VAN FLEET Says
HUGHES ADDRESS
MADE GREAT HIT
LEAVES PROFOUND IMPRESSION
BY APPEAL FOR FIRMNEss
AND EFFICIENCY IN GREAT
POLICIES OF GOVERNMENT

Mr.. Carey Van Fleet. one of Elko's
ablest and most popular lawyers. re-
turned from Reno profoundly i'm.
pressed by the address of Mr.. Charles
f. Hughes, Republican nominee for
President
THE audience of about 10000 per
sons was plainly iulpres sed," he said,
with the urgent need of greater firm.
efficiency in the departments which
manage the affairs of state. Judge
Hughes made n distinct hit when he
pledged himself to a business admin
| istration--to put the ~bcst men in
charge Of the departments without re-
gard TO party.
In mus placing the work of the ad-
ministTation in the hands of highly
capable men, he said, lies the secret Of
governmental success. in which the
Wilson administration mas been large
ly lacking.
The speaker reminded us that the
diplomatic service OF the country has
degenerated under the Wilson admin
istratiOn, because political eXpediency
was placed before efficiency and the
Safety First system established by Mr.
Elihu Root as Secretary Of State was
! completely ignored and relegated to
| the limbo of forgotten things as soon
as the Democrats captured tie govern
ment.
Judge Hughes's address throughout
was patriotic appeal for the square

zens wherever they may be in the
