In view of the fact that our people
have been mised and annoyed by TN
official deductions and statements EN-
anating from your office, / deem it my
duty to further submit TO you some
observations which | will thank you
to publish in the interests of clearness.
toward this Office: toward the people
ot Maine, who have a right TO facts
and toward your magnificent news
gathering association in which / have
the honor 10 hold membership At the
outset, there are a few things which
should be made clear
This Office is not a returning board.
in SO far as the ballots are concerned.
it's duty is to receive and tabulate
carefully the results of elections as
shown by signed statements of such
results, made by clerks of cities. towns
and plantations. Such tabulation Is
a public record of this office, open to
YOU or to any one who cares to exam
inc ii.
This Office is purely a clerical office.
It does not declare results in any Of
fetal capaeity-that being the sole
prerogative of the Governor and
Council.

returns are based, this Office and the

facts so obtained, this office would
have no cause for complaint. You

so far as this ballot is concerned-for

dispatch of Yesterday:

This Is not true according to re-
turns AMI you are aware of it from
To make it appear so you have COM
bined statements from others with
our records,
Maine may or may not remain in
the prohibition column. The exanina-
ton of ballots and the corrections of
clerks returns will undoubtedly
determine that. Your duty is
done when you report the facts
from clerks signed returns. Ours is
done when we tabulate and lay before
the public such signed returns.
Had you taken this course and
eliminated extraneous and irrelevant
stuff you would have save our people

THANKSGIVING A

Another year has rolled around and
Thursday will be another Thanksgiv
ing day. While the people of the coun-
try have much to be thankful for
citizens of Nevada have been p~articu-
larly blessed during the past year. We
have been free from epidemic, disease
and poverty; the output of our mines
has materially increased and our limit
ed acreage under cultivation has pro-
duced abundant crops.
While all legal holidays are general
ly observed bv our people, foreign or
native-born, it is probable that
Thanksgiving is the great distinctive
ly American holiday. 1t differs from
the Fourth of July in that, while the
latter is given over entirely to patri-
otto demonstrations, Thanksgiving day
takes on more of a religious aspect and
is given over to family reunions. The
holiday has been handed down to us
from our Pilgrim ~forefathers and will
always be n of the three great holt
days observed by the American people,
the other two being Christmas and In
dependence day.
