NEW DEAL COMING

CHAIRMAN DlEKEMA AND sEcRE-
TARY AWARD TO STEP OUT,
WHICH LEAVES VACANCIES FOR
{. AMBITIOUS FLEpolNes.

Republicans who deal In state pol.
tics are beginning to wonder what
will be the new deal after the next
state convention when a state chair
man and secretary are to be chosen.
Gerret ]. Diekema has been chair
man, and Dennis Award secretary 30
long that they have become almost
as much a part Of the equipment OF
the party as the Lincoln head on the
ballot. But the story is going out
that neither will be at campaign head
quarters this year. Diekema Is a con-
gresham now, and Award wants to
be one, with excellent prospects.
There may be a genuine new deal.
II is pointed out that neither OF the
old officers can possibly gain anything
by taking their thankless places long
er, especially In campaign where
funds will be particularly hard to
raise The men who financed former
Republicans campaigns are mostly
dead. Headquarters has always been
maintained In Detroit, not because 1t
is the largest city OF the state, but
because IL was handy TO the money

hard 20 scrape together enough money

an opportunity for some new aspirant
for political honors to win his spurs.'
said Republican who has been more
or less active In state politics for
years. 1T was through his record as
state chairman that James Mcmillan
came to the front and made himself
a logical candidate for senator.
Let some OF the men who desire
preferment from the party step In now
and show their willingness to give SER
vice first. IL Wayne county is to have
a candidate for senator a few years
hence, let him give some of his time

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
ASSESSING THE sHEEPMEN.

Flanagan. as Republican national committeeman, sent out a circular
letter tt the wool growers of Nevada to contribute to the Repuohcan
campaign fund.
Why should they?
what would be more dangerous to a Nevada sheepman than another
Democratic administration?
In 1897. when the Wilson (Democraic) tariff went in force, super
ceding the Mckinley tariff act. according to United States government
statistics, there were 47273,55S sheep in the United States worth $266
per head, or $125,SO9,264.
After four years of Democratic rule what was left OF the sheep bust
ness is represented by the following government statistics: t1S96) Num-
ber Of sheep, sc, SIS, 643; value per head, $1S2, total value s66,02O's42.
A loss in four years of Democratic rule of Al per cent OF the value OF a
sheepmans hocks.
The first year of the Mckinley administration the value Of the Amer
lean sheepmen,s Hocks increased 81 per cent, and in 1900, after four
ears of Republican rule. there were 6S,121,Ss1 sheep in this country
valued at $3.50 per head, and worth $246,175,SS5.
In four years of Repubicanism following a Democratic adminstra-
ton the number of sheep in the United States had nearly ouDeu We
price per head had more than doubled I'M te american epm Tau
made. exclusive of sales during the three intervening years, the difference
between sixty-seven and two hundred and fortysix million dollars
Let u Democratic friends answer that!
Nevada sheepmen got some benefit Of this.
The sheepman in Nevada who has 5000 sheep in 1892 could sell
them for $4,000. Following the same fluctuations in numbers and
happened during the next (Democratic) four years II 1895 that MOCK
of sheep had decreased to $500 head, the price had decreased to slS2
and they were worth only $6916.
A loss of s63s4, or almost half!
;urng the next four years of Repub can rule let us SCI what hap
pened to that flock of sheep.
1t had increased in numbers following the statistical averages TO
$3.50, worth $50 a head, or $26,442.
Here are the figures again that show the varying financial status
Of the Nevadan sheepman who in 1892 had 5000 head valued in that Re
publican year at $4,000.
After four years Democratic rule value $5s16.
After four succeeding years Republican rule value $26'442.
Are not these statistics significant?
Should not the sheepmen of Nevada view a Democratic admlnlstra-
ton with the same alarm and forboding that they would the menace OF
a devastating army?
There can. therefore, be no just criticism of the aGof P. l. Flani-
gan who as Republican national committeeman, requested the sheepmen
Of Nevada to contribute a few hundred dollars each to the Republican
campaign fund.
When churches take up collections to beat the devil, 1t Is approprf
ate to call on Nevada sheepmen to save the country from Democracy.

RED TOP LEASE.
Is IN RICH ORE

The Consolidated Red Top lease
on the Red Top, is the scene of an
other good find that promises to turn
out to be the best in the district. At
the 150-foot level in a drift yester-
day morning, nearly three feet of ore
was entered that assays as high as
1898. This shoot is evidently the
same as the one encountered in the
upraise at the 225-foot level, thirty
five feet above the floor of the drift.
Connections will now be quickly
made with the two levels by uprais-
ing and sinking a Wine. The work
at the 300-foot level is being pushed,
and the ore shoot is liable to be
entered any day. At the present time
the daily output from the lease is
about twenty tons of ore that will
run $40 a ton, and nearly all of II
comes out in the course of develop
ment.
The discovery of pay rock on thii
portion OF the Red Top, which is OF
the north end of the claim, is of bet
ter grade than the ore that has beef
mined in the main working shat
close to the south end of the prop
erty. The extent of the ore bodies
both at the $50 and 225-foot levels
have not yet been determined, but
from what work has been done, tn
lease promises to turn out n of tn
