ject being the removal of the county
| seat from DAYTON to Yerington in order
to sell few town lots.
He stated that the Duke of yelling
ton had defeated Napoleon at Waterloo,
! Yerington But as he failed to state
where Waterloo was, and they were dis
cussing local matters, the writer sup
posed that Waterloo must be some
suburb of Mason City.
He stated that they didn't enter into
| politics at all, their clubs being non
partisan any one could join who de
sired, but he was expected to pledge
himself to vote for the five candidates
on their ticket.
At this point Mr.. Farris, the first
speaker, took issue with Mr.. Moore and
stated that it was not political but
| non partisan business meeting. But not
being able to decide what to call it,
they asked the chair for a decision. He
said he understood it to be a non-part
isan political meeting; but that not be-
iig satisfactory to the speakers, they
appealed to the house to inform them
what their meeting was.
Some of the audience stated that the
Smith Valley club was non partisan
political club, but it seemed to the
writer if being bipartisan political
club and the candidates men
toned by Mr.. Farris being all Demo
well and Mr.. Farris would either have
to change the name of his clubs or the
politics of some of his candidates.
| At this point the chairman called a
recess and refreshments, consisting of
| lemonade and other good things fol
! lowed by cigars, were passed around by
preciated by the visitors from Yering-
| ton
After recess opportunity vas given to
any one present to address the meeting
Mr. Shillingford, being called upon to
make some remarks. said lie was a resi-
dent of Lyon County and expected to
remain i'll the county and be taxpayer.
He said he was well acquainted with
many people in Yerington and found no
| criminals there and was treated as well
as in any other community and couldn't
see where the people of Yerington had
caused any unrest or ll-feeling i'll Lyon
County, and thought the people of Yer
ington had perfect right to present
their claims for the courthouse at this
| time if they so desired.
The next speaker called upon was Mr.
Hammond, of Yerington, who stated
he didn't come to make a speech but to
listen to what others had to say, but if
they would give him an opportunity to
address the Smith Valley club at later
date and before the coming election he
would be pleased to do SO.
The privilege being granted, Mr..
Hammond will address the Smith Val
ley club at the Smith school house on
Saturday evening, Nov. 5th.
The next speaker introduced was
Frank Simpson, one of the wealthiest
real estate owners in the county. His
remarks were pointed and telling. He
said he could't see where the people of
Yerington had treated any one unfairly
and that as we soon had to build a court
house some place he thought the people
of Yerington were as much entitled to it
as ANYBODY else, and he didn't quite
understand why the people i'll the
north end of the county should be anX-
| ious to leave county where the rate of
taxation was exceedingly low and be an
nexed to county where the taxes are
very high.
! His remarks we're greeted by shouts
/ OF applause by those present and the
meeting adjourned to meet at the Smith
school house Saturday evening, No
1 vember Sth.
