WILL GIVE FORMAL
 NOTICE IN AUGUST
Woodrow Wilson Will Be Told of His Nomination as the
 Democratic Nominee.
REFUSES TO DISCUSS ISSUE
Tariff and the High Cost of Living.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Seagirt, N. J.-Governor Woodrow Wilson and Senator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky, who was permanent chairman of the Baltimore conyen- tion, decided here recently to have the governor formally notified of his nomination on the lawn of New Jer- seys little White House" here. MT. James came up from Washington and had long talk with the nominee, dur ing which he was requested to name as late date as possible to afford Governor Wilson an opportunity to catch up with his correspondence, now some 10000 letters and telegrams behind.
 The speech of notification will be short and the governors reply will sound the keynote of the campaign, MT. James declared.
 Governor Wilson let it be known that he would deal chiefly with the which he regards as the leading is- sues, clearly and fully. Until that time, however, he will have little to say in reply to criticisms of the plat form by Theodore Roosevelt or any body else. His speech of acceptance, which he shortly will begin to draft, will be his first public comment, he declared, upon the party platform.
 Every attempt to induce Governor Wilson to take issue with any critic so far has failed. He discussed the high cost of living as an issue, saying he regarded it as the leading issue with the tariff at the heart of it, but declined to comment upon Col. Roosevelts utterances.

E.. NJ. HANSEL

The announcement of Mr.. Z. NJ.
Hansel as a republican candidate
for county assessor appears in this
issue. Mr.. Hansel has lived in
Elko county for the past ten years.
Six years ago he made a hopeless
race on the republican ticket for
member OF the assembly. This
should entitlc him to the support
of his party in the race for county
assessor.
The writer has known NJ r. II nseI
about ten years and knows nothing
about him that is discreditable.
He ranks with tie good citizens of
he county in every respect. He has
lots of ability and is we'll qualified
in every way &c make an excellent
officer for the county.
As Mr.. Hansel has no opposition
at the primary election. he is sure
to be the republican nominee for
assessor. II successful in N .yem-
Der, he will do the best that is in
him to perform the duties of
assessor to the entire satisfaction
of the public.
He is conducting a dairy and
poultry farm within Elko's limits
and attends strirt;y TO business.

J.. j. RUTHERFORD

Another candidate for constable
Of EIko township ome to the
front today. What We have here

Of this office TO the citizens Of Elko
and the kind of mar who should
fill 1t still goes and all of it applies
TO Harvey j. Rutherford. who
comes before the voters as an indie
pendent Democratic candidate for
constable of this township.
Mr.. Rutherford intended to cone
before the primary election as a
democratic candidate for constable
and so announced himself, but
through an oversight he failed TO
file his nomination papers within
the time fixed by the law. Failing
in that, there is no way in which
he a get before the people except
as an independent candidate.
Two years ago Mr.. Rutherford
was a candidate for this office on
the democratic ticket and was de-
feated by Constable Oudcrkirk By
a small majority. He made a clean
fight and did his best to win.
Two years ago we said that Mr..
Rutherford had all the gu .lfcations
necessary to make an excellent
officer and We have seen nothing in
his conduct since to change M
mind. He was worthy then and
is worthy now.
In submitting his name to the
voters Of Elko township, we ask for
him a careful. conscientious con.
sideratiOn. If he is elected. there
is no doubt but that Elko will
have a capable, efficient officer

ROOSEVELT As he IS

The following pen picture of
Theodore Roosevelt was drawn by
Missouri republira n editor.
We commend it to the prayerful
consideration of the followers of
the great American fraud.
Roosevelt is a pragmatist. if
evil helps him along. he says like
Satan. Evil be thou my god
He is against all bosses and
trusts that are not for him. He is
against Hartman wnen Hartman
quits putting up for him. He
hates Rockefeller. but lie loves
Morgan. He loathes Lorime, but
f~raternizes with Cox and Finn.
Thou shalt not steal" he cries
at the Taft machine. but be will
take all his own machine can steal
in the way of delegates. He in
vents the steam roller and rides it
ruthleSsly. When he is under il he
cries that it is an internal Jugger-
nsut. bat his friends are permitted
To rape the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company.
He discovers Taft as a saint,
and later sees Taft as d devil.
He speaks of honor. but would have
republican electors chosen u vote
for Taft. vote for Roosevelt in the
electoral college. Only that is
right which is good for MIN. Only
that is wrong which is bad for him.
For other candidates for ofice.
publicity of expenditures, yes.
For him no.
He is the law above law. the
exception TO rule. He is his own
morality. That is WHY he is a
bad in the sense Of dangerous
man. In that pragmatic sense he
is Napoleonic. Ostensibly fighting
the v~iciousness of ~pragnatism, he
is its very incarnation. and the
worst of it is that he doesn't knew
it. in his fanatic and frenetic
autolatry."

HON. GEORGE A. BARTLETT

Hon. Geo A. Bartlett has declared
that he will make the race for
justice of the supreme court as a
non-pArtisian candidate. and with
out utilization to any party. on the
broad ground that the judiciary
should be out of politics and above
party strife. His letter to the
public reads as follows:
To the People of Nevada:
Believing in the wisdom of the

judiciary of PARTISAN affliqtiun
and its freedom from political
obligation or prejudice. ! hereby

II is my belief that the judiciary
Of the state is today untrammeled

cleo ed on party pl-tforms and.
therefore. my dependent candidacy
must not be taken as a criticism Of
the present of9ce-holdinR judiciary.

REPUBLICANS DISAGREE

There seem TO be a wide differ
ence of opinion among Elko
republicans as tn the duty of the
advisory committee. TIE other
day q prominent republican told us
that an advisory committee was a
part Of the republican machinery
of the county and gave US the
names of the members of the COM
mittee. He elso told US that the
duty Of the committee was to pass
upon prospective candidates for
office. Today another republican.
equally prominent told US we were
mistaken as TO the duties of the
committee. and that its duty was
to keep repuhli can candidates for
county clerk and county recorder
from opposing the present recorder
and clerk. In this they had failed.
because candidates for these office:
had coppered the advice Of the
committee.
Now. the above may call our
another indignant protest from the
committee. but we should not BIZ
eensured for publishing the news
especially when it is vouchcd for

Of the committees own party. II

TEL LING THE TRUTH

AT the present time there are
three parties in the field, each as
surfing its followers that a victory
is certain. There are thousands of
democrats. thousands of republican,
and il is barely possible. but doubt.
full, that there are thousands of
Roosevelt zealots Who reIigiously
believe, without knowing or con-
sidering the forces and circum-
stances behind and opposed Ia each
that their respective candidates
will hit the tape on election night
far in advance of the next closest
in the race. The chief reason for
such belief is that their ears are
closed to all arguments that tend
otherwise. They implicitly believe
the statements Of the campaign
managers, who tell the truth as
did Baron Munchsusen.
Even the candidates themselves
do not want TO know The truth
when IL is unsatisfactory. just
