10 NEVADA DEMOCRATS

The attention Of democrats Is
called to the following dispatch
received this forenoon:
New York. N. Y. Oct. "a. 1912.
Independent. Elko. Nevada:
The success of Wilson and Mar
shall is assured. Everything in
dicates sweeping victory for the
democratic national ticket. The
prospects are the control of the
lower house of congress by strong
majority. but it is essential that we
should secure a safe majority in
the United States senate in order
that legislation putting in OF era
ton the policies of Governor
Wilson and the democratic party
may be certain of enactment. We
are looking to Nevada for another
democratic United States senator
and hope that you will urge the
10
supporters of Governor Wilson in
Nevada to give their party support
to our dem ocratic candidate for
the senate, honorable Key Pittman.
You will crafty the national demo.
cratic party by sending Mr..
Pittman. the democratic nominee
to the senate.
William F. McComhs,
Chairman Democratic
national committee.
This appeal of the national COM
mites should be heard by Nevada
democrats. With Wilson in the
presidential chair and a republican
senate, he will be powerle SIS to &C.
compllsh the reforms to which
his party is pledged. No sane
person would hire a man to do 8
certain work that required the
free use of his hands and then send
him to the work securely hand.
cuffed and expect the work to be
done. NO sane man would do that,
yet it is just what a democrat does
to President Wilson when he votes
for a republican United States
senator. file votes to hand-cuf the
man he puts in the presidential
chair. If the democrats of Nevads
want to reap the full benefit Of 8
national victory, they should .seno
Key Pittman to the senate and
Clay TalIman to the house. With.
out the control of both branches OF
congress, our victory in the nation
will be barren.

GOOD FEED FOR THE INDIAN
caotue Fruit 70 Never Likely to BE.
como Extremely Popular ~ q
pOlloaoy for the White.

Nobody but an Indian knows how
to eat prichly pear. The fruit grows
on the edge Of O. thick green leaf, and
bristles with myriads Of closely set
thorns, sharp as needles and fine as
hairs. Though they cannot be seen
with the naked eye. they can certainly
be felt, AZ any one who has tried the
usual method Of picking them with
pocket handkerchief can testify. The
fne thorns penetrate the fingers and
the desh sWells, testers, becomes in
famed and, II neglected, often de-
veiopB into serious case Of blood
poisoning. When an Indian wants to
eat 1t he cuts small. stick, sharpens
1t and thrusts the point into the ripe
fruit. Slicing on the pear with sharp
knife and holding II on the stick, ho
peels 1t, taking care to avoid touching
the rfnd with his fingers. He drops the
peel on the ground to the bitter sor>
row Of any barefoot boy who happens
to step on 1t. A liking for cactus fruit
may bo acquired, like the taste for
olives. but II Is not likely to r1val the
cantaloupe or even the humble grape
fruit in popular favor. It. resembles
cracked walnut shells moistensd with
water, mixed with sawdust and cork
and sprinkled with brown sugar, q lit
tie lemon Juice and dash of quinine.
Any ono who tastes It once IL satisfied
to let the Indians gather the entire
crop

Prescott JournalMiner- Arrivals from the Santa Maria country dur ing the week stated that it is current ly reported that the Bagdad Copper Company on Copper Creek is pre- pairing to resume churn drilling oper- ations, as well as deep mine work Several mining engineers of promin- ent rating have visited the large hold. ings during the past three months, and the recent inspection made by the con sulting engineers of Bisbee, is regari ed as a significant movement toward resumption. The Bagdad holdings embrace an area of over 1000 acres. Several hundred churn drill holes were sunk during the four years the group was under exploration, with de nominations made in copper beds that ranged in the millions of tons of com mercial bearing ores. It is also re- ported that the holding company ha, expended over s4OO,OOO in exploration up to the time work was suspend d several months ago.

 TIGERS LOOSE

An effort is being made by c. N. Thomas, constable at Bisbee, to obtain an expression of opinion from all justices of the peace and con- stables in the state on the amend ment passed by the last legislature ending their terms on January l.. Thomas has in view mandamus pro ceedings preventing the county boards of supervisors from declar- ing the offices vacant.
 Unless mandamus proceedings are brought, Tucson is likely to have but one justice of the peace and one constable after the first of the year. The board of supervisors of Pima county redistricted the county in ac- cordance with this law last Septem- Der, making one district of Tucson. The law specifies that the officers 'of each district shall be a justice and a constable.
 The stand is taken by Thomas that a law which ends the terms of off cers before the terms for which they were appointed are up, is unconstitu- tional. He has retained A M. Frank lin as his attorney.

WHAT II COSTS ID

Cardir atcs in Recent Election Are Making Proper Report of Their
 EXpense Account.

PHOENIX, Nov. 20.-Now that the election is all over and all that remains is for the canvassing boards to pass upon the vote, the candidates for office from every part of the state are complying with the law and fil- ing with the secretary of state at his office in the state house, true and correct reports of the expenses incurred by them in the conduct of the campaign. A hasty glance shows that it isn't always the pesron who spends the most money that wins in Arizona.
 While the expense accounts are not all filed yet a great number of them are and they present some interesting figures. For instance the republi- can state committee report showed while the expense given by Treasurer Daggs at $2,064 .2S, leaving a bal ance on hand of $426 37 Of the can didateS on the ticket, according to the accounts filed so far Col. Fred s. Breen, of Flagstaff, came off the easiest, his campaign costing him but S5. %, while Walter s. Talbot, fe,- low electoral candidate paid s101 20, Thomas F. Campbell who ran for con- gress paid s7O2.5 50 for the distinc- ton.
 
 two of the electoral college candi- dates have filed their expenses. these are Wiley Jones, who paid out $780, 75 and John R. Hampton, who paid out $12O.00. Of this amount Hamp- ton contributed $1OO.OO to the state committee. For Congress on this ticket, Carl Hayden, the successful candidate expended $671. 55 of which S100. % went to the national cam paign, and S100. % to the state con- mittee.
 The democratic central committee report shows that they, too, have money on hand now that the fight is over. The total receipts from all sources for the conduct of the state campaign as given in the sworn statement is $1,S06. 50 while the ex- penditures are $1,252.72 leaving balance of $553. IS.
 There are still others to be heard from in the line of expenses before it can be learned how much the cam paign cost altogether.
