Lawless Everywhere

The city of Baltimore has the licensed regulated
saloon 1t is lawess there as is the unlicensed sa-
loon in wet territory the blind tiger in dry territory
Baltimore is one more example of regulation which
does not regulate The saloonkeepers of that city re-
fuse to obey the law While restrictions are laid upon
them they do not hesitate nufy such restrictions
do not happen to please them So defiant of law are
these licensed, regulated saloonkeepers that Judge
Elliott threatens to Jail them and keep them behind the
bars until they learn to respect law
The Baltimore Daily News is urging stricter law
enforcement 1t declares that many citizens who are
opposed to statewide Prohibition are equally opposed
to awessness the part of license Dealers but that
the awbreaking saloonkeepers are arousng antagon-
ism against the traffic and are making Prohibition
votes.
The fact is the liquor element is 1awless in both
wet and dry territory. Where there license and
regulatory laws the gang does everything in its power
to defeat the laws purpose. Where Prohibition laws
prevail and where weak executives in office this
same lawess spirit is manifest
After everything has been said and done, there
remains but one effective remedy and that is the abo
ton of the saloon and the election of officials who will
not hesitate to strictly enforce the law.

A dispatch from Salt Lake.
received about III o'clock this fore
noon ny Mrs. Gutridge. brought
her the unexpected news of Mr..
Gutridge's death. No particulars
except the news of his death were
given in the telegram. Mrs.
Gutridge was Frustrated by the
ews and the town was shocked
when it became known that Mr..
Gutridge was dead. A later tele-
gram from st. Marks hospital
stated that Mr.. Gutridge died at
$3.50 Friday night of edema of the
brain.
Mr.. GutriGge left here about ten
days ago, expecting to go to West
Baden, Indiana. Nothing was
heard from him until a telegram
announcing his death was received
today. He seemed to be in his
usual healt when he left and the
news of his death came as clap
of thunder out of clear sky.
We have not the data before us
for an extended Iotire today. But
we cannot help paying a trihuce to
Mr.. Gutridge's memory. He was
an enterprising, charitable, law
abiding citizen. His word was as
good AS gold. That he had the
confidence and respect of the
people of Elko can lie truly said.
They will miss him as the days
come and go.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to Mrs. Gutridge in her
great bereavement.
At this writing it is rot decided
whether or not his remains will BIZ
brought here for burial.

William Jennings Bryan in his
speech in Reno on September &c,
asked the pertinent question as to
who was to look out for the
children of the victims of the
monopolies. Said Mr.. Bryan: "lf
George w. Perkins knew that MIR.
Roosevelt were on the peoples side,
he would not be on Mr.. Rcosevelt's
side. Mr.. Roosevelt says that Mr..
Perkins is for him because, Mr..
Perkins is interested in his
children. All right. Mr.. Perkins
children may inherit stock in the
steel trust and in the Harvester
trust when Mr.. Perkins dies, hut
if good fatherly Mr.. Perkins wants
to get president who will take
care Of his children and look after
their trust stock, / appeal to you,
let us get president who will look
after our children who will not in
herit trust stock the children IF
the victims of these monopolies.
Mr.. Bryan makes plea for the
election of a democratic president
and democratic senator and con1
gresham.

In practically every county in Col
orado, outside of Denver, the stand
pat Republicans and the Bull Moose
are fusing on legislative candidates.
What mixture! What a mess it will
be! In very few instances are these
standpaters and Bull Moosers pledged
to vote for either their party or the
peoples choice for senators. If this
standpat and Bull Moose combina-
ton elects majority to the legisla-
ture, the result will be a Republican
legislature, and, not being pledged,
Guggenheim and Archie Stevenson
will be in power. The only way to de-
feat this ugly combination is to vote
for Democratic candidates for the
legislature.

health is rapidly improving. His ply,
sicians report that he will be new
man when the treatments that he
now Is undergoing shall have been
completed. The alarming reports be-
Ing circulated by some Of the Repub-
licans regarding Mr.. Bolsinger's con.
dition are entirely without founda.
ton. To put 1t mildly. the campaign
against Mr.. Bolsinger Is indecent at
this time. taking advantage Of his
illness, when he cannot be here to
conduct his own campaign. Certainly
the great mass Of the voters will
show their contempt of such unmanly
tactics by giving the Democratic can.
didate for sheriff a rousing majority
on election day.
Gilpin observer., 1912-10-24

A great many Democrats are of the
opinion that if they vote for Shafroth
and Thomas for senator, and if these
gentlemen receive majority their
election is assured. Here is where
you are wrong. The only way to as
sure the election of Shafroth and
Thomas as United States senators is
to elect a Democratic legislature.
Unless this is done, no matter what
majority Shafroth and Thomas may
have, their election is not sure.
Gilpin observer., 1912-10-24

Don't be misled into scratching
your ticket to oblige a friend or
neighbor. Tell them that they are on
the wrong ticket, and that you can
not afford to sacrifice principle for
friendship. Vote a straight ticket by

of purpose is the watchword of the
