COL. ED FLETCHER

We favor the election of Col. Ed Flet-
cher because he has done more for I'm
perial Valley in the comparatively minor
position of state senator from San Diego
county, than his opponent has done
of this district in Washington. We be-
lieve Col. Fletcher knows the problems
of this valley, while his opponent has
displayed a remarkable ignorance of
them.
Further than this, we could not sup
port his opponent and at the same time
support Mr.. Willkie, any more than we
could support Col. Fletcher and not
support Mr.. Willkie, because Fletcher's
opponent-as a rubber stamp - stands
for all that Mr. Willkie is fighting
against. So we recommend the election
of Col. Fletcher.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-11-04
WENDELL l.. WILLkIE

Between the ability of Mr.. Willkie and
the third-term candidate, we see little
for comparison. Born in poverty where
his opponent was born in wealth, edu-
Gated by bis own struggle where his op-
ponent was sent to the most expensive
of private schools, successful to the
highest degree in a difficult profession
while his opponent failed in the only
business enterprise he ever undertook,
democratic in the truest sense of the
word where his opponent has famed
class hatreds for eight years, We believe
Mr.. Willkie the truest representative of
the spirit of America.
Furthermore we believe Mr.. Willkie
the abest administrator of the two, the
most sincere, the least inclined to make
events serve a political purpose regard
less of the economic shock such political
maneuvering may bring.
Beyond these things, we stand unalter-
ably opposed to violating the tradition
that no American president shall per-
petuate himself in office by seeking a
third term which might lead-by the
same arguments-to a fourth and a fifth
and eventually to royal family for the
United States.

ACTION ON HATCH
MEASURE SOUGHT
Dempsey Files Petition To
Wrest Bill From Com

WASHINGTON, May a. N - A
three-fold effort to force house ac-
ton on a bill to extend the Hatch
"anti-politics" act surged ahead to-
day.
Representative Dempsey D-NM),
house sponsor Of the measure which
would extend the acts ban on poll
tical activity to state employees paid
in whole or part from federal funds,
filed a petition to wrest the bill from
judiciary committee pigeonhole
and before adjournment tonight, 103
of the required 21S signatures were
affixed.
Meanwhile, a campaign was in pro-
gress to insure reconsideration of the
judiciary committees IA to 10 secret
vote which tabled the measure earl
ier in the week. Two committee
mmebers, Representative Murdock
D.Utah) and Guyer (R-Kas), served
notice they would offer motions for
such reconsideration at the commit
tees next regular meeting Tuesday.
Guyer forecast that not single
vote would be cast then against
