why THERE MILL Be NO
PITTMAN BUTTONS

Key Pittman Of Tonopah demo
cratic candidate for United States
senator is against the use Of cam
paign buttons and that is the
reason he has not issued any. When
asked this morning when he would
put out some buttons he answered
that he did not intend to use them
at all.
In answer to the natural question
why he would not use them at all.
them Mr.. Pittman replied:
81 object to the use of compaign
buttons because it offers means
of incorporating the sentiment
of the. voter and may be used as a
means of intimidation. For in.
stance. in Tonopah there are
certain mine foremen who are very
strong supporters of mine who
could;if they were willing. induce
every man in tine mines to wear one
of my buttons. And it is very
probable that number of them
would not be of my politics and
would favor some other candi-
date. Reno Gazette.

Mrs. Housewife of Elko:

Mrs. Housewife of Elko:
That group of busy men cell
on you every morning for your
grocery order. Do you realize that
these men are drawing salaries
for this work and that this expense
is part of the price you pay for
your household necessities.
There was a time when the
woman of the house called at the
store ant did her own shopping.
carrying home most of the smaller
parcels. Competition, however.
has forced upon the merchants
additional items of expense, among
which is the employment of solicit
ors to call for your morning
orders.
With this one item of expense
eliminated, there is a considerab' e
margin of profit for someone. 1t
is our policy to give our patrons
the benefit of this saving. Begin
ming, therefore, On October lst,
our solicitors will discontinue
calling on you in the mornings.
We will offer every possible
courtesy and convenience to every
one calling at the store, and
telephone orders will receive the
most careful attention. Deliveries
will be made at definite hours, and
all orders placed previous to the
time the wagons leave the store,
will be sure of reaching you
promptly.
Monday, in this space, we will
give you some prices, which, upon
comparison will show you some of
the benefits of this change. We
must look to you, our customers,
to cooperate with us in doing away
with the old. wasteful, way of
doing business. 1t is certainly to
your advantage, and we believe you
will be able to realize some crafty
ing dividends if you will invest
little of your personal attention in
your buying.

In closing Senator Newlands
appealed to the demo Gratis of Elko
county to do their full duty in
November by electing Key Pittman
to the. Senate and Clay Tallman to
the house. He urged them to lay
aside their personal frienship for
Judge Massey and cast their
ballots. feg Pittman, whom he said
was an educated, polished gentle
man, angaale attorney and fear
less advocate of democratic
PRINCIPLES. If Senator Massey was
elected to fill the remainder of the
term of the. la,e Senator Nixon the
influence ~."f.- Nevada in National
legislation would continue to be
zero in the senate as it is now. He
spoke of Clay, Tallman as being
eminently. fitted to represent the
state of Nevada in. the house. He
had served the state as senator
from Nye county for four years
and was familiar with the needs of
the state and with legislative work.
If republican senator and con-
gresham were elected in Novem-
Der, it would be by democ! atic
votes and they would oppose the
administration. of President Wilson
and might cast the votes that
would defeat his policies. Unless
backed up by a majority in both
houses President Wilson would be
pGwerless to accomplish the great
reforms to which the party was
pledged by the Baltimore platform.
This, he said. should weigh with
dem ocrats in casting their votes
for senator ard congressman.
Senator "Newfands also discussed
Taft and Ro9sevelte and other
issues OF the caMpaign but we have
neither the time nor the space to
report his remarks. He said, how
ever, that the policy of the demo-
cratic party was to take the burden
of taxation from the consumer and
place it upon wealth by means of
an income tax. The whole system
of National taxation could he
radUa!ly revised and wealth n { re
to bear its full portion nf the bur-
den of taxation.

United States Senator Miles
Poindexter arrived in Lawrence
yesterday. He did not disclose
his identity. He spent the day
getting facts. Here are some of
the things he saw:
He went to the soup kitchen
where $500 striking workmen
are being fed daily.
He went to the Jail, and learned
from deputy sheriff that seven
women were detained there with
no charge against them. He
learned that three of these wom-
en- prisoners had nursing babies
with them.
He asked to see the commit
ment papers, and was refused. He
asked to see the prisoners, and
was refused.
He saw and talked with half
dozen women who were seized
and hauled about and beaten by
the police while peacefully stand
ing on a station platform waiting
for a train.
He talked with a ten year old
girl, whose eyes were black and
blue, and who bore other evil
dences of the rought handling of
the police.
He went to tenement where
seventeen people live in three
rooms and where he saw hungry
women, and thin, peaked babies
with no food and no money to
buy food.
He went to relief headquarters
and examined the card catalogue

He was told of the treatment
accorded Joseph ]. Ettor, strike
leader, who is held on a charge of
murder without anything but the
shallowest pretext of law, and to
whom the court has refused
writ of habeas corpus or release
on bail.
To Poindexter, the deputy
sheriff in charge of the Jail ad-
mitted that one of the women
arrested had tainted when she
reached the Jail.
Poindexter was told the story
of another woman, a story not
denied by the police. This woman,
soon to be mother, was dubbed
and mauled by the police, and so
injured that the authorities did
not dare to hold her in Jail. She
now is in the city hospital, and

tions we complain of on the national committee still occupy this attitude toward nominations although some of them may even have passed beyond it as regards elections.
 MT. Roosevelt then proceeded t. an arraignment of many of the state leaders who have been active in sup port of MT Taft. He analysed the results of the primaries in the north ern states and vigorously denounced the national committee in unseating Roosevelt delegates.
 Having exhausted his anathema against his opponents he continued:
 We who in this contest are fight ing for the rights of the plain people. we who are fighting for the right of the people to rule themselves, need offer no better proof of the fact that We are fighting for all citizens, no matter what their politics, than that which is afforded by the action of that portion of the press which is controlled by privilege, by the great special interests in business. News papers of this type are found in every part of the country in San Fran cisco. in Cincinnati, in Chicago and St. Louis, in Boston and Philadelphia But they are strongest in New York. Some of these newspapers are nom
 nally democratic, some nOminally re publican. some nOminally independent. But in reality they are true only to the real or fancied interests of the great capitalist class by certain of whose members they are controlled. Sometimes the interests of this cap italist class are identical with those of the country as whole, and in that case, these papers serve the in tereStS of the commonwealth Some times the interests of the capitalist class are against the interests of the people as a whole, and in that case these papers are hostile to the inter ests of the commonwealth. But nei- ther their acting favOrably to nor their acting adversely to the interests of the commonwealth is anything more than an incident to their sup port of the interests to which they ! are bound. The great and far
 reaching evil of their action is that
 they choke and foul the only chan nels of information open to so many l honest and we'll meaning citizens

Tof these papers in New York and Massachusetts supported MT. Parker against me in 1904. MT. Parker was democrat but he was entirely sat isfactOry to their masters, and for the time being they ardently did all they could to overthrow the rcpub- lioan party an dtO elect a democratic president But when 1 began to be seriously talked about for the repub- Ilican nomination, these papers one and all turned republican to the ex- tent of becoming my furious oppOn- ents and the furious champions of MT. Taft There is an element of papers continual lamentations about
 the likelihood of my candidacy break ing up the republican party. They themselves did all they could to beat the republican party when they thought they could elect MT. Parker. Now these papers would eagerly champion the republican party if they could keep MT. Taft as it's nominee for president. In the past, they have not concealed their contempt for MT. Taft and none of them regards him in any way as a leader
 The difference between us and our present day opponents is as old as civilized history In every great crisis of the kind we face today we find arrayed on one side the man who with fervor and broad sympathy and lofty idealism stands for the forward movement, the men who stand for the upift and betterment of mankind, and who have faith in the people; and ever against them the men of restricted vision and contracted sym pathy. whose souls are not stirred by the wrongs of others. Side by side with the latter, appear the other men who lack all intensity of conviction who care only for the pleasure of the day; and also those other men who distrust the people, who if dishonest wish to keep the people helpless SC as to exploit them, and who if hon. est so dsbelieve in the power of the 1 people to bring about wholesome re- 1 form that every appeal to popular
 conscience and popular intelligence
 l fills them with angry terror Accord
 ing to their own lights, these men are
 often very respectable very worthy
 But they live on a plane of low ideals.
Arizona republican., 1912-06-18

In the atmosphere they create inn posters flourish and leadership comes to be thought of only as success in making money and the vision of heaven becomes a sOrdid vision, and all that is highest and purest in human nature is laughed at, and honesty is bought and sold in the marketplace.
 Opposed undyingly to these men are the men of faith and vision, the men in whom love of righteousness burns like a flaming fire, who spurn lives of soft and selfish ease, of SlOthful, self indulgence, who scorn to think only of pleasure for themselves who feel for and believe in their fellows, whose high fealty is reserved for all that is good, that. is just, that is honorable
 By their very nature these men are bound to battle for the truth and the right. They do not address themselves only to the cultured and exclusive few. They prize character even more than intellect They know we'll that con- science is not the privilege merely of the men of wealth and cultivation, and they make their appeal to all men alike in the name of the great fundamental qualities, and qualities that every man should have, the qualities of generosity and unselfishness, of fearless honesty and high courage.
 We who war against privilege pay heed to no OutwOrn system of philoso- phy. We demand of our leaders today understanding of and sympathy with the living and vital needs of those in the community whose needs are great est. We are against privilege in every form. We believe in striking down every bulwark of privilege. Above all we are against the evil alliance of spe- cial privilege in business with special business in politics. We believe in giv- ing the people a free hand to work in efficient fashion for true justice. To the big men and to the little man in all the relations of life we pledge justice and fair dealing.
 "A period of change is upon us. Our opponents, the men of reaction, ask us to stand still. But we could not stand still if we would; we must either go forward or go backward. Never was the need more imperative than now for men of vision who are also men of action. Disaster is ahead of us if we trust to the leadership of men whose
