NOT INTERESTED
IN CONTEST

James D. Finch, returned to Reno
from San Francisco where he was In
conference with Senator Newlands
and denied that Senator Newlands
has taken any part whatever in the
local election contests fled in sever
al counties Of the state Senator
Newlands was elected on the face of
the official returns by 40 votes over
Sam Platt.
Senator Newland's attention was
called to a statement attributed to
Grant Miller" he said, "to the effect
that Mr.. Newlands had tried to pre-
vent election contests, particularly
that for Sheriff Of Washoe county.
l discussed this matter with the SEN
ator on Sunday in San Francisco. He
stated thai iro tE.sOu-=uUEl1tIL6 -uII,tf-
ever about the local election contests
or Of the purpose of Governor-elect
Boyle to appoint Sheriff A. A. Burke
as captain of the state police.
"He has nothing to do with local
election contests and has not even
been represented. None Of them can
effect the senatorship, directly or In
any way. At this time Senator New
lands Is taking no part whatever in
local contests, but IL it should come
about that contest on the senator
ship is started, he will be prepared
to defend his election.

.MENANcE oE BAD EYES

Many people think but little of the
consequences of bad eyes, unless
blindness or very sore eyes are
threatened or present, says the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
tion. But school children whose eyes
look all right but who have certain
diseases or defects that render study
and education hardship, may be
come q danger to other people. A
schoolchild, born with an undetected
cataract, or very nearsighted, SO that
he cannot see the blackboard, soon
falls behind his class and becomes
discouraged with his schoollife. A
child with far-sight, or astigmatism,
or some muscular defect of the eyes,
by which, when he studies his eyes
pain and he suffers from headache
will contract dislike for books,
study and education, and win perhaps
be punished or kept after school for
something for which he Ia really not
to blame. Such children, their edu
catlonai progress embarrassed or al
most stopped by reason OF incorrect
ed physical defects, soon acquire q
loathing for education and all that
education represents and, the seeds
OF idleness and irresponsibiiity being
sowD, may develop into criminals and
dependents.

OVER TWENTY BALLOTS
THROWN OUT IN RECouN'

The recount of ballots cast at the
recent general election for Frank
Walker and L. II. Beason, candidates
for assemblymen, has been in prog
ress at the court house yesterday and
today. 1t is expected that the count

ality was reduced four votes In the
precincts called for In the recount.
Sam Platt, candidate for the office
of United States senator on the Re-
publican ticket was an interested
spectator at the proceedings yester-
day and today. According to data
gathered In the recount, Mr.. Platt has
gained materially by the ballots
thrown out, and thus far 10 the gamer
by about IL votes In Lincoln county,
which would reduce the Newlandg
plurality in the state to under 80
votes. He win likely file contest

AUTOMOBILE MARKET

The future market for automobiles
rests not alone in this country, but
throughout the world, especially as
European makers are not likely to
produce their full quota for some time
Last year American automobile man
ufaeturers exported cars to the value
Of S26,574,000, with parts amounting
to- S8,eo0000, or total of $34,500, 900.
When 1t is taken into consideration
that France alone exported motor
cars to the value of $44,O00,OO0 last
year, with Germany and Italy totaiing
the same, 1t can be seen that world
wide trade is awaiting the automobile
makers Of this country.

WINS IN RECOUNT

.H bG SmALL. MAHGIN
AS a result of the recount in Lin
coin county, L. H. Beeson, Republi-
can, who was given majority over
Frank Walker, Democrat, OF sixteen
votes on the face of the official re-
turns, Is elected to the assembly by
a majority Of one. The court has
ordered that certificate of election
be issued to him. At Ely, White
Pine county, 1t is alleged that two
thirds of the ballots cast were marked
with lead pencils and that notwitb-
standing this none were discarded.
The reason for this Is said to lie in
the fact that someone made away
with all the rubber stamps and pads
used in marking the ballots and the
election board authorized the use of
lead pencils. It is claimed that the
supreme court has held that pencil
marked ballots cannot be counted.

warships of actual military value,
was explained today to the public
naval affairs committee by Rear Ad-
miral Blue, chief of the navigation
bureau OF the navy department. Ad-
miral Blue was telling the needs Of
the navy.
Referring to the fact that the de.
partment was still purchasing some
of its photographic charts from the
British government the admiral said
the United States was issuing more
and more such charts each year, and
that ultimately photographic chartine
by the United States would be as
complste as that Of any other nation.

that entire harmony prevails in the

possibility of defeat of our state ticket
is for democrats to feel this so far that

THANK GOD FOR WOOD
ROW WILSON,"

In the face of the fiercest detractiOn,
President Wilson brought about peace
in Mexico. He refused to declare war
against the unfortunate people of that
country, although the capitalists who
had exploited Mexico ard the republi-
can leaders IN and out OF Congress,
denounced MIN as cowardiy Incapable.
His wise policy OF ''watchfuI waiting
was condemned by partisan press.
But the President bided his time, con-
scious that the humanity which dlctat-
ed his course, would meet with the APP
proval of the people.
With Europe an Inferno, hundreds of
thousands dead and dying, homes de-
solated and innocent women and child
rem despoiled, the United States is at
peace with the world, a heaven for the
oppressed of all lands. When the
frenzy of war abates President Wilson
will be the arbiter to whom these dis
tracted countries can turn with as
surance that ne will deal justly with
them. He has already rendered his
good offices.
THANK God for Woodrow Wilson" is
universal prayer. 1t comes from the
hearts of millions of grateful people
who know the horrers of war and who
realize that this nation is indebted To
him for the blessings of peace.
1t must not be forgotten that the
President is on trial in the November
election. He has appealed to his party
to give him a democratic House anC
Senate, without whose support he
would be bound hand and foot. He | 4
given hearty personal endorsement tt
Governor Beckhan and Senator Camder
and the democratic nominees for Con
gress. A vote against any one of then
will be d vote against him.
