The Independent believes that

could lave easily dispensed with the
extra deputy during much of this
last term, for the amount of work
done in his Office is measured
accurately By the fees it earns. 1t
is true the law allows the extra
clerk, but it does ,ot require the
extra employment, if tie services
are not required.
Tomorrow, We will endeavor in
another article. to show how Mr..
Greathouse, by strict attention to
business, has aved (?) the county

Office Of Regent as the law provides
and Mr.. Pray did not receive the
official recognition before the
voters of Elko c, unity as the law
gives him and to which he is en-
titled.
1t may be said that because Mr..
Pray is running on the Socialist
ticket and has no probable chance
for election, that this omission
makes no difference, but how will
Mr.. Pray feel about it?
Further, unless it be admitted
that Mr.. Weight purposely omitted
the ma me of Mr.. Pray from the
list, which is highly improbable,
might not a similar mistake or
omission have occurred upon some
other office where the contest
was close and where the vote of
Elko county one way or the other
might decide the result? If Mr..
Weight through his lack of care
left off the name of Mr.. Pray,
might he not have left off the
name of any other candidate, and
so done some one great damage
and had his act the basis of an ex.
pensive election contest and
possibly result in the thwartlng
of the will of the voters of Elko
| county by DISTINGUISHING them
for this particular office.
All of these errors are the errors
of Mr.. Weight and are correct in
the certificate of the Secretary Of
State. In other respects this
certificate is incorrect.
In the notice as published by the
Free Press VIZ find all the township
officers of Elko advertised as
candidates for office in Weiland
township, and that there is, SO far
as the certificate goes no election
to be held for township offers in
Elko Township.
In the certificate furnished the
Independent we had an opportunity
| 1t seemed to US to exercise orr
Judgment in this particular matter,
and gave Mr.. Weight the benefit
OF the doubt and listed these
officers as candidates of Elko Town
ship.
In the certificate furnished the
Independent the township candi-
dates residing in Monticello are
shown to be candidates for Offices
in Montello Township. In the
certificates as published by the
Free Press they show as candidates
for these Offices in Tecoma Town
ship.
Will any Of these errors in this
certificate be the subject of future
litigation? Are they evidences of
efficiency in the clerks office? Are
the people of Elko county wiling to
continue to entrust such an i'm
purtant and vital matter as cleo
tons to one who has proven himself
not only not eff lent and not COM
petent, but grossly inefficient and
incompetent.
In addition to these errors,
which may or may not result in
future trouble, (but if they do not
it will be in nowise due to the
efficiency of Mr.. Voight.) The
people of this county will be very
fortunate indeed to find these are
the only mistakes Mr.. Weight has
made in this highly important
matter
In fact we have been informed
that Mr.. Voight has failed to
follow the express provisions of
the statute in preparing his official
ballot upon one Of the most inn
portant state Offices 10 be voted on
in the coming election, and that IL
the reported mistake is true
that there may be serious trouble
as a result therefrom. We intend

censured of late very severely by
the Free Press for its attacks upon
Fred C.. Voight, the present
encumbent of the clerks office of
Elko county and again candidate
for that same Office, presumably
upon the democratic ticket, and the
organs urging the erection of MIR.
Weight have gone to great length
to laud him, and have made the
positively ridiculous assertion, in
! view of the facts and his record as
! county clerk, that Mr.. Voight is
the most efficient county clerk Elko
county ever had. The Independent
will admit that it may have been
somewhat severe in its reflections
upon Mr.. Voight, and that to
certain extent they have been more
or less personal, but we have
always felt that we lad ample
grounds for our position, and
events of the last few days have
convinced us of the correctness of
our estimate of Mr.. Voight. We
will admit that our personal
opinion of Mr.. Voight is not a
material matter for the considera-
tion of the voters We believe
also that comparisons are odious
and that after all it does not make
any difference in so far as the
present encumhent of the clerks
office is concerned whether or not
Mr.. Weight is an officer more
efficient than A. G. Dawley, L. o.
Henderson Webster Patterson and
pj. A. Mcbride. who have hereto
fore filled the Office.
The vital question at this time
is, is Mr.. Weight merely competent
to fill the office and is he efficient?
And from now on in this campaign
we will disregard any personal
feeling we may have against Mr..
Weight which has been personal
on n regards to his official and
party acts, and submit some
portions of his record from which
the voters of Elko county can draw
a candid conclusion as to whether
nr not he is entitled to their con-
fidence and their suffrage.
The duties of the county clerks
Office are more important and
lasting in their effects than the
average voter is apt to think, and
great responsibility is vested in
the encumbent of that office.
One of the most important duties
resting on the county clerk is
the matter Of the issuance of
marriage licenses. The law in
,one regard is as follows:
Section 2339 Of the Revised Laws
of the State Of Nevada reads as
follows:
Male persons Of the age Of eigh.
:een years, and female persons of
the age of sixteen years, not
nearer of kin than second cousins
or cousins Of half blood, and not
having husband or wife living,
may he Joined IN marriage; pro.
vided always, tina. male persons
under the age If twnety-one years
and female persons under the age
of eighteen years, shall first obtain
the consent of their fathers
respectively, or in case OF the death
or incapacity of their fathers then
Of their mothers or guardians;
and provided, further, that nothing
in this act shall he construed so as
to make the issue of any marriage
ilieeitimate if the person or
persons shall not be Of lawful
age."
This law is intended TO protect
youths and especially young girls
from contracting i'll advised

which may result in the wrecking
of life.
How has Mr.. Weight measured
up to the responsibility entrusted
to him by the voters Of Elko
county in this regard?
Since Mr. Voight's encumbeucy
in this office he has failed in at
least two cases in this most impor-
tant matter. and with disastrous
results to all concerned. Two
cases which demonstrate beyond
the peradventure of a doubt the
wisdom of the people when they
put the law upon the statute.
In the year 1911 a young man,
presumably>an. orphan and under
the age when he might receive
legally marriage certificate with
out any particular legal fprmality,
applied to the Office of the county
clerk, thin in charge of Mr..
Voight, for marriage license and
received the same. and was
married by virtue Thereof. Later,
and before reaching the age of
majority, this young man deserted
his wife. young, promising girl,
and still continues to desert her,
and as we are informed, has never
made any provision for her support
although he is reported to be we'll
TODD. This young woman is prac-
tically without relief, for the
young man could probably have
the marriage set aside.
Now what would nave been the
position of this young woman had
Mr.. Voight performed his duty
in the premises? Either he would
have secured the consent of the
guardian and the marriage w"uld
have been legal, or he would have
required an affidavit OF the young
man to the effect that he was of
age. And if the young man in
that case now desired to take ad-
vantage of the fact that his
guardian did not consent to the
issuance of license, he would be
confronted with the dilemma of
charge of perjury on account of
his affidavit, and so be compelled
to rio something in justice of his
mistreated wife.
1t may be said that at the time
this marriage license was issued
Mr.. Voight was not as efficient as
he has since become and that any
man might make mistake and
profit thereby. Let us continue
the investigation of Mr.. Voight's
record in this regard and see
whether he is capable of learning
by experience.
AS late as August, 1912. another
marriage license was issued by the
county clerk of Elko county, and
in this case designing man Of
mature years was preyinq upon
the credulity of one of the young
women of one Of the neighboring
Valleys Her father opposed the
union, and, resting secure as he
thought in the protection of the
law, did not take the steps he
might otherwise have done. The
mother, who too was misled in all
probability by the misrepresenta-
tions of the man in this case, and
who did not know men as did the
father, did file her consent to the
issuance of d license, end thereup-
on the license was issued, altho the
statute provides that il shall not be
issued except by the consent of the
father, unless it be that he is dead
or incspacitsted, neither of which
disabilities existed in this case, and
of which the county clerk must
have had full knowledge. This mar
riage has resulted most disastrous
ly, and has brought much pain
upon some very worthy people and
has resulted almost in the wrecking

any time may with his facile pen
issue an instrument which will
wrect your family beyond repair?
Can you feel as secure in this
regard as to the future Of your
boys, and especially of your girls,
as you should and as the law in
tends you should?
Another very important duty
vested by law in the county clerk
is taking care roperly of the
method of conducting elections.
Elections are very technical
matters, and irregularities in the
proceedings are apt to be of very
seri'us consequence not only to the
candidates but to the county and
state as we'll. In fact, with the
exception of the actual work in
court, the most important duty of
county clerk is his supervision of
elections and seeing that all of the
preliminary steps are done as pro-
vided by law; and as a matter of
fact this duty is more particular
than the work of the county clerk
in court, for, ordinarily, the
attorneys interested in cases are
apt to supervise the matter of the
orders and judgments in which
their clients are interested, but
the election responsibilities must
fall on the shoulders of the county
clerk alone.
Let us see now whether this
highly efficient county clerk the
most efficient county clerk Elko
county ever had met the re-
sponsibiIity imposed upon him in
the matter of the election which is
about to take place.
Section 1841 of the Revised
Laws of 1912 reads inpart as
follows:
Section 8. mot less than ten
days before an election to fill any
public Office or offices, the coonty
clerk shall cause to be published
all the nominations certified to or
filed with him. Said nominations
shall he published in a newspaper
printed within the county"
The intention of this statute is
obvious. 1t is to give to the people
at large an opportunity to know for
whom they shall have an op-
pnrtunity of casting their ballots
upon election day: to give them
time to weigh, consider, and dis
cuss the matter su that calm
reason and judgment may dictate
their vote. 1t is intended also
that every candidate legally quail
fed to be voted upon shall havean
opportunity to have his name
presented officially to the consider
alton and notice of voters before
they cast their ballot. 1t is mani
fest that all men who have been
legally nominated shou d be treat
ed with the same consi dernation.
Have they all received this con-
sideration this year from the
highly efficient county clerk of
Elko county?
On Friday, the 18th day of Oc-
tober, we were furnished with an
uns igned, uns?aled list of the
officers, supposed to have been
certified according to law to the
county clerk of Elko county, said
list Icing presumably an attempt
upon the part of Mr. Voight to
comply with the provisions of Sec
ton 1S41.. Eliminating the ex-
ecution Of the cert ficate which was
mistake that after all might
happen to anyone do we find the.
bst correct and all legal nominees
fairly treated?
