The qaesliun of whether IA yotef
who signs the petition of one of the
many candidates for a nomination at
the primaries to be held September
9Th must go to the booth and vote
for the candidate whose paper he
signed, regardless of whether he
believes the candidate to be the best
man for the place or not, has been
discussed by state papers considera,
bly, of late Here is what the Reno
Gazette says:
Someone, who evidently signed a
nominating blank, has had an after
thought. He wonders what he swore
to when he intended to support at
The primaries the candidate signed
for Intend, is most elastic word,

oe construed as pretend, make be-

meanings such as to look for or ex-

THE Gazette sought legal advice
in the matter and finds that there

The following article, which ap-
peared last week in the Anaconda
Standard, newspaper owned by
Cole-Ryan interests, may be taken as
a semi-official statement from them,
says the Ely Record, in regard to
the construction of a railroad Oh
the most direct line from the new
smelter at Tooele, Utah, to the Cir
oux mines in the Ely district
'ln the first place Senator clark
realizes that the ores that will be
turaed over to his road for transpor-
tation in the Tintic district cf Utah
are of uncertain quantity and he Is
naturally looking for a new freight
OF this character. The Cole-Ryan
peop.e and the international Smelt-
ng corporation would, by the con-
struction of this direct line, be CIV
en- a straight outlet for the ores from
their Giroux mine at Ely to the In
ternatlonal smelling plant at Tooele,
which now holds the contract for
treating the Giroux ores. AS things
stand at present, the Giroux people
are obliged to turn their ores over
the New. Northern railroad, which Is
owned by the rival camp of the Gug-
genheims, through their ownership
of control of the stock of the Ne
vada Consolidated Copper company
which in turn, own all the stock Of
the Nevada Northern railroad
Not only is it disagreeable FOL
the Cole-Ryan people to turn theil
ores over to their competitor, but
the haul from Ely to Tooele over the
existing road is more than twice as
long as the haul would be over the
road proposed to be built by Senator
Clark.
SAT present the ores from the Cir
oux Consolidated have to be shipped

Speaking of the opening Of the
Western Pacific for through passen-
ger service on August %, the San
Francisco Chronicle e says it will mean
the breaking OF the blockade which
the southern Pacific has held on
that city for forty years.
In no detail of service does the
new road wed al advantage TO the
old line In running time, in rolling
stock and roadbed, in scenic beauty
along the route, and in thorough
ness of service, the Western Paclf-
lc starts fully equipped for rivalry
WITH the southern Pacific company.
The course that is followed by the
could line from Salt Lake City to
San Francisco is somewhat longer
than that of the Southern Pacific,
Dut the advantage is all with the for
mer route because of the better
grades. The Western Pacific cross
es the Sierras at point 2000 feet
lower than the Hartman system
At Beckwith Pass it mounts to an
elevation of 5,118 feet, but it is one
of the feats of modern engineering
that the maximum grade on the
whole line is | per cent, and this per
centage is made necessary on onil
1870 miles of the total length of 92'
miles.

to Cobre and then in order to reach
Ogden and Salt Lake City, many
miles away from the direct line be-
tween Ely and Tooele
1T is understood that Senator
Clark now has men on the ground
making survev of the new road.
Some years ago part Of the road was
surveyed and so well did the pro-
moters of the plan think of the pro-
ject at the time, some 20 miles of
grading was done just outside of
Tintic Junction near Tooele. II there
was an excuse for the contemplated
building of the road then, there is
urgent demand for 1t now, and when
smelters costing millions of dollars
are being put up at Tooele and the
only available ore supply of import
ance that can reach the smelter
cheaply and expeditiously comes from
the Utah Consolidated mines.
"A mining man who is familiar
with the entire territory has made
the following statement about the
plan:
The building of a new road from
Tooele to Ely is the only means by
which the Cole-Ryan people can hope
to make complete success of Their
new smelling plant at Tooele, and tC
make it a success is surely what

that there will be 1926 voting delegates
