4 October It'll" said Judge Crump, Il
want to urge all to unite in assisting
in this action. | trust no one will
permit anything to interfere in CIV
/ ing the club assistance.
] I'VE all know something has been
said in regard to being conservative.
This letter from our good friend Mr..
Riepe urging us to he conservative
and give up the fight comes at a poor
time, think. There also have been
some interviews on the subject and
certain business men are reported as
having said that they would join the
club, providing the radical element
was in the minority.
Il may be denounced as radical,
but do you gentlemen consider it
radical for us to take this action
when the railroad company has re-
peatedly broken faith with the peo-
pie of this city? When this club
was young l joined it with the in
! tention of being an active member.

! My experience. my education, have
| taught me to he conservative in all
my actions. and not desiring notori
ETY. it has been embarrassing for me
TO take this position. | make these
statements, however. as a matter of
personal privilege.
Il don't quite know just what is
meant by these interviews in the pa
per about the radicals. If these gem
! tlemen who now say they do not care
to join because the club is too radi-
cal, had Joined when the club was
young conditions might have been
more to their liking.
Gentlemen, for many long months
this club has waited for this letter
| from President Eecles and finally it
mas come. If it be true that the rail-
road company does not intend to rec
ogniZe this city, tnen is it radicalism
| for us to take our stand as we have?
In other words, they have built the
road, they say, to take out the ore
| and incidentally pass through this
town. Having done this they have
made profits in one year of 81 ,00O,-
| 900. 1t seems according to the con-
servatives that we are in too much
haste and that the company has not
| had time to build depot. Yet
months ago this same company start
ed the construction of one of the
most elegant depots in the state of
| Nevada and today Ely City boasts of
that structure Even more, the name
of this town has been stolen and
placed on that depot.
