After the clnb hid been organized
Leroy A. Wrijrlit, of San Diego, chair
man of lh«« Republican County Central
Committee spoke in substance as fol
lows:
"I desire to assure you that the peo
ple of Sail Diego take more than a
political interest in Imperial Valley.
The welfare of this Valley and that of
the Bay City in material a.l well aa
civic affair- are inseparably linked to
gether. Hni\ Diego rejoice* at the news
of your smallest success and sympa
thizes with you in every reverse. The
|>eople living uhon the shores of San
Diego bay need the products of your
lalxir aud fertile fields to supply her
markets, and you in turn require San
Diego harbor through which the mar
kets of the world may be reached to
the enrichment of your people and the
upbuilding of San Diego.
Because our interests are common,
San Dievro dtsirea to co-oj^rate.^with
every movement which look* to the
material advancement of the Valley.
I observe that the Democratic organ
of Imperial *ays in its issue of this week
that Mr. Jasper, the nominee of the
Democratic convention for supervisor
fn»iii the Third district can render more
valuable service to this Valley than
Mr. Wilsie. the Republican nominee.
I wish to publicly contradict this state
ment without denying that Mr. Jasper
is a faithful and diligent servant of the
people. The population of the city of
San Diego and the entire bay region is
strongly Republican. If this Valley
w a in* |Hilitu*ul recognition, or desires
to be in a position to benefit from such
political influence an may bo exercised
in oflicial circles that assistance must
necessarily come largely through the
Republican party. You are properly
ambitious to form a new county* so
soon as lliM assessed valuation of your
rtal ami personal property will permit
you to asHUiuu your place among the
counties of the State without too heavy
a financial burden. Thin can never be
realized without favorable state legis
lation, and San Diego's republican
delegation will be pleased when that
time conies to assist you. The Demo
cratic party cannot assist you because it
is so lioj>elegaly in the minority that it
cannot expect to elect a single repre
sentative. By electing Mr. NVilsie who
is a moat worthy and representative
citizen of your Valley, as su|«ervisor
you will help the Republican party and
at the fame time help yourselves, It
will hind moit) closely thu political tie
