Issues Of the Day

hall last night was fairly attended. IL
was called TO order by Hon. S. J. Bonni-
field, Jr., who introduced as the hrst
speaker Mr.. Cook. an attorney OF Keno
who promised to explain the defeat OF
the fellow servant bill in the legisia ure
of 1903 He said that the Democratic
party of this state was In favor OF tha'
measure that 1t was for the be1eht OF
tn working men of this state that there |
was Democratic Legislature ara
Democratic governor who stood ready to
pass and sign the bill, but that Mr.
Nixon. who was not member OF either
branch of the state government, wouio
not let them pass 1t; tnat Mr.. Nixon
acted as though he did not want 1t, and
for that reason 1t did not pass.
Mr.. w. C. Pitt of Lovelock. who yo ed
against the bill in the legislature was
present and on the platform, but the
speaker thought that that should be
overlooked because Pitt. II re ected
senator from this county. would vote for
Sparks for United States senator.
Mr.. Cook admoni he'd the aud ence that
II was barely possible that VIM Nj
Steward might be a candidate for United
States senator. although both he and Mr.
Nixon denied such a possibility. and for
that reason the Ieop.e shou vote loi
Mr.. Pitt and the Democratic leg Slave
ticket, notwithstanding the fact that
Nixon might again prevent them from
voting for a fellow servant bal in the
legislature.
The speaker brought tears to the eyes
OF his aud ence over the Philippine war
and stated that the immense sum Of
money that had been expended m sa'
have been used in irrigatirg the Hum
boldt valley. lie did not suggest any rem
edy for this great wrong, nor ten Ms
hearers whether The government nat
used all its money In that way. but IN
impression was left that it had, for II
there was anything left the spe XII
would yioub less have promised that the
Democratic party would use 1t in irr ga
ton IL Mr.. Nixon would let them DO H.
He denounced the trusts roundly. but
failed to suggest any remedy for them
except the abrogation of the tarn TT
sheepmen, cattle growers and WORKING
men know what blow that would be to
them.
Mr.. Cook did not tell the people that
Governor Sparks had promised to Vet'
the fellow servant bin had Nixon al o"e'
them to pass 1t. and that the goVef"o'
rode over the lines of the Southern ia
cifc with the br.be of that company l.
his rocket to-wi,--an annual pass. III
effort 20 delude an intelligent aud-ehN'
was ludicrous in the ext eme. everyone
asked the question why the Democfan'
marty did not pass the fellow servant pi
If they were in favor of it, and some = us
eested that II Mr.. Nixon was powe ~
enough to control a Democratic stat
legislature that he would be abe To
wonders for Nevada as a member OF
Republican Unleo States senate
The next speaker was Mr.. John on. a
attorney of Tuscarora, who, ike va
Duzer. tries to hypnotze his hearers b
extravagant misstatements that do notf
ing but create dissatisfaction, piejud C
and hatred.
He drew a word picture of the terrib
Colorado strike and by inference tried I
b'ame the Republican party for 1t. an
by misstatement tried to make his heal
ers believe that President Roosevelt ha
interfered in 1t. when it IS a fact that
refused the request of the mine owners
send troops there for that purpose
Mr. johnson did not tell the neop
how the Democratic party. through Pre-
ident Grover Cleveland. did send trool
to Chicago to shoot down the Palma
strikers. The s. eaker glowirgly old Il
