Estelle had almost forgotten the
bulb, when one day mamma brought

two leaves showing. Now you may
take care of it."
So Estelle put the pot with the two

it with her little watering-pot, and

GIVEN WILSON

Last night in New York City
Woodrow Wilson spoke to the people
OF the great metropolis. Two big
meetings were held during the night.
1t is stated that it brought forth the
largest crowd ever known in the big
city. Wilson was cheered for more
than an hour before he could open
his address. The cheering started
as the president came into the door
and he was compelled to stand for
more han an hour before he made
his talk. In his speech he said:
"All men have to do is to realize
that the common enterprises OF life
are the enterprises of politics; that
man is not voting an abstract pc
ltical creed, but is voting a program
of justice and right when he votes
at the polls

The Republican Papers
Open Mud Batteries
SANDER Articles Published
To Injure the Cause of
Democratic State Nominees

During the past week the Rcpub-
lican papers have given extra time
to real mud singing This i espec-
tally true in the candidacy OF Key
Pittman for United States Senator .
As the Democratic papers have not
used any such methods. and the cal,-
didates themselves nave refrained
from such use the State Democratic
Committee has sent out the follow
ing to the voters oi the State, which
should be read by every thinking
voter
We call the special attention OF all
you Nevadaus to the Unfair campaign
made by the Republican i,ress, par
ticularly the Reno Gazette and the
Goldheld Tribune, dominated and
controlled by the Winglield interests,
in their attempt TO brand Mr. Pitt
man as a railroad man. The RepuL
lican press knows that such state
mcnt was proven false two yeas
ago They know that MI Bartine.
the Chairman of the State Railroad
Cmmis sion. branded it as false. They
know that Mr.. Pittnan has always
been fought by the railroad COM
panies. they know that he i the only
candidate for United States senator
who two years ago publicly de
nounc% the railroad overcharses
and unjust discrimination against thgy
people of the State OF Nevada, and
that he Is the only candidate for
United States senator Who is now
publicly making tight against the
iuiquitous backhaul and other over
charges and unjust determinations.
They know that Senator Massey
voted favorable to the railroad COM
pauics on the Commerce Court and

on the amendment to the Panama
J Canal bill. They know that Key
| Pittman has never been employed
| by nor received a cent from any rail
road company. and that he has al
ways. ever since he ha, been in the
State Of Nevada been suing the rail
road companies. We do not know
how far these libelous and deceptive
methods will be pursued. No matter
how desperate Senator Massey sup
porters may be, they have no right
TO resort to such methods. aud Sen
ator Massey should not permit MIR,
Wingtield or any other OF his sup
porters to resort to vili6cation, libel
and SANDER, We are not charging
thar Senator MaSsey'S supporters
will go any further. but We issue a
warning to the voters against such
methods used at the last moments
before election. Key Pittman. Clay
Tallman and F. ~ McCarran have
never reSortcd and will never resort
to personalitic, and they have not
permitted their supporters or the
Democratic press to indulge i'll per

Two Good Men.

1t is not the custom of the Democrat
to puff or bring forth candidates, but we
think this section ofthe Stateis deserving
of some consideration at this time at the
hands of the Democracy. There are two
offices we shsuld like to see placed IN
Barbour and Randolph counties, both of
which men we shall name being eminently
fitted for the places we should like to see
them 6ll We refer to the Attorney
General and Supreme Court of Appeals.
For the former we should like to see Mr..

attorney of Randolph county. While We
do not know MIR. Kump personally, We
know of his work and his fitness for the
place. He has the material in him and
the makeup for an able and efficient At
torney General, and his county should
get up behind him and give him strong
and steady shove 70. the place, and we
known that her ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

prominent young man in this place.
For the supreme court we want Hon.

Democrat we have known all our life.
He is ore who has been tested and tried
and has never been found wanting at any
time in his duty to his party. We know
him to be LAWYER who is not out classed
in his profession IN this section or in fact
in the entire State. Born a lawyer, he
has added to his birthright by steady
perseverance in his chosen profession I'm
til It is unnecessary to say that be is in

a jurist His whole ambition is in this

State of West Virginia we should rather
see elected to the Supreme bench than
our good friend. When we say this of
Mr.. Woods we know whereof we speak.
He would fill the bill to the satisfaction
OF every one. and is just the kind Of
man to place on the bench-one who has
asked no favors and will have none
to give as a member of the supreme
court.
These two men the Democrat would
like TO see honored by the Democracy of

done so solely from point of their fitness
