containing SIS in bills from her. Mrs.
Guyan had just, stepped out of her
room for a moment this morning and

story seemed plausible. However,
Mrs. Guyan made a search of the room

says that recently he has had sever

strange that the yermin should ven

BOYLE'S CHARACTER is
BEYOND LEAST STAIN

1t is a most significant fact that
the opponents of Emmett d. Boyle,
candidate for governor. have been
driven to the wall of despair, and
compelled to search the maze of con
lecture and hypothesis for arguments
against his claims to election.
Throughout this campaign no word
has been spoken against the record
of this man, who stands pre-eminent
before his soverigns as their logical
selection for governor. strictly upon
that record-a record of actual
achievements; achievement not of a
personal property nature, but upon
behalf of those soverigns in whose be-
half he has. conscientiously and sue
cessfully labored as a public Official
of this state.
Under captain Battles He Has
Waged For The Taxpayer there
is an unwritten history of Emmett
D. Boyle's accomplishments on their
behalf stored in the memory of the
citizenship of Nevada.
The vindictive attacks upon him
by Governor oddie and his fellow
ers is inspired largely by the hope of
victory in an appeal to the few bar
ons of great properties upon the re-
sources of whom Mr.. Boyle has been
instrumental in throwing the just
proportion of taxes. in his repeated
efforts for equal taxation.
Note to what extremeties of polit-
ical strategy Mr.. Bolye's opponents
are driven. Unable to attack Mr..
Boyle upon his public record. they
have manufactured. by hypothesis and
conjecture, the platform of open
gambling, and have devoted almost
a months time of the campaign to
