PLEDGES HAVE
MANY S|GNERS
VOTERS AS WELL As CANDI-
DATES FAVOR ELIMINATION
OF CIGARS AND LIQUOR AS
ELECTION OBLIGATIONS.

For the purpose of eliminating
cigars, liquor and other forms of
subsidy from election campaigns,
and incidentally bringing about can
politics in other ways. Judge Ben w.
Coleman is getting the sense of can
didates and voters by circulating two
pledges that have bearing on the
coming election. One pledge Is for
the signatures of voters, whereby
they agree not to support nor vote
for any candidate who seeks to stim-
ulate personal favor by the free
distribution of liquor and cigars or
hires carriages or conveyance to car
ry voters to and from the polls. The
pledge seems to be finding favor as
to date, more than 800 voters in
White Pine county. have attached
their signatures.
The other pledge is for candidates.
all of whom have signed so far as
seen by Judge Coleman. The pledge
and signatures are as follows:
We the undersigned, candidates
for office in White Pine county, Ne
vada, believing that the large expen-
diture of money in campaigning for
ofiice is contrary to public policy. and
being desirous of cooperating with
Judge Coleman in his efforts to
the passage of a Corrupt Practices
Act, and generally to purify politics,
and In support of his efforts to
abolish the use of carriages and other
conveyances to convey voters to the
polls and the peddling OF liquors and
cigars In primary and general cleo
tions. hereby pledge each other and
the public that We will not employ
carriages or other eonveyances for
the purpose of conveying voters to
the polls in either the primary or
general election and that We will not
peddle liquors or cigars while cam
paigning during either of said cleo
tions.
Those of us who are candidates for
the legislature further pledge that We
will support and vote for a Corrupt
Practices Act, If elected, along the
lines indicated by Judge Coleman in
his published letter of April 3. 1912.

This declaration is our covenant
with the people, and we hereby bind
the party and its candidates in state
and nation to the pledges made here
in.
The Rule of the People.
The Progressive party committed
to the principles of government by
self-eontrolled democracy, expressing
Its will through representatives of the
people pledges itself to secure such
alterations in the fundamental law
of the sevral states and of the United
States, as shall insure the representa-
tive character of the government. In
particular the party DEGREES for direct
primaries for the nomination of state
and national officers, for nationwide
preferential primaries for candidates
for the presidency, for the direct cleo
ton of United States senators by the
people, and We urge on the states the
policy of the short ballot with res
possibility to the people secured by
the initiative, referendum and recall.
Amendment of Constitution.
The Progressive party. believing
that free people should have the
power from time to time to amend
their fundamental law so as to adapt
it progressively to the changing
needs of the people, pledges itself to
provide a more easy and expeditions

stitution.

vocate bringing under effective ma

CHAPTER XIV.
The Bubble sursts.

At about the same hour that the
Judge was hurting threats and Insults
at Colonel Fentress, three man were
waiting ten miles away at the head Of
the bayou which served to isolate
Hicks cabin. Now no one OF these
three had ever heard Of Judge Siocum
Price; the breath of his fame had
never blown, however gently, in their
direction. yet they were preparing to
thrust opportunity upon him. To this
end they were ioanging about the
opening in the woods where the
horses belonging to Ware and MurreIi
were tied.
At length the dip of oars became
audible In the silence and one of the
trio stole down the path, q matter OF
fifty yards; to a point that overlooked
the bayou. He was gone but a mo-

The sentence remained unfinished,
for Fentress felt his overweight
nerves snap, and, giving way to a
sudden blind fury, struck at the judge.

played astonishing agility in avoiding

His three friends followed in his
steps, leaving Fentress standing by

thin lips.
AS II the very place were evil, the
judge hurried down the drive toward
the road. At the gate he paused and
turned ON his companions, but bis
features wore q look OF dignity that
forbade comment IT question. He
held out his hand to yancy.
"Sir," he said, "if / could command

Think OF that!" said Yaney, as
much overwhelmed by the judges

closed about the judges hand with
crushing force.
