SOUTHNEVADAfO
PLATT AND ROBERTS
Especial TO the Silver state)


LAS VEGAS. Oct. 9.--Las Vegas
and Southern Nevada cannot get a
surfeit of Republican doctrine, as
demonstrated Saturday night at Gold
field, where the Hippodrome theatre
was filled with over twelve hundred
men and women and the rear of the
house was packed to the doors. Over
half the audience was composed of
women, who declared themselves en-
thusiastic followers of the Republi-
can party as the only vehicle that
will insure universal suffrage at the
next session of Congress. They were
vocferous in their applause, but the
most significant feature was the
presence of several score OF Demo-
Gratis from Tonopah who wanted to
hear Sam Platt and Ed Roberts
again declare themselves on the vital
issues of the campaign. This section
of the audience had been piloted over
by Branch Smith. formerly an active
Democratic leader. and Ivan Arnold,
another prominent member of the
same party.
When Platt asked. after reciting a
catalogue of Democratic failures, Il
ask you as Americans, not merely
as Democrats and Republicans, are
you going to give such an admins
tration four years more of power?
say No." there was a roar that thun-
dered through the house Platt ex-
planned that under the proposed Pitt
man land law a man. after finding a
place with water suitable for farm
q
against all the state. and added: I'VE
do not want the government to give
us lands with which we can do moth
ing, but to appropriate millions with
which TO rehabilitate the state in
order that the poor homesteader may
have a chance to make an honest liv-
ing"
Roberts declared himself the friend
OF labor, as demonstrated at every
session of Congress which he attend
ed. which fact was further proven by
a letter from Representative Nolan.
the labor leader of Congress. who ac-
knowledged his helpfulness in franz
ing and carrying through legislation.
At Las Vegas Congressman Roberts
made protection a local issue when
nf Noiu VI nlc tihllH OI btidil VI ilit
zinc industry, and he aroused enthu
siasm when he reported progress foi
Las Vegas in getting a $4,000 appro-
priatiOn for federal building site in
the general appropriations bill. He
read documents from the railroad
brotherhoods and from labor leaders
in Congress vouching for his unvary-
ing support of all labor measures.
The large attendance of railroad
men understood the record, as their
leaders had already received corrobo-
ration and they gave Roberts spon-
taneous applause.
Sam Platt's fidelity TO labor inter-
ests during his two terms in the legis-
lature was also remembered by the
railroad men and il did not require
the reading of an endorsement from
the brotherhood of trainmen and the
order of railroad conductors to bring
forth applause.
