The Republican Newspapers
all as one urge the people to
join the party of progress and
prosperity mainly the Republi-
cans. BY reading such articles
we are forced to believe that
the Republicans have no issues
to bring before the voters or if
they have, they do not dare to
make them public because the
people usually find in the end
that the platform served by the
Republicans are never carried
out. Now they think by call
ing themselves the party of
and prosperity that
they can fool the people once
more. Why don't they tell us
what kind of progress they
mean and what kind of pros
perity, and who is prospecting?
Just let us know do they think
people will join them simply
on empty words?

WESTERN
INTERESTS
Being Discussed and
CONGRESS Will be Asked
to Leeislate

A conference of Importance to all
states in which reclamation service
projects have been established, and
especially to Nevada, was held at
Washington Monday between Secre-
tary Garfield and a delegation from
Nevada concerning delinquent settlers
unable to meet their payments for
lands acquired under the Truckee-
Carson projects.
After discussing the situation,
which is similar to that in other
states, it was decided to have the
Secretary of the Interior request Con-
gress to enact legislation granting
him discretionary power to deal with
each individual case in accordance
with its merits and hardships involv-
ed. A conference also was held be-
tween Secretary Garfield and Sena-
Western Senators regarding the re-
cent department order Withdrawing
all phosphate lands of the West from
entry. Secretary Garfield explained
that the withdrawal was to be tenn
porary and was made primarily to
protect home interests from prospect
i've acquisition of these lands by for
eign corporations and the phosphate
trust. When satisfactory legislation
can be secured to protect this proper
ty against threatened acquisition by
foreigners, the lands will be restored
to entry.
Governor Dickerson has dispatched
the following letter to Secretary of
the Interior Garfield regarding the
proposed relief of the homesteaders
along the line of the Truckee-Carson
Irrigation project:
CARSON CITY, NEW, Dec. II, 1908.
Hon. James R Garfield, Secretary of
the Interior, Washington, D. C.
Sir: I am in reseipt of letter
from John E. Worden of Fallon, Chur-
chill County, Nevada, stating that he
has charge of petition to you asking
that an investigating committee be
sent to the Truckee-Carson Irrigation
project in Churchill County to meet
with the homesteaders and learn
whether they need relief in the mat
ter of extension of time for payment
of water, and in what form such re-
lief can best be given, according to
the results of their investigation.
By newspaper dispatches observe
that our Congressional delegation,
Senators Newlands and Nixon and
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1908-12-17

Representative Bartlett, have called
upon you with reference to this mat
ter and that you have promised to
recommend to Congress the passage
of an Act giving you discretion to
grant relief in particular cases. This
probably would be a happy solution
of the difficulty and avoid establish
ing a general precedent of making
extensions of time for payment of
water on other irrigation projects. It
might be we'll to supplement the Act
suggested by the appointment Of the
committee prayed for in the petition
above mentioned so that they could
advise you of the cases meriting re-
lief.
1 am satisfied that relief is needed
and if denied the project might be
hindeered and homesteaders subject
ed to great hardships.
BY this mail I am writing our Con-
gressional delegation along the lines
of this letter. Very respectfully,
D. S. DICKERSON,
Lieutenant and Acting Governor.

BUSY WITH
PETITIONS
Anti-Cambline League
Will Demand a New
Election

The petition of the Reno Anti-Gam-
bling League for another special elec-
ton on the proposed ordinance pro
hibiting gambling in the city of Reno
was placed in circulation early this
week and Secretary Hooper of the
Reno Anti-Gambling League states
that the petition is receiving many
signatures. He states further that he
believes that the Anti-Gambling
League will be successful in it's fight
this time and compel the city council
to adopt the ordinance, which if
passed will do away with gambling in
that city. ..
Secretary Hooper states further the
league has now in circulation in diff
ferent parts Of the State, petitions
calling upon the Nevada Legislature
to pass law prohibiting gambling in
this State. He says that these peti-
tions are being extensively signed and
that the legislature will have to face
the opposition of great many people
if they fail to pass the laws petitioned
for. He does not state however, that
he believes the laws petitioned for
will be passed.

Night

Three papers were given at the
Leisure Hour Club Wednesday night.
Mrs. Paris Ellis and one of the finest
on India yet read in the club. She
left the young people and the chap
eron in atyphoon Of the coast OF
Hindoostan and gave a very clear and
enlightening picture of India, it's peo-
pie and customs.
Miss Tichelle Cohn followed with a
paper on the government OF India
which was exhaustive and so well
arranged that no one who heard it can
plead ignorance of the legal and ex-
ecutive practice in that country.
Discussion followed both papers.
Mrs. Sam Davis exhibited a carved
image of Buddha that exhibited a
great deal of curiosity. 1t was sent
her by a friend in New York, who
obtained it from a temple in Ran
goon, Burma, a political division of
India proper.
James ID. Finch closed the evening
with a review of the life and work of
Moses, the Law Giver, to the sue
cess of which Rev. McCreery con-
tributed a most elightening discus
sion.

Aspirants for the Speakership are
Busy. Counties Will Stand by

in Humboldt, and if Frank Winters
retires in Elko County he will have
the Elko delegation. 1t takes eigh-
teen votes in caucus of the Assembly
more than the required number.
Frank Folsom of Washoe, a candidate
has never been very strong in the
fight, though doing a lot of good,
hard work. He was Speaker pro
tenn at the last reular and special ses
sions.
Lem Alien probably will be chair
man of the Committe on Ways and
Means or of the Legislative Com
mittee.
Over in the Senate, there is less
active work for the place of Presi-
dent protein, for that place is about
conceded to George D. Pyne, the
Democratic hold-over Senator from
Esmeralda. Senator Boyd of Wa
shoe, probably will be floor leader
duU CudH uldu VI luS otCCiluS COiu
mittee.
Esmeralda County, to which was ap-
portioned chief clerk of the House,
will insist on seating an Esmeralda
man. Nye County, to which was ap-
portioned secretary of the Senate,
may pass the nomination in exchange
for Speakership and it is understood
to have taken that action. If this
is done, Giffen will be elected with
out very much opposition and the ca
Gus will have the Nye County at
taches to dispose of through this ac-
tion has not been confirmed from Nyc
County. Esmeralda may pass her ap-
portionment in exchange for Pyne's
election to the chair in the Senate,
though this alone is not yet confirm
ed.
There is disposition on the part of
the organization in every county to
stand by the State Central Commit
tees action and the Governors wishes
in the matter, and while efforts are
being made to work a little private
business while it is being done, the
program will most probably go
through as the Governor and the or

Frame ups and trades are being
talked about for places in the coming
State Legislature and Lem Alien, Ex-
Lieutenant Governor, is out after the
Speakership of the Assembly with a
gun and dog, figuratively speaking.
Most of the would-be traders have
run up against the Governor and the
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, to say nothing of
the majority of the executive com
mittee, and he committees on organ
ization.
During the campaign the exec
utive committee appointed spec
ial committee, with the Cover
nor as chairman, to devise plan for
the proper distribution of appoint
ments as attaches in each branch of
the Legislature. This committee re-
ported and the report was adopted.
The Secretary of the State Central
Committee was directed to notify
each county county chairman and
each legislative candidate and the ap-
pointment, as made, was considered
good politics. The action added from
three to half dozen candidates in
every county, for those chairmen who
received the notification at once call
ed a meeting of their respective COM
mittees and got down to business.
Unfortunately, through some over
sight or other reason, many of the
candidates, very few in fact, were no.
titled by the secretary and some of
the counties were in ignorance CT the
action until after the election This
caused confusion in two counties.
Then came proposal from one or
two persons to trade apportionment
in their own interests. Some of the
counties thinking the plan had been
abandoned were disposed to trade,
but others stuck fast to the agreement
and the majority of the caucus will
stand.
The Governor has declared that he
stands for the apportionment. So
has the Chairman of the State Central
! Committee and others in the execu-
tive committee, majority in fact
All this affects in slight measure
the candidacy of different Assembly
men-elect for Speaker. Allen de-
clares he will stand by the action of
the committee in apportioning the at
taches. So will Esmeralda County,
Nye County, Lincoln County, White
Pine County and Humboldt County.
in Eureka County, where are no Dem
! ocratic Legislators, the apportionment
will be carried out the same as in any
| other county, for it was through no

that county they did not win. Elko
County will also stand by it and it is
believed that Washoe County will al
so take the same stand
| Ormsby County stands by the agree
ment as does Douglas, in fact nearly
every one of the fourteen counties
are satisfied with the apportionment
and all are willing to stand by the
action of the State Central Committee
