MARTIN ADDRESS VOTERS

been talking peace ever since. Dem
ocrats advance as an argument for
President Wilson's re-eiection that he
has kept us out of war Say, there
has been no time during the past two
years that he could possibly have
broken into the war. Germany did
not want to fight us, for until short
time ago her fleet was bottled up in
the North sea, and could never have
crossed the Atlantic. The entente al
lies did not wish to fight us. for the
reason that they looked to us for sup
plies and money with which to prose-
cute the war. And, finally, our home
manufacturers and army contractors,
who are usually so keen for war, did
not want to fight, for they are too
busy coming gold out of their Euro
pean contracts and could not possibly
handle any more"
Mrs. Boissevain closed her address
by making an earnest appeal to the
audience to vote against the Wilson
administration.
Judge Langwith then announced
that the speaker was prepared to an
swer any questions that might be
asked A voice in the rear of the hall
said: What party has always stood
for equal suffrage?"
Both the Socialist and Prohibition
parties" was the reply
IF the Socialist and Prohibition
parties have stood by the women, do
you wish the women to now stand by
those parties?" asked another voice
I'VE are Indifferent who they stand
by so long as they vote against the
Democratic party. While we COM
mend the stand taken by these par
ties on suffrage, we cannot stand by
them, for the reason that the suffrage
is but one of many planks in their
respective platforms, and the only
one in which we are interested"
How long have the Socialists fa-
vored suffrage?" was asked.
Il believe since 1917 In England
and since 1888 in the United States"
IF Socialists succeed in securing
universal suffrage, will you give them
the credit?"
Certainly; but while / should vote
the Socialist ticket were l permitted
to do so, do not look for a Socialist
udlUAdl duuilulolldllOH lOI lWCuly
years. We are only interested in one
thing"
'Hughesi" shouted a voice.
Hughes? No. We are only inter-
ested in wiping the Democracy off the
map this fall. We are standing on
our own feet and making our own
fight. The men have become so ac-
customed to being trailed by women
that they do not believe this"
How long have Republicans favor
ed suffrage?"
"The party incorporated suffrage
plank in its Chicago platform and
Governor Hughes came out fiat-foot-
ed for the women as soon as he en-
tered the campaign.
Now, let us not be misunderstood.
We are not pro-Hughess pro- -Republi-
can, pro-Socialist or pro-Prohibition.
We are simply pro-Woman and anti
Democrat. AS a party we are indif
ferent as to who is elected, even
should it be Wilson, SO long as he
stands rebuked in the twelve suffrage
states for his attitude towards wo-
men"

ARRANGE SEASON TI(KFT
FOR WINTER IY(EUN COURSE

Have you arranged for your season
ticket for the Winter Lyceum yet? If
not you should see Mrs. Lipman. Mrs.
Oneal. Rev. Ross Turman, Mr. r. e.
Giller or some of the other solicitors
at once
This promises to be the strongest
aggregation of talent ever brought to
the city. and the price is brought
down to meet the ability of us ALL No
guarantee asked-just indicate the
number of tickets needed for your
own uses and the committee can then
supply your own needs.
The first number on the course is
the famous Criterion Male Quartette
and they will be here on Tuesday
evening of next week, October "a Re
member that date and keep ii open
for them.
The following clipping from the
Sylvester Daily of Sylvester, Ga.
gives a notion of their merit:
The Criterion Glee Club was the
last number on this seasons course.
and they entertained here at Sylves-
ter on Friday night, the oath of
March. To say that they made good
only moderately expresses the merit
of their program. They made good
with very, very large margin. Those
capable of judging said of it that it
was one of the best balanced quar-
tettes of their knowledge.
They were here on a Friday night,
and having Saturday night as an open
date, were asked to remain over and
give another entertainment, which
they did, and, with an almost entire
ly changed program, they again de-
lighted the people. and so much so
that any time that they want to re-
turn here they will be assured of a
big crowd.
Not having another regular "Bu-
reau" engagement till Monday night
and that being in a nearby town
they remained in Sylvester till Mon
day, and on Sunday night sang with
the regular choir at the Methodist
church, and in addition to taking part
in the regular choir numbers, rem
dered three magnificent quartet Sc
lections. The publicity of the fact
that they were to be at the evening
church service and render some spe-
cial music brought out an unusually
large attendance.
During their stay in our town they
met a great many people, especially
the young folks, being themselves all
young men, and made themselves
popular with our people, personally
Tor each is not only a splendid musi-
clan, but a thorough gentleman, and
each will always receive a glad hand
of welcome on any return, whether to
give an entertainment or to make a
personal visit.

son. which was adopted. referring the
subject to the different states. And
in doing this President Wilson and
Senator Pittman knew that the con-
stitutions of 20 states of the Union
cannot be amended in this particu-
lar
Miss Martin closed by urging the
women to vote against Wilson, Pitt
man and Caine and thus register
their disapproyal of the action of the
Democratic administration on the
suffrage question.
Mrs. j. A. Lipman, chairman of the
local women's ways and means COM
mittee, then briefly stated that the
women are compelled TO meet their
own expenses, and as the treasury
was in its normal condition of being
without available funds. ii had been
decided to take up collection. The
audience started leaving. but $35 or
$40 was realized from those who re-
mained, which was applied to the ex-
penses of the meeting.

left for Reno on Southern Pacific No.

HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETIC EVENTS

Athletics at the High school are be-
ginning to tingle this week. The foot
ball team will leave on No. 19 Friday
for their annual game at Reno with
the High school there, and on Monday
following they meet the Carson In
dians at Stewart.
The team has been working faith
fully under the coaching of Prof. Rich
and are in much better condition than
last year. In fact they should easily
win this time at Reno.
Moreover. the Elko team is spoil
ing" for a chance to play us and this
chance they will get. perhaps on the
local grounds soon after the boys re-
turn from Reno and Stewart.
Then there is basketball. The
girls will have their first real prac-
tice with the baskets this afternoon.
There are lot of new players COM
ing out and this with the older play
ers ought to insure a team even
stronger than the one of last year,
which is saying much.
The girls business manager, Fran
ces Hoskins, has just received a chal-
lenge from the Reno High school, and
the girls will take some action in the
matter at the time of their practice
this afternoon.
And finally. in tennis there is no.
ticeable activity. The triangular tour
nament between Winnemucca. Fallon
and Lovelock is not far away and
some of the boys are quietly getting
ready for the fray, although our
courts here at the High school are
not yet ready for use.

seen to enter the jury room this
morning the rumor is probably true
1t was also reported that gambling

but this is probably untrue, as no

courthouse that would give color to
the rumor.
The case of NJ. Garcia, who shot

Pittman Against Suffrage

Miss Martin then addressed the au-
dience for perhaps fifteen minutes.
She began by answering a question
often propounded, why did not the
women commence their campaign un-
der a Republican administration
I'm the campaign of 1872" said the
speaker, I'VE were politically unim-
portant, as we had but six suffrage
states, with an electoral vote of 81,
out of total of 531. Since that time
we have grown, until now we have IL
states, with an electoral vote of 81
and 100000 women voters, and we
are in position to make our political
power felt.
Senator Pittman refers to the fact
that he has always favored suffrage,
and that he was for it as early as
1910. 1t is true that he stated in 1910,
ard again in 1912, that women should
should be allowed TO vote, but in
1914, the year that the question was
submitted to the voters of Nevada, he
remained silent In March, 1914, when
the vote on suffrage was taken in the
United States Senate, 1t was defeated
by 35 to 81, with Senator Pittman
against it. AT the st Louis convention
| gave Senator Pittman our suffrage
plank to incorporate into the Demo
cratic platform, but he voted for the
substitute written by President Will
