sentiment in West Virginia IN
regard to the Republican no,ni-
nee for president has not yet
crystalized. The present situa-
ton includes several possibiB-
ties, among them a primary pref
crcncc for Dewey. Taft, Vanden-
burg or some other favorite. or
an uninstructed delegation.
Under existing law preference
as registered in the May primary
would be only morally and not
legally binding on the states six
teen delegates TO the national
convention but one candidate for
a place on the big four" Hon.
Randolph Bias. veteran William
son attorney, is an out and ont
Dewey supporter and will cast
his vote for Dewey unless in
structod TO the contrary. o
Mr.. Bias is the first candidate
to declare a preference for any
particular candidate and his sup
port of Dewey is based on the
belief that Dewey will prove a
winner sbccausc of his strong
popular appeal, character, cour-
age and color. Then, Mr.. Bias
believes, Dewey can carry the
pivotal state of New York.
DcWey's youth is an asset
rather than handicap, MT. Bias
believes, and with him rs the
nominee Republicans everywhere
will be aroused and filled with
confidence and enthusiasm, no
matter whether Roosevelt or the
man on whom he Grapes his
mantle is the opposing candi-
date. q
Mr.. Bias is widely known
throughout the state as Repub-
lcan leader. Born in Lincoln
county he has made his home
in Williamson for forty years.
His high standing in his profes-
sion is evidenced by his election
in 1927 as president Of the state
bar association. n Kiwanian for
20 years he was the first presi-
dent of the Williamson club and
governor Of the West Virginia
district in 1926. He was one OF
the four West Virginia lay dep
uties to the last six general con-
ventions OF the Episcopal church.

1 official position, his off1cia

slush fund by taking two PEI
cent of the salaries of his sub
ordinate employees every month
was made public more than a
year ago. The case against him
then was as strong as it IS now.
McKenna, arrested by the U.
S. Marshall at the instance of
L. R. Va, u. S. District Attorney,
and due for treial before Judge
George McClintic on April rs,
was charged with illegally using
franked envelopes It is unknown
how much will be brought out
at his trial about the extortion of
political funds from state work
ers and who the chief hen were
who ordered the assessments.
The public, however, is interest
ed in this phase of the matter
because the taxpayers them
selves are the ones who have
been paying the tribute.
Although the statehouse was
apparently not greatly worried
over the McKenna matter some
observers are of the opinion that |
sooner or later similar action
may be take against the score or
more branch managers, who are
said to have used frahked en-
velopes just as the chief Of the |
service did. y
If these subordihates are
brought into court and faced
with the chance Of a term in
prison, it may be that some will
break down and tell the whole
story. McKenna himself may be
to take the rap for the
rest of the statehouse wing, tho
that remains to be seen.

THE NEv-CAL OFFER
OF AUXILIARY POWER

Directors of the Imperial Irrigation
District should give thoughtful consider
alton to the offer made by President a.
B. West of the NevaGa-C California Elec
trio company to sell auxiliary power to
the district.
This does not mean that the district
should accept the offer, Il does mean,
however, that the offer should not be
rejected until all phases Of the problem
connected with il have been explored
by cXperts.
Prejudice leads - AN Immediate m
clination 10 turn down Mr Vests offer.
Good business sense dictates that il
should be considered without prejudice,
simply as business proposition.
If the offer can save the district mon
ey by avoiding the necessity of costly
addition To the BraWlty diesel plant.
and do so without binding the district
unfairly, and Wthopt giving the Ncv-
Cal an unfair competitive advantage, II
is good offer.
If, on the other hand il would en-
barrass the district in the competitive
field, provide the Nev-Cal with unend-
ing propaganda material and hinder
eventual complete operation Of the dis
trict's power system, it is a bad offer
Only experts can Judge its merit-and
they should be impartial experts.
The district, because of delay III COM
pletion Of the All American canal, is in
4 position today where it must add far
beyond original estimates To its Brawlry
plant, obtain additional electricity from
some other distributor, or let its power
system remain dormant until hydro
electric power is available from the All
American canal. None Of the three al
ternatives is particularly attractive, yet
one must be adopted.
The NevCal offer provides a possible
solution. 1t deserves the same consider
alton that should be given the other al
ternatives. Since one must be adopted,
all should be studied thoroughly and
completely.
The time has passed when hatred and
prejudice should guide decisions on such
vital issues, where large sums Of money
are at stake. The time has come when
the word of impartial, recognized eX-
perts should be sought and recognized
as valuable.
If there is a joker in the NevCal Of
fer, it should be discovered and pointed
out If the offer is nothing but sound
business, it should be treated as such.
This is no occasion for hasty action.

EASTER SERVICES

Plans for countrywide Easter sunrise
services at Mt. Sigma! could Very easily
be developed into an annual commemor-
alton rivaling that OF San Diego's famous
Mt. Helix.
Mt. Signal is the valleys most promi-
nent feature. ideally fitted to such a
celebration. 1t is better for the purpose
even than Mt Helix, services on which
annually lure many residents Of this
county to San Diego.
Services conceived in non-denomina-
tional cooperation and carried Out by
the concerted efforts ot all Imperial
Valley religious and civic leaders could
make Of Mt Signal an Easter shrine to
which thousands would journey each
year. The fame Of Imperial Valleys
sunrise services could be made to spread
throughout all Of southern California,
