The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1908-10-17

Dol, the jackass, was nat chosen by the
Democratic party as an emblem with
any other purpose in view than that it
would always furnish a ready-made
excuse which would relieve the party
from the burden Of it's mistakes. This
il taking an undue advantage Of the
jackass.
When Senator Flanagan, in his Ely
letter, explained fully and definitely
his attitude on organized labor, the
Democratic party, in order to reply
entered its patient steed at once for
the Ananias sweepstakes.
No one who reads the Journal Of
the senate Of Nevada for 1901 can
escape the conclusion that p. L.
Flanagan IL a political hypocrite,
for by word and deed he is there
by revealed al a persistent, unre-
lenting and vindictive foe to the
workingman. Democratic News
Bureau.
The oasis of this cruel charge is that
Flanagan, az state senator, voted
against q crudely constructed eight
hour bill which a Democratic committee
of the senate, in charge of the bill,
reported UNFAvORABLY, WITH
THE RECOMMENDATION THAT 1T
DO NOT PASS. A Democratic COM
mittee, mind you! The chairman Of
that committee was Hon. T. J. Bell,
whom the Democratic party penalizsd
for so doing by eleeting him, unani-
mously, chairman of the recent Tono-
pah state convention. which nominated
Flanigan's opponent, Mr.. Newlands.
for United States senator. This natur-
ally was about as acute torture as
could possibly be inflicted. and after
presiding over that protracted brain

tuous spasms of bringing forth a plat

later, and on the statement from the
committee that the bill was defective

against it. The assertion that Senator
Flanagan attacked the bill in commit

appeared before the senate to bear
witness that long hours Of labor
