The number of our paid circulation will be furnished on application Entered as second-class matter March 3d, 1906 at the postofficeat El Centro. California, toder the Act of Conpress of March 3, 1879. Imperial has got the buttons and El Centro has the votes. Inasmuch as "yours truly Clark H. Bradshaw, Sec'v." writes garbled figures and Howe prints them, it was not unnatural to suppose that the worthless check was part of the campaign scheme. Anyway we simply asked, How(e) about it? The Imperial push and the slandard made the assertion that El Centro made promises which were broken at the convention. Will .they please tell what prom ises were made, who were the promises made to and when. We are anxious to know. Unless they tell us we will have to con clude that these statements of theirs are lies, like the rest of the statements they are making. Come forth, push, and speak; don't just merely make general statements. Be more specific. COUNTY S EAT COMMENTS So many sections are represent ed on the ticket named at the nominating convention that it will be pretty hard for Imperial to wean away any votes for can , didates of its own — and the pro gramme is said to be so well fixed for El Centro as the county seat that it hardly can fail to carry. — Los Angeles Times. Imperial seems to be hopelessly behind in the race for the county seat, unless some break appears in the serried ranks of her rivals. — San Diego Union. Clark H. Bradsbaw is out in a lengthy article trying to over come the worthless check inci dent. It's a fine thing for him to accuse anyone else of things he cannot prove, but when he himself is brought face to face with the facts it hurts. Like one Imperial man said: ''It's the truth that hurts in this cam paign against Imperial." As for Mr. Bradshaw, he knew he was doing wrong when he lent himself to do the work for the Imperial campaign committee and that he should get come up with is not to be wondered at. ONCE AGAIN Would it not be -a mistortune and loss to every farmer in this great and ferile valley to locate the county seat on soil that can not produce trees, shrubs, fruits and vegetables such as are now growing at Brawley, Calexico. Holtville and El Centro? Ac cept the evidence of your own observation as to soil and condi tions in preference to statements published in newspapers and in preference to what the other fel low tells you. It's really funny to bear Howe explode when things don't go just as the push has it programed There's yet some room left in the El Centro Band Wagon. Climb in brother and you'll lead the procession. One Imperial merchant has al ready begun to unload his stock of goods. He advertises that he is going to move. His destina tion, however, has not as yet been made public. Why i 9it that everything which is not done by the consent of the Imperial push is all wrong according to the Standard. Is it to be supposed that the people themselves have no rights? Don't forget that W. S. Cor win and Stone Bros, are both shipping grapes from El Centro in caiload lots. Our union de pot is not as convenient as it might be but our packing sheds are O. K. Send your laundry to El Cen tro. The steam laundry will be in operation before work is com menced on some of the build ings that Imperial is to have, if Howe is to be depended on for once in his editorial existence. Rev. Wentworth can't expect to be chairman of every meeting-. The convention at Imperial was representative of the whole val ley. That'll be all right Mr. Wentworth, wait until Imperial packs somebody's meeting and thea you can be chairman. Imperial's duplicity is becom ing more apparent every day. Just before the primaries of last Saturday as high as twenty ri£s went out from Imperial in all di lections. The game was to try and influeuce everything in favor of Imperial. The Imperial push believed the people would not take much interest in the selec tion of delegates to the conven tion and imagined that by some political trickery they would be able to have such delegates as were favorable to .Imperial's cause elected to the convention. In every town they had their "slate"' prepared, but it failed to go through. The push at Imper ial has always tried to carry things witb such a high hand, that the entire valley has come to look upon any more they make with suspicion. |To Homeseekers f I and Investors | # Wishing Imperial J f Valley Lands f % Do you want a square deal? % tit 'pays us to give our customers the benefit jr _ of the OWNER'S LOWEST PRICE 5 & It pays prospectors and investors to buy c 0 through us 0 2 We have lands in any size tract from 40 to 640 acres.

According to the story Imperial had this certain man slated to be chairman of the con vention and he was so sure of being chairman that he had pre pared a very appropriate speech for the occasion, the notes of which he lost on the floor of the hall. From the notes it appears he was going to turn loose a cer tain brand of eloquence which the Standard said atone time he could uncork when he chose. Too bad that all that prepara tory effort was lost, and if the delegates knew just what they missed they would certainly be sorry for what they did. If "Yours truly, Clark H. ! Bradshaw, Secy.' 1 would pay a little more attention to his per sonal finances and get out and make a little money to pay his honest debts with instead of is suing checks which are returned by his home bank as n. gl.,g 1 ., read ers of his juggled figures might put a little more weight in what he says. A secretary of an exe cutive committee of a town that wants to be county seat whose credit at his home bank is not worth twice six bits, will cut only a small chunk of ice in influenc ing votes for the town in which he lives and for which he is work ing. And how about the com mittee which keeps him in the place he occupies? If their campaign 'tund for cor ruption purposes is not yet ex hausted the Imperial committee might spare a dollar and a halt or so to take up their secretary's worthless check.
