RENO, Nov. 6.-All doubt of Wa

city. William WOODBURY., Jr., made
one of the most effective addresses
OF the campaign in favor of the Dem

With one of the most enthusiastic re-

men who have spoken here. Miss
Helen Spring Robinson, state sena-
tor OF Colorado, spoke against the
Woman's party claims in ar effective
manner.
The controlling incident of the
evening was the final departure OF
George Kilborn, proprietor of the
Journal, after a verbal flashing by
WOODBURY.. Mr.. Kilborn's retreat
from the Grand theater was cloaked
in a fog of Kisses and jeers.
Considerably there was a luke
warm Republican meeting at the Ma
jestic theater, where the audience
saw moving pictures of Hughes eat

crowd fer an hour explaining tn,
