several committees at any time did
Mr.. Bartlett proclaim himself in
favor either of a resolution or a
plank or even y suggestion or q
hint of non-partissn judiciary and
it was not until Mr.. Bartlett had
really seen that the Party that
had twice hcnored him in the
United States Congress would not
nominate him for the Office Of
Justice of the Supreme Court and
! it was not until after the time for
the filing of nominations with the
|Secretary of State had closed that
Mr.. Bartlett came to the conclusion
that he would run independent and
that he would blindfold the people
with the declaration for nom
partisan judiciary.
When the time comes that a law
may be passed providing that no
judicial candidate shall be a
nominee of any political party then
every man will be able to face the
people upon an equal basis.
Pat McCarran, the democratic
nominee. went before the people in
the primarie; in a contest that was
fair and open to all aspirahts
He won his nomination fairly
and squarely and even those who
oppose him most bitterly will not
deny that he is man equal to the
position and possessed of the ability
to carry out the duties of the Office.
The life and career of Mr..
McCarran spent in This state be-
speaks the character of the man;
fairness, determination and
honesty, together with his great
ability are the things that have
won him the state wide recognition
that he now holds.

COMMISSIONER
WILLIS REPLIES

/ have not before answered any
of the charges made against me by
the Elko Free Press. feeling that
the people who knew me would
readily see the utter absurdity Of
them, but latterly some of these
charges have been so utterly false,
| feel in justice to others as we'll as
myself, that l should reply.
1t is true that the expenditures
of this county have greatly in
creased during the past four years
and they will continue to increase.
for the county is growing and
building up at a very great rate
compared to what it did in former
years and this increasing growth
requires new roads and other ex-
penditures. Then the criminal
business of the county has greatly
increased in cost, owing to the
payment of So per diem and
mileage to witnesses and incident.
ally among other things, to such
bills as that Of E. M. SteniDger,
Editor of the Free Press, who in
February 1911, charged and
collected from this county, for
printing the final delinquent tax
list, and very few minor items of
county printing, the sum of
S354.55, when for the month of
December 1910. it had been lrinted
by his predecessor. whose verbal
agreement with the commissioners
he said did not bind. him." for
$40 and the same thing that he did
last December and January. and
will do again this year for $50 per
month. Charges of attempted held
up of TIE county come with bad
grace from this man.
The Free Press falsifies when it
says that Elko County lost one
dollar through the sale of it's bonds
let alone the sum IF SO, 220. 90 and
if IL did not know it was false
when it printed it. not much
credenre should be given 10 any
other of it's statements. for it is a
matter of record on the
Trnasurer's books, that the county
received as much as The highest
bidder offered for the bonds al
though the bid of the Henderson
Bank was the only real bid the
commissioners had before them ut
the time.
II is slso false in saying that
E. J. L. Taber made strong pro-
test against the mileage bills Of
Commissioner Lyttou and myself
altho he does not mention Mr..
Lytton, leading his readers to think

MR.. BARTLETS
INCONSISTENCY

The Inconsistency of some people
becomes especially prominent when
they aspire to political office. and
we submit that the inconsistency of
Mr.. George A. Bartlett in declar-
ing for non-partisan judiciary is
exceedingly prominent.
The, republican press through
the state are emphatic in their dec
laration of the ability of Mr..
Bartlett, upon the ground that he
has practiced law for nineteen
years. but during those nineteen
years has anyone ever heard of
him declaring for a non-partisan
judiciary until he became a candi-
date? Mr.. Bsrtlett's ability as a
Lobbyist in the halls of the legisla-
ture isiof state repute, and yet no
member Of the legislature ever
heard Mr.. Bartlett declare himself
in favor ola law such as as been
enacted in California and other
states prohibiting judicial candi-
dates from being nominee of any
political party.
On the 22nd day of March. 1912,
Mr.. Bartlett in statement made
to the Reno Evening Gazette and
published in that republican press
said:
81 have decided formally to
announce my candidacy for the
democratic nomination for the posi-
tion on the Nevada Supreme bench,
made vacant by the retirement of
Justice Sweeney. have had this
question under consideration for
some time. At first was inclined
not to be candidate, but my final
decision has been largely governed
by the demands of my friends from
all parts of the state and even
should my candidacy be unsuccess-
full l shall always feel grateful for
the many expressions Of allegiance
that have come to me while had
this QUESTION up for consideration.

Of the democratic ticket will be but
all whohave so far been mentioned
are personal friends Of mine and |
have no fear of the final result SO
far as the democratic party as a
whole 10 Ne vads is concerned"
Where was Mr.. Bartlett's nom
partisan judiciary ideas when he
made this statement announcing
his candidacy through the re-
publican press?
In May 1912 the Democratic
Convention met at FallDn at which
convention Mr.. Bartlett was a con.
tinued and an active worker on
the floor and before the various
committees If that body and never

Columbia, Feb. 22.-After over two
hours of discussion, in which the
whole question was threshed out and
much political talk was INDUCED in,

so as to make iI read for adjourn

Is the date for the final adjourn

ed. and they showed decidedly that
they were opposed to the May recess.
In vain the proponents of the May
recess argued for the necessity Of
adopting the Code and hearing the
report OF the dispensary investigat-
ing committee.
The Senate decided this was not
sufficient reason for the May recess
and fixed February 29 as the date for
final adjournment. The resolution
was returned to the House, for action
by that body. and tonight the House
-concurred in the Senate resolu-
tion as to adjourning sine die next
Thursday. Mr.. Stevenson then sug-
gested that he House might want to
