 TOBE NOMINEE
State Senator Praises Con. gressman Joseph Talbot;
 Changes in State Seen

In answer to a published report in yesterdays Democrat that he was being groomed as Q likely successor to Cong. Joseph E. Talbot as con- gressman from the fifth district, state senator Joseph A, Neill of Watertown today declared that he would definitely accept such a nomination if approached" but "hnd no desire to oppose Joe Talbot who is doing . grand job"
 Reports persisted today that 0ov- ernor Raymond .. Baldwin was defi- nitely coveting a national post with the c. O. P. party, move. which if successful, would mean the choice of Cong. Talbot as successor for the gubernatorial nomination. Tn this likelihood Senator Neill was to be the choice. it was stated, to fill the gap replacing Cong. Talbot.
 Sources today stated that it was by no means certain that Gov. Bald win was still not coveting national honors pointing out the strong sup port given such Q move by influen- tial packers at the time of the re. cent Republican convention in Hart ford. Sources stated that willard Rogers and others highly influential in Republican state circles persist in their efforts to have the governor recognized nationally.
 Senator Neill is widely knowT throughout the state having served as one of the most independent minded of legislators in the last ses- sion where he was influential ir' opposing the adoption of the birth control bill killed In the last ses- sion. A well known industrialis, he is owner of the Watertown Mfg CO. and prominent in agricultural matters of the state. He is also e member of the governors state de. velopment commission a committed instituted to develop the industrial growth of the state.

A Night Out
A Siamese tom cat is one of the
most interesting animals in DR..
John PAGES charge. If you don't
believe it, listen to this.
Pace calls this cat a variety of
names, some of which the censor
won't let us print. The milo est is
Kitty. So we'll call him Kitty.
Expecting a man to put cooler
in his bedroom window, Pace took
down the screen. The man didn't
come but Pace left the screen Off
Early in the evening he saw Kitty
looking at the window. Kitty is a
valuable cat, you know. and is not
allowed to roam about the way his
alley cousins do.
Pace slept pretty well. About
{ lawn a noise aroused him. He
listened. There was a scratching
outside the window. a light scratch
ing. In a minute Kitty's head ap-
peared above the window sill. Kitty
crept cautiously into the room, laid
down in his basket. and settled
himself as though he had been
there all night.

Il don't blame these MeXicanS
for slipping into the United States
and getting the good wages now
being paid for farm work" busi-
neSsman said. Probably they
should wait and come in with Tie
nationals being sent by the MeXi-
can government through arrange
ment with the United States gov
ernment. But that takes time.
They take the quickest way and that
probably is a good thing for the
farmers when they need help and
can't get it through other channels.
It's a sort of good neighbor policy.
Certainly no sane American would
want to mistreat them"
Imperial Valley press., 1944-05-28

The plight" of Mexican aliens
helping harvest crops in Imperial
Valley has been the subject OF
widespread discussion since Paul
Scharrenberg. state director of in
dustfial relations. issued an Off
cisl statement this week declaring
they were living on ditch banks
under deplorable conditions.
A check of records kept by the
immigration and naturalization
service shoWed that a total OF 1904
of these so-called wet MeXicans
had been deported from Imperial
and Yuma Valleys during April.
One official said these men were
rounded up and deported as rapidly
as possible but that their staff
would have to be much larger &c
keep ahead of the game.
HELP SAVE CROPS
I'VE owe a Gebt of gratitude to
these wet MeXicanS,' one grower
said They have helped us har-
vest our crops and they have saved
food many times by being available
when we need them. When farm
ers need help they can't waste time
going over the status of the men
who come to them and offer to
work. TIE men need the work and
the farmers need the help. We
certainly have no reason to provide
poor living quarters but do have
reason TO provide good ones. l
think NEST of us do the best we
can"
One grower said that some of the
wet" Mexicans may be living on
ditch banks until they can get work
on a ranch but after that they
may live in quarters built for them
on the ranches where they get
work if they want to.
IF these men want to live on
ditch banks instead of in the houses
we provide for them" one farmer
said, II think that is their privilege.
Those men aren't criminals. They
have the right tc live where they
want to as long as they don't in
terfere with anyone. Surely We
haven't come to the place where
someone is trying to make these
men live one place when they want
to live another" was the opinion
expressed by still another rancher
County Agricultural Commission
er B. A. Harrigan said that thou
sands of dollars have been spent
by ranches TO provide quarters for
their workmen. Hot and cold water
showers. and other comforts are
available in many OF the places.
Nest of them have passed state
inspection, he said
He pointed out also that quarters
for 200 more families of TIE shed
and field workmen will be avail
able in El Centre soon. The war
food administration obtained the
housing units in Texas and they
are being moved to El Centro. They
will be set up north CT Main street

Not many weeks ago, the American people were being warned that the AL lied troops would have to suffer extre- mely heavy losses in order to storm Adolf Hitler's ramparts.
 A bouquet should go, therefore, to Lieut. Gen Omar N Bradley, command CT of U. s. Ground Forces in Britain, who on April 2, nearly two months be- fore the invasion, told American infan- try officers in England that "this stuff about tremendous losses is tommy-rot." :"
 Now that the beachhead has been well secured, the facts prove that the general was correct.
 General Bradley called the turn ac- curately, saying Allied soldiers would go 'in there punching, backed by mass ed naval fire and air power" He told the fighting men that they would have air protection day and night and naval gunfire that will surprise you."-Fair- banks News-Miner.)
