CONGRESSMAN "EXPLAINS"
HIS VOTES. SOME WANT
HIM READ OUT OF THE
PARTY. WHO IS TO DO
THE JOB?

Congressman George A. Bartlett
seems to have finally confirmed his
apos.asy by confessing judgment and
rather glorying in his actions in vot-
ing against his party in Congress this
spring.
Bartletts temperament is such that
he Is impatient of criticism. 1t is
true that some of his critics are not
fair to- him and have other than con.
siderations of mere criticism behind
their attacks, which may count for
the Incorporate language Bartlett
uses In replying to them.
u Is to be regretted that Bartlett
saw 1T to ask republican newspa-
per to print what can be nothing but
a defense of his action in voting with
the republicans. especially when any
number of democratic newspapers in
the state have refrained from taking
any part in the criticisms until he
had an opportunity to explain why
ac voted as he did
As far as his vote on the tariff
schedules are concerned, his explana.
tion is satisfactory to most of the
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1909-05-25

democrats of the state. There are
a few democrats, however, that would
not give Bartlett a look in on any
proposition if they had a chance.
They fought him in the convention
last fall and refused to get out and
work for him after he was nOmin-
ated on the ticket.
These are entitled to little consid
Grafton but they nave taken occasion
to start campaign against Bartlett
throughout the state, and they are
ciamoring To read Bartlett out of the
party. This reading out business is
bunco. A man can no more be read
out of a party than he can be made to
ny. No power on earth can compel
him to cease working for party or
from voting with that party.
AS to any future preferment, that
is another matter.
The editor of tais paper worked
harder for Bartlett than for any 9th
er man on the ticket. Bartlett is one
OF the best little men that ever walk
ed. He numbers his close personal
friends by the thousands in Nevada
and elsewhere. No man in the his.
tory of the state ever went through
such a campaign as did Bartlett last
fall and he won by sheer force OF
pure nerve and Stick-tO-itivenesS.
There are those of his enemies that
Will declare he was elected with Geo.
NIXon's money.
That is a statement that cannot be
successfully defended by the men
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1909-05-25

VINO are making 1t.
Just what Bartlett's connection
with Nixon may be, if there is any,
aside from mis- position as attorney
for the GOldfield Consolidated Mining
Co. of GOldtieid, which he held up to
the time the campaign started last
fall we do not know nor care.
The fact remains. He has voted in
congress with the republicans instead
of standing with his own party on the
question of the rule of JC Cannon.
That is the great crime and it is a
great crime against his party that
Bartlett will never be able to explain.
AS for mis- votes on the schedules.
e was carrying out the only instruc.
i. the democratic party did not feel
interest enough in the matter to in.
s,ruct him in democratic way to
vote against all schedules. to vote
against any tariff bill proposed. cne
democratic party cannot b.ame Bart
lett for voting as he did. 1t is true
a good democrat should need no in.
structions as TO how he should vote,
but il must be remembered that dem
OCratS stand tor tariff for revenue
only so that the matter of the tariff
on hides was one that he was EMIT
led to have instructions upon and to
act accordingly.
Bartlett probably has forfeited his
political career in this state.
If he has. il is a good thing, both
for Bartlett and the party.

LET HIM THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST
THE FIRST STONE IN CONDEMNATION

Bartlett has wasted the time, so
far as his finances are concerned, he
has spent in politics in the last three
or four years.
He has done the state lot of good
as its representative and the fact
that he was elected last fall was no.
tice to the United States that this
state stands for law and order and
for any man who supports law and
order.
AS for the party, it will be rid OF
any man whose course causes any ui-
vision in party lines.
Bartlett is not the only one. There
are others. There are democrats who
demonstrated in the last Legislature
that they are no more fit to be de
clared and counted democrats than
the best republican in the legislature
and there are others in the same
category.
1t is all we'll enough to talk about
harmony and harmony is essential to
success at the next election, but the
harmony proposed a la kuropatkin,
with the dsturbers all dead, is a sort
of harmony that has never worked
yet and never will work.
The Democratic party is great en-
oush in this state, the only north
ern state that remains demOcratic
to get along without any man or any
half dozen men and most of the hue
and cry against Bartlett is part of the

GIBSON MAKES
HIS REPORT

S. c. Gibson, Superintendent of the
Nevada Hospital for Mental diseases,
is circulating his report for the past
two years, which was recently trans
mitted to Governor Dickerson.
The superintendent report sets
forth the statement that the total
number of patients is 209, consisting
of $50 males and So females. Dur
ing the two years covered by the re-
port A patients recovered, or 44.S9
per cent of the total number admit
ted.
OF the SO admitted, "a were more
tnan so years Of age, eight past 90
years, seven were more than 70
years, four more than eighty years OF
age and one patient claimed to be
100 years. ME average duration OF
the confinement of those discharged
was less than ten months. The per
capita cost of each patient is SSH
cents per diem.
The amount expended was 500,
e01.69, for improvements, nearly one
half OF which was for new heating
plant. The legislature appropriated
for the needs of the hospital for these
two years, Sill, 300, of which amount
100000 was directed toward general
maintenance.
The report is a comprehensive one,
covering so printed pages and sets
forth the work in every detail; what
has been done and what needs to be
done to meet the increasing demand.
