that the salary of MIR. Willis short.

from $1,000 per month to S75. 90

seems that the mistake is serious.
There is mo- law. now, whicl will
permit any one to vote for United
States Senator and the attempt, up
on the part of Mr.. Voight to con
pei the people of ElkU county to
vote directly for a United State
senator, is in contradiction with
both the Federal and the State
Constitutions.
Everybody appreciates the i'm
p%ortance Of the senatorial struggle
in Nevada, this year. Everyone
realizes that possibly Elko county's
vote may decide this contest.
Friends of Senator Massey rely
upon his receiving a substantial
majority here. Mr.. Pittman, like
wise, that this great democratic
county will return him a majority.
Are the hopes of either of these
men, and their friends, when re-
allied, to be blasted by this
error? Is this error to form the
basis of a struggle and a contest.

any Of MIR. Voight's?
