The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1904-10-11

While the political campaign thus far
has been unusually quiet and tame for
presidential year throughout the coun-
try, the meeting at Armory hall last
night attested the fact that there is no
| lack of the old-time vim and enthusiasm
of the Republicans of Humboldt county.
| The changed conditions brought about
by the splendid record of Roosevelt's adj
ministration and the 'crucIfixion Of sill
yer upon the cross of gold" by the DEM
ocratic nominee for the presidency, was
made apparent by the large audience
| which assembled to listen to the expound-
| ing of Republican doctrine. 1t will be
| emembered that four years ago. when
eminent Republican speakers were an
| ounced to address the people of Winnie
| lucca they were greeted with empty
oenoh hes and had for their auditors but a
| handful of those who haa refused to bow
the knee to Democracy's then idol-Wil-
| liam Jennings Bryan.
voters of Winnemucca ana vicinity were
out en- masse. and the reception accordei
/ The speakers, together with the applau So
elici ed as the orators tore the mask
| from the hypocritical reorganized
! Democrats platform, indicated that the
| people of Nevada have awakened from
| their nightmare and that on the Sth VI
November this state will cast safe and
sane ballot for Roosevelt and Fair
| banks.
| The festivities of the evening opened
| With bonfires and music by Hills Cornet
band. After the band had played a pun
ber of highly enjoyable selections OIL the
street 1t marched to the hall. followed
| by a large number of people. intent on
| getting good seats.
| At $780, after the hall had been well
| alled. Chairman Lee called the meeting
| to order and invited the honorary presi-
dents to take seats on the stage, and at
! the same time appointed a committee to
escort the speakers to the platform.
| Mr. Lee stated that owing to business
| engagements Mr. Yerington was unable
| TO be present, but that he would proba-
bly, address the people of Winnemucca
| at some future date before the close OF
| the campaign.
The Hon. George s. Nixon was the first
speaker of the evening and was intro
duced as the next senator from Nevada.
An enthusiastic round Of applause greet
ed Mr. Nixon, and that the speaker ap-
preciated the kindly feelings of his
townsmen and neighbors was clearly
evinced by his manner. Mr.. Nixon spoke
briefly, yielding the greater norton OF
the evening to Mr.. Norcross and Mr..
Massey. He will be heard at least once
more in his home town before the close
of the campaign, on the evening of Mo-
vember Z. at which time he promises to
discuss at greater length the issues con-
fronting the people. 1t is unnecessary TO
say that Mr.. Nixon will be cordially
greeted at any time he chooses to address
the people of Winnemucca.
Mr.. Nixon stated that II had been said
that Governor Sparks does not care for
the office for which he Is running. With
Mr.. Nixon 1t Is different. He wants the
Office or he would not be asking the SUI
frage OF the voters. and he asked that
all his friends use every honorable means
to assist him to secure the honor.
Beginning tonight Mr.. Nixon will make
canvass of the state. speaking In Par
adise on the 5th Of November and closing
