eringly.
To these people of Humboldt county
The Silver State turns for the assistan G
that is necessary in this fight. which. in
rellity, is the fight of the people.
To you who want a clean administra-
ton and who are interested in the ad-
vancement of the county, we turn for
the support that is necessary in this
fight.
You know who the knockers are; there
is no need of telling you who are the
boycotters. for that is ~self-evident. We
leave them. one and all. to you.
1t is hardly necessary to appeal to the
imagination to picture the necessity for
victory on the part of the boycoters
victorious in a prolonged battle. They
dare not await a verdict of the people
at the polls. if the present management
of The Silver State is in existence.

this stage. they figure that the exposures
made by this paper will have been for
gotten by the time of the coming cleo
ton. Moreover. they are nursing the
fond dream that they will then have
command of the only organ in Winnie
mucca.
When some phases of this affair pre-
sent themselves to the writer it is hard
to refrain from treating the matter as
the display of a woeful lack of a sense
of humor on the part of the boycotters.
Some of their pipes are ludicrous.
albeit their methods are coward.y.
However. it must not be understood
that the present fight is a political scrim-
mage. 1t is far from that. The Silver
State is fighting for the INTERESTS or
THE PEOPLE. IRRESPECTIVE or
POLITICS. Party adherence win make
no county official immune to exposure
in these columns If he be guilty of be-
traying the interest of the taxpayers.
No man who has not just claim to a pub
lie trust will be supported by this paper
for any public office. ~
That has, of course. been clear TO the
people of winnemucca and Humboldt
county since the present management
took hold Of The Silver state. but it is
reneated lest some there BE- who did not
understand it in that way.

When The Silver State announced it's
intention of purging is columns of the
filthy catch-penny advertisements of
quacks and char'atans it did so be-
cause the management knew that a
paner published in the interests of the
people should guard the peoples inter-
esfs in every way. Here again the boy
~cotters found an opportunity for action.
They set up the cry that this action was
aimed Mt a certain bushes interest. AND
SOME THERE WERE FOOLISH
ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS TO BE
so.
The action of The Silver state was
taken at the cost of a couple of thou
sand dollars a year income.
IsIT NOT PERFECTLY PLAIN THAT
THE ACTION VAS TAKEN BECAUSE
1T WAS FOR BEST INTERESTS
OF THE PEOPLE AT LARGE?

No matter what rabid extremes may be
taken by the boycotters. The Silver State
will continue It's policy of fighting de-
Gently and in the open.
BUT FIGHT TT WILL. AND TO A.
FINISH.
This newspaper has no intention to at
tack individuals. to besmirch characters
or to throw foul mud; but it is perfectly
capable Of conducting an open and
manly battle for its own rights and for
the rights OF it's subscribers and adver-
Users, the people in whose interests IL Is
printed.
Let 1t be understood by the boycotters
that The Silver State is no longer on the
defensive in this matter. 1t will hence
forth conduct an aggressive campaign
FOR ITs w RIGHTS AND FOR
