Amt you getting tired of the
political dope dished up by the
Reno Gazette ana the Reno
Journal? Each has placed halo
several feet in circumference
around the heads of their candi-
dates and convict garbs on their
opponents. Such strff as they
dish up is nauseating to the
average citizen.
George w. Mapes and C. T.
Bender. two OF the directors Of
Rickey's defunct Carson bank,
have offered to pay $4,000 each
to Receiver Wildes if they be
relieved from further litigation.
The offer was made in open court
by Judge Massey, tHeir attorney.
Judge Langan took the matter
under advisement.
, A week from today the politicians
and candidates will know where
they are at. Some will be happy
and some will be sad. Some will
, be whetting their knives for two
years hence and some will be
laying their hatchets away. Candi-
dates are only common citizens
with an attack of officeitis and but
little attention should be paid to
them when the disease is at its
height. They'll all recover after
election and be themselves again.
Isn't it strange that such great
men as R. E. Skaggs can live in
such small community as Elko
and their greatness never be
discovered. Such child.like in
nocence and such greatness of
moral character and such ability,
all combined under Bob's hat anc
his neighb0rs. not recognizing or
approaching the great combina
tion. IL is. to weep when one
thinks of it. He must have for
gotten all these beautiful traits
when he denounced Governor
Sparks as a drunkard and left the
speakers chair to dodge a vote
when the police bill was under
consideration in the assembly.
Bob, like great many others.
imagines he has great ability and
sterling character, but those
who know him bes honor him the
least. He must keep his ability
and character under bushel.
