GEORGE SPRINGMEYER MAKES STATEMENT

State. heard the speech. Under sucl
circumstances your assumption are
unpardonable
told you at a meeting of the Re.
publican County Committee i'll Gold
field on August 9TH that although
could not conscientiously advocate
your candidacy, if you were nominat-
ed | would keep my hands off and
not oppose you. Everywhere in Ne
vada have made a similar declara-
/, ton You and your Mr. Jones know
il. You understand fully the reasons
for my letter of which you complain
and how | accepted your assurances
! that you did not have railroad
! campaign fund. 1t is therefore your
evident and deliberate purpose to
| what my conduct after the pri-
maries will be. and to ALLEVIATE my
supporters on the ground that I
place my interests above party fealty.
| do place my duty to my state and
my country above party fealty, and |
am convinced that my doing so
meets with the approval of all loyal
Republicans. IS it my conduct or
yours that is unbecoming gentle
manl
You say that | have made false
statements in smy campaign What
are they? | demand that you make
them public and do not indulge in
cheap clap-trap and personal abuse
| want to say that in your state
ment you do to me what you falsely
charge me with having done to you.
You deliberately besmirch my name
and accuse me OF falsehood and dis
hone sty. Presumptuous as it may
seem to the purist you profess to be.
| believe my character is as unsullied
my patriotim as answering and my
ideals as high as yours.
| have trictly adhered to the plan
of campaign about which | told you
at the beginning. | have made no
misre representations and | shall make
none And | have treated you as
courteously as the eXegiencies of al
strenuous political war permit.
A word to you, Mr. Morgan, of the
Reno Gazette, bad Man from Ro
die" and traducer of men:
If you have the interests of the
Republican Party at heart why are
you opposing Republican state and
county candidates whose nominations
are uncontested? How many can
didates have you maligned until they
accede to your demands for money
What Interior motive have you III
this controversy and what induce
ments have been made to you? How
much Southern Pacific money have
you received from Boss Blakeslees
for giving sucn fulsome praise to his
protoge. Brown? What is the cause
of your bitterness toward me? You
remember in 1906 when | was can
didate for the Office to which | as
pire, you took me for wealthy mans
son. ripe tor plucking, and you en-
deavored to hold me up in return for
the Gazette's support-and | told
you in unmistakable terms what |
thought of you Since the n you have
reviled me- Aptly, indeed, are you
called 'the pole-cat of Nevada jour
nalism.' and your paper. Reno,
dirty little hold-up sheet"
And now word to you, Mr. Edi-
tor of the Goldheld Tribune. You
know very little of Nevada politics.
one, and you are getting your every
word. advice and information from
machine men.
To you. Mr. Stanford graduate.
who criticize and complain of plain
truths, | say that either you do not
understand or you are unworthy the
institution from which we both
graduated
In conclusion | can but say now to
the Republicans of Nevada, among|
whom / grew to manhood. who
know my every thought. action and
deed, that I fearlessly ask for your
support and your suffrage at the
primaries in the great case of the
People VS.. The Southern Pacific
