-
ponent of the do-nothing policy that
brought on the great economic
calamity. for they know that when
the people in 1882 cast the Hoover
administration overheard they reg
istered more than political decision.
The people then pronounced a verdict,
not only against the then President,
but against the whole reactionary
group.

They cannot nominate Senator
Borah, because that veteran of 30
years of political battling must be
poison to the crowd whose league is
championing the crusade against all
that is being done to keep the country
safe from the depredations of its
sponsors. Inevitably they will be
driven to some colorless individual
unknown until paid propaganda builds
up a fabulous picture and presents it
to the people as some one worthy to
direct the destinies of the United
States.
There can be but one honest issue
in this campaign, and that is whether
President Roosevelt has done well or
i'll by his country,
We Democrats have nothing at all
to fear If we do our job and work
earnestly. but it would be foolhardy
to feel that we can lay down on that
job and let the other fellows campaign
uncontradicted and unhindered.
Just remember as we go into the
fight that Franklin D. Roosevelt is the
hope of every man who suffers and
the foe of every man who does wrong. -
