OPENS in
WINNEMUCCA
Rousing Republican Meeting Addressed by
Prominent Speakers-=Enthusiasm
and Good Feeling Prevail

Last night was Republican night in Winnemueca. The
Opening guns of the state campaign doomed forth strong
Republican logic and when the last speaker had closed his
address amid storm of applause not vestge of Democ-
racy was left.
The strong battery of speakers consisted of Hon. Geo.
S. Nixon, candidate for United States senator: Hon. F. H.
Nocross candidate for justice of the supreme court and
Judge W. A. Massey.
The hall was filled with intelligent thinking people,
who assembled to hear the Republican sde and when the
meeting they departed for their homes satisfied
enthusiastic and enlightened
The speakers in fine fettle They dealt in hard
solid facts. Their arguments driven home by quota
tions and statistics that could not be conroverted
Judge Massey handled the Democratic platform with
out gloves and when he had finished there remained not
splinter large enough to pick the teeth of sucking dove
F. H. Norcross paid glowing tribute to James A. Yer
ngton for his splendid work in behalf of the Nevada
hbit at ST. LOUIS and stated that Mr. Yerngton is entitled
to the best that the people of this state give.hm.
Hon. O. S. Nixon also spoke very highly of Mr.. Yer

Fair commissioner and as business man.
The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1904-10-11

in Winnemucca on the evening of the
7th.
The Hon. f. II. Norcross, candidate for
Justice of the supreme court, was the
next speaker introduced. Mr.. Norcross is
young man of pleasing address and
convincing manner. The speaker paid
Winnemucca a high tribute as the place
where he had been nominated for the
highest judicial honor In the gift of the
people of Nevada.
! Mr.. Norcross spoke glowingly of James
A. Yerington He said that Mr.. Yering-
ton deserved the greatest credit for the
manner in which he had worked for the
interests of the state at the St. Louis
exposition, having already succeeded in
capturing nine or ten gold medals for
Nevada exhibits.
Mr. Norcross said that four years ago
he visited Winnemucca on a speaking
| tour and the party was greeted by the
most magnificent assemblage of empty
seats he ever saw. Things are different
now. ana he was reminded by the spien-
aid audience last evening that many vot-
ers were returning to the Republican
fold. The speaker stated tnat in 1906 5000
Nevada Republicans voted with the DEM
oerals on account of dissatisfaction with
,he Republican platform. Now that the
Democrats have every reason to be als-
| satisfied with their platform and presi-
Dental candidate they should recipro-
cate.
The gentleman eulogized President
Roosevelt and gave him credit for the
great irrigation movement in the arid
west. Irrigation means more people,
more school houses, more prosperity and
the people of Nevada will say to him on
the Sth of November, Wen DONE and
will send to congress two of her favorite
sons to support and aid him in all he
undertakes.
Judge w. A. Massey, the last speaker
of the evening, went to greater length in
discussing the issues of the day than
either of the gentlemen who preceded
him. The greater part of his ADDRESS
was devoted to a discussion OF the I'em-
ocratic platform. This he did in clear,
logical and concise manner that carried
conviction to the hearts of his listeners
He showed how. with the single excep-
ton of the tariff, the Democratic party
had reversed itself on every Issue brought
before the people during its entire his
tory; and how that single exception,
when the Democratic party succeeded in
passing the Wilson tariff revision act the
whole country had been thrown into
state of panic. The judge showed how
the Democratic platform was silent on all
the vital matters Of the day; how 1t prom
ises things already assured by the IA
tional and state constitutions. Section by
section the platform was discussed and
when the judge was through the national
Democratic platform was nothing but
heap of debris
Judge Massey's speech was lengthy,
but deeply interesting. Every time he
opened his mouth he said something.
Every time he made statement he
clinched 1t home and at the close he was
accorded an ovation such as 1t is the
privilege of few speakers to receive.
We regret that we cannot publish the
speech in full. for as a campaign docu-
ment II should be sent broadcast. that
all might read. ponder and cast their
ballots for the party of progression and
prosperity.

tured by Cars Army

Moukden, Oct. 9.--The Russian forward
movement has begun, and Bentsiaputze
has been captured with small loss.
In order to gain a clear understanding
of the situation. 1t may be stated that
two days ago the japanese divisions con-
fronted the Russians north of the Taitse
river Their left flank, consisting Of
two divisions. was on the railway at
Sandiapu, thirty miles southwest of
Moukden and close to the Hun river.
Their center. comprised of four divisions.
occupied the railway between Lao Yang
and Chandiaputze. twelve miles north.
Two more divisions occupied the extreme
Japanese right along the road between
Bentsiaputze and Bensihu. Their front
extended about fifty-two miles.
The position at Bentsiaputze was
strongly fortified and intended to with
stand attack. 1t Is reported that Gen srA.
KuroM was there In person The JAP
anese had omitted to fortify one nil.
Russians. aware of this omission. made
a wide detour eastward and seized the
hill with little opposition. The hill once
occupied. exposed the whole japanese
position to a heavy fianking fire. The
Russians also turned the japanese right
and the fortified positions thus becoming
untenable. the japanese were forced to
withdraw hurriedly from Bentsiaputze.

they suffered heavily. The Russian
losses throughout were small. although
severe opposition had been expected.

been harassing the Japanese outposts .or
several days and were entirely success

BLOW TO MONEY LENDERS.
Judge Lumpkin Hands Down an I'm
portant Opinion.

portant Opinion.
Atlanta, Jan. 21-Judge J. H. Lump
kin, of the superior court, has hand
in legal circles as stiff blow to the
money lenders, on whom the Fulton
county grand jury has ben waging
crusade for several months past.
The opinion is based on case ap-
pealed from an Atlanta justice court,
and in it Judge Lumpkin holds that a
u oorer has no legal-right to waive his
exemption from the garnishment laws
of the state of Georgia. The state
law provides that all day laborers shall
be exempt from garnishment, and un-
der a decision of Judge Lumpkin, no
laborer has the authority to sign an
agreement waving this exemption in
favor of a money lender or any one
else
The effect of the decision, lawyers
declare, will be far-reaching. 1t
means the taking from money lend
ers the power of subjecting tn ewages
Of laborer to garnishment. 1t is
understood that the practice is in vo-
que in Atlanta of having laborers who
borrow money to sign an agreement
assigning their salary to the money
lender, and also waving their exemp-
tion from garnishment, and the opinion
OF. Judge Lumpkin is a direct knock
out blow to this method of procedure.

When Engineer Hispler, who was

was almost instantaneous.
Flying pieces of metal broke steam

and General Opinion on the Situa
tion-Even Lord Landsdowne, Here.
tofore Pessmstic, Takes Hopeful
View
London, Jan. 21-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon voices official
and general opinion on the Far East
ern crisis, saying:
I'VE believe the chances of peace
are at this moment more favorable
than they have been for some weeks
past The Associated Press learns
that even Lord Lansdowne who has
been consistently pessimistic, today
took hopeful view of the situation
and expressed the belief that war
would be a\erted. His opinion is
based on the condition outlined in
these dispatches yesterday, namely,
that Russia is willing to concede
practically all Japan's demands, but
she cannot see her way clear to make
a treaty with Japan recognizing in
OASeNh oAAO "AAlkO uaPoll SONSISlSuLJ
over Manchuria. Dismissing this,
however, Baron Hayashi, the Japan
ese minister to Great Britain, main
tains a pessimistic view. He says
Japan would rather fight than forego
an actual treaty right with Russia or
China's sovereignty over Manchuria.
The diplomats here, although differ,
ing In views as to the outcome, all
agree that dispute is not likely to be
settled without another depressing pc
riod which is expected to occur when
the war party in Japan raises its in
evitable objections after the receipt
OF the pending Russian reply against
any settlement except recourse to
arms"
