ARE DISCUSSED
Plain Truths Told In Forcible WAY to
the Voters of Tonopah at a Rousine
Meeting Last Evening.

One of the most interesting dis
courses on political affairs of the
present campaign was heard at the
Miners Exchange hall last evening
when Hon. Hugh H. Brown, of To-
nopah, and Senator Dix A. Smith,
of New York, addressed the voters
of this city. Every seat in the hall
was occupied and standing room
was at premium. Many, who
could not gain entrance, were forced
to remain in the hall and on the
stairway, and throughout the talks,
| the speakers were constantly inter-
rupted by continued outbursts of
applause.
The meeting was opened by an
| address by Judge H. H. Atkinson,
who presided, and after a short ad-
| dress he introduced Senator Smith,
who in clear and forcible speech
| devoted his time to campaign af-
| fairs, In discussing the state cam
paign, and in particular the guber-
material situation, the speaker said:
Il number among my friends
many democrats. Among them is
| Governor D., S. Dickerson. For. him
entertain the highest possible re-
spect and / believe that he has
given Nevada the best administra-
tion of which he is capable. l sub
NIT, however, that the governor of
Nevada should be a man of sterner
stuff, man known for his integ-
rity, his clean personal life and for
a knowledge of the needs of the
state. He should be tall mana
man with his head above the
clouds, man with a heart of gold
and a man you could point to with
pride and say, That is our COVER
nor.'
II ask you, does Governor Dick
erson measure up to that standard?
You voters of Tonopah are person
ally acquainted with T. l.. Oddie,
and can best answer that question.
Each and every one Of you are in
| lterested in his campaign; you have
an intimate acquaintance with him;
and l believe your primary cam
paign slogan, AS Tonopah goes, so
goes the state" will bear fruit at
the election on the Sth day of No
vember.
Il am republican and have al
ways been an advocate of cleanli-
ness and fair dealing in political
activity. For fifty years, with the
exception of one interval of inter-
ruption, the affairs of the country
have been administered by the re.
publican party. Do you remember
the years of the Cleveland admin
istration? Do you remember the
awful years of 1903 and those fol.
lowing? Do you remember how
labor went in rags, wives and child.
ren went hungry, and nowhere in
the country was there prosperity?
II ask you, my friends, do you
want them again? Many have ad.
vocated that such conditions car
never return, but every fair minded
voter, believe, will agree with me
when l say that another democratic
national administration can easily
produce retardment of this ma
ton. The election of a democratic
senator and congressman from Ne
vada will aid in bringing about sucf
conditions as existed during the ad
ministrataion of Cleveland. If you
are not in favor of those conditions
: send republicans, men whom you
know will help republican presi
dent to follow out republican poll
cies and see that prosperity con
tinues."
After outlining the many progres
sive legislations of the republican
party, the speaker charged positive

been constant enemy of three o.
! the most important pieces of legis
lation ever accomplished-extensior
of the postal service. increase o.
, the navy and the providing of prop
er pensions for old soldiers and pro
vision for their widows.
Senator Smith then pointed ou
the future of Nevada under the con
tinuation of republican policies b.
