"The Basque Race are Lacking in
Intelligence---They Live in the
Lowest Possible Way for a HUI
man Being to Live---They are
Nothing but Sheepherders and
They are About as Near a Slave
as Anybody Gould Be-"

In an article published in the Reno
Gazette, addressed to the editor of
that paper, "A Basque Sheepherder'
replies to Senator Pittman as fol-
lows:
Sir: Your esteemed editorial on
"Seator Pittman's Estimate" of the
sheep industry and the men that con-
duct 1t in Nevada, fell like a bomb
into our camp. We feel happy over
the able way in which you and Mr..
Sheehan of the Winnemucca First Ma
tional bank have disposed of the mis-
representation of the industry by that
misrepresentation" of ours, and |
shall not dwell on that phase of his
testimony.
His description of the sheepmen in
Nevada is in keeping with his esti-
mate of the industry itself, and has
proved a veritable bolt from a clear
sky.
1t is concerning this feature of his
testimony that / mean 10 enter my in
dignant protest, before the people of
Tic oldlc VI IcNdudy anu DtlOI6 the
ruling powers in Washington.
Senator Pittman says: 1.-THE
Basques came from the Pyrennes
mountains In Spain. Why get that
class of labor because they seem to
be adapted to s~heepherding, and they
are lacking in intelligence in indie
pendence, or anything else. /.
They are just about as near a slave
as anybody could be, under Il pres
ent existing conditions. As
a general rule they never associate
with other people in the state; they
live among themselvs; they live in
the lowest possible way for a human
being to live. and they are nothing
but sheepherders."
People of Nevada His description
of my peoples character makes of
Senator Pittman a most u~naccounta-
BILE misit to represent a state among
an honorable body of men.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-11-04

Have they then mastered master
minds in craftsmanship and war for
30 centuries, with intelligence? But
how could we expect an ignoramus to
be acquainted with the great men OF
the past. when he displays mulish ig-
norance of his own constituents and
their interest, in his own day and
generation, right at his own door.
Lacking in intelligence"
Who have dotted the California
coast with successfully managed and
prosperous ranches for the last so
years, but some of these sturdy Pyr-
ennean mountaineers? What did the
sheep industry amount to in Nevada,
until they came and made this in
dustry the biggest in the state, not
withstanding the Senator's assertion
to the contrary?
1t does not take book lore to create
and keep up the sheep industry, but
it does take intelligence, logged ten
acity, sobriety and business acumen.
such as all university professors and
senators do not always have, to push
it to a successful issue.
Note well, there are scores of
Basques, young and old, who speak
and write huently in 1our or five Ian
guages. Wouldn't it be interesting to
see Senator Pittman compete with
these stupid Basques in a linguistic
examination?
Did the Senator ever find a single
individual among them living in q

viduals. of the manor born" instinct
with self-respect and respect for the
feeligs of others-a quality sadly
lacking in our honorable Senator.
They live in the lowest possible
way for a human being to live"
The Senator, in his two campaigns
evidently failed to observe any pala-
tial residences on the snow-clad
mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada
desert. He failed to observe that n
sheepmen watched their herds from
the window OF a Pullman car. He evil

hard work and with a constitution
steeled against the icy blast of the
winter and broiling sun of the sum
mer-through hunger and thirst, pri-
yations and dangers of all sorts, only
the sheep industry can be made a
success.
BY his unstatesmanlike language
Senator Pittman has stirred in our
souls a storm of righteous indigna-
ton; he has lit in our hearts fires
OF just contempt and anger that will
not down. He has blown a foul
breath of stupidity ignorant calumny
the ashes of u revered fathers
and mothers for forty hundred years.
Our wives are Inundated, our chill
dren mortified, our boys indignant.

COL. ROOSEVELT APPEALS
FOR THE ELECTION OF
Mr.. HUGHES.

I appeal TO my fellow citizens
tkat they shall elect Mr.. Hughes
and repudlate Mr.. Wilson be-
cause only by 90 doing can they
save America from that talnt Of
gross ssifishness and cowardIce
which we owe to Mr.. Wilson's
substitution Of adroIt elocution
for straightforward action. The
permanent Interests Of the Amer
lean people lie, not In ease and
comfort for the moment, no mat
ter how obtained, ~ Mr.. Wilson
would teach Us; but In resolute
championship Of the Ideals Of
national and international DEM
ocratic duty, and In prepared
ness to make this championship
effective by our strength. Presi.
dent Wilson embodles In his per-
son that most dangerous doc
trlne which teaches our people
that when fronted with really
formidable responsibilities we
can shlrk trouble and labor and
risk, and avoid duty by the sim
pie process Of drugging our
souls with the narcotic Of mean
inoless phrasemonoerlno. Mr..
Hughes, to the exact contrary,
embodies the ideal Of service
rendered through conscientious
effort In the face Of danger and
difficulty. Mr.. Wilson turns his
words into deeds only II this
can be achieved by adroit polit-
ieal maneuverln0, by barterino q
debauched civil service for con-
gresslonal votes on behalf Of
some measure which he had
solemnly promised to oppose.
Our own seif-respeet demands
that we support the man Of
deeds done In the open against
the man Of furtlve and shifting
political maneuvers; the man of
service against the man who
whenever opposed by q danger.
Gus foe always takes refuge In
empty elocution. - From the
Speech Of Col. Roosevelt at Bat
tie Creek, Michigan. In Behalf
Of Mr.. Hughes.
