These are the Men to Send
to the Legislature

On the eve of one of the greatest
political battles in Nevada, many
questions arises relative to the merits
of the various candidates on both
tickets. Both parties have placed a
full and complete ticket in the field
for the most careful consideration Of
the voters.
We wish to call particular atten-
ton to the Elko county democratic
legislative ticket. A. w. Hesson. who
heads the county tickt, is a man who
has resided in the county for years.
His interests are here. He ie a man
whose character is beyond reproach,
and man who will enact laws for
the very best interests of the people
of Elko County and the state. A vote
for Mr.. Hesson means a vote for a
clean, honorable, competent and hon
est man.
e. C.. Riddell, of Star Valley, is al
most two well-known to need an ex-
tended introduction from the columns
of this paper. Mr.. Riddell has been
a resident of the county for years.
He has served in the capacity of
legislator in the past, and his record
in the performance of duty, has been
most capable and efficient He is
thoroughly conyersant with the needs
of Elko county, and if elected State
Senator, the people can depend that
he will be found on the right side.
Mr.. Voter, you can do no better than
supporting e. c. Riddell for State
Senator.
For members of the assembly the
democrats have placed five men in
the field. They are men who can be
depended upon to do their duty to-
ward their constituents and toward
society. They are men who would not
stoop in an endeavor to enact or re-
peal law which would blacken the
fair name Of Nevada.
Fred G. Voight has been a public
servant of Elko in the capacity of
county clerk for two terms. He has
performed his duties well and faith
fully. If sent to the Legislature Fred
G. Voight will return home after the
session with clean hands and rec

EMMETT D. BOYLE THE
MAN FOR GOVERNOR

We present to our readers Emmett
d. Boyle, Democracy's candidate for
Governor. AS the Republicans are
crying Justify the slogan, Nevada for
Nevadans,", we call their attention to
the fact that if they are sincere, and
consistent in this cry they must vote
for Emmett d. Boyle, for he was born
and reared in this state-brought up
with the smell of sagebrush in his
nostrils and the roar of the quartz
mill and the miners pick and drill
in his ears. 1t is not out of place at
this time to give a brief biography
of Mr.. Boyle: Emmett d. Boyle was
born in Virginia City in 1879; is the
son of Col. E. d. Boyle, the we'll,
known Comstock mine superintendent
and for many years State senator
from Story county. He attended
school in Gold Hill and entered the
University of Nevada in 1895, gradu-
ating from the mining school when
19 years of age. Mining being in the
slump in Nevada at that time young
Boyle went to British Columbia, where
he followed practical mining, later be-
coming an engineer on the staff of
the British America Corporation, op-
grating. the famous mines of Ross
land. An opportunity to better him
self presenting itself Boyle left Ross
land in 1901 for Mexico, where he
became, first, civil engineer, then
mine superintendent for the Esper-
ANA Mining company in Ell Ora, the
greatest gold mine in Mexico. His
father dying in 1902, he returned to

GRIDLEY FLOUR REPoSES
IN THE SAME SACK

That the Gridley sack of flour, the
famous relic presented by Mrs. Grid
ley Woods and her daughter to the
Historical Society at the his
torical pageant at the university to-
day. is a story that has gained cir
culation. 1t was said that the origin
al -four was made into biscuits.
Miss Jeanne E. Weir, director of the
pageant and professor of history at
the University of Nevada, says that
Mark Twain made mistake when he
wrote that the Gridley flour had been
made into hot cakes. The sack of
flour has been continuously in charge
Of the Gridley family and although
the flour long since became a mass
of dead weevils, it is still the old or
iginal

Nevada and has since been identified
with the development of the State. He
is we'll known throughout the mining
sections as a result of his experiences
as a mining engineer.
In 1910 he was appointed State
Engineer and served in that capacity
until 1911, when he resigned to re-
sumo his private practice. In 1913
he was appointed on the Tax Commis-
sion and served as the most active
member of that board until recently
when he resigned to enter the race
in the primaries, at the urgent and
insistent request of his friends, for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
crnor This nomination he won by
big majority over one Of the strong
est men in the state.
In his capacity as state engineer
and also member of the tax commits
sion, both positions of which he filled
with credit alike to himself and the
state, he gained a knowledge of the
state, it's resources and its needs,
that will prove invaluable to him in
his capacity as Nevada's next Cover
nor.
Mr.. Boyle is a clean, energetic and
upright young man, and is fitted in
every respect to uphold and honor the
great state OF Nevada. In his canvass
of the state he has everywhere met
with a hearty and cordial reception
and his tour of the state has been
marked by such a rousing enthus-
iasm as to pressage his election as
governor on November Sd.

REX THEATRE
QUITS BUSINESS

a change in local circles which
created quite furry was announced
today when it was made known that
the Rex Theatre closed Sunday night
and suspended business perman-
emily 1t was also announced that
the Rex Orchestra which is so popul-
ar among Elko Theatre goers, will in
the future play at the Bradley Opera
House. The management of the Brad
ley will also take over the fixtures Of
the Rex. .-.....
The Rex has been in business here
for some time and has been a pop
ular place but the town is rather
small for two theatres and they were
unable to make great deal of money
out OF the venture. The gentlemen
who were in control Of the theatre
were also musicians and furnished
their own music and the fact that they
will continue to play at the Bradley
will be good news locally Mrs Brad
ley, Of the Bradley Opera House says
that with the new addition of the new
orchestra and better service all
around, she intends to give the peo-
pie Of this city the best form of enter
tainment they ever had.
Mrs. Brady wishes to correct ru-
NOR which has been going around
town to the effect that the Rex and
the Bradley had consolidated. She
states that she has purchased the fix
lures of the Rex and the. Bradley will
be run as usual under her exclusive
control and management.

run through, changing crews at some
