A WORD TO DEMOCRATS

The activity of certain saloon
men in town in the interest of
Governor Dickerson goes a long
way to convince us of the truth of
the charge that he has made an
alliance with the elements that dc
not make for the welfare and hap
piness of the people of Nevada.
His campaign here, so far as We
can see, is being managed by re-
representatives. of the saloon and il.
allied interests.
While we have nothing to say
against the men who are fighting
for Dickerson and freely grant
them the same right of opinion as
we claim for ourself, yet we be-
lieve the success of the element
they represent will be q long steI
backward in the progress of this
state toward a higher and better
citizenship and a happier people.
This is a matter that shout
deeply conern the solid. substin, a
democratic voters of the county. Ii
they believe in a higher and better
CT citizenship and oppose the domino
tion of the saloon and its allied IL
terests in the politics of the state

over before casting your ballot

for Elko county Republicans to bear in

of politics, and so be more likely than a
southern republican to win in Novem-
