SCOTT MAKES STATEMENT.
viii Have an Understanding With
the Standard Oil Co.
CERTAIN OF WEST VIRGINIA
Reported That Henry G. DAVIS Has Given
Big Sum To Democrats Something
About elkins and McGrsw.


a special from New York to the
Pittsburq Dispatch says
= Senator Nathan b. Scott. besi8es
telling Thursday that he will iuvssti-
cate the politics OF the Standard Oil
Co., also cleared away some interest
ing West Virginia political mysteries,
and gave his colleague. Senator
Elkins, clean bill of health He
discussed his own senatorial fight. ard
traced John T. McGraw's fine demo-
cratic hand in the story that Teter.
the defeated republican candidate for
governor, would aspire for the sena-
torship.
The Standard Oil interests will be
asked where they are politically.
Rumors that the Rockefeller crowd
will suspend operations and remove
employees from doubtful to republican
states until after November are still
persistently circulated here. In Get
tain quarters of West Virginia there
is some evidence that such political
trick will be PLAYED, and Senator
Nathan B. Scott says he will know
positively what there is in the story.
Il will have conference with
Standard Oil officials to ascertain ex-
actly what their plans are in this
campaign" he said:
Do you believe the story that the
STANDARD men are to be sent out of
West Virginia until after the cleo
tion?''
II have heard that, and I want to
know exactly how much truth there is
in it. That is why intend to have
the talk with the Standard people. 1t
would effect our campaign if the re.
publican employees of the Standard
were sent to other states at this time.
However, believe the Standard is
with us. At any rate, am convinced
that they will do nothing purposely to
interfere with the republican cam
paign.''
DAVIS GIVES HUGE SUM.
| was informed positively that
Henry G. Davis and his brother, Tom,
contributed 1926, 600 to the democratic
state committee of West Virginia. The
checks are now in the hands of Chair.
man John t. McGraw. Senator Scott
was asked if the campaign fund of
his party would equal those figures.
"With SJ25, 900, he said. I'VE could
build up an organization in West Vir-
ginia as invincible as the republican
machine in Pennsylvania. We have
not raised large fund as vet and
we do not need more money. But
have every reason for believing that
we will be able to match the demo-
Gratis with money, men and methods
We do not need so much money as our
democratic brethren. however,
Senator Scott was informed that
Chairman MoGraw, in aspiring to the
United States senate. is making a
special play for the election of friendly
legislators throughout the state; also
of the fact that Teter, the defeated
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for governor. expected to sue
coed Senator Scott.
What are your plans to Offset this

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
NIXON GIVES REASONS.

A short time ago, when George S.
Nixon announced his purpose to vote
and support the Republican ticket at
the coming fall election, the Reno
Journal called on him for his reasons
for leaving the Silver party, with
which he had affiliated for years. In
reply Mr.. Nixon indited a long letter
to the Journal, setting forth good
and sufficient causes for his change
Of heart, but as the letter did not
make good Democratic bombast, the
Journal failed to publish it. How
ever, the Gazette, being informed of
the oversight of its contemporary,
got possession OF a copy OF the letter
ard printed 1t in full. In it Mr.. Nixon
makes a detailed statement of his
connection with the Silver party, and
when, with many others, he concluded
that the party had outlived it's USE
fitness, and was only being kept
alive to advance the ambitions of a
few individuals, he quit it.
In explanation of his attitude in
going back into the Republican party,
Mr.. Nixon with all sincerity states:
LAS saw the light in 1892, out of
loyalty to my state, in the interest
of the silver cause, l left the Repub-
lican party, and, as l see the light
now, out of loyalty to my state-be-
lieving it is the only logical, sensible
curse to pursue, l return to that
party, as l will not allow myself to
be placed in a position antagonistic
to the endorsement of President
Roosevelt by the people of this state.
believe the storage of the waters
Of Nevada will bring as many bene-
fetal results, locally, and possibly
more permanent ones in the next
twenty years than if we had won the
silver fight in 1896, and not secured
favorable national irrigation legisla-
ton in 1902. Some other president
might have been as considerable OF
our interests as Roosevelt is, but the
fact remains that he has been tried
and not found wanting on that ques-
ton, and l believe in giving credit to
whom credit is due, be it Republican
president, Democratic senator or
private citizen"
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1904-04-02
THE REASON WHY.

A large number of the citizens of
Lander county recently organized a
Republican club, whereat the Reno
Journal raves, contending that il any
set OF people in the state should be
true to free silver and Democracy it
should be the people of that county,
and states as a reason that no county
in the state was hit harder by the
characterization of silver than Lander.
The fact of the matter is that there
is but little in common between the
people of Lander county and silver.
Work ceased on the Lander county
mines long years ago; long before
silver reached its present low price.
1t was not because the ore bodies be-
came exhausted, but because the
ingress of water made them too ex-
pensive to work. And this same
reason applies to numerous other
districts in the state. Lander county
is a county of varied resources, most
of which come under the b~enificence
Of protection, and that is the reason
why a majority of the people OF the
county have declared In favor OF Re-
publican rule.
