Judge Vaughn Thompson or
Charles Chi|ders?

Vaughn N. Thompson has lived and worked in
Imperial County since the beginning of this great
agricultural empire He has been Judge Of the superior
court during the years when county was reaching
the peak of its development Today he is asking the
people to vote for him as candidate to succeed hm-
self
Judge Thompson very young man helped
his father reclaim some of this desert. He work
ing at manual labor when he set himself to become
lawyer He won his success the hard way, studying
in law offices and by himself-then finally taking
the bar examination and being admitted to practice
No finer judicial qualities have ever been at
tributed to any Judge of superior court than those
possessed by Judge Thompson. y
A good American Judge with excellent rec
ord true to his oath, fearless in making his decisions,
should be returned to the bench
What the qualifications and what is the
record of his opponent, Charles Chders?
Mr.. Childers was resident of Imperial county
for many years. He served with some distinction as
legal advisor for the Imperial Irrigation District
from 1923 to 1884. During that time he acquired de-
tailed information of the business and operation and
of the legal problems of this district He gained many
friends and was considered loyal citizen of the
county. In 1884 he replaced.
He moved away from the valley and changed his
allegiance from us to our legal opponents.
In 1897 he used the knowledge he had gained
during the years he the District payroll to
sell his services to minority holders of Imperial rri
cation District bonds He entered into legal fight
against the people who had called him friends and
against the community he had for many years called
home. - al
Now he and his family have moved back, and he
is asking the people of this county to elect him to
position of highest honor-and incidentally to put :
him on the county payroll.
Which of these two men will get your vote? a I
man who has stood like rock for American prn- /,
cpes and who has been steadfastly loyal to the best
interests of this valley at all times, whose
friendship have had only as long kept him
on the payroll.
We not implying that Mr. Childers, as a.
lawyer, was unethical in taking a client where he
could find one. But it is conclusive proof that the
best interests of this community we're for him,
ondary to personal interests
Judge Thompson has been for the valley, of the
valley and in the valley whether on the payroll off
of it. There is who can give one instance in
which Judge Thompson disoyal to this
valley, whether by word or by deed
His record IS full of self-sacrfice service and
loyalty to Imperial County-and to the highest prin-
clpes of Democracy.
We earnestly urge your support for this good
man. Return Vaughn N. Thompson to the superior
court Of Imperial County.

Hemsley's drive had been a couple
of feet to the left or right. it would
have been good for two bases and
two runs and Russo would have
been hanging on the ropes.

had a brainstorm, got nobody out
and one run came in. He looked
at the plate. then looked at first,
then at second and finally de-
cided to throw to second. When he
did he heaved the ball into center
field. After Russo's single drove
in Dickey, Milnar got another
chance to make double play on
Gordon's bounder to the box. Again
he hesitated but this time he threw
true and Mack dropped the ball.

the Yanks had nine runs.
