Several days ago a purported
telegram was published in the Reno

man of his party there had announc-

Bartlett for congress. The Reno
papers published it and then the pub

saw that the item was circulated
throughout the state. Investigation
has proven the story utterly false
and without foundation. Mr.. Brosse-

ELECTION DAY LAW
ACT CLOSING SALOONS ONTHAT
DAY WORTHLESS.
SAYS DISTRICT ATTORNEY WAX
Measure Fashioned in Haste. Judge
Brunot Says That Conclusion
Reached By Official Seems to
Have Substantial Basis. :

Baton Rouge-The Act of the legis-
iature requiring the saloons to be
closed on general election day is worth
less, and no indictments Of the sa-
loon men Of Baton Rouge will be
brought in under it. as asked for by
the ladies of tho Home Protective
League of Baton Rouge. This is the
opinion by District Attorney Wax,
which opinion he gave the grand jury
at lis sitting a few days ago. On April
q, general election day. not a saloon
in Baton Rouge was closed, and pubh-
cation was made of the fact The La
dies Home Protective League took
up the matter and addressed COM
munications to Judge Brunot, Dis
trict Attorney Wax and the foreman
of the grand jury. calling their at
tention to this violation. District At
torney Wax went carefully into the
law. and he says that Act 152 Of
1898. requiring the saloons to be clos
ed on general election day, is in
effective because the provision re-
quiring the enforcement says: "The
Commissioners of Election are here
BY authorized to enforce this provis-
ion" This does not require the COM
missioners to enforce the provisions
does not say that they shall-but
says that they are authorized.
