INSURGENT DEMO-
Gratis OF ELY

The lnsurgent democrats of Ely
are a live bunch. They have been
chatting in the collar for years past,
and have at last left the demo ratio
reservation and are now on the
war path, and they are sure out
for scalps. 1t was at their
request that Frank K. Nicholas,
democratic candidate for governor,
returned to Ely this week to perfect
an organization in the stronghold
of the democratic machine. Mr..
Nicholas arrived Tuesday night,
but this important fact has not as
yet been chronicled by the EX-
positor and probably will not be,
as it is dcvoting its columns almost
exclusively to booming insurgent
republican candidates. But Mr..
Nicholas is here, and it is his second
trip to ElY within two weeks, and
he is in close touch with many
prominent democratic leaders. who
have assured him that the vote he
will receive here will be a surprise
to the machine politicians, who
through their press are attempting
to whip all insurgents into line.
Mr.. Nicholas is absolutely con-
fdcnt of the nomination and states
that he will carry the western and
southern portion Of the state by a
majority of ten to six.-Rccord.

GIRLS KILL RATHER

Two Winnemucca girls who
are not afraid of rattlesnakcs are
Miss Catherine Miller and Miss
Ruth Stewart. While the young
ladies were horseback riding along
the foothills of Winnmucca mount
ain they spied large RATHER coiled
in the path ahead of their horses.
Although the animals pranced and
the reptile kept up a continuous
rattling, nevertheless the girls
jumped off their horses and by
throwing rocks quickly killed the
snake. To show their friends what
they had done they removed the
skin from the RATHER and brought
it to town. The snake was of the
diamond variety and had four
rattles and a button.-Humboldt

HEALTHOGRAMS

Progressive health officials arc
giving their attention largely to
the education of public sentiment
so as to prevent sickness; the sort
of relief that merely offers to cure
people after it has appeared is now
considered out of date. DR..
William A. Evans, according to a
eulogistic article in the World To-
day, has taken a very advanced
stand on this policy and has ben
instrumental in making Chicago
the healthiest great city in the
world. Here are some of hi,
rules of health and sanitation-if
every one would stick them in the
corner of the mirror and follow
them religiously it would be a bad
thing for the doctors.
Closed windows are open avenues
to consumption.
Strong drink makes weak men.
Your lungs can't be washed. but
they can be aired.
Filth for flies and flies for fever.
When you don't know what TO
eat-eat nothing.
Dry busting moves dust: it doesn't
remove it.
One fly swattcd in May is equal
to a million swats in July.
So-callcd chest protectors arc
targets for colds and coughs.
Breathe freely and fully; the
more you expand your chest the
less you will contract colds.

ballot5 opens wide the door for
bribery and corruption at the
election. If a candidate or set of
candidates wish to corrupt voters
all he or they have to do is to in
struct the purchased voter to write
in the name of John Doe, or Richard
Roe for some particular office and
then check them off as the ballots
are counted. In this way. the pur-
chaser can tell whether the goods
have been delivered.
The decision was written by
Chief Justice Norcross and concur
red in by Justice Sweeney. Justice
Talbot filed a separate concurring
decision in which he held that the
writing of names on ballots might
make it possible to indemnity them
and the law should be amended in
this particular.
The Carson News in commenting
on the decision says:
The decision of the court was
the sole topic of conversation last
evening, and considerable doubt
was evident as to its meaning.
There was also no little surprise
manifest when the boundless op-
portunities for freebooting voting
were explained AS the law now
stands, under the Interpretation OF
the court, there is nothing to pre-
vent a voter from writing the name
of any elector in the blank space
under each party designation.
And in this lies a little joker. For
likewise, there is nothing to pre-
vent a democratic voter. who calls
for a democratic ballot, ignoring
the printed name of a candidate for
any Office on his ballot and substi-
tuting therefore the name of a
candidate on the republican or
socialist ballot.
This opening will doubtless lead
to several frame-ups and from this
time on a feverish campaign may be
looked for. republican candidate
need not confne his campaign with
in the line of his own party, but
may go into the field and seek the
support of voters of all parties. 1t
follows that a democratic candidate
with opposition may do the same
thing, and the primary campaign
is turned into a battle royal.

throughout. County Clerk Patter-
son was selected as the quasi de-

long a tale to tell here.
Compared to Mr.. Aldrich mere
bribers of legislatures, like Lori

very harmful. But Senator Aid
