Especial to the Bonanza. }

NINA, New, Sept. 18-The query
of the Goldfield New of "Who is
furnishing the gasoline for Oddie's
trip?" was answered here tonight
when T. l.. Oddie arrived on his
trip over the state in his auto. AL
most every man and woman in town
was on the street to give him a
royal welcome as southern Nevada s
favorite son, when he came into
town, irrespective of party. He
made a short address which was to
the point, and it was met with the
widest of applause.
Upon tn arrival of Mr. Oddie a
committee of citizens waited upon
him and rendered him as mark of
appreciation of the citizenship of
the town, irrespective of partisan
politics, six cases of gasoline, with
instructions to ''hit the wire any
time he began to run shy OF motor

ALL EFFORTS FUTILE
TO DISIODGE PROJECTILE

WASHINGTON, Sept. Efforts
for several weeks to dislodge the
projectiles that remained in a 12-
inch gun, after the fatal premature
explosion at Fort Monroe, July 21,
have resulted in failure and it now
looks as though the removal of the
stubborn projectiles will prove a
difficult problem for the coast ar
tillery.
When the breech block was
blown backward among the men
who were firing the gun on that
fatal July day, the projectil was
hurled eleven feet and nine inches
from the mushroom head of the
breech block. There it has stuck
ever since, as tightly as If were an
integral part of the powerful gun
A new breech block has been fitted
to the gun and attempts made to
discharge the projectile by small
powder charges. These have been

PROFESSOR BRAY
AS A CANDIDATE


District Superintendent of Instruc-
tion John Edwards Bray, of Reno,
announced that he would be can
didate for the office of superintend-
ent of public instruction, which is
now vacant by the death of Orvis
Ring, the sole nominee at the pri-
maries.
Mr.. Bray has been advised that 1t
will be necessary to get up a pc
tition containing numerous signers,
as a candidate by petition, and nc
is preparing to circulate his pc
titions.
So far no one has been substi-
tuted by the Republican state CEN
trail committee for Orvis Ring and
it is thought that perhaps no sub
stitute will be named.
fact This idea is strengthened by
the fact that when the candidacy OF
Professor Ring was discussed be-
fore the primaries, the Democrats
agreed to offer no opposition To
Professor Ring, and this move
ment was largely due to the edu'
Gators of the state, led principally
by Professor Bray and others. Sew
eral Republicans have expressed the
idea that it would be fitting re
turn of courtesies to provide nc
opponent for Professor Bray at the
election.

GRANT CRUMLEY
and LAVENDER LADY
ARE IN EVIDENCE
TONOPAH MAN Is RIGHT AT
HOME IN FAMOUS RENO
DIVORCE COLONY.

There is a little fellow up in
Reno that is going to get into SER
ious troubles one of these days, ac-
cording to the press dispatches re-
ceived here of late. The person
who is courting the disturbance
happens to be j. Grant Crumley,
who is evidently playing the di-
vorcon game to the limit. In an
article appearing in the Reno Ne
vada Weekly, which appears to have
been written by one of the colony"
strong plea is made for additional
men to look after the interests of
the divorce seekers. Mr.. Crumley
is mentioned in paragraph, which
follows:
And please, please don't let
Grant Crumley trip down the street
with the Lavendar dady-but don't
tell me he ever boasted of being
lady tanner. Far be it from such!
I, for one, don't believe he'd ever
have to tell anything that listens
like that. But enough said-he's
the ace''
In another column of the paper
Grant is advised to cheer up, but
the advice stops right there. Just
why he should cheer rb is a matter
of conjecture, but we would recon-
mend that If he is in trouble to let
the matter drop and hasten back to
southern Nevada.

KEY PITTMAN
Issues Statement to
NEVADA VOTERS

Reno, Nevada, Sept. H. 1910.
To the Citizens of the State of Ne
vada:
Apparently some uncertainty and
doubt exist in the minds of many
voters as to the purpose and effect
of that part of the direct primary
law relative to the election of
United States senators.
Being candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket for that honorable
and important ohce and seeking
the suffrage and support of all our
citizens, | feel that it is my duty
to publicly and unequivocally de-
clare my construction and stand on
that part of the law.
The constitution of the United
States prescribes that United States
senators shall be elected by the
state legislatures, and the members
of legislatures cannot be deprived
of this privilege without amending
the constitution. Such an amend
ment will undoubtedly be adopted
in the near future, as two-thirds OF
the states of the Union have en-
dorsed the amendment and request
ed that it be submitted to the
people. Our state legislature has
unanimously declared in favor of
such amendment and all parties
in our state have heretofore in
their platforms demanded that
United States senators be elected
by the direct vote of the people
and have pledged the members of
their respective parties to support
such principle.
While the legislature cannot
be deprived, without such amend
ment, of the power of electing
United States senators, a method
has been provided in the direct pri-
mary law by which the people may
instruct the members of the legis-
lature as to their choice. 1t is
also provided by such law that the
legislative candidates may file with
their nomination papers state.
