ASKS SUPPORT FOR WILSON

The Locomotive Fremens and Engineers Magazine for November,
son eight-hour law, says in part:
1T must be clear to every nan who earns a living as a railroad en-
poye that in voting against Mr.. Hughes a the coming election he is vo-
ing for better wage and employment conditions, for the protection OF his
home and freside, and the furtherance of the wenbeng of his family and
himself. We have absolutely no doubt that Mr.. Hughes owe his nomina-
ton to Wall Street, to the powers of wealth and special privilege, to
the big employing interest-in short, to the master lass-and that these
interests are spending enormous sum of money in an effort to elect him
president of the United States.
"Why is it that the manufacturers associations, chambers of com
merce, n-uni employers and all the interests that are opposed to
organized labor ire so actively and earnestly supporting Mr.. Hughes
candidacy for the presidency?'
1t is the claim of the National Womens party that it has no candi
date; yet it is concentrating every effort toward the. defeat of Wilson
and Hughes is the only mar who has the slightest chance to beat
him. 1t seems to be a distinction without a difference.
An od-tme lawyers suggestion to a young disciple of Blackstone
vas that when you have neither law or evidence your side, abuse
the witnesses" That seems to be the Republican argument. the present

WHAT DID MR.. PLATT SAY?

This is dedicated to the sane, sensible, thinking loyal and patriotic
women voters of Nevada.
YOU KNOW that Senator Pitman favored and fought for equal
rights for women in 1910, 1912, 1914 and 1916. The first campaign plat
form he "a n contained a plank demanding equal suffrage for the
women of Nevada. In 1914 he OPENED THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE
WOMEN OF THE STATE WITH A RINGING DECLARATION IN
FAVOR OF EQUAL RIGHTS.
Mr.. Plat vas a candidate against Senator Newlands w years ago.
WHAT DID HE SAY IN FAVOR OF EQUAL RIGHTS?
according o the letters written by Anne Martin to Senator Pttnan,
the latter is "NEVADAS FOREMOST CHAMPION OF EQUAL
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN" That as before Wall Street demanded that
a few of the women organize a separate political organization o assist
in defeating President Wilson.
Before you cast your ballot IN election day ask yourself this question:
Then ask yourself another question: IF SAM PLATT BOWED
THE KNEE TO RENO MASTERS AND REFUSED TO SAY ONE
WORD IN FAVOR OF SUFFRAGE IN l9l4-WHAT WOULD HE
DO IN THE SENATE WHERE HIS MASTERS WOULD BE MEN
LIKE PENROSE, SHOOT. GALLINGER, ROOT AND OTHERS
WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE IRREVOCABLY OPPOSED TO EQUAL
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN?
Senator Pinman has done his best He has fought for you when
your did not make him frends-n other words he has proven him
self your friend
1t is true that Senator Phtman-after a hard fight failed to prevail
upon his party to put the Susan B. Anthony plank in its platform.
Mr.. PLATT WAS A DELEGATE ON THE FLOOR OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. WHAT DID HE SAY
IN FAVOR OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN BEFORE THAT CON-
VENTION? The Republican platform practically declares against the
Susan B. Anthony amendment. Why doesn't Miss Martin fight Mr..
Plat? Let Wall Street answer.
If you believe in fair play and gratitude for work honestly and faith
fully performed-VOTE FOR SENATOR P1TTMAN.

If Sam Platt and Grant Miller are sincere in their opposition to- the
Pittman land grant bill why do they center all their attacks IN Senator
Piuman and overlook the partt that Representative Roberts has taken in
the passage of the measure?
So far as Senator Piuman is concerned his connection with the land
grant bill is at an end. He succeeded in getting it through the United
States senate and it is now in the committees of the house of representa-
ties awaiting favorable or unfavorable action before being returned to
the floor of the house for final action, and its fate probably depends on
the recommendations of the committees. II Representative Roberts re-
mains true to pledge Ire will lead the fight for the passage OF the bill in
the coming short session of congress in both committee and OF the floor,
but in the whole campaign in this state not a word of censur has been
hurled at him for the action he has already taken regarding the bill nor
for any action that he may take in the future. The guns have all been
trained at Pitman.
If Senator Phtman pushed the land bill through the senate at the be-
hest of the stock interests of the state, as the opposition charges, Repre-
sentative Roberts is as reprehensbe as he, because he directed its love-
mets in the house, and from the act that he has never been held up for
censure by Sam Plat, Grant Miller, the Reno Gazette and the Reno Jour
nal indicates only too plainly a concerted purpose, and probably a con-
spiracy, to defeat Senator Pitman for reelection. If Pat, Mier, the
Gazette and Journal we're honest in their endeavors they would not make
fish of one and fowl of the other.
But their work has been too transparent and will not stand the light
of day.

A DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE

Republicans in Nevada concede the election of Wilson and are only
making the fight low against Senator Pittman. AS a result the fight is
bitter-drowningm men struggling for the straw.
In the meantime Senator Pittman is making a magnificent campaign.
The true features of his land bill are becoming familiar o the people and
wherever he speaks the crowd tenders him a n ovation.
After al, it is not a strange condtion-we have maintained from the
beginning that the people would reward merit. Senator Pittman has
worked hard for the people. He has earned these splendid tributes he e.
ceives and when election day has passed it will be found that this ap-
plause has been backed by ballots and that he is returned Is a represen-
tatwe OF the people by a popular vote that will make the defamers i'll for
ome time.
