In renominating Bartlett and Civ
ing support to the state police bill.
the Nevada Democracy did better at
Tonopah than was generally expect
ed. The course followed, though bit
terly opposed by a radical minority,
was very evidently in recognition or
the fact that conservatism is in the
majority in the state and that the
only hope lies in falling in step with
it, The Democratic stand, as it now
appears from press dispatches, is
creditable as we'll as
good politics. 1t cannot make for
success in November for the party,
but it will strengthen its position in
to come, when We may
possibly hope to see Organism dis
placed and Democracy of the blown

Democratic state convention re-
suits as reported from Tonopah have
the look of campaign literature for
1910 and 1912 rather than for 1908.
Between the lines it is very plain
that the Democrats managers have
no hope of Nevada this year and will
waste but little ammunition in the
present campaign

HAD SAVED MONEY.


BUTTE, Sept. 3.-Belle Gilchrist
the victim of the Nome murder was a
resident of this city up to three years
ago, when she was the well known
matron of the mess of engineers,
foreman and bosses of the Anaconda
Mining company. She was about 80
years of age and possessed a small
fortune, which was all in personality.
a considerable portion being left in
the care of Z. e. Smith, a book
keeper of this city. The Gilchrist
woman WAS prominent in church
circles during her residence here.
Shortly after her marriage TO john
ston. a miner. of prepossessing ap-
pCarance, they left for Alaska.
The last letter Smith received in
Mrs. Johnston own handwriting was
about eighteen months ago. Since
then two letters came asking for
money, in lots of $500 and $500. in
each case it being explained that Mrs.
Johnston had broken her arm and
was debating the letter TO her hus-
band. The money was sent. and the
drafts came back endorsed in the
handwriting of The husband
SMITH BECAME SUSPICIOUS.
Three months ago Johnston came
here and demanded an accounting of
the money belonging to Mrs John
ston. Mr.. Smiths suspicious were
by this time aroused and he hesitat-
ed about taking action without
papers better than those or power of
attorney.
Johnston flew into rage and going
to Smiths employer, told him that he
had papers in his pocket that would
send Smith To the penitentiary,
Johnston again approached Smith
with threats, but the latter told him
that he would have nothing further
to do with him. and Johnston desist-
ed from further attempt to get
money and was not seen again.
Smith then communicated with
Ross Neagel. general passenger agent
of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company in Seattle. who investigated
and found that Johnston was living
with woman other than Belle Gill
christ. who represented herself as
Johnston's wife. The officers were
then notified and Johnson's arrest
followed

WOMEN JOIN FIGHT
TO DEFEAT COOK
Pioneer Mothers Statue Conn
mittee Hears Plea to Oppose
Vice Magistrate

Standing as we do for the sanctity
and integrity Of the home. we must
oppose Judge Carroll Cook, who abused
his judicial prerogatives to shield vile
dens which strike at the very existence
of the home" In these words, Mrs
Philip Verrill Mighels. secretary OF the
pioneer mothers statue committee, al
a meeting of that body held yesterday
at 1856 Sutter street. urged those pres
ent to work for the defeat of Carroll
Cook.
The meeting was held TO arrange for
a visit of the selection committee this
week to the studio of Douglass Tilden
the noted sculptor, who has prepared
five designs for the proposed statue to
be erected at the ferry in honor OF
California's pioneer mothers. But for
these pioneer mothers, the women de-
clared, California's present state OF
civilization would have been impossible
and immortality must have held sway
I'VE must stand with Father Caraher.' u
said Mrs. Mighels, '1n opposing the
man who protected immortality" Ex-
pressions of approval greeted Mrs
MighePs address.
The proposed statue will cost about
$4,000 and the fund is increasing
slowly but surely. A greater portion
Of the money now in hand has been
contributed in half dollars and quar-
ters, and all such contributions will be
welcomed by the committee.
The statue will be symbolic of law
and order, which first reached Cali
fornia with the arrival from the east
of the brave women who became the
wives Of the forty miners.
More than statue movement is ex-
pected to grow from the present body,
and already movements for similar
statues are under way in Boston and
New York. The eastern statues will be
in honor of the memory of the eastern
women who crossed the continent and
settled in California.
The local selection committee is as
follows: Mrs. Phebe Hearst, James D.
Phelan, Mrs. Philip Verrill Mighels,
Mayor Edward Taylor. Mrs Alice Scott
Knight, Miss Lillian O'Hara, Mrs. Ada
Catherine Clark, Miss Grace Livermore,
Robert H. Fletcher, Mrs. Lucia X. Ma

GOMPERS BEGS FOR
VOTES FOR BRYAN
President of American Fedora
ton Makes Final Appeal to
Organized Labor

NEW. YORK, Nov. 1.-Samuel Com
.pers. president of the American fedora
tion of labor. made his final appeal to
organized labor tonight to support the
candidacy of William ]. Bryan. In an
address extending over two hours Com
pers dealt in detail with the labor is
sues of the campaign. Grand Central
Palace, where the meeting was held,
was crowded.
In the course of his address Gompers
declared that William H. Taft in
speech at Buffalo last Friday night had
endeavored to misrepresent the cause of
labor and to deceive laboring men into
the belief that prominent leaders were
falling away from Gompers in his ef-
fort to pledge the labor vote to the
democratic party"-this quoted phrase
being included in a paragraph from
Tafts Buffalo speech, which, Gompers
read.
LEADERS REPLIES READ
After reading this Gompers said
Then Mr.. Taft mentioned the names
of John Mitchell, James Duncan Max
Morris and Daniel J. Keefe as men who
were falling away from Mr. Gompers."
Yesterday I sent kilograms to John
Mitchell and to James Duncan
did not send kilograms to Morris
or Keefe. I will now read you the
answers:
Quincy, Mass, Nov l.
have not changed In thought, word or deed
since our Washington executive meeting, when
our circular was drawn mp and approved by the
whole council. ANY statement by any party
stating differently Is without authority from me-
nor do expect to change my views. You are at
liberty to use this In any way you fit.
JAMES DUNCAN.
The next telegram is dated Chicago,
October 31st. and reads:
Your telegram giving what purports to be
extract from q eDeech made nv Taft mr.
Buffalo last night is at hand. His statement
so far as relates to me, conveys wrong i'm
with the policy of the American federation of
labor as promulgated and outlined by the execu-
tive council. - JOHN MITCHELL
BRANCHES INDORSE GOMPERs
Gompers read telegram of similar
purport from Max Morris of Denver
He also read two other kilograms, one
from the branch of the American fed
GRAFTON of labor at Louisville and the
other from the branch at Fort Wayne,
Ind. Both the kilograms informed Com
pers that the branches had indorsed
Gompers' policy.
The kilograms and peroration were the
two striking features Of the labor lead
ers speech. Gompers was in such great
earnestness that he implored the audi
ence not to interrupt him with applause.
saying:
GOMPERS ATTACKS TAFT

and your judgment, and not your en-
thusiasm. The appeal / make tonight
l hope will not pass away like an ordi-
nary appeal. I want you to remember
what | say, not until next Tuesday,
but until justice has been secured for
labor.
Gompers attacked Judge Taft for what
he termed his unfair and terribly in
furious labor injunctions. He detailed
the campaign that had been conducted
to secure recognition at the republican
and democratic national conventions.
and ended with the following:
appeal to you on this coming Tues
day TO so cast your ballots as to ex-
press your demand for justice to labor.

How any party or set Of men in San Fran

Dunno down and refuse 70 nominate him Is
beyond my comprehension. The local party guilty
OF Il ought TO be severely rebuked. I DO not
know. nor care 10 what party men ike Judge
Dunno belong. He should have been nominated
by all parties with the good Of our city al
heart. No man who loves this city can OF
viii vote against Judge Dunno, and you, Mr.
Worthington, away down in your heart, know
Il should be 80.
In the matter OF judges and city officers pol
ftics should not be considered. The sooner this
IS done the better IL viii be for our great
republic. For whom would President Roosevelt
