POLITICAL VIEWS OF OLD Timers
all questions of public welfare"

"What is your opinion on the politi-
cal situationf' was asked Republican
State Central Committeeman Thomas
Nelson, of Stone House, by represen-
tative of the Lovelock Tribune in Win
nemucca last Sunday.
"While do not profess to be an
authority on political matters" was
the response, sit looks to me, in the
national field, as though it would be
Taft on the first ballot at Chicago, and
in all human probability he will be
elected. AS to who will be the nominee
for second place is rather problematical
With the presidential nomination 60
ing to Ohio, that IF viee-president
would ordinarily go to New York. But
this year the situation is rather diff
ferent than in other campaigns. Taft
is President Roosevelt's out-spoken
choice for his successor, and his inf l.
ence is SO strong in New York that it
may not be considered necessary to
give that state place on the ticket.

DOESN'T PAY THE PRINTER.

There is class of men in every com
munity, who, upon their debut, have
to depend for public notice upon the
local newspapers. They arc ever on
the alert for free advertising. They
never turn down any kind of adver.
tising, provided it is free. BY and By
they amplify their business, make mo
ney, accumulate-they are bound to
accumulate-and they get ready to do
some advertising. Having learned from
the free article the value of advertis-
ing, they advertise literally. But not
in the homo newspapers. They hav,
nc use for that. They send their mo
ney to Denver, San Francisco, to New
York, perhaps to all three. But there
is no recollection of the newspaper
they helped to put them on their feet.
