moose party is anything but peace
full is demonstrated by the constant
scrapping of the leaders of the third
party at Reno. Monday p. L. Flani-
gan, the progressive national CON-
mitteeman for Nevada threatened to
adopt legal methods to secure an ac-
counting of funds spent by Col. c. r.
Reeves, the former leader, who was
in charge during the primary cam
paign.
In the Gazette arriving in Tono-
pah today, appears the following
which comes as a climax to the
state of affairs as existed Monday
following the promise to carry the
Reeves case into the courts:
Sore to the point of swearing real
swear words; so painfully ill with
disappointment, disgust, chagrin or
something similar that they must
search the dictionary for low express
sions to convey their feelings, the
bull moose leaders of Reno still re-
tain a sweet will.
The hot expressions of the bull
moose leaders In the Flanagan letter
to Col. Reeves, former moose leader,
, we're warmed over today and direct
ed at the Gazette for exposing to
public view the depths to which the
letter descended. But as to what
the bull moosers are going to do
and it is something terrible to hear
their ravings-one must wait tc
learn.
The sweetness in this murky
smoky atmosphere lies in the fact
that the moosers claim to have {
to do and which they propose t.
follow
For showing up the letter o
Flanagan to Reeves; H. B. Lind, state
chairman of the bull moosers, toda,
accused the Gazette of being il
league with Col. Rooves, conspirinl
with him. For what purpose he di'
not say, but it was evident that h
meant 1t was a conspiracy to shoN
up the progressive leaders. Notwitf
standing the astounding charge
against Reeves, he maintained tina
their publication in the Gazette wa
proof of his charge that Reeves an
the Gazette were in conspiracy.
He assailed the Flanigan-Reeve
news story of yesterday applyin
terrible unprintable words to it III
| til remined that it originated in tn
progressive headquarters, being Dor
with the letter that Flanagan wro
to Reeves, which was of such
, character that only portion of
could be printed even after caref
censorship.
Another tack in the progressi'
chair that made the progressive lea
ers squirm lay in the editorial
yesterdays Gazette, wherein the La
of prominence of the men backil
the progressive party in this sta
was mentioned pityingly.

slowly and impressively, "they

At this point his mental mach
cry seemed to have slipped a CT
for he continued:
Nobody but picayunish edit
would have thought of such an
cusation."
To make a long and odorus ste
short and to denature it sufficien
to make it readable, the progressi
leaders were in terrific peeve Il
