The Democrats won Nevada by
superior generalship. They made
a majority out of minority by
knowing who were safe traitors
from the start, something the Re-
publican generals did not realize
until the State was lost.

on Assemblyman gave tie vote
as result between Hurley, Re-
publican, and Raycraft, Democrat.
The Commissioner have called a
special election for Tuesday, No

headlines saying. what Senator
Nixon Thinks of President Roose-

Wouldn't it be the proper thing to

OYLE was very angry. It was
situation which demanded
earnest words, and they were
forthcoming. Elsie understood
them to mean that she need not be
in such a purple hurry to disappear
into the darkness without the least ex-
planation. Thereupon she bade Suarez
back the canoe a little.
81 am sorry it is necessary to steal
away in this fashion," she said, and
the GOODNESS Of her tone was highly
exasperating to a man who could no
more detain her than he could move
the Kansas unaided. II have a plan
which requires only bit of good for
tune to render it practicable. l have
two assistants-Suarez, whose aid
am compelling, and Joey, who is quite
eager. There is no use in risking any
more lives. If do not return you may
be sure the worst has happened"

Boyle. 1T may be just sheer nom
sense. Tell me what it Is, an swear
by the nautical almanac I shall not
prevent you from carryin' 1t out if it
has any reason behind it."
IT am going to collect all the Indian
canoes" was the amazing answer. II
know it can be done from what Suarez
has said. Once we have the canoes in
midchannel we can set most of them
adrift and bring Captain Courtenay
and the others back to the ship in four

Walker could possibly manage to fire
