HEAVY SOCIALISTIC VOTE
IN LOS ANGELES PRIMARY

In the municipal primary held last
Tuesday in the city of Los Angelo ;,
job Hartman, the Socialist eandidat ,
received a plurality over the reform
and other candidates of more than B.
600 votes, the strength of the SO .i.A-
lists proving a tremendous surpris, to
everybody.
Hartman s vote was 1883; that {
Alexander, the present mayor and
candidate of the reform party, 1928,
and Mushet IS, candidate of the "wide
open' element. 5000. The Soeialistic
vote amazed even those who voted that
ticket
Hartman. who is one of the attor.
neys for the Mcnamara brothers, and
Alexander will be the mayorality can
didates at the municipal election which
has been set for December 5th. Not
withstanding his great showing in the
primary his selection is q matter of
great uncertainty, because of the fact
that the newly enfranchised women
voters will take part in this campaign
and it is impossible to foretell just
what their action will be. They have
enough votes to upset the present stu-
ation and can elect either Hartman or
Alexander, they undoubtedly holding
the balance of power. Hartman claims
that he is sure of the support of the
great majority of the women, but al
ready woman 8 league is being or
ganized by the supporters of Mayor
Alexander.

Mission Carrier "The Test of
Love- 1.-The Chest" and the feature
film, .CverlanG to Fremont This
latter is film descriptive of early
frontier life near Mt. Shasta. A strong
love story runs through the entire play
portrayed and shows the intense love
of an Indian guide for the United
Stats colonel daughter. For excit-
ing incidents and hair-breadth es
capes, intermingled with a pretty love
story, it would he hard to produce a
better film.
In addition to pictures there will be
new illustrated song by Mrs. Sey.
bold, and excellent music by Mr..
Peterson, the pianist recently engaged
by the Nixon opera house management.
Mr.. Peterson has already made an ex-

s. P. Will SELL
ELkO co. LANDS

The Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany, who own 1,319,594 acres of pat
ented lands in Elko county, are MAX
ing preparations to throw open for set
tlement this immense tract of land.
G. E. Wantland, the general sales
agent for the Southern Pacific lands,
was in Elko Saturday, and in an inter
view with the Elko Free Press stated
that they had already placed on the
market $4,000 acres north of Wells and
that 81 900 acres in and around Deeth
would shortly be open for sale. IN
men in the field looking over the land,
possibly by next spring the entire
lands would be ready for sale
This will be welcome news to many
of our readers, as in certain parts of
the county there are railroad lands,
adjoining the property owned by pri-
vate individuals, who will be glad of
the opportunity to add small tracts TO
their holdings, which is of more value
to them, owing to the fact that the
railroad lands can be cultivated and
used as additional pasturage by simply
putting up fence on two sides only.
Then there are thousands upon thou
sands of acres that will make ideal
dry farms, and in the majority of
places water can be secured by put
ting down wells few feet. There can
be no doubt but in the near future
Elko county will be thickly dotted over
with farms, lands that are now consid-
cred as almost worthless, will yield
good crops through the dry farming
methods.

AMERICANS OUGHT
TO VISIT EUROPE

United States Senator George s.
Nixon, who has just returned from
trip abroad, is quoted as follows in
the Reno Gazette about his observa-
tions during his two months sojourn
in Great Britain and France
~ wish that every American could
go abroad. I wish he could travel
through the countries of Europe and
note the conditions there. the squalor
and misery, the pinched face of suffer
ing, the lack of incentive, the diseon-
tent / think it would be liberal
education, not only in the way it is
generally intended to be, but also in
that it would bring about a deeper rev
erance for this country of ours. a richh-
er continent.
"You can see more squalor in a short
walk in Paris or London than you can
find in the whole United States. In
the former city starving people mob
the bread and milk wagons, and in
London you can't walk ten feet with
out bing accosted by a beggar.
'We have not solved all our prob
lens over here by any means, but we
have Travelled a long distance in the
short period Of time that we have been
nation. Over there they have rich
heritage of art and literature, and their
roads are so superior to ours that com
parison would be impossible those
are products Of ages. In the science
Of government and in all the paths of
industry our country stands alone.
Concerning the political situation
Senator Nixon expressed himself as
follows:
"There is no doubt that Taft will
be the Republican nominee next year.
He undoubtedly is stadily gaining
in strngth, despite the thoroughly or
gsi ized campaign to discredit him be-
fore the people Wilson seems to be
the first choice Of the Democrats, al
though there is stronger ground
swell than most people realize
setting toward Bryan. Harmon is the
choice of the conservative wing of the
Democracy.
81 haven't been back long enough
to be able to comment upon local con-
ditions. but / win say that it seems as
if Nevada had put the worst of it be-
hind her, and that next year We should
have better times than we have had
for som time.'

ACTIVITY IN OLD SACRAMENTO
MINING DISTRICT

"Unless all signs fail there is going
to be a period of tremendous activity
in the old Sacramento mining district
in Humboldt county in the near flu
ture, said a prominent mining man
TO the Gazette recently. "The particu-
lar properties upon which the showing
is so good as to Justify a prediction of
this sort are in what is commonly
known as Limerick canyon, and con
sist of the Plain View and Limerick
groups, constituting about fifteen
claims. Sveral Reno people are iden
titled with the proposition and have
quietly been securing all neeessar
titles, preliminary to the organi2at'o
Of big company which will ope~at'
on those claims and also take in other
necessary property. such as water
rights and the like.
" Development work is steadily be
il q pushed forward, and some of the
finest ore to be seen in the state is be-
ing taken out for shipment. Several
mining engineers have been on he
ground and pronounce the formation
one Of the most promising in the st tie.
Samples taken from big oree bodies
run over $40 steadily, and there is a
lot Of highgrade in addition to this
which viii astonish people when the re-
tuuns from it are received. 1t was from
this old district that millions of dol
lars were taken out years ago.

BACKBONE OF
STRIKE BROKEN

While the Sparks machine shops of
the Southern Pacific are not employ
ing as many men as in the times of
congested traffic, they are now work
ing about as many men as they did af-
tel the REDUCTION order calne two
months prior to the strike, according
to statement made by an official Of
the road says the Reno Gazette.
There are enough men now at WORK
to supply the demand, although the
traffic is heavy, owing to the move
n'cnt It eeciduous fruits from Che
west and the tourist travel from the
east.
No delays, according to Southern
Pacific sources of information, are due
to trains owing to poor equipment o1
f@ilure of the new employees to per
form their duties with speed and eff
cheney.
The strikers have shown no inclina-
ton to do any damage to property,
nor do they even jibe the strikers.
Those who remain have settled down
for a wait, but many of them have
gone to other places to seek employ
ment. Owing to the places of the
strikers having been filed, the payr,'i
this month will approximate what it
was previous to the labor trouble.

UNR|PF fruit
NOT POISONOUS
(spec;ei to the. Silver state.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-There is a
lot of nonsense being printed about
the poisonous qualities of unripe fruit.
Anyone who can remember back TO hls
youthful consumption of green apples,
knows that there was seldom a collie
in it, but warfare among rival fruit
men has led to lot of ssloose talk -
on the subject. It's foolish to eat
green fruit, but hardly poisonous. I"
Furit is making quite bit of noise
in the news columns of late. Even the
highest courts are getting tangled up
with fruit rates, and things, while the
tariff remains real problem to the
farmer and fruit growers.
The decision of the commerce court
that the railroads may continue to
charge $1.15 per hundred pounds on
oranges from California to the east,
although the interstate commerce
commission said that 81 was enough,
led the Fruitman' Guide to say edi-
torially:
"Californa IS and Florida's very
logical question nowadays is. 'Were
the railroad rates made for man or
was man made for the railroad
rates?''
The same publication remarks:
eve quote from a speech of Pres
ident Taft on the lemon tariff deliver
ed at Pomona, California: I'VE have a
rule in the Republican party that If
there is a difference between the cost
of production here and the cost of pro-
duction abroad you are entitled to a
tariff that will equal the difference, SO
as to give you an opportunity for a
living fight with the competition from
abroad under cheaper conditions.
Which, in view of the action of the
commerce court seems to arouse the ire
of the Fruitman's Guide, itself be-
lever in consistency; for it CON-
ments thus:
every beautiful talkee -talkee. But
if the railroads which have prospered
so greatly under a Republican admin
istration manage to absorb, thanks to
the Republican commerce court, that
difference in increased rates, that srule
in the Republican party becomes the
merest fgment of an irideseent
dream'
Far be it from us to criticise the
higher powers. when they are engaged
in doing that to each other. The inter
state commerce commission win take
crack at the commerce court Novem
Der Is, when it will reopen the lemon
rate case. Until then further comment
by laymen is superfluous.

TRAINER CASE
SET FOR NOV. Is

J. Frank TRAINER, who is at present
serving life sentence for the killing
of Jean Quilici at INLAY last January,
was brought before Judge Ducker in
the District Court yesterday morning,
for the purpose of having date set
for trial on the charge of having mur-
dered Mrs. Quilici This action was
taken by the local prosecuting au-
thorities in accordance with the recon-
mendation of the grand jury at its re-
cent session.
When arraigned before the Judge, he
was asked the usual question if he had
counsel. He answered in the negative
and requested the Court to assign
counsel for his defense. Judge Ducker
accordingly appointed Lawyers M. S.
Bonnifield and T. A. Brandon to repre-
sent the prisoner.
The indictment under which Tram
ner is to be tried again is joint one
against him and Nimrod Uric, who, it
will be remembered was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged and whose case
is now on appeal. Therefore District
Attorney Callahan moved the court
that Tramner be tried separately. This
was granted by Judge Ducker, who
then set November 25th as the date
the trial.
Messrs. Bonnifield & Brandon, Tram
ner's attorneys, are today preparing
papers for an application to Judge
Crcker for change of venue to some
other county. The motion will be
made tomorrow morning and there is
little doubt of its being granted. They
will ask to have the trial sent to Elko
or Washoe county, with the chances
favoring the former.

TO BE INCREASED

Ing Saii loi IHe hcPuDIiCdu HdeloHdi
convention, to be issued by the ma
tional committee December IL, will
provide for 1,064 delegates, to be in
creased to 1,072 if Arizona and New
Mexico become states before the con-
vention is held.
The increase from $50 delegates,
which comprised the Chicago conven-
tion in 1908, is the result of reappor-
tionment by congress which increases
the size of the house of representatives
from 391 to ABB members, or 435 with
the two new states.
A table showing the apportionment
of the delegates to the 1912 conven-
tion has been prepared by Fra. 's
Curtis, in charge of the combined pub
licity headquarters of the Republican
national committee and the Republi-
can congressional committee. This ar
rangement is expected to be adopted
without change by the committee.
The distribution follows: Alabama,
"a; Arkansas, 1S; California, 90; Colo
RADIO, 12; Connecticut, IA; Delaware, 6;
Florida, IL; Georgia, %; Idaho, s.; H.
linois, 5s; Indiana, 30; Iowa, 26; Kan

Territories 1.-TWO each); Alaska, Ari

Basis of Apportionment.
The basis of delegates for the Re
publican convention is: Four at large
in each state, two for each congress
sional district. The large gains in the
state delegations will be: New York
10; Pennsylvania, 8; Oklahoma and
California, 6 each; Illinois, Massachu
setts, New Jersey, Texas, Washington
each.
Other states will either gain two
each or retain the apportionment OF
the 1908 convention.
The basis used by the national com
mittee in determining delegates to the
national convention was attacked in 8
recent statement by Senator Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., president of the Nationa
Progressive Republican league. Tht
progressive organization demands thai
delegates be apportioned on the basis
of Republican votes in the states; mo-
on the basis of congressional districts
Such plan would greatly reduce th'
number of delegates from southern
states, where the Republican vote il
small. Using the 7,677,479 votes cas-
for President Taft as a basis and /,
$50 as the number of delegates in th'
1912 convention, the progressive League
estimates that there should be a dele
gate to the convention for each $3.50!
Republican votes. That would reduc
i Alabama to delegates; Mississippi t,
5; South Carolina to 4, and other scnth
ern states proportionately, and woul'
increase New York to 102; Pennsyl
vania to SS; Illinois to 70, and Obi
to 50.
