signing them according to representa-

democracy so well known. 1t should
be necessary to go for satisfactory re-
form to any other party. Democracy

Tense when other leaders gave him
the cold shoulder, is the candidate.
Campaign Funds
On the subject OF campaign funds
Senator Newlands said the democracy
should place itself on g. self-respecting
basis by providing the funds by popu-
lar subscription rather than by de-
pending on special sources for contri-
buttons involving an entangling OBJ
legation. He spoke Of Wilson's re-
fusal to take Tom Ryan's money and
Of Bryan's similar refusal four years
ago OF a similar offer. He compared
the course OF Colonel Roosevelt adj
versely to the colonel who, he said,
recognized good trusts and bad trusts
with the good trusts supporting him.
Senator Newlands asked the ques-
ton as to where the people expected
Wilson to get money for his campaign
which was likewise the peoples cam
paign. He stated that a letter from
headquarters urged popular and
press subscription from the people
and explained that all contributions
could conveniently be forwarded by
national banks which have agreed to
receive and forward such contribu-
tons
Key Plttman's Address
Key Pittman began to speak at 10
o'clock and stated that he did not
consider the campaign formally OPEN
ed as yet intimating that it would be-
gin with the nominations after the
primary. After some reference to the
past and the future he announced a
purpose to avoid personalities In the
coming campaign He said he hoped
to appear in Reno again and make a
speech on the issues to be presented.
The speaker then described the
republican convention at Chicago,
giving severe criticism to the methods
OF those supporting Mr. Taft. He de-
clared that Mr.. Roosevelt was the
popular choice of the republicans.
DEPRESSING he endorsed the principles
act; the recall, initiative and referen-
dunn and returning to the first theme
declared that the same influences
which had barred the wish of the peo-
pie in Chicago were present in this
state and county. He said the same
band was running the republican
party here as two years ago and he
would fight them, making O. reference
which was we'll understood by the
audience although he named no
names. Then followed a dramatic
description Of the Baltimore conven-
ton and the triumph Of Mr.. Bryan,
whose. purpose the speaker acknow-
lodged he did not understand at the
beginning of the fight. He closed
with a declaration Of belief In the
triumph OF woodrow Wilson and the
entire ticket.
Clay TalIman Speaks
Clay Tallman had the bad luck to
speak last but he retrieved himself
by telling two good stories and he
made an appeal for the support OF the
entire ticket. He credited the de-
mocracy Of Nevada with advocating
all progressive legislation passed and
the republican party with opposing
nearly every such measure. He
spoke a good word for Senator New
lands and Key Plttman, telling story
to illustrate his position whereby he
was compelled to touch only on the
few matters the preceding speakers
had failed to speak on.
