WHEN A PROGRESSIVE
IS REPUBLICAN

The case of the State of Nevada
ex rel George B. Thatcher against
George Springmeyer and Richard
Mckay, raising the question as to
whether Mckay having filed for at
torney general OF the Republican
ticket could withdraw and whether
Springmeyer, having fled as d pro.
gressiVe could also file as a Repub-
lican, came up for argument before
the Supreme court this morning,
Attorney General Thatcher and
Judge w. w. Griffin representing
the petitioner and Sardis Summer
field, George SprinRmeyer, and
Richard McKav representing the
re respondent.
Mr.. Slmmer6eld commended for
the respondents that the statuteas s
broad enhugh to slluw-Mr Mickey
to Withdraw if he so desired, and
that Mr.Sprinemeysr could file as
a Republican as we'll as a Progress.
|siye claiming that the Republican
party and the Progressive party
had really fused in Nevada.
The attorney general contonded
that the statute was mandatory as
/ 1919
to the affidavit to be filed BY
Springmeyer and that he could not
file two afidayits consistently.
Judge Griffin argued that there
was no showing of fusion and that
none existed anywhere SIS q fact
that law was 81 binding on Spring
meyer as OF any one else and that
the court having decided in the
Keith case that an elector rouldnot
lchange his party affiliations after
giving one at the time of registra-
ton certainly as a candidate could
not. He cited the appointment of
Flethcer as . Progressive by Gov
ernor 0ddie to show that there was
no fusion of the two parties what
ever, thus recognizing the Progress
lsiye party as q party Appeal.

USE BORll

AS q result Of experiments, the
specialists Of the department of
agriculture have discovered that q.
small amount of ordinary borax
spriukled daily ON manure will
effectively prevent the breeding Of
the typhoid or house ly. Similarly,
the same substance applied TO gar
bage, refuse, open toilets, damp
floor and crev.ces in stables. cellar
or markets, will prevent fly eggs
from Matching. Borax will not kill
tha adult fly nor prevent it from
laying egg, but its thorough use
will preve, 1T any further breeding.R
The in, ,estigation, which includ-
ed experiments with many sub
stances was undertaken to discover
means OF preventing the breeding
of flies in horse manure as a fertil-
izer for use by the farmer. 1t was
felt that it some means of prevent.
ing The breeding of flies near a
human habitation could be devised,
the diseases spread by these filthy
germ carriers could be greatly re-
duced While the Swat the fly
campaign" traps and other devices
for reducing the number of typhoid
carrying flies are of value, they are
of less Importance than the proven
+tion of the breeding. 1t was realiz-
ed however, that no measure for
preventing the breeding of flies
would come. into common use un-
less it was such that the farmer
could use it on his manure pile
without destroying it's usefulness
for growing plants, and without
Introducing into the soil any SUBJ
stance that would interfere with
his crops.
