NEVADHS TOTAL VOTE
PAST AND PROSPECTIVE

In 1908. the last presidential
year, the total vote of Nevada was
24.526. OF this the democratic
party got 11.2l2; the republican
party. 2l0s. and the independent
party, 436.
Adding 5 per cent to the demo-
cratic vote Of 1908 makes it IL,
T7S; adding the same to the re-
publicana vote makes that 1924;
adding to the socialist a like per
cent makes 1858.
Adding 5 per cent to the indie
pendent vote Of 1908 and dividing
the total equally among the three
perties--for there is no indepen-
dent ticket nationally this year.

would add 1853 to each party. max
ing il democratic. 1926: republi-
can. IL. 467. and socialist. 1868
Estimating again purely for
illustration. that the socialists
make a gain this year of 80 per
cent. that would mean getting
7O8 votes from the democrats and
the republicans. Assuming so per
cent OF socialist gains from the
democrats and 20 per cent from
the republicans, that would sub
tract $50 votes from the demo
Gratis, leaving 1850. and 142
votes from the republicans, leaving
1925. Adding the 7O8 to the
socialists would give them q total
Of s07l.
Now the bull moose must get
votes from the republicans, the
democrats and The socialists.
Assuming 4 our of 10 republicans
as conve. is would take 1856 votes
from that party. Assuming 2 out
of 10 democrats would mean loss
OF 2271 democratic votes. AS.
Stunning out of 10 socialists would
mean contribution of 307
socialist votes to the bull moose.
That would cut down the democratic
to 9088, the republicans to 67S9
the socialists to 2764. The sum
total of progressive seizures would
be 7165. The aggregate would be
Is. 756.
This gives the result in the
probable order: Democrats, 9O88;

JAMES RIORDAN

Mr.. James Riordan, a pioneer of
this state. died at his home in
Mound valley at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning. lacking two hours of
being two weeks from the death Of
his wife.
Mr.. Riordan was born in Mill
street, County Cork, Ireland. on
December 20. 1884. In 1884, he
came to America with his parents
and six children, and settled at
Clean, New York. In 1851, he
went to California and 1853 he
joined the rush to Fraser river.
In 1858, he went co Caribou and
two years later to idaho City,
where he and his brother, Mike.
took no mining and made money.
In 1866. he went to San Francisco
and was married. He and his
wife we're the first passenger over
the Central Pacific for the White
Pine excitement. There were only
two buildings in Elko at that time,
the old depot hotel and another
building, but tents we're plentiful.
They went from Elko to Hamilton
by wagon. He mined for a time.
but not liking it he quit mining
and settled at White River, Nye
county. There he engaged in the
stock raising business. Several
years ago Mr.. Riordan moved to
Mound valley and bought the
ranch on which he lived until his
DEATH.
Mr.. Riordan spent nearly all his
life on the frontier. He saw the
Pacific Coast grow from a few
scattered settlements to a mighty
empire. He did his part toward
laying its foundations broad and
deep. Thinner and thinner grows
the ranks of the pioneers as time
sweeps on. When the last one is
summoned hence. may they all
meet an unbroken band on the
other shore.
High mass will be held over
the remains at Keyser's chapel

CHAMP CLARHs APPEAL

y ne eyes OF the National demo:
cracy are certainly upon Nevada.
Appeal after appeal has come from
the National leaders to the Nevada
democracy to he true to their
principles and send a democratic
United States senator and con-
gresham to Washington to sup
port the administration of Presi
dent Wilson. All the great leaders
who contested for the Baltimore
nomination are on the firing line
working for their successful rival.
All of then appeal to the Nevada
democracy to send Pittman and
Tallman to Washington to represent
the state.
Sunday afternoon the following
dispatch from Champ Clark was
received. He was the idol of
Nevada democrats for the presi-
dental nomination and they should
now heed his appeal:

Now, Mr.. Democrat, will you
throw away the opportunity to put
your party in complete control of
the executive and legislative
branches of the government by
voting for a republican whom you
happened to know 25 years ago?
Will you vote for democratic
president and then vote for a
United States senator to oppose
him? Or will you listen to the
appeal Of Champ Clark and vote
your principles all along the line
of National. politics? All the great
leaders If the party appeal to
you to do your duty on Novem-

tatives. Can you afford to be false
to your principles when the pro-
spects for the return of your party
to power are so bright? Think

SENATOR MAsSErs
COMMERCE. COURT RECORD

s
From the desperate efforts Of
Senator Massey and his friends to
deny lis record on abolishing the
court of commerce. the milestone
across the neck Of the people of
this state, it is evident that they
consider the court of commerce and
his vote on sustaining the presi-
dents veto of the bill that killed
that court very important matter
to clear up before election day.
The truth is that Senator Massey
voted to kill the commerce court
and then voted to sustain the presi-
dents veto of the bill that killed
that court. This is clearly shown
in the following dispatch:
Reno. New, Oct 81, 1912.
The following correspondence
was had today. October 9th, 1912:
Hor. Francis G. Newlands

Dear Senator;
In the Nevada State Journal of

resenting the facts in stating that
Senator Massey on the final test

court. The article further states.

ment as to the facts relative to
such matters.

reply:

Massey's record on the question of

You can understand | feel a

troversy in which / have thus far
taken no part. The fact is that
have not until today examined the
congressional record upon the SUBJ
ject and this did for the purpose
or replying to a similar inquiry
from Elko county. The facts as
shown by the congressional record
are as follows:
There were three legislative ap-
popriation bills which passed con-
gress during the last session.
Two of which were vetoed and
the last Que of which was signed by
the president. The first bill
which went to the president in
cluded provision for seven year
tenure of Office in the civil service
at Washington and also a provision
for the abolition Of the commerce
court. TIE president vetoed this
bill upon the ground that these two
features were Objectionable and the
veto vas sustained by the house,
resulting in the killing of the bill;
the second bill which went TO the
president eliminated the provision
regarding the seven year tenure
in the civil service at Washington
but contained a provision abolish.
