The Lyon County Ij'"as scores the follow
ing good point for our candidate for Congress,
R. N. Daggett:
1t is claimed by Fart of the Democratic
press OF this State, that the Onion printers
will not vote for Il. NJ Daggett for Congress,
We believe this to be SANDER, as, were it
not, it would prove the Union printers to be
as ungrateful a pack of hounds as ever dis
graced any craft. About five years ago the
Enterprise office (Which was then owned by
Joe Goodman1 was ''ratted, that Is, the
Union printers were turned out to make way
for non Union men or rats. A few months
thereafter the office passed ont of Goodman's
hands and Daggett was given charge of the
establishment. One of his first acts on taking
charge. was to telegraph to John Church, the
present foreman of the Enterprise, to tender
him the position which he still holds. Mr..
Church came up, when the rats were at
once compelled to give way to Union men,
This result was due solely to r. NJ. Daggett,
and it saved the Washoe Typographical Union
(tho only one on the coast worthy of the
nancy from total destruc,i IN, 1t would there
fore he the. highth Of ingratitude Tor the print
ers Of Nevada to refuse 10 vote fog Il. NJ.
Daggett.
The writer can voucl for the truth OF the
above as he was one of tn~ Uuion mon driven
from the Enterprise office by the rats.
