SENATOR NEWLANDS
MAKES STATEMENT
Says He Sees No Reason for Discord in the
Democratic Party in Nevada---Rairoad
Does Not Dominate Politics of State
Speaks of Police and Anti Gambling Bill.

lat our word and withdrew Black
Wallace from the lobby and ever
since then we have had a state ad-
ministration and state legislatures
absolutely free from railroad DOM
nation, and devoted to the inter-
ests of the people.
Reform Legislation.
NO state in the Union has made
such progress as we have In the
line of reform. We have adopted
the initiative and referendum, and
have taken steps to adopt the re-
call We have established the d.
rect primary. We have organized a
railroad commission that really reg
ulates We have advanced toward
a more just equalization of railway
taxes. We have passed irrigation
and mine inspection laws. We have
adopted an eight-hour day. We
have passed an employers liability
act, a full train crew law, an anti
blacklisting law and other legisla-
ton helpful to labor. We have
stood for law and order, and have
] passed the police bill and enforced
it; and we have passed the anti
gambling act.
Railroad Commission and Police
I'm all these measures no men
have been more conspicuous than
those whom l have named. Why
should they now be at swords
!. points? Boyd has been one Of the
, best legislators Nevada has had.
He framed the railroad commission
act. and was most potential in pass
, ing it, Dickerson and Stoddard
, named the railroad commission
Bartine, Thurtell and Shaughnessy
combining all the essentials of
coed commission, and vindicating
) by their action the men who select
. ed them. Bartlett, Sweeney and
Boyd, at a most critical moment,
} acted courageously and wisely in
pushing through the police bill,
:, which saved the state from internal
disorder. Dickerson, after Sparks
> death, at Miners union meeting
in Goldfield, most courageously i'm
d periled his popularity with the min
ers by declaring that, while favoring
k certain notifications, he would veto
: any bill repeating it. And all these
= men combined at the Tonopah con-
IS vention in vigorous declaration
i for law and order and the enforce
n ment of the police bill, with sug-
IS gested amendments; in startling
Is contrast with the weak and evasive
u declaration ON the subject by the
t. Republican party.
=, Anti.Gambling Bill.
It mo man was more conspicuous
!. than Sweeney in the passage Of the
: Ianti-gambling act-a measure which
is will do more to restore the good
g name of this state, to advance its
- morals and secure its progress than
Q any other upon our stateute books
r "Dickerson took hold Of the
railroad tax question with firmness
and decision, and although under
Democratic administration, gradu.
al increase in the railroad tax had
e been made, demonstrated conclu.
d sively, with the aid of the railroad
e, startling disproportion between tbs
n value upon which the railroad re
le ceived rates and the value upon
which it paid taxes.

Insurgency is in the air. In boil
