The laboring man will appreciate
the fact that Mr. Flanagan has had
small time to give to the study of
oratory in the 80 years in which he
has advanced himself from $50 a
month TO position as the foremost
citizen in Nevada commercial and in

man will also realize that his speech,

public. would receive the same sort
of criticism from the organ, should

Mr. Bartlett at best had hard row
to travel in Nevada this Republican
year The desertion of the gentle
man by Newlands, the governor and
the machine, in a desperate effort TO
save the bigger Office and the spoils
attached thereto. removes the last
possible chance for Bartlett. Colonel
Maxson has right to commence at
once his plan of campaign in con-
gress for the attainment of opening
of the mint at Carson, the acquire
ment of public lands for the state,
the obtaining of appropriations for
public buildings in its cities and for
other uses in Nevada. These, with
the assistance of Mr.. Flanagan in the
senate, he will get.

The flop of MGR. Newlands from
the Democratic platform on Friday
night was followed yesterday by de-
sertion of the governor. through the
organ. in a personally written edi-
torial. At Tonopah. both Sir Fran
els and the governor were out and
out in their endorsements of Con-
gresham Bartlett and his attitude
throughout on the sending of troops
to Goldfeld and in favor of the police
bill. The latter was voted for by the
governor The Tonopah platform
makes full and complete endorsement
of these measures. Swapping OF
horses in midstream is unquestion-
ably bad business. 1t spells desperate
distress, which is just what eonfronts
Newlands. He is trotting his last
heat in Nevada and on November 3
will go under the wire in the dust
made by Flanagan.

At Tonopah the state police bill
was good, the sending of troops into
Goldfeld was good and Bartlett was
good In Ely. little more than a
month later, none Of these things are
good in the eyes of the men who
made them good at Tonopah. Can
any voter give credenee to the sin
cerity of such men, or look to them
with expectation that they will do
any given thing they may promise
to do at any given time? But of such
is Organism, today here. tomorrow
there and next day nowhere.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Raymond the Washington core
spondent Of the Chicago Tribune. whe
is regarded as one of tie most reliable
political writer's in the country. regards
tie result of the Vermont election as
presaging absolute victory for Mr.. Taft
In recent special dispatch to the
Tribune Raymond said:
"Practically speaking. the result Of

year.
There is OF course. a slight falling
of in the vote of both Republicans and
Democrats. as compared with -four
years ago, but this WAS entirely TO be
expected. because at that time Roose-
velt was the nominee of his party for
president. and the result in Vermont IN
that year was merely forerunner Of
tie tremendous landslide which took
place AZ over the country.
As II is. the plurality Of over 29.o0

In the November election, whatever
strength the Independence League de

from Taft

In number. are extremely rockribbed in
their sentiments. They make a point OF
going 10 the polls year after year and
carry on a hopeless fight merely be
cause they want 10 set a good example
1896 they repudiated Bryan and the free
silver heresy and they did 1t largely
by staying at home on election day
The result was a plurality OF 4 little
over 10000 for Mckinley. which has
been n record in Vermont elections. In
the State elections OF 1900 and 1904
the Democratic vote was practically
stationary"

Whether the flowers of rhetoric
or the exact dictates of grammar
find place in the speeches of Mr.. Elan
igan. matters little. Above these
points is the fact that in 80 years
in Nevada he has had the ability 10
express himself in manner that has
enabled him 10 make wealth for him
self, for his state and its people. He
has given the latter new employment,
aid and encouragement, while his be-
ribboned. be-laeed critics of the pres

rather than from their own efforts.

that protection WAS driving the coun-
