state. arrived in Goleonda yesterday
afternoon, after an auto trip from
Battle Mountain, where they spoke
Tuesday evening They spoke from
their machine and were attentively
listened to by a large crowd.
The start for Winnemucca was
made at 5 O'Clock When within a
few miles of town they were met by
a party of local Republicans, occupy
ing four machines, and escorted in.
Tn the evening, while the local band
played and a large bonfire was burn
inf at the intersection of Third and
Bridge streets, the Nixon opera house
filed up with crowd that comfort
ably filed both the down stairs and
gallery.
At $50 the speakers marched out
on the stage, accompanied by num-
Der of local Republicans, and were
given generous applause. In addition
to the four candidates, there were
seated on the platform l.. g. Camp
bell. chairman of the Humboldt Coun-
ty Republican committee; George w.
summerfeld, the retiring chairman,
County Commissioner Haviland, f. j.
Button, w. G.. Adamson, J. r. Har
vey, Floyd Harman, Republican can
didate for the assembly, and l.. G..
Wilson.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Campbell who, in neat ad
dress, discussed all the candidates
presented by the Republican party.
The chairman then introduced as
the first speaker of the evening
Governor Tasker L. Oddie.
OF pleasing appearance and with
part of the house, the Governor in
stantly won the hearts of his hearers
and explained the difficulties that had
been encountered by Republican ex
ecutive surrounded by eight out of
eleven Democratic elective state off
cials. The speaker made no attempt
at oratory, but stated facts.
The following statements were re-
eeived with loud applause:
81 feel that | have made good as
governor, and ask you to retain me in
office for another four years.
"The cost of state government is
too high, and the only remedy lies in
your electing Republican state Off
cals and Republican Legislature to
hack up their efforts.'
"In all the disputes between en-
ployer and employe that have oc-
cured during my term, | have per-
sorally made careful investigation.
As ever, ! stand for right and Justice
and for law and ORDER
81 was instrumental in securing
from the last legislature an Industrial
Insurance law which, while not per-
feet, is a step in the right direction
Succeeding legislatures may amend
this law to remedy defects discovered
by its practical application.
Considerable indignation has been
expressed in Humboldt and other
counties of the state over the fact
that Convict Uric has been detailed
to drive the warden's ear. This man
was convicted in this county for a
heinous murder, sentenced to be hang
ed, which sentence was afterwards
communted to life imprisonment. I'M
der the ruling of the prison board the
warden has been given absolute con
troll of the internal affairs of the
prison and no power in the state can
dictate matters of discipline to him. =
My Democratic opponent is re-
ported to have declared that should
the Legislature pass laws restoring
legalized gambling and easy divorce,
he will not veto them. I wish to
state to you positively that if such
a bill ever comes up to me for approx
al, | shall promptly exercise my pre-
rogative of the veto power.
Following Is synopsis of the prin-
eipal points made by Governor Oddie
in his Commute address:
Boyle, candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket, read the
Governor from a newspaper dispatch.
declared that Governor Oddie, while
laying blame for extravaganza on the
Democrats, himself had supported near
iy every measure carrying large ap.
preparations in the last four years.
although he could have vetoed any
measure voted by the legislature had
ne disapproved it.
That sounds plausible, said the
-''NAhof dt tut tOutfuSIOu VI tHC al
ticie. "The governor has the veto
power and can veto any bill that he
dlsapproves. 1t sounds perfectly
plausible. But what are the facts
Let me give them to you now.
"The constitution of the state pre-
seribes that the legislative session
shall begin on the third Monday in
January of each biennial year and
shall not exceed 60 days in length. On
any bill presented to the governor
during the session he is given five days
In which to approve it or veto it, OF
otherwise it becomes q law without
his signature. All bills which come
to him the last four days of the ses
sion he Ia given ten days on, follow
ing the expiration Of the session. Thai
