CURIOUS COMBINATIONS IN HOUSE
CAUSED BY REPUBLICAN MAJORITY

be James r. Mann, the present
minority leader, and Speaker Clark,
generally regarded as the Democratic
choice to succeed himself.
Unless Champ Clark can be elected
speaker they prefer that he abandon
that race and become candidate for
minority leader, the post he held for
many years before the Democratic
ascendancy in 1912. Such a develop
ment might precipitate lively con-
test within the Democratic rangs
with Claude Kitchin, the present
minority leader.
In the event of Republican organi-
cation of the house, the majority
leadership under seniority rule would
go to Joseph w. Fordney, OF Michi-
gan, who automatically would be-
come chairman of the ways and
means committee. Among the ma
jority members of that important
COLlullll6t WulCn WOulu udfO Nhoi Sc
of tariff revision would be Repre-
sentative Ebenezeer Hill, Of Con
necticut; Longworth, of Ohio; Gard
ner, of Massachusetts; Moore, OF
Pennsylvania; Green, of Iowa. and
Fairchild, of New York.
Whatever happens, Republicans
cannot control legislation in the mex
congress, because the new senate will
be Democratic by safe working
majority of twelve. In this situation
little partisan legislation can b
looked for during the first part O
the new Wilson administration. Be
cause of this administration leader
will exert every possible effort t
! complete the Democratic legislativ
program before March 4 next, whe
the Gath congress will end.

BUTLER THEArER

Another splendid picture and fine
musical program will be the attrac-
tion at the Butler this evening. The
all-star, seven-piece orchestra will en-
terrain you during the first show in
another carefully prepared musical
program or concert which are so
much enjoyed by all.
The picture will be a Blue Ribbon
production entitled THE Tarantula,"
featuring the popular Vitagraph star,
Edith Storey, supported by Antonio
Moreno. She learned too late that
men kiss and ride away" But this
time the man paid the piper. With
that instrument. he most loathed in
the world, she brought him to his
doom. Tragic, pepful, human, "The
Tarantula" is drama Of life as 1t
is, no sham, but reality, with a love
note as SWEET as 1t is plaintive.
Tomorrow, the management has
| secured, as an added attraction, the
great Zardo, mentalist and mind
reader. The act comes we'll recon-
mended from the coast managers as
being one of the best of it's kind.
You may ask Zardo any question per
tanning to your business, love affairs.
etc, and they will be promptly
answered.

Goldfield football team will come to
Tonopah for the return game with
the Tonopah team. The Goldfield
team has been doing some hard
practicing since Tonopah defeated
their team last month. They had
several of their men over to see the
game last Saturday between Reno
and Tonopah and after seeing the
game feel that they have learned
some of Tonopah's style of playing
and can put up game that may
prove to be a surprise. 1t is to be
hoped that the weather man will give
weather that will allow good large
crowd to witness the game, as many
were disappointed in not being able
to see the game with Reno last
Saturday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Members
of the house Of representatives in the
new Gath congress face one Of the
most uncertain organization situa-
tions in the history of the govern
ment.
With few districts still in doubt,
the Republicans appear to have a
plurality of four or five members and
a possible majority of two or three
when it is figured that an independ-
ent elected in Massachusetts and a
Progressive elected In Minnesota
probably will vote with them for
organization purposes. Independence
of action has characterized a number
of the reelected members on the Re-
publican side, however. and their at
titude towards Democratic legisla-
ton In the last few years have given
Democratic leaders cause for hope
that some Of them might carry their
independence into the organization of
the next house.
| Democratic leaders regard II i'm
probable that President Wilson will
call an extra session of the new
congress next spring. Then the or
ganization fight would not come until
the regular session, December, 1917
AS matters stand, the candidates
of the Republicans for speaker will

RUSSIA EXPECTS
MORE F|RMNESS
SECOND TERM MAY sTiFFEN
BACKBONE OF THE WILSON
ADMINISTRATION

PETROGRAD, Nov 13.-The Rus
sian newspapers comment briefly
and reservedly on the reelection of
President Wilson, combining them
selves in general to the conclusion
that more decisive foreign policy
Is as much to be expected under Mr..
Wilson as 1t would have been under
Mr.. Hughes.
The Novoe vremya looks for a
more determined attitude on the part
of the American government towards
submarine warfare now that Presi-
dent Wilson is no longer pre-occupied
with the political campaign"
1t adds: American political history
shows that the president usually
commits himself to more definite
policy during his second administra-
ton. President Wilson will not now
be bound by considerations of politi-
cal prudence and will show greater
freedom or action. The victorious
candidate cannot help seeing that
half the nation require from him, not
SO much pacificism, but dignity. He
declared year ago that he would
not permit piracy, but, busy with the
election, he has not had time to
make good this pronounciamento, and
Germany has continued to sink ships
at the very shores of America. He
now must show THAT his declaration
is not mere words"

ALLEN FISHER DIES
NEAR HIS old HOME

Great old man hel He reached
Humboldt Well, New, with the first
locomotive in 1869. He liked the
looks Of things and camped there.
later made it his permanent camp,
built hotel; he sometimes obtained
money from his customers. but as
often fed them for nothing, and for
As years was little providence to all
that regional once a providence and
an inspiration, for he was sterling
and strong, and beneath all his quaint
ways was shrewd and genial and had
faculty of carrying hope to the
depressed and despairing and of
pointing out the trail that led up to
courage and hope.
One Of his hobbies was to gather
stuffed birds and animals. This he
pursued for years until the big saloon
of his hotel was literally curiosity
shop. There was enough in 1t to
make a complete natural history OF
Nevada, and many traveller on the
railroad stopped off at Wells for a
day to study it. He knew everybody,
and the wise and foolish alike went
to him for counsel and advice. All
were received alike. He would stoop
to lift mendicant from the dust;
he would have looked the car Of all
the Russians full in the face and II
he thought he was in the wrong
would have told him SO.
He was stricken with Apoplexy last
spring and though he rallied a good
deal he was ever after feeble and
finally determined to return to his
native Kentucky and look again upon
the land of his childhood. He hat
reached within few miles Of Louis
vile last Saturday when his fina
Icall came.

belief is that he would have preferred
