SOME MAY
NOT VOTE
Owing to Oversight Of
Commissioners
of WaShoc.

RENO, Oct. 14.-1The County Com
missioners of Reno failed when nam
ing voting precincts for the city OF
Reno, to properly divide the city, and
as result many persons may not
have an opportunity to vote on No
vember Sd. The law OF Nevada pro-
vides that there shall not be more
than 480 voters in one precinct, and
this year in preparing for the elec-
ton the County Commissioners di-
vided Reno. into seven precincts In
stead of five.
This however is not enough There
are now five precincts having more
than 500 hundred voters and it is ar
gued by the politicians that all the
citizens of Reno registered in these
precincts will not have time enough
to cast their ballots. The Commits
sioners state that they can't remedy
the matter at this late hou', but state
that each precinct will have plenty
Of booths and that they believe all
persons desiring to vote will have
time to do so.
There are now registered in Reno
just 4,O58 voters. more than 1900
more than were registered in 1906.

Gambling League formally opened its
campaign against gambling in Reno.
Judge Downer and DR.. Robinson both

telling the people of the danger this
vice means to the community.
The members of the League are
confident the people will vote to en-
dorse the anti-gambling ordinance.
The gamblers are saying nothing to
the public, but are doing much quiet
work.
The League now claims that the
City Council has named gamblers or
the friends of gamblers as inspec-
tors, judges and clerks for the spec
ial election, and will endeavor to
have this remedied.

''The marvellous play of the cen.

POINTED QUESTIONS;
EVASlVE ANSWERS
Flanagan Tries toExplain His Many
Acts Against the Laborer
and the Farmer

vada will not endorse Mr.. Flanagan
for his treachery towards them.
! Flanagan also said that he didn't
vote against the eight-hour law, that
it was bill he voted against. The
laborers will have difficulty in seeing
the difference. A bill is a proposed
law. Flanagan voted against the bill
and when he killed the bill, by the
same token, he killed the law. He
didn't have a chance to repeat the
process in the next session for the
good reason that he was retired
Charge 3. That you have refused
your employees the right to organize
remains unanswered by Flanagan.
Charge 4. In which the measure
men eight hours is called bill
has been admitted as true by Flanagan
His explanation is Had the bill not
been condemned in committee he
should have voted for it."
Flanagan does not explain why he
proposed no amendments to this bill
He has not explained why bill not
substantially the same was passed
the next session and sustained as
constitutional by the Supreme Court.
Charge is answered by Flanagan
under his general denial that all
charges are absolutely and unqual
ifiedly false"
While Flanagan is organizing sec
Ananias club he might read over the
famous letter to the sheepmen de-
manding contributions Of $20O-each
under threat of punishment if refus-
ed. Flanigan's signature is on this
letter. 1t is the only answer to
charge 5.
Charge No. 6 is ignored, as is No.
Z, s and 8.
No. 6 and Z cannot be denied.
Flanigan's attack on Roosevelt re-
ferred to in charge No. 8 can be
read in the public prints of this
state not a year back. Flanigan's
attack on Taft, the "Taft-cannever-
be-elected" speech, is part of the
proceedings of the Winnemucca con-
vention.
Flanagan admits charge No. 10 in
words in spite of his general denial
of all charges. Il fail to agree with
Rosevelt's policy" said he at Ely.
Charge No. IL is ignored save for
the general denial. Flanigan's rec
ord on the War Veterans Relief Bill
is also on the records.
Flanagan has not yet finished his
speaking tour He may have other
explanations to offer to add to the
interesting collection so far made.

Is confronted by a series of question!
that have preceded him. These
questions cry aloud for answer
They can never be lodged or avoid
cd.
Everywhere Flanagan goes the peo
pie demand an answer from Flani
gan to these questions. Here are
some of them and few samples o.
his replies:
Isn't II a fact that:
/. Yon have been travelling on Q
s. p. pass?
2. Yon voted and fought against
the eight-hour law?
3. Yon have refused your en-
ployees the right to organize?
4. Yon sought by working and
voting to defeat the bill that would
give above-groud miners and millmen
eight hours?
8. You have tyrannized over the
small sheepmen whom you now or,
der to- contribute toward your polit-
ical schemes?
6. Yon offered Barney Moran a
salary OF $3.50 month and federal
position to further your candidacy;
also that
Z. You got caught and tried to
squirm out Of It?
8. You attacked Roosevelt in Re-
no publicly?
9. You denounced Taft in speech
at Winnemucca?
10. You stand for immense stock
ranges, contrary to the Roosevelt
policies. and the interests Of the
ranchmen?
IL. You moved and voted against
the relief bill for war veterans?
In his speech at Ely Flanagan plac-
ed himself in the peculiar position
of denying completely every charge
implied by these questions while he
In the same breath admitting the
truth of several. maintaining silence
on others giving such an explanation
of the rest as does not explain.
Take the 8. p. pass for instance.
Flanagan denies this charge. yet the
records at Carson show that s.
T.. pass was issued to p. :. Flanagan
for legal services. II the pass had
been returned and cancelled the rec
ords would show 1t and they do not,
This Is one of the charges denied
by Flanagan. With this denial In the
face of proof on record, his other de-
mails will be taken with grain OF
salt.
Take the question Of his opposi-
tion to the eight.hour law. Mr.. Flan-
igan evident feels the desperate need
of setting himself straight on this
for In every speech he has made,
he explains in a different way. each
calculated to appeal to the preju-
dice Of his hearers.
Flanagan In his speech at Love,
lock stated that he voted against the
eight-hour bills in the interest OF the
farmers and ranchers and for no
other reason.
In his speech at Ely he said that
he voted against the eight-hour bills
because they were defective.
II they were defective and he had
the interest of labor at heart. why
did he not propose some amendment
to make them comply with his no,
tion of the law and constitution?
In the same speech he claims he
was justified in voting against the
eight-hour bills because a committee
upon which there were two Demo,
Gratis. reported against 1t.
It Is well to remember that these
two Democrats as well as Mr. .Flani-
gan were left at home by their con
stituents at the following election.

to deprive the workingmen of their
rights and the workingmen Of Ne
