trailers were used and 23 tons deliv-

The road is one of the best he has

more dragging, to level up and free
the road of loose rocks, the full six

settles the hauling question for the

Parties have taken a lease on the

Creates Enthusiasm
SENATOR FROM NEVADA DELIVERS STIRRING ADDRESS
TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACTIONS II
LAND GRANT BIIIS-sPEAKs NATIONAL

Under the provisions of this bill a
citizen can locate 4 sections, have
and if he develops enough. water to
practically irrigate 20 acres he gets
one section for nothing as bonus
or in payment of service
My grant bill when introduced
by me did not contain the auction
clause. 1t was insisted upon by
every member of the senate. Sem
ator LaFollett led the fight for
such provision-IIe said that all
similar grants to other states since
1872 had contained such provision.
He said that the school should be
protected in the receipt of the full
value of the land or the bill should
not pass. So If you want the grant
for the schols you must accept it
with such provision. Senator Pitt
man called attention to the fact that
Congressman Roberts supported the
bill in the house of representatives,
and that every senator after a three
days debate voted for the bill.
Senator Pittman was preceded
by Edwin F.. Caine, Democratic
nominee for member of the house
of representatives; Judge j. A.
Sanders, nominee of the Democratic
convention for the office of asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court
of Nevada, who addressed the au-
dience briefly, as 1t was necessary
| for them to leave the meeting in
order to catch train at Cauents
for a campaign tour Of Clark coun-
ty. Both these candidates were en-
Enthusiastically received as was Will
| liam Kennett, Democratic nominee
for clerk of the supreme court.
Judge itorsey acted as chairma i
of the meeting.
Senator Pittman addressed a
meeting at Panaca Sunday after
noon and was the chief speaker at
a rousing rally at Caliente Sunday
'evening At the latter meeting Sen
ator j. A. Denton acted as chair
man.

A. GRANT MILLER TO
SPEAK HERE SUNDAY

Next Sunday evening, at Thomp
sons hall, A. Grant Miller, Social
list candidate for United States SEN
ator, will speak upon the issues of
the campaign.
Miller was candidate for tn
same Office two years ago and poll
ed a total of 5451 votes. In this
campaign he is creating great
deal of enthusiasm and leaders of
his party are fervent in predicting
his election over Platt and Pittman.
Miller is opposing in his speeches
the Pittman land grant bill every
where he goes and at the same
time does not hesitate to pay his
respects to the administration OF
President Wilson and to the candi-
dacy of Charles Evans Hughes, the
Republican nominee for president
Miller is a splendid orator ant
ranks among the best in Nevada. NJ
matter what a persons political be
liefs may be, his address will be well
worth hearing. He will speak al
Panaca Monday afternoon and al
Caliente in the evening.

known to all, and is good citizen.
is engaged in farming and livestock
business. Mr.. Stewart has held one
political office in this county having
served as a member Of the board of
county commissioners, in which ca
pacity he was found to always per-
form his duty as he saw it for the
interests of all the people of the
county. He ran for the office for
which he now seeks two years ago,
but was defeated by Senator M. L..
Lee by the narrow margin of 23
votes. Should he be successful in
upper house of the Legislature at
Carson City not entirely inexper-
fenced, for he served as member
of the Utah legislature before he
took up his permanent residence in
Nevada a number of years ago, and
is therefore, we'll fitted to carry out
the wishes of his constituency. He
was nominated by the Democratic
convention which met at Phoebe or
September 10th, without opposition
his party having selected him al
the one best qualified to for the sen
atorial race. Mr.. Stewart has beel
successful as business man, ant
the old saying that "the man VIII
has been successful as busines
man makes the safest lawmaker
applies to Mr.. Stewart.

One of the best political speeches
ever heard in Phoebe was the one
delivered at Thompsons hall last
Saturday night by Senator Key
Pittman. The senator defended the
in the strongest terms and appealed
to the voters to retain the present
chief executive of the nation for
another four years. He discussed
to some length the great national
issues of the campaign.
He defended his acts in reference
to the land bills introduced by him
self in congress, for which he had
been criticized by his opponents.
Senator Pittman contended that
the land bill, while of importance
to the state was a very small mat
ter in comparison to the many great
issues. He. expressed regret that
his opponents would not take a
SldHu w llC SlCdl quootloho VI lilC
day.
My record shows wehere stand.
| would like to know where my op-
ponents stand" In discussing the
land grant bill Senator Pittman
said
There are 7O,OOO,0O0 acres Of
land in Nevada of which the govern
ment still owns sixty-two million
acres There are two questions,
First, get some money for the
schools out of some of the land.
Second, settle the land. The nation
al laws have so far failed to settle
the land In fifty years we have on
ly had one thousand homesteaders.
I passed at the same time three
bills to accomplish such purposes;
viz: the grant bill to raise perma-
nent fund from the interest on
which we might support the public
schools and the university-S0 ep.
cent to the schools and 20 per cent
to the university Another bill to
permit homesteading by annual i'm.
provement without the necessity OF
residence. Another bill to encour
age discovery and development Of
artesian and subsurface waters
