PR0GRESSIvES VISIT EUREKA
Candidates for United States Senator
and Supreme Judge Open Cam

Hon. Sardis Summerfeld. Progressive
candidate for United States Senator, and
Judge W. r. Thomas, Progressive can
didate for Justice Of the Supreme Court.
arrived in Eureka by Wednesdays train
and spent Thursday and Friday inter
viewing the voters in this vicinity. On
Thursday night a meeting was held in
the Eureka Opera House at which both
OF the candidates took occasion to give
their views On the political issues Of this
campaign.
No organization of the Progressive
party had been effected in Eureka until
the arrival OF these candidates, and no
arrangements had been made for their
reception. but word was passed around
that u meeting was to be held and .
fair sized audience attended. Ernest
Mau of Eureka acted as Chairman of
the meeting and introduced the speakers.
Judge Thomas spoke at some length
with regard to the qualifications of a
uA1h Op6b httb0 " tn0 III VI Oupftul0
Judge. He commended that a general
practitioner of the law is far better
suited for that position than a man who
has devoted his energies to the practice
of any particular phase Of the law. He
also advocated the recall of judges as
well as of other officers and affirmed his
support Of the entire platform of the
Progressive party.
Mr.. Summerfield made a lengthy ad-
dress covering practically all of the
planks Of the party platform and touch
ing upon the differences in the plat
forms of the several parties. His chief
contention was to the effect that in this
campaign the leading question is that
of the Importance Of the position of
vested interests and of personal interests
He advocated the doctrine that personal
interests are of greater Importance than
vested corporate interests and stated
that the Progressive party affords the
opportunity for social aud industrial
justice.
The speaker touched upon the tariff
as it is being advocated by the different
parties. and pointed out wherein he be-
lieves the Progressive party to have
taken a higher ground than either of
the other parties. He cslled the atten-
ton of those assembled to the plank
in the platform which advocates equal
suffrage and appealed to the ladies pres
ent for their support in this campaign.
The speakers commanded the attention
of the audience while the addresses
were being made. and at the close Of
each speech a liberal amount of ap'
plause was given. The gentlemen can.
vassed this.community quite thoroughly
during their stay here. They left by
this mornings train for Battle Mountain
and Austin.
