FAKE FILM INSULT TO CHURCH

In their desperation the Hughes managers have prepared at great
expense an elaborate plan to inject the religious element into the national
campaign.
By means OF a faxed film in which the sacred garb OF Catholic nun
is worn by moving picture actresses who G o through the scenes Of a
alleged attack on a Mexican convent and then subjected to outrageous
brutality, al attempt is made to turn Catholics against the president.
If this fake film dealing with the Mexican disturbances was based o.
facts it would be bad enough, but most of the alleged incidents woven
miserable political purpose.
For this film, it is claimed and practically admitted by the Republ-
can managers, S35NO was paid to the arch faker of the film which he
calls '"historical'
From the beginning OF the campaign to the present time, the
airy and uascrupulous manipuators who have resorted to all sorts OF
unfair and dishonest methods in other campaigns.
In this final stroke they have overshot their W mark and given a
demonstration OF mean and low politics which has surprised even their
enemies.
But they have made a bunder this time. They have mistaken the
spirit of the American people w c believe. The bricks they have under
taken o throw will prove boonerangs which will destroy them.
Their faxed motion picture film with its unfair and insulting car<a-
tre OF the president must react on their w candidate and his cam

the crmine barely removed, car take part in such mean and petty politics

What is the record Of Mr.. Platt on the suffrage question? He had
every opportunity to support suffrage, but, during the campaign OF 1914,
he either opposed it r remained silent. He was a delegate to the Chi
cago convention, but its records show no effort by Mr.. Plat to foster or
support the federal amendment Upon what plea OF justice an the
women OF Nevada oppose Senator Putman and support Mr.. Plat?
There are three senatorial candidates before the people OF Nevada:
Senator Pittman, Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Plat. Senator Pttnan and Mr.
Miller have always been active and open in their support of suffrage.
while Mr. Plat has neither been active o open in rs support. Never
theless, the Womans party would support n who never helped us as
against two who always helped us.
Mr.. Game has always favored the cause OF suffrage; Mr. Roberts,
so far as his record is known, has v supported it; but the Woman
party asks the defeat OF Mr.. Game and the election OF Mr.. Roberts. Is
this justice Or fair dealng?-Extract from letter OF Helen T. Bedford.

committee of the Nevada Woman's Civic League.

THREE YEARS CT NAVAL PROGRESS

In his letter to Representative Williams Of Illinois, Secretary Dan
ies sums Il the record Of the Wilson administration in upbu1ding the
United States navy. After sixteen years OF Republican rule, nearly eight
under Roosevelt and four under Taft, it was short Of ships, short Of
men,, short of officers, short of munitions, short of aircraft and deficient
in target practice.
In the last three years not only has adequate provision been made
for new ships OF all classes, from supcrdrcadnaughts and battlecrubers
to submarines, but a continuing program OF construction instead Of
authorization year by year has been adopted for the first time. In Roose-
ve1ts second tern hfty-hvc ships we're authorized, costing $3 1872 93S;
in Tafts tern, sxtyfve ships, costing $l27747,113. In three years Of
the Wilson administration the nw construction authorized is 121 ships,
among them nine superdreadnaughs and four battle-cruisers, and, in.
Guiding the three year program, 2ll ships, a total O. $655,2S9SO6
The number of men enlisted has increased, and the enlistment author
lied has been raised from 5 ,5OO to $1,000. To remedy the shortage of
officers, where each congressman had appointed n midshipman to An
napois he now has three appointments, and the door has been opened t.
twenty-five enlisted men annually.
For the first time the navy is equipped to manufacture it's w mines

EIGHT HOURS LEISURE"

Some very nice persons who pride themselves Oh not belonging to
the working classes are saying bitter things about the federal eight-hou,
labor law, says the Stockton Record.
They re repeating the ancien criticism that eight hours Of work
with eight hours OF sleep leaves a mar eight hours OF leisure which
means a tempting opportunity to indulge in intoxicants.
Elegant gentlemen who haven't the skill to un their W motor
cars, but who must hire a chauffeur to do it for them, are thus freely en-
pressing their opinion of what 4U 900 OF the nations most reliable work.
ers will do with their new bit OF s. are time
All which merely shows how ,areessy the carpers think. Evidently
they haven't noticed that the TEN. GRANGE movement and the growth and
power Of the labor organizations, although absolutely unrelated, have
been advancing steadily side by side, yer since a n eght-hour day first
became the laboring mans stake.
Evidently they have not observed that both these steps in human
progress are touching new high levels at exactly the same moment.
And it is not the movies, as some say, which re freeing mn from
an agedd slavery to drink.
It's brans-brans of the sam, good brand which 4 also uses to
hberate himself from industrial oppression.
The biggest threat in eight hours of leisure is that it gives a nan a
chance to use his brains more and still more, to his own advantage.
No wonder the protected rcl prophesy evil.

WHY HE SUPPORTS WILSON

Charles w. Morse. president OF the Hudson Navigation company, a
native of Maine and a lifelong Republican, has announced that he had
refused a request to contribute o the Republican national campaign fund
He CAV omt d letter which he had written min response to an appeal from
Richard w. Austin, chairman of the finance committee of the National
Richard w. Ausain, chairman OF the finance committee OF the National
Republican Congressional commit &c. The letter reads in part:
LAS a Maine Republican from boyhood it seems strange to me not
to reply favorably to YOU, letter OF August LIST, but there are W reasons
why al unable to do Sc.
"First-I al in the shipping business and the only help that the
shipping industry has. received sine 1864 has been in the last W years.
The Republican party has been tie death knen of the shipping industry
for America since 1864, and shoull it regain power am afraid it would
adopt the same methods which have, as say, for the last sixty years
crushed this industry.
"Second-I have three o am very proud of, and feel a debt Of
gratitude to Mr. Wilon that they have not been compelled to live O. the
border or in the trenches, which might nave happened had your party
been in power. The Republican p;rty desires to involve this country both
on this continent and elsewhere at least, the public utcranccs Of your
candidate and his supporters so imply"

In the pronunciamento which Anne Martin has just issued, ne of the
last paragraphs reads: 1--WE are non-partisan. We are working for no
party and no candidate. We are pledged Ito use our best efforts to defeat
President Wilson. Senator Pittman and Mr.. Came
Which means, OF course, that Anne and the res OF the Martnets
will vote either the Prohibition or the Socialist ticket, for it is those par
ties alone that have consistently endorsed and supported the Susan B.
Anthony amendment. The Republican party has not, though it has had
opportunity galore in the last twenty OFT thirty years to do o so it al
not be surniscd for a moment that it will be supported by members OF
the Womans party. They surely would OF turn their cheek o have it
slapped on the other side o would they be SO ungrateful as to lay
down o the parties that have sc long espoused their causc. Therefore,
it must be taken for granted that they will vote the Socialist OF Pro
hbUuon ticket But would their contract with the Republican leaders
permit it?

year - a question that is aGitatinr
the friends of the big spitball beaver
OF the White Sox just now Rumor
has IL thar the big fellow has not
been signed for the coming season.
For the last two years Walsh has
been carried along in hope that ne

out in the pitching department. but
he had not been able to show enough
of his old-time form to warrant his
starting in many games.
Last year he made TWO starts. and
was able 10 go through and win both
games, but both of them were easy.
as his team made enough runs early
TO make the going very comfortable
for him.
President comiskey has established
a reputation. for carrying along his
old players and letting them down
easy. but The twenty fivo-lnan limit
established By the American League
last year has made il almost limos

cause II kept some other player off
