State OF Nevada. gained for himself

GOADS MURPHY TO REPLY
In Statement to OdeH He Says pdn
Wuck and COler We're Elected.

Charles F Murphy yesterday, in referring TO Gov
ernor Odelrs reference suspicious registration in
the XVIIIth District. where Mr.. Murphy is the
boss, said:
want To say TO Mr.. Odell that If there are those
who propose violating the law IN the HVllIth or In
any other district OF the city. will gladly aid aim
in securing the conviction Of such persons. But l
do not propose TO allow Mr.. Odel or any other
person 10 come into my district any other dis
trict and pursue any honest voter with his lntol-
Grant methods of intimidation.
Speaking of fraudulent methods or election ana
the exercise Of the franchise. is the opinion OF
many Democrats, including myself, who nave given
careful consideration 10 the subject, that Van
Wyck was elected Governor in 1895 and that Golfer
was elected Governor 1902 and that the elections
were stolen them. When Investigations were
started in those years by Democrats IL was found
that In upstate Republican counties the ballots
ha0 been burned-theTe bondres OF ballots.
This shows how Odells gang believes in destroy
ing evidence which might weigh against their in
terests and bring about unpleasant revelations.
But will guarantee that there will be no steal
ing of elections this year. There will be no bon
fires of ballots Democrats will 20 il that every
ballot properly cast will be honestly counted and
sealed in the ballot box. and will see II that
the ballot box is protected faithfully.
We want votes to be that honest
votes. We will defend the honesty of the ballot
even against the outrageous assault being
nade upon IT by Odellisn, aided by Superintendent
MoFgc n. and the worst scheme OF intimidation ever
attempted in this city by desperate men, who hold
the ballot In this and other sections OF the State as
something 10 be jugged with, and who work upon
those who exercise their franchise honestly az peo-
pie to be laughed at and ridiculed.

In the face of great national questions which

that personalities have been dragged into the
obvious attempt to divert public attention from
the great questions with respect to which De-
mocracy stands diecredited before the American
people. 1t is to be regretted that the honorable
candidate for the Presidency on the Democratic
ticket makes the suggestion that the President
and the chairman of the Republican National
Committee have prostituted their positions to
aid in the collection of campaign funds. II is in.
credible that a candidate for the high office OF

does himsef injustice, and he affronts the in

that Democratic policies are paralyZing and that
Democratic administration Is destructive to our
national developments. Personalities have
place in the discussion of these great questions
fraught with mighty consequences to the Ameri-

volving the destiny Of the Republic, out OF the
swamps of personality and personal detraction.
and put it the high level where questions in
volving the destiny of the Republic should be

At Lafayette tonight the Senator said:
We have been engaged in important cam
paigns in the past, but have never been engaged
in one more important, perhaps. than the pres
ent. The Democratic party in all its past has
stood opposed 10 the great doctrines of the Re
publican party. There has been great ques-
lion for which the Republican party has stood
that the Democratic party has not opposed.
There has been no great achievement In our last
fifty years of history (and a great and splendid
history we have written in that brief time) that
has not been opposed violently and earnestly by
the Democratic party. Is IT a wiser political
leader to-day than il has been during the fifty
wears that lie back of us? If so, how do YOU
know It? What evidence is there of that fact Z?
We should not intrust the control OF the affairs
Of the government to the hands of the Demo-
cratic party simply because the Democratic
party wants control.
