ELLIS BEGINS
CAMPAIGN HERE
Candidate for G.. o. p. NOmina-
ton for Governor Talks to
Factory Employees

Mayor George Ellis, Of Grand Rap
ids, opened his campaign for the Re
publican nomination tor governor in
Detroit, Wednesday noon. speaking
Informally to the employees OF the
Fisher Body Co. He discussed chiefly
questions OF interest to labor.
The oest laws passed for labor in
the past he told the men. have
been declared unconstitutional by
tn ecourts. The best thing that you
can do and one which you should
most insist upon is that IL be made
the duty OF the supreme court to pass
upon the constituionality OF propos-
ed laws before they are adopted and
see that they are drafted in proper
form. No reform would be more ben
eft TO labor than that"
Referring 10 the conditions OF work
in the paper mills of Kalamazoo and
other towns, the speaker advocated
the passage of statutes which will
make il impossible that men can be
worked II hours day 800 days in
the year so that their physical
strength is Slapped, throwing them and
their children, perhaps, upon the state
as public charges"
The reason that Mr.. Ellis chose the
Fisher Body Co. as the place TO begin
the factory campaign that he expects
TO make OF the state is that about 100
former Grand Rapids men are en-
ployed there.
They say" he said, that one
should ask how a candidate stands at
home and il he is we'll thought of
there he is worthy Of support in 9TH
er places. All | want OF you is that
you ask the boys from Grand Rapids
about me and about what the city
administration there stands for.
Ellis then contrasted his reelection
as mayor FIVE times with the single
terms served by the last three mayors
of Detroit, and called attention TO his
part in handling the Grand Rapids
furniture strike, mentioning, too( in
cidentally, the appointment of labor
representatives on all the committees
named by him as mayor
He told the men that he proposed
10 come directly 10 them and not try
10 reach them through politicians
"Other candidates before me-" he
said have traflicked with the ward
bosses who agreed 10 deliver the
votes. They have flattered you before
election, fooled you on election day,
and forgotten you afteTward.'

American Road Congress in Atlanta,
Georgia, during the week Of Novem-
Der 8. viii include remarkable
series Of models showing every type
of rad construction from the mill
itary roads Of Imperial Rome down
] to the most modern types Of mar

productions Of the roads built by
the French Bourbons, by Napoleon,
rs well as the early specimens Of

Maeadam will make the series his
torically complete. This exhibit,
which is now being prepared by the

with the Congress, many Of the
states are arranging for education

materials Of construction. Mr..
Light states that although the con-
gress is nearly four months IF, res.
eryations have already been made
for the display Of road machinery,
engineering instruments, and mat
erials Of construction, sufficient to
fill completely the auditorium, as
an additional temporary structure
which will occupy the entire street
space extending for a city block and
two-thirds Of the available space in
a yiaiuct having a length Of two
city blocks.
The expenditure last year for
road construction and maintenance
throughout the United States, " says
Mr.. Light, was well over 1905,
100000 ard will soon pass the
quarter billion mark. In view Of
this great annual outlayit is almost
essential that road officials, contract
ors and manufacturers get in touch

QUO YADIS" AT
THE NIXON SUNDAY

"Quo vadis,'' that marvellous
photo drama spectacle that has made
the name of the producer, Mr.. George
kleine, already famous on this con-
tinent, and which has thrilled vast
audiences week after week in New
York, Chicago, Boston and Philadel-
phia and various other cities, is an
nounced at the Nixon for next Sun
day evening. That a rare treat is in
store for local amusement seekers is
a foregone conclusion as such wonder
full patronage and praise that has been
bestowed upon this attraction cannot
be without merit.
Many ministers and priests have
been noticeable in the audiences, par
tieularly in New York and Chicago,
and all have given the entertainment
their unqualified approval an en-
dorsement. Some of the pictures are
more than inspiring and imbue the
spectator with an unbounded rever-
ance for things that are sacred and
spiritual. According to all accounts,
one of the most striking figures among
the great list of actors is the charact-
er of Peter. 1t would be hard to find
another player who so perfectly rea-
hzes the general conception of this
noble man. The features of the actor
are perfect for the part and could not
have been better had they been chisel-
he'd ont of marbel or painted specially
for the production. His acting is at
all times in keeping with the beauty
Of the character and many critics
have pronounced the picture where he
is preaching to the Christians in the
cave, the most artistic and inspiring
OF the whole wonderful group. And
certainly no scene ever pictured or
portrayed upon the stage is more i'm
pressive or carries stronger weight
for good than that incident where the
figure of Christ appears to Peter and
.comma nds him to return to Rome. 1t
is splendid specimen of dissolving
photography and only one of a re-
markable group. In fact, it is said,
there are so many great scenes in this
glorious photo drama production of
Quo Vadis' it is difficult to pick
out any one to praise more than the
other.

1.-The Candy Shop" which was to
have appeared at the Nixon Monday
evening. cancelled the date Sunday
noon, but 3 hours before the curtain
should have gone up in the first act.
The house had been practically sold
out for the performance and yester-
day Manager Smith refunded between
800 and $500.
The Anderson Gaiety company clos
ed at Oakland Saturday evening, but
instead of starting east, where it had
bookings at Reno, Winnemucca, Og-
den and Salt Lake, left for Los An
geles. 1t is stated in the Reno papers
that Hurst Bros, managers of the
Majestic theatre, will begin suit
against the company for breach of
contract. Seen this morning by the
Silver State, and asked as to what ac-
ton he proposed to take in the prem
ises, Manager Smith stated that he
should send the Anderson Gaiety COM
pany a bill for the expense he had
been put to in billing the town, adver-
tising etc, and in case they refuse to
settle, will probably bring suit.
Sunday and Monday nights have
been provided with fine attractions.
"Quo vadis,' George Kleine's great
photo drama, will be put on Sunday
evening, and GA Bachelor Honey

attractions and should draw capacity

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

The impression is prevalent among
number in this community that the
members of the Womans Equal Fran
chise Society are fighting the liquor
interests. Rumors reach us every lit
tie while that we are seeking suffrage
for the express purpose of closing all
saloons. While il is gratifying to the
vanity to learn that there are some
who fear we can accomplish at one
"fell stroke what the Prohibition
lists have vainly attempted for de
cade, we feel we must put the sub
ject straight before the public.
The Woman's Equal Suffrage So
ciety is not political party nor is it
allied with any of the existing par
ties. We are simply asking for the
right to vote, because we thing it but
justice to have a voice in the govern
ment we help to support If we Sc
cure this privilege, we are bound by
no promise and will exercise our
right according to individual con
science. Some of the men interested
in the saloon business here have
shown us not only the greatest court
esy, but have helped us in various
ways.
If the persons who circulate these
stories will look up the history of
states that have given women the
ballot we think they will find they
are not any "dryer' than they were
before. Utah and Colorado, where
women have voted for years, are not
Prohibition states. San Francisco
voted on the liquor question last year
after women were admitted to the
polls and went wet by large major
ity.
We could cite many more examples
IL we had time ana space. All we
ask Is the truth. Give us square
deal.

BOARD Will MOVE
REDL|CHT DISTRICT

Last evening number of citizens
met with the county commissioners to
discuss the question of removing the
redlight" district and refusing to
grant the proprietors of the houses
liquor licenses. As matter of con-
venienee the meeting was adjourned
to the courtroom, and some 20 or 25
citizens were present, in addition to
the members of the board A petition
asking that the houses be moved and
their licenses revoked, signed by
III citizens, had been presented to
the board earlier in the day.
1t seemed to be the unanimous sen
timent of those present that the
houses should be moved, but when it
came to a question of where they
should be moved to there seemed to be
a diversity of opinion. Four locations
were suggested, namely, about one
hundred feet back of the present
site, with a high board fence to shut
off the view of the street; back of
Chinatown; between the Western Pa
cific tracks and the river, east of the
bridge, and west of the Western Pa
cific roundhouse.
1t is claimed by those who have
made study of the situation that on
an airline all the houses but one are
within the 400-yard limit specified by
law.
During the evening the audience
was considerably edited by two men
present, who took occasion to indulge
in personal "reminiscences of each 9th
er.
At the hour the Silver State goes to
press this afternoon, no official action
on the matter had been taken by the
board. However, from an informal
discussion by the members, it seemed
t. be the unanimous opinion that the
district shall be moved. 1t also seem
ed to be the opinion that no further
liquor licenses shall be granted the
houses. The present licenses are in
force until April l and it seems prob
able that at the next meeting all ap
plieations for licenses by keepers of
disorderly houses will be refused.

DECISION EXPECTED TOMORROW
ON DEMURRER TO INDICTMENT

Last evening Judge Robins complet-
ed his argument on the demurrer to
the indictment returned by the last
grand jury against DIR. G. Z. Hall.
Counsel raised two points, namely,
that indictment does not contain
statement of acts constituting alleg
ed offense in ordinary and concise Ian
guage to enable person of common
understanding to know what was in
tended; that the facts stated do not
constitute public offense. Judge
Ducker took the matter under advise
ment and decision is looked for to-
morrow.
