The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1912-10-19
MASSEY Will BE
HERE NEXT FRIDAY

Senator Massey and Congressman
Roberts are approaching Humboldt
county, and will be here on schedule
time. Arriving at GoIconda next
Thursday, the oath, they will go from
there to Paradise, where they will
speak in the evening, coming to Win
nemucea next Friday. The meeting at
Nixon opera house in the evening bids
fair to be the greatest political rally
of the campaign, and the Republican
county committee, assisted by the
Massey club, is making arrangements
for the entertainment of crowd that
will tax the capacity of the large
auditorium.
The Republican candidates were at
Tuscarora Thursday evening and at
Carlin last night, at both places ad-
dressing large and enthusiastic audi
enees. Tonight they will be at
Eureka.
Where Pittman Could Get Votes.
Key Pittmans Tonopah paper, the
Nevadan, says that only one man in
twenty in the United States is inter
ested in sheep raising and wants to
know why the other nineteen should
be taxed for his benefit. Well, they
are not. The sheepherder could engage
in some other business or emigrate.
However, the Honorable Kev Pitt
man can probably get an answer to his
question in a good many communities
in Nevada from the people he seeks
to represent in the United States
Senate. They will probably tell him
that less than one in twenty are in
terested in mining, especially in lead
and zine mining, and that still fewer
in proportion are represented In other
industries which Nevada is seeking to
build up, and which in other states
make Development of the mining IN
dustry possible. They will probably
remind him that only few years ago,
under the last "tariff reform act =
sheep were actually abandoned as
worthless or slaughtered solely for the
mutton and the skin. 1t became fix
ed idom that no self-respecting man
had the moral courage to look sheep
in the face.
The sheep industry was. however,
only in the same condition as every
Utner INDUSTRY tfldt Hdu Utth ntt"NntNs
and the condition of the country at
large is graphically described by
Professor Wilson in his :" History of
the American People see pages 235
and 236. Volume s. This was since
YOU were born, Mr.. Voter, in fact 1t
was only 10 to 90 years ago. Here is
what Professor Wilson said:
"a great poverty and depression
had come upon the western mining re-
gions and upon the agricultural re.
zion of the west and south Prices
had fallen. Men of the poor
er sort were idle everywhere, and filled
with sort of despair. All of the
larger cities and manufacturing towns
teemed with unemployed workingmen,
who were with the utmost dineulty
kept from starvation by the system
attic efforts of organized charity
Having read this, then turn TO page
o63 of Volume of Prof. Wilson s ms
tory and you will find that:
q Not until the year 1897, when the
Republican administration came m
did the crisis seem TO be past.
The Honorable Key Pittman can
have no better answer to ais question
than the answer given by Professor
Wilson. before he became candidate
for the presidency. If Watson $ an
swer. however, is not sufficient. let
him confer with the ranch owners OF
this state. They will probably refer
him. in his quest for votes, TO the sheep
growers Of Australia and South
america, inst as others will advise
him TO get his votes in emma ana
Japan and in Europe if he wants to
admit the product of those countries
to competition with the product of
american labor, which averages from
two TO ten times the wage scale OF
Europe and the Orient.
rovever the answer Of Profess T
Wilson pittman's IS own candidate for
resident, is conclusive
