DEMOCRATIC MEETING
Delayed Candidates Address the
People of Eureka in the Opera
House Friday Afternoon

evening was postponed owing to the
Boyle-Fowler party being delayed by
auto trouble between Phoebe and Ely.
Chairman Joseph Rebaleati of the
County Central Committee received
a telegram asking that the meeting
in Eureka be postponed until the fol-
lowing day, but that the social dance
be given as announced.
A number of representative Dem
ocratic citizens left here about noon
in autos and met the Democratic
candidates on Pinto Summit, about
eve miles out on the road to Ely.
The party reached here about 1:30
o'clock, and after having dinner at
the Brown Hotel they repaired to
the Opera House, where a good sized
Eureka audience was waiting to hear
them discuss the political issues of
the present campaign and put forth
their candidacy for the offices to
which they were aspiring.
N. P. Morgan presided at the
meeting and briefly reminded the
voters of this section that in order
to carry out the Democratic policies of
government it was necessary to elect
Democrats to National and State Of
fees, and that the Democratic can
didates present were here to speak
for themselves. He then introduced
Emmett D. Boyle, candidate for Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Boyle briefly explained the
cause of the party's delay, and said
that as they were unable to change
the dates of the meetings ahead Of
them they must continue on to Aus
tin that afternoon as they were
scheduled to address the people there
that evening. Owing to the time of
the speakers being limited here his
address was short. He only touched
on the present form of the State gov
eminent, which he believed in the
past two years. when the population
had not increased, to have been ex-
travagant. and gave facts and fig
ures to substantiate his remarks. AS
a member of the Nevada Tax Com
mission he explained some of the ac-
tons of this body on taxation, and
gave his ideas on the equalization of
taxation.
Leonard B. Fowler, candidate for
Congress, was next introduced. Mr..
Fowler opened his remarks byexplain-
ing his presence in Eureka at the time
of the failure of the Eureka County
Bank. AS Deputy Attorney General
he was sent here with Bank Exam
liner Van Fleet, and his action in the
matter was entirely of an official ma
ture, and what he did was at the in
stance of the State Banking Board.
He made this statement in view of
the fact that he had been informed
that there was a feeling against him
in Eureka owing to his official actions
here at that time. AS a public Of
fetal he had performed a duty as
signed to him, and if this fuifillment
of duty was the cause Of his losing
votes here, he did not solicit them.
In his address he advocated the sup
port of Democratic policies. and that
Democratic Senator'S and Congress
men be sent to Washington to sup
port President Wilson. He pledged
himself to look first to the affairs and
wants of Nevada if elected to Con-
gress,
Ben w. Coleman. candidate for
Justice of the Supreme Court, fol-
lowed Mr.. Fowler. He is a forceful
and convincing speaker and a mar of
exceptionally fine physique. He
asked that his judicial record on the
bench be his recommendation for the
high office of Supreme Judge. He
said that he had been misrepresented
on the platform in regard to the
Purity of Election law, of which he
was the author. He contended that
this law as adopted had wrought
manifol benefits, was a step in the
right direction, and when amended
to overcome some of its defects,
would be above criticism. He prom
Used if elected to this high office to
dispatch with justice and energy the
duties it imposed.
Ed Malley, candidate for State
Treasurer. was the next speaker.
He said that this important office did
