He favored q penitentiary sentence
for all violators Of the antitrust
law. A simple amendment of ten
lines to the present Law would place
all violators Of that law in the pen.
Mr.. Massey received the close
attention Of the audience and was
frequently applauded. No one,
however, could tell from his speech
whether he was a supporter of
Roosevelt or Taft. Not word es-
capped his lips as to his stand on the
presidential fight. Is he q bull
mooser or is he staddpatter:
The people of Nevada have right
to know whether Senator Massey
trains with Lodge, Crane, Penrose
and Gallinger, the high prieets OF
standpatism, or whether he stands
for the principles Of LaFollette,
Bristow, Borah, Cummins and
Crawford
There are several points OF
Senator Massy's speech that will
receive notice hereafter. At the
close of mis- speech he was given 8
round applause. The meeting
closed with three cheers for
Senator Massey, but none for the
republican party. -

Her Hair Saved Her.

When the steamer Tagus rose after

she was on her way from Bermuda to
New York, a bride, the only bride ON
board, was floating about the deck
like a biscuit.
The water was three feet deep and
she might have been swept from tho
deck had not M. Kreishler, a New
Yorker, grabbed her by the hair and
saved her. So frightened was the
young woman that she was carried to
her stateroom In Mysteries, and for
i've hours she could not be convinced
that the ship was not sinking.

large procession carrying red fire
torches and two transparencies
paraded the streets. Nearly every
republican in town and the sur
rounding VALVES were III the pro-
cession, but the democrats on the
street greatly outnumbered the
marching yailroad and Massey
clubs. Taken all in all it was a
very creditable turnout. The most
amusing feature was a young goat
led by Marshall Reed. The goat
wore blanket, labeled "Pittman's
Goat" Unless the supporters of
Senator Massey turn out stronger
on the 9Th of November than they
did last night, Marshall will have
to change the legend on the goats

celebrate their great victory at the
polls, that goat will be Massey's

Judge Taber presided and on
the platform with him we're several
prominent republicans. When
Senator Massey appeared, he was
greeted with hearty applause.
Judge Taber in presenting Senator
Massey spoke of his life in Elko,
his ability as a lawyer and his
worth as citizen.
Senator Massey was greeted
with q wave of applause as he
stepped to the front of the stage.
He began by thanking the people
of Elko for their interest in him.
He then dicusssed the high cost of
living and claimed it was not due
to the tariff. He claimed that
farmers and laborers would be
ruined ii the democratic plan for
reducing the cost of living was
put in force. He rung the
changes on the old chestnut that
the tariff benfited the laborers by
giving them higher wages than the
laborers of foreign countries. He
evidently forgot the conditions in
the large, high protected manu-
facpring plants of the east, where
men and children are working
long hours for barely enough to
keep soul and body together.
Senator Massey would have to talk
long time TO the employees of the
WOODEN trust al Lawrence, Msssa-
chusttes, and of the steel trust at
Pittsburg to convince them that
the outrageous duties of our
tariff law put money into their
pockets. That old gag won't work
any more.
He justified Ills vote on the tariff
bills by the plea if the democratic
measures had become laws at the
last session of congress the in
dustries of the country would be
destroyed. If the wooden schedule
had been passed over the prcsi-
dents veto, the sheep industry of
Nevada would he ruined. That
the democratic bills had been
forced on congress without consid-

Gashed His Throat.

A man leaning against a pillar of the

afternoon, attracted the attention of AL
bert Keaser, Jr., son of Al Keaser of the
First district auto. The man was In the
shadows of the structure at the time and
at first young Mr.. Keaser thought he was

Keaser saw blood dripping from his throat
at which he was viciously hacking with a
penknife.
Keaser acted quickly, selling the would
be suicide by the arm welding the knife
and snatching the blood stained weapon
from his hand. Getting couple of men
passing to hold the baffled intended self
murderer Keaser then phoned to police

Diocesan Convention.


Bishop Scarborough presided over the
one hundred and fortieth annual conven-
tion of the Episcopal Diocese of New
Jersey, which was held In st. Andrews
church, Mount Holly, on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
In his address at the opening of the ses-
sion the bishop referred to the satisfactory
growth of the diocese and the good which
had been accomplished by the establish
ment of new parishes. He was very glad
that the diocese had appointed Rev. R.
Bowden Shepherd as archdeacon, as he
needed such assistance during his declin-
ing years. The attendance of clergy, lay
delegates and ladies in particular was
matter which he highly appreciated, as
we'll as the interest manifested in the con-
vention- He thought that vestrymen
should have diocesan assistance In the Sc
lection of rectors, as weakness in this re-
spect has been shown.
The reading of reports consumed most
of the session on Tuesday. AS the Penn
sYlvania Diocesan convention and the
meeting of the Princeton Theological
Seminary were in session at that time,
greetings were extended to both gatherings
Two important features developed at
Wednesdays session, one of which gives
women of parishes the right to vote at
congregational meetings for the selection
of vestrymen. This matter had been under
consideration for long time, and the
Bishop urged its adoption. At the close
of the convention he paid a tribute to the
women for their interest in the educational
work and spiritual advancement of the
diocese.
Another new feature was the adoption
of resolution giving the Bishop author
ity to appoint two clergymen and two lay
men, who will act as a committee on
church architecture, to whom must be
submitted for approval all plans for church
erection or alterations to church property
before action can be taken on such work
Edward Fl. Lewis, of Mount Holly, was
continued as treasurer of the diocese, and
