PITTMAN AND TALLMAN

For the last two years Nevada
has been misrepresented in both
houses vi congress. The state is
democratic. but a republican
senator AMI a republican represen-
tative have represented il at
Washington. This is a reflection
on the loyalty of the democratic
party Of Nevada that should be
wiped out at the polls on the fifth
OF November. II can be done if
the democratic party is true to its
principles.
Key Pittman, our candidate for
senator, deserves the loyal support
OF his party Two years ago he
made gallant fight fo- the
s~enatorship against great odds.
His opponent. the late Senator
Nixon left a golden stream behind
IN his tour of the state This year
the conditions are different. A
law is in force limiting Il g
expenses of senatorial and congress
sIonal candidates &c $4,000. Had
such a law been in force two years
ago, the result of that election
might have been different.
Altknnrh l,f,,,,l A.
did not sulk in his tent. lie con.
tinued the fight and is again the
chosen leader of his party. He
answered the party call and should
have the support of every voter
who hei ewes in the great principles
so ably advocated by Woodrow
Wilson. A vote for Wilson and
Pittman will lie a vote for better
and frccr government. A vote for
Massey or SunmcIlieli will be a
vote for the continuan { of trust
and boss rule at Washington.
Clay Tallman, the democratic
- =
'andidate for congress, has won his
spurs in the state senate. He is a
fearless exponent of democratic
principles. His experience as a
legislator and his knowledge of
state affairs make MIN well fitted TO
represent Nevada in the house of
representatives. If elected, he will
be in harmony with the majority
of the house and will be able to
secure Legislation needed by the
state. His opponent is a consistent
follower Of President Taft. He
believes in protecting the rich
manufacturer at the expense of the
public. If he should be elected. he
would oppose all the reforms advo-
Gated by President Wilson and his
vote might defeat them.
rhe only way to prevent such
conditions is for democrats to cast
their votes for Clay Tallman. He
is loya! to their cause and they
should be loyal and true to him on
election day.
