the state will see to it that not only shalt Dickerson be elected, but
general shall be chosen with him to name an honest and Independent
state railroad commissions body which the Southern racine hopes
to control fl can elect its Republican candidates for governor heu
nant-governor and attorney general. 1t is certain that the mining
companies operating in that state and having the interests OF the mn
ing industry at heart will support the Dckerson state ticket.
They will also support the Dickerson candidate for United states
senator-Key Pittman, who aspires to succeed the present nonenuty
from Nevada, George s. Nixon. The fight in that case is similar ITO tne
one against Dckerson, inasmuch as it is the Southern racine hat mosl
ardently desires the retention of Nixon at Washington 1t has good
reason for this, for Nixon has been a faithful vassal OF the railroads
whenever his vote has been needed in their interest during the five
years and more in which he has misrepresented Nevada at Washhng-
ton. And Nixon is lined up with the Southern Pacific in its efforts to
defeat Dickerson this fall.
Since the retirement of Stewart in 1905, the mining interests OF
Nevada have been unrepresented at Washington, and the mining IN
terests of the country have suffered greatly thereby. Even Stewart
was not a faithful servant, having for many years served the corpora
tons rather than the people. But he knew a great deal about mining
and took an interest in that subject. and he was therefore a better SER
ing to accomplish some good for his state and country, has seemingly
been content to be merely an errandboy for Aldrich and "a vassal fol
the railroads.
Key Pittman, although "a lawyer by profession, is a brilliant man
who has almost from boyhood been interested in mines and mining
and who, if elected to the senate, would make his presence felt in the
domain of mining legislation. And most certainly he would never
permit his name to become identified with anything Ike the disgrace

posed several months ago.
Nevada W christened many years ago the Rotten Borough
because of the character of the men she sent to Washington. 1t was
hard name and one Ito which she was n more entitled than were man!
other states of less integrity, but with more ability for hypocricy. II
no other way can she better redeem herself this fall than by eiectin'
lPittman, Diekerson, and the entire Democratic state ticket.

No Cause for Alarm

He reaction of the past few. days in the prices of mining stocks
should in no way cause alarm. The Goldfeld issues all along
the line some four weeks ago took an advance of from q to
more than 200 per cent, and held steadily at that figure for two or
three weeks. The markets are governed by an invariable rule that a
rise in stocks is always followed by a decline. If the market is truly
a rising one, the rises are more marked than the declines. The rise will
be sharp, and there will be a lengthy and steady decline, but not back
to the point whence the rise originally started. Then there will be
figured at an average constantly gaining in strength.
1t must be remembered that speculation more than an idea of
holding stocks for permanent investment, is back of these market
fluctuations. Certain interests sell stocks when the market is high,
and buy enough stock to fill these sales when the price drops back
Others buy when the market is low and aim to play this stock back
into the market when the rise is at what they believe to be its high
each other.
AT the present time it is very evident tina. there is a strong sell
ing movement on by the bear interests, who hope to force the
stock down to where they can recover. There is also reason to be
lieve that the other interests are letting the bears have thir way with
the market and have withdrawn support, in order that the bears may
oversel, and when these interests that are quietly buying call for
actual deliveries of stock they will be unable to recover. It is when
the shorts" must deliver stock no matter what the price is, that the
price takes those phenomenal jumps such as was experienced some
thing like a month ago. Indications are that Just such another squirt
is coming within a few days now.

matter which political party lost, the machine won
1t is very illustrative of the strength of the machine which has
adopted the Republican party-the 'stand- pat element of it-as its
organ, that insofar as the Republican party is concerned it has made
ly ne contest for stand pat" Republican nominations. and that the
rank and file of the Republicans of Nevada who have long wished tn

surgent Republican candidates is the only fly in the Republican ONT.
ment. That fly is growing and soon there won't be anything but the
fly. The ointment will all be gone.
The 'insurgent" Republicans, like the Democrats, welcomed the
direct primary, and + making no effort to minimize OF evade its
provisions or intentions. Freedom from machine domination is the
rption, from the open purchase of legislative and administrative
functions of the state and local government is what the Democrats
and the .insurgent' Republicans alike are fighting for.
Mr.. Voter, be you Republican, be you Democrat, be you Socialist
Prohibition or absolutely Independent as to political creed and belief,
do not forget that the primary election is for the purpose of enabling
you to express your wish as to the man you desire to be your servant

portant nominations, it is a a rule because the machine has used con.
vention methods to put its man in the field and convention methods to
keep other men out of the field. And do not forget that the Republ-
can stand pat" machine has it's men in the field for Democratic
nominations a S well. Think you well and deeply before you cast your
ballot when the day of the primaries arrives, and then vote for a man
who will represent not only the independence of the state, but the
independence of yourself.

Politics Getting Very Warm

u 18TH a live, husky Lincoln Roosevelt league formed in Nevada
w by the progressive Republicans and their candidates in the
y field already telling unpleasant truths about the machine
ing similar truths about the dominance of the machine in Nevada,
things IRE getting warm in politics. Reports from the northern part
OF the state are to the effect that Dickerson, Sprague, Pitman and
Sullivan are, making a whirlwind canvas through that part of the
state, the meetings large and enthusiastic, and the Democrats steadily
gaining strength. AT the same time Oddie and Springmeyer are
steadily gaining and this strength is coming from-the ranks Of the
stand-pat' Republicans.
The Nixon machine is working as i never worked before. Hired
rooters for the Republican candidates for nominations n in the
field in every part of the state, and there is no small number of paid
workers for the machine who are boosting the candidates. of the so
lchlne Democratic candidates. These men r. working among the
members of the Western Federation of Labor, in particular, trying 10
STIR up opposition to Dickerson, Sprague and Pittman, and will doHDt
less gain a certain following. The men thus sent out are usually men
OF some little education, and who know how to appeal to a certain
class OF the laboring men who read but little and are easily influenced
In behalf of Nevada, however, it may be said that there is a very
small class OF unthinklng laboring men, the majority of them keeping
well posted ON the larger events of the day, and knowing pretty wen
who is who in the state, and who is really behind the most of the can

They Ought to Know.

The wage eatners Of this country
know which political party is and
always has been standing pat for
them. When the Republican party
is in power there is work at high
wages, and even if food and other
things cost a little more they then
have the labor and wages to buy
the goods, while when the Demo-
cratic party was in power there was
no work for about five million
workers, and those who got work
had to accept greatly reduced wages,
and in all the large cities it was the
soup house for free feed at municipal
expense. How many wage earpers
would like to have the good old
days of Grover Cleveland come
back?-Pueblo Sunday Opinion in
American Economist.

The Majority Should Ride.

We believe In that rule. The
Republican party has had its little
family scrap in which things grew a
little warm at times. Some things
were said in heat of conflict that
should not have been said, but
they have no meaning now the
contest is over.
1t is now the duty and we trust it
will be the pleasure of every
Republican who believes in the
principles of Repubioism to line up
for the ticket regardless of whether
he got the particular man he wanted
or not. The ticket is a
good one and the majority that
cared to express themselves named
it. There is no reason why the
ticket, beth state and county, will
not he elected this fall and no valid
reason why it should not be.

Only by Republican Betrayal,

The Democrats can only profit by
Republican betrayal of the Republi.
cab cause. They have no other
hope on earth than that which they
gain through hope for treason in
the Republican camp. How can a
Democlat go cut and persuade a
farmer to vote the Democratic ticket
when the farmer knows that during
the last Demecratic administration
a IS o-pound hog could be exchanged
for only I5o pounds of granglaied
sugar, whereas a hog of the same
weight to-day will bring 500 pounds
of the same kind of sugar. And the
same comparison can be made with
calico and woolen goods and every
thing farmer has to buy. Fifteen
years age 1t took no bushels of
"heat 10 Set Iarm wagon today,
62 bushels, or one load of wheat,
will pay for wagon. Fifteen years
ago the banks controlled the farmers;
to-day the farmers control the banks,
and these changes have come to
pass under the reign of the Republi.
can party. 1t seems, to US the only
question is whether we can keep our
heads and avoid being made dizzy
by the force and power of the
progress being made.-St. Mary's
w. Va. Leader in American Econo-
mist,

Does the Work.

When the Payne tariff law was
passed this country was running in
debt all the time, until It had grown
deficiency of $50, 900. The
Republican law makers realized that
something must be done.
They did net advocate issuing
bonds to meet the deficiency as was
done under a former administration,
but rearranged the tariff schedules
in such a manner that while they
protected American industries and
American labor they also increased
the governments income from the
tariff.
One year under the new law mas
elapsed and the $50, 900, 900 in
debtedness has been wiped out and
quite a surplus placed in the
treasury.
Soms of the schedules of this
tariff may be higher than necessary
and some of them seem to be lower
than they should be, but, all told,
it is likely to prove out pretty
good law. At least it will produce
revenue commensurate with the
growing demands of the COVE. n
ment and it has more articles on
the free list than any other tariff
law we have ever had. Let's give
il chance to prove itself.

New York Mayor Shot.

Mayor Gaynor had boarded a
ship to take Short vacation in the
old world. The ship was just ready
to sail. A few of his friends we're
arouad him saying last farewell.
when a man approached from the
rear and shot him, just back of the
ear with a az caliber revolver.
Ths mayor, though very seriously
wounded, did not fall but supported
himself on the snip's rail till chair
was brought.
His enemy was Immediately seized
and, after a struggle, disarmed aRd
handcuffed. The mayor is seriously
wounded but not necessarily fatally.
The man who did the shooting was
formerly a city employee but had
been removed fer incempetency or
some other cause and thus sought
to revenge himself on the mayor.
1t is to be hoped the mayor will
Recover as he is a prominent man
and devoted to the best interests of
the city and country at large.

Oklahoma Hits the Negro.

In adopting the grandfather cause
amendm ent to its constitution Okla
hema has justified the hopes OF It's
enemies. It. shows that it is South
ern and not a Western state.
Prefcrring an affiliati0n with VIZ
ginia, the two Carolinas, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
to association with Missouri, Kan
sas. Colorado and the Western
states, it has decided to exclude the
negro. as a negro, from the ballot
box. This is a fitting climax to
Haskellism and the train of lunacies
and crankeries which it has pre-.
eipltated upon that state.
Oklahoma has even smaller
provocation for its antl-negro
legislation than have the other
Southern states which have adopted
it. The black man forms oAly a
small fragment of its population.
Relatively to the white, he is de-
crsasing rapidly In numbers. The
widest leatherhead among Haskell's
followers knows that there never
was a possibility of negro DONNA
tien In Oklahoma. BY trick which
counted for the amendment every
ballot which did not mention
specifically that it was against Il,
that stipulation had all easy task in
getting through. Only small
preportion of the voters thought of
tae anti-negro proposition, ana
therefore failed to vote against it.
The purpose of the Republican
8 ate Committee to attack the
grandfather clause in the federal
courts is cemmendable. 1t is the
course which Democrats as well as
Republicans ought to favor. Com
Ing in conflict, as 1t does, with the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the United States constitu-
ton, the cause of justice demands
that the federal courts should pass
upon it. This is a desperate
expedisnt of the Democratic poll
ticians to enable them to retain
control of the state. No fair minded
person objects to any educational
or any other kind of qualification
which would bear en- all races alike,
but the Mississippi Louisiana dis
honesty applies to the negro alone,
and was SO intended. 1t violates
the principle of the square deal, and
ought to be as Objectionable TO
decent Democrats as it is to Re-
publlcans. If the two latest amend
ments to the federal charter mean
anything this is an excellent time
for them to say so. The Republican
State Committee should bring the
matter before the courts at the
earliest practicable moment and
push it with yigor- Some way
ought to be devised to facilitate its
transfer to the Supreme Court, SO
that the country can know by 1912
whether the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the faderal cOnstitu
ton are enforcible. - St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
