fifty on public safety. or rat killing,
or some thing. and that fixed the pub
licity end OF the campaign. The edi-
tor is in the harness in great shape,
pouring hot shot INTO tae enemy ev-
IN ut the lannon's mouth. He has
his work cut out for the enemy SIM
ply eats 1t up and yells for more.
While all this was going ON the
good old machine was grinding along
at the old address. Mayor kirman
of course had u bad quarter of IN
hour with his confrcre, guide, phil
usopaer and friend Harris, subject,
How i'm hell could you have did it,
and from the eXplanationings of Ha:-
ris he drew the conclusion that Wal
ter had been handed something, some
thing sour and Juicy that won't grow
i'm this bracing climate outside of a
hot house. Needless to say there are
no hot houses in Reno in active OPP
Grafton. but the machine finally
ground out its grist and it is Il hot
one all right.
That noble old Roman, man OF
family. friend of the poor-aud OF
some of the rich. Wholesale bother OF
jOy-and Of sorrow. Arthur NJ. Britt,
than whom" the Journal says,
There is no more splendid citizen"
grabbed, simply grabbed. the nomin'
alton for Mayor, after much per
s~uasion OF course. He IS accused OF
being In with the saloon cement and
of the waole short hair contingent,
with includes about the same bunch
that defeated the anti-samblinS ordl-
nance three to one last fall. II he is.
he will probably sign all the ordinan.
ccs after the first of May.
Herbert Christie. incumbent. who
likes the place and intends To hang
ON with bota feet il necessary, is the
candidate for city clerk. There may
be others but they don't count with
Christie and lobe Taylor, who hates
To do it but-you know.

lawyer, Homer Mooney, who has
been u newspaper man just long
enough TO get wise, and has all othcr
candidates in thc race Tor polio,
judge laboring hard around the turn,
he meanwhile coming in under wraps,
II long shot almost safe home.
Now this same Mooney has had a
lot of experience in civic affairs and
ne knows the game. While he was q
newspaper man he was sent down to
the city hall to probe into tn" bond
uals that none had dared to write
about up 20 hat time, AMI have not
Seen fit to mention since. Mooney
was Johnny at the rat hole. In about
two articles he had the whole city
government gasping with painful and
eXasperatcd surprise. He was called
on by his boss but before he was
called OF he smoked out II lot ct
lunny business that started the wAole
city asking questions.
You cant keep u squirrel on the
ground so when this reform wave
struck the own Mooney SGT right in
front of it with his little broom and
he has been sweeping back II whole
sea of arguments and mis-statemen;s,
mailing lies TO the fence with his lit
tie tack hammer and making good
like IL methodist preacher at a camp
meeting.
OF course his long term as conf
Office didn't diminish his understand
ing of the inside of Reno and Washoe
county affairs, and Sam Stanaway.
Old Sam Us he styles himself. Judge
Richardson, the 81 IA week judge. and
Wher, all men old enough to be
Moneys father, are having an awful
time picking the place, to LAY nothing
OF show money. It's Mooney, VITA
his homely face against the field ana
NO price chalked up.
}. Is. O'Suilivan took "a leaf out OF
Billy Lunsford's book. Lunsford
sang himself into the Assembly last
fall. Jack has emitted some seraph-
ic notes and the fourth ward likes
them. That sterling citizen Charles
Sadlier, hotel keeper and member OF
the %"bunca," is touted a winner in
the third ward and Jim O'Neiil is gal
Looping strong in the fifth. Add to
these II half dozen more who are in
the night like a grain of wheat be-
tween two mill stones and you have
The candidates. ]
The Journal has espoused the cause
Of the machine and the short haired
element.
The Gazette is out for government
of the people, by the people and for
