MINING MAN TELLS OF
CONDITIONS IN THE EAST.
Taft's Election Looked Upon as Certain but Until
Accomplished Money Will be Held Tieht--fiOw
the East and Middle West Look Politically

Harry Darlington. of Kansas CITY,
we'll known in connection with min
ing interests In this district and at
Mizpah. gave an interview last even
ing in which he said that he did not
believe the point could be too strong
~ IMPRESSED that for the good of
Nevada nothing more important could
occur than clean cut. strong Re-
publican victory in the state In Mo-
yember.
AS western mining man, said
Mr. Darlington. Il am yitally inter-
ested In the election. 1t means
great deal TO us. particularly here In
Nevada, as | have learned through
coming In touch with the general
situation In the east and the middle
west during visits there In the last
several months. and from one OF
which | am just back. We have
developing country out here. and We
need world of money to carry on
our work This money we are obl1g~
ed to- go away from home for. The
most of its comes to us direct from
the east, and we cannot get along
without IT, In the east and the mid
die west confidence, ease of money
and readiness To invest go hand In
hand with Republicanism. They are
inseparable In the mind of the man
of means under conditions as they
now are In the country at large. Also
while the urgent demand Is for ma
iional Republican administration. the
eastern investor looks askanee upon
he state that is tied to the Democ-
racy. in which he does not believe
tere is the conservatism. the good
Judgment, the sturdiness of purpose
to do equal justice to all that Is
found under Republican control.
While there has been improve
ment In the country. | wish To say
that there is no money now coming
out for new enterprises. and has been
none released since the beginning of
the panic last fall. Funds are tied
np tight. except where release is
necessary to carry on going enter
prises or those which cannot be per-
mitted TO remain at "a standstill with
out great loss of income or oppor-
tnnities. This condition of affairs is
absolutely going to remain true un-
III after the election. II Taft is
elected. as there Is no doubt In my
mind he will he. there will he an inn
mediate release of funds and We viii
see times which will outdo past his
tory In large prosperity for every
body. Western mining enterprises.
and particularly those of Nevada in
the event she swings into the Repub-
liean column. will experience rush
of funds for the supplying of all their
needs such as never before known.
In consequence YOU will see the nn-

manner that will. through results at

there is moi the slightest possible
room for doubt. On the other hand,
should there he Democratic success
at the polls in November. YOU can
look for four years of doubt, which
means stagnation and pinehing times.
We cannot afford to take the chance
out here Life is too short and We
have too much to do.

of Hughes in favor of clean politics,
his insurance and public utilities rec

both parties who will stand by him

and Maryland will also be in the Re-

by the Democratic candidates for
nomination for governor have torn
the party wide open and would alone
be sufficient To lose them the election
in November. In Kansas, frequently

so per cent of the vote polled for
Roosevelt in 1904 was voted at the
primaries recently held for the selec-
Iion of candidates for U. s. senator
and governor. while the democrats In
their primaries polled less than 40
per cent of the vote cast In 1904 for
Parker. These figures leave no room
for question that Taft will readily
carry Kansas
