E. C. RIddeII

In choosing Mr. E. G. Riddell as one
of the candidates for the assembly, the
democratic county convention chose
wisely and we'll. Mr.. Riddell has been
a resident of Elko county since 1881,
when he settled in Starr valley. Dur
ing all these years since, he has been one
Of the county's solid citizens.
He has an extension knowledge of
state affairs which will be at the service
Of the people in the next legislature. A
farmer by occupation, he knows the
needs of the agricultural class who
suffer more than any other class through
bad legislation. If elected, as he ought
to be, his voice and vote will be in favor
of honest, economical legislation for the
benefit of all the people of the state
without distinction of class or creed
Mr.. Riddell is a democrat. He has
always been true to his party and the
party should be true to him on the Sd
of November. Although candidate
on the democratic ticket and entitled
to his party vote, he solicits the support
of all classes of voters. In return for
this support, he will devote his time,
energy and ability to the service Of the
people in the next legislature.
"A law-abiding citizen himself he
believes in the maintenance of law
and order in this state, but he will
support no legislation that has for its
object the oppression of miners or any
other class Of laborers. A workingman
himself, he will. support all just mear
sures that have for their object the
protection of the lives of all who toll,
whether in the mine, the mill, the
fact,Ty, on, the railroad or in any other
branch of industry.
J In voting for Mr.. E. G. Riddell, the
/ voters Of Elko county will make no
mistake. His long residence in the
county, his record as q citizen, and his
ability and integrity are sure guaran-
tees to the people that he will perform
| his duties as legislator faithfully and
well. a.. ~

A Ns,s Story Of Lincoln

- (.
What is believed to be q new story of
President Lincoln. is told by Adlai E.
Stevenson in the Woman's World
(October), He says:
Several months before Ppesident
Lincoln issued the great. Proclamation
of Emancipation which gave frecdom to
the whole race of negro slaves in
America. my friend, Senator Hende rson
of Missouri, came to the White House
one day and found Mr.. Lincoln in a
mood of deepest depression. Finally
the great president said 60 his caller and
friend that the moot constant and acute
pressure was being brought upon hi m
by the leaders of the radical element of
his party to free the slaves.
Sumner and Stevens and Wilson

just as he said this, he walked to the
window looking out upon Pennsylvania
Avenue and stood there in silence, his
tall figure silhouetted against the light
of the window pane, every line of it and
of his gracious face expressive of I'M
utterable sadness. Suddenly his lips
began to twitch into q smile and his
somber eyes lighted with twinkle of
something like mirth.
'HEhe only schooling ever had, Hen
derson," he remarked, was in log
schoolhouse when. reading books and
grammars were unknown. All ;oHr
reading was done from the Scriptures
and we stood up in a long line and read
in turn from the Bible. Our lesson one
day was the story of the faithful, Israel
ties who were thrown. into the fiery
furnace and delivered by the hand of
the Lord without so much as. the smell
of fire upon their garments. 1t fell to
one little fellow to read the verse in
which occurred, for the first time in the
chapter, the names of Shadrach,
Meshach and Abed-ne-go. Little Bud
stumbled on Shadrach, foundered on
Meshach, and went all to pieces on
Abed-ne-go. Instantly the hand Of the
master dealt him O. cuff ON the side of
the head and left him wailing and blub-
bering as the next boy took up the
reading. But before the girl at the end
of the line had done reading he had
subsidized into sniffies and finally became
quiet. His blunder and. disgrace were
forgotten by the others of the, class
until his turn was approaching to read
again. Then, like thunder-clap out of
clear sky, he set up wall which even
alarmed the master, who, with rather
unusual gentleness inquired:
What's the matter now2"
Pointing with shaking finger at
the verse which a few moments later
would fall to him to read, Bud managed
to quayer out the answer: g..t.
tLook there, master-there comes
them same dam three fellers again.
Then, his whole face lighted with
such smile as only Lincoln could give,
and he beckoned Senator Henderson to
his side. silently pointing his long bony
finger to three men who were at that
moment crossing Pennsylvania Avenue
toward the door of the White House.
They were Sumner, Wilson and Thad-
deus Stevens.
