CAMPAIGN BALL
A BIG AFFAIR.

The campaign ball given at the
Bradley Opera House last evening
was a decided success from a social
standpoint While the party was sup
posed to be in the nature of a nom
partisan affair, 1t may be said that 1t
was democratic, because of the pres
ence of large number of State and
County Democratic candidates. Among
the State candidates present were:
Governor-elect Boyle, who is particul-
arly popular among Elko ladies.
Leonard B. Fowler was also present
and executed few stunts in the art
of tangoing, which startled the crowd,
just as he will startle and impress
the people of Nevada by his clean ad-
ministration when he goes to Con-
gress to represent them. Jude. b. r.
Coleman, candidate for the Supreme
bench, was quite conspicuous figure
among those at that dance. Judge
Coleman who is a married man, for
got all cares and enjoyed himself BY
an unamious vote the next Supreme!
Judge of Nevada was declared Pride
of the Ball" Ed Malley, candidate
for State Treasurer, who halls from
Tonopah, was also noticed at the par
ty. Malley, like Coleman, is also a
married man, but when away from
home, and especially on a campaign
trip, believes in cultivating the ac-
quaintances of the ladies, even II they
cannot vote at the coming election.
When questioned today about the
dance, Joe Farnsworth denied having
been present. Joe is a printer, and
knowing him as well as we do, we
are inclined to believe he handled the
truth little recklessly. Among the
ladies Farnsworth is quite modest
and very bashful, because of the fact
that his better half down at Carson
is keeping closer tab on him than he
is keeping on the voters.
Most favorable comments are ex4
tended to Mrs. L. L. Bradley, manager
of the Opera House. Hale's Orches-
ira is given special praise, and those
strangers present have nothing but
kind words for the hospitality Of Elko
people. @

What the Republican Press
Thinks of Geo. Springmeyer

That name was the name of Hugh
Brown. They wanted him on the tick
,et, and to that end good republicans
from all parts of the state importuned
him to enter the fight At last, much
against his will but yielding to the
call of his party. he allowed himself
to be presented to the Republicans of
Nevada as a candidate for attorney
general.
But another element had injected
itself into the campaign, the element
of hatredd and bitterness and injus-
tice. That element came in the per-
son of George Springmeyer, young
attorney who, four years ago, had
managed to obtain the republican
nomination for the same Office and
who had been badly defeated. He
made his oyertures to many men
whom he had since been dencuncing
but they, believing Hugh Brown to
be stronger man for the party, told
him they would support Hugh Brown.
Then began the campaign, which for
many years, has been without a paral-
lei in this State.
From one end of Nevada to the
other, day and night, George Spring
meyer has gone uttering words of in
fanny about his opponent and about
the same men to whom he had pre-.
viously made overtures for their sup
port. No charge was too black for his
tongue, no word too foul, no false
hood too shameful. He enlisted the
support of the Democratic press of
the state and by supplementing the
Democratic newspapers with circular
letters he has flooded the mails with
his frenzied venom. Wherever he
has gone he has left his trail of mud,
mud which was conceived in a blank
heart and issued by a depraved tom
gue
The Republicans of Nevada had
hoped that the primary campaign
would be clean campaign, cam
paign of such a nature that when the
NoJ hNtAO"ih6 lhO ptlLldEy CdIlS J06y
could be man take off their coats
and roll up their sleeves for the
whole ticket. Along that line, Hugh
Brown told his opponent that he
would probably be unable to make the
canvass of the state, but assured him
that ii he did he would never say an
unkind word of his opponent. MOT nm
TIL George Springmeyer began his
campaign of villifcation did the Re-
publicans of Nevada serve notice on
him that they would not tolerate the
methods OF the mud singer and that
they repudiate his candidacy Since
that time the attacks have increased
in vileness, and no word, no charge,
no falsehood that he could think of
has been left unspoken. And more as

INSURRECTOS WANT
GARCIA SADDLES

There is one man in Elko who is
.profiting by the state of war now 60
ing on in Mexico. The man is question
is G. S. Garcia, a native of that coun-
try, who is known all over the west
as the maker of the famous Garcia
saddles. Mr.. Garcia is just now en-
gagged in deal with the leaders of
the Mexican revolutionary party to
furnish them with 500 of Elko-made
saddles for their cavalry. 1t is highly
probable that the deal will go through
and If 1t does it will be big adver-
tisement for Elko and also a big in
crease in business for Mr.. Garcia. Mr..
Garcia's products are rapidly being
recognized all over the western hemi-
sphere and in part of the eastern as
the best thing obtainable in saddles
and harness. He now numbers his
customers by the hundreds and num-
bers of orders come from people many.
thousands of miles away.

HOME
OF DEVIL FOUND

According to an article by J. A.
Delameter in the Las Vegas Age. an
Indian cave, known in Indian legends
as the Home of the Devil" has been
rediscoyered. The article follows:
There is an Indian legend handed
down from generation to generation
that great natural cave exists in
what are known as the Frenchman's
hills east and north of Las Vegas.
The writer of this article had heard
this story repeated so often that he
came to the conclusion he would in
vestigate and see if there was any
foundation for the legend, and. after
repeated failures. finally succeeded in
locating the cave.
1t is, indeed, a great natural won
Ter. The Indians have belief that
the devil lives in this cave and no
money inducement will attempt them
to enter its dark portals, for they be-
ieve the daring spirit who enters this
cavern will never return to the light

Your scientists did not spend

could stew in your little glass

dissolve in your acids, things you
could dissect with your knives.
