lively, addressed an audience of Elko
voters at the Hunter Theatre last
night. Messrs. Miller and Morgan

Socialists here but as their audience
was composed mainly of So
cialists who are already supporting
that ticket, they did not make many
conversions to their cause. However
these gentlemen are both good speak
ers, especially Mr.. Miller, who is one
Of the best orators in the state, and
their addresses were interesting to
even those who were lined UP against
them In political matters.

BRADENTOWN BOND ELEC-
TION HELD ILLEGAL

Bradentown, March 27.-At a
special meeting of the board OF COM
missioners held in BradentOWn to
canvass the returns of last Tues
days election for the issuance OF
$4,000 worth of bonds for bridge
building purposes, 1t was found that
the election was illegal, and was so
declared. In a number of precincts
there were greater number OF
votes cast than there were qualified
electors. 1t is not thought that this
wholesale voting was the result of a
preconceived plan to defeat the prop
osition, but rather ignorance on the
part of the election officers and the
people. The commissioners, all of
whom were for the proposition, de-
cided that inasmuch as the will OF
the people was not entirely clear,
that il would be wisdom to leclare
the eection illegal.

Washington, March 27-There is
pronounced stir in political and
official circles here caused by Speak
er Champ Clark's statement last
night opposing special rule to limit

are caustic in criticism. Chairman

President Wilson at his desk in
the White House received reports Of
the progress of the fight in the
House. He is confident that his
statement last night that he was
asking no man to change his opinion
but merely to correct wrong situ-
alton would win the day. AS the de-
bate continued today the situation
became more tense and bitter feel
ing between the contending factions
cropped out in many sharp passages
between members.
President Wilson has won the pre-
liminary fight for the repeal of the
canal tolls exemption. The House
voted 200 to 172 in favor of limiting
debate on the Sims bill to twenty
hours. Actual debate on the bill
then began. The previous question
calling for an immediate vote on the
rule when the House met today, was
carried by vote of 207 to 176. Ma
jority Leader Underwood led the op-
position to this motion and called
upon Democrats to support the Dem
ocratic platform. Representative Ad-
amson, leading the fight for tolls re-
peal, answered by calling for the sup
port of Democratic doctrine as it
has been snce Jefferson. On both
votes party lines were disregarded.
