company is engaged in building a railroad
from it's property to its new cyanide mill

for a right of way over property owned
by the defendant corporations has forced
the issue. The Rex lode and the Gypsy
King mining claims are directly involved
by the actions. A fifty-fOot right of way
is wanted by the Consolidated company.

appointed for the purpose of adjudging
the contention that the ground is neces-
sary for the plaintiff in the construction
of the road and to ascertain the damage

FIGHT AGAINST RACE TRACK
GAMBLERS CONTINUED.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y. March Gov
ernor Hughes was the guest of the
Duchess County Republican club To-
night, and delivered an address, in
which he dwelt upon the duties of the
Republican party and the man chosen
10 office. The governors allusion 10
his fight against race track gambling
was received with hearty applause. He
said:
I'VE can not fail to recognize the
fact that at this time the Republican
party is the party of golden o9portu-
mites, the party TO which clearly is
instructed the safekeeping of our in
situations and the protection of Ill that
we hold most dear. We are opposed
by some who represent familiar and
long held Democratic doctrines and by
others who represent the fleeing fam
Giles of unquiet minds.
Matter of Conscience.
The Republican party to succeed
must represent the conscience of the
American people. It has represented
IN the past the American conscience.
1t was born as an expression of the
American conscience. Under Lincoln
1t spoke for the moral purposes of the
people. Under the influence of the in
domitable spirit of President ROOSe-
welt 1t still represents the conscience
OF the people and their desire for re
form and the correction of every known
abuse.
ut is no time to throw out catch
words to please an idle populace 1t is
no time to attempt to attract votes
by any measures which are ill-consid-
cred with reference to the Just de-
nQnnS of hnnnCf hrrc
Time for Confidence.
1t is a time for confidence i'm our
institution, for confidence in our fu-
ture, but because of that very conf
dence we must see to it that we de-
vote ourselves sedulously to every mat
ter which should engage our attention
as citizens so that no mistakes may
be made"
In speaking of the race track gam
bling, the governor said:
We have a number of matters of
great Importance under consideration
this year in the legislature We have
got one that goes right to the heart
of things, and that is the abolition of
this Ubiquitous race track gambling. l
