Townsend Club No. /
InsiaIIs New Officers

AT one of the largest meetings of
the winter season, Townsend Club
No. l met at the Y. M. C. A. Friday
evening, Jan. 7, in regular session
and elected the following officers
for the ensuing term:
M. j. Mulholland, president; VIM.
Barth, vice president; C. J. Penney,
secretary; Mrs. Elizabeth Gill, treas
urer; Mrs. Mary Shallenberger, Carl
Meyer, Mrs. Grace Roderick, Mrs.
M. Mckay and H. F. Pissot, advisory
board.
Albert st. George, retiring presi-
dent, installed the newly elected
officers.
Mr.. st. George, who declined to
accept any office for the ensuing
year, has since joining Club No. /,
served a term as chairman of the
advisory board, two terms as treas
urer, and two terms as president,
and it is in great measure due to his
zeal and executive ability that he
turns owe to his successor, M. j.
M~ulholland, an harmonious and
progressive organization, numerical
ly and financially in the best condi-
ton of its history.
In concluding the installation
ceremony, Mr.. st. George spoke in
part as follows:
I'VE have seen one recovery
panacea after another put forward
by economists and fail to bring
permanent prosperity. We have
still unemployment and increasing
need for relief appropriations. We

The Silver Bow County unit of

Sylvester Graham, secretary of

Mr.. Sylvester Graham,
1914 Stewart St.,
Butte, Montana.
Dear Sir and Brother:
You" letter of December % is re-
ceived, with names of officers of the
Butte local unit of Labor's Nom
Partisan League.
This letter will constitute notice
of approval by the national office
of the formation of the Butte unit.
We do not yet issue charters gen.
orally but approval of the formation
of the unit is herewith given and
has the same effect. At some time
in the future, when a permanent
state organization has been set up
in Montana, charters do~ubtlessly
viii be issued.
In accordance with your request,
| am forwarding copies of leaflets
relative to principles and policies of
the League. Membership in the
League usually depends upon ap-
proval by existing local units. In
most states, where permanent or
CARNATIONS have been set up, local
unions or other organizations are
not admitted except upon approval
of the state organization. This of
course is necessary to prevent COM
pany unions and other than bona
fide organizations from securing
members.
Sincerely and f%raternally yours,
E. L. OLIVER,
Executive Vice-Pres.
Vice President Graham has an
nounced that a series of educational
and recruiting meetings is being or
ganized, the first of which will be
held in the near future. In this
congressional election year, Labor's
Non-Partisan League in Montana,
together with the Farmers Union,
with whom a working agreement
for the election campaign has been
entered into on a national and state
scale, and with progressive unions
of the American Federation of La
Dor, expects to take an active part
in forming a state program and in
the endorsement and election of
progressive candidates.

81 YEAR OLD
JAIL vETE
VISITS VALLEY

An octogenarian, grizzled
veteran Of jails and prisons
from Wisconsin to California
is the oldest man ever book
ed at the Imperial county
jail.
This grandfather Of all prisoners
was jailed recently for disturbing
the peace. His sentnce was sched-
uled to run for IS days but he
didn't stay in jail long. His physi-
cal condition forced officers TO
transfer him to the county hospital
for treatment. He is there now.
James P. Murphy, 81, has a fin
gerprint record containing 50 en-
tries. The first entry treats Of
horse stealing in 1902 He was as
years Of age at the time There is
40 way OF knowing whether this
was his first offense or not ANY
way it is the first entry. He served
term IN the Washington state
prison for that and was released
in 1904 Guy Phillips was the name
he used al that time.
The record notes but four aliases,
Guy Phillips, James Ryan, James
Murphy and James P. Murphy. He
apparently decided the fingerprint
system made it useless to think up
a different name every time he
was arrested.
He has been an inmate of three
state prisons and AZ jails. He gave
his profession as a miner. Appar-
entity he did most of the mining
of his life within the walls of jails,
prisons and penitentiaries. Jails
in Wisconsin, Montana, Arizona,
and Oregon have known
him.
Drunk charges head the lsit with |
% entries for this offense. Other |
include bad checks, for
gerry, vagrancy, begging, mooching,

wanted as a fugitive.

Imperial Valley farmers met Tor
a roundtable conference. They
needed, they said at the time, some
kind of organization of farmers.
They wanted an organization with
nothing to do but protect agrlcul-
ture from the attacks of enemies
determined TO take control and
make the California farmer pust
another feeder into the NAV of a
great racket" This group decided
it was time for uthe farmers of the
state to organize to fight an or
ganized enemy.
At the annual convention of fruit
and vegetablegrowers that year,
1884, the basis of the association
was laid at the suggestion of I'm
perial Valley farmers. Their dream
crystallized. 1t answered a need.
There are Associated Farmers in
California, Washington, Oregon,
and Arizona today
Objects, Purposes
Objects and purposes, proudly
from headquarters, is blunt
statement of the intentions of the
incorporated body:
ITO protect, preserve and
maintain the constitutional form
of government in both nation
and state; to promote and pro-
fect the economic and agricul-
fural welfare of the citizens of
the United Safes, and particular
ly the citizens of California; to
oppose and combat any and all
doctrines and practices which
imperial the maintenance of
these constitutional liberties; to
protect thH American schools

which the educational system of

dren; TO fight against the infil-
tration of subversive doctrines in
the educational system and into
the government; ii combat the
dictatorship of individuals or
groups, and to promote tho
prompt. orderly and efficient ad-
ministratiOn of justice"
After the Imperial group gave
their idea a good start. they left
organization of the first units tC
other sections of the state. They
made no move to perfect their own
unit until two years ago. Before
then the Associated Farmers of
Imperial county had no office. no
officers, and only a small. inactive
membership.

came froce IN the county. Of
