CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT
Number Two Must Garry if
Nevada is to Get $t,OOO,-
900 For Roads

Constitutional amendment number
two on the ballot must carry if Nevada
hopes to get the 81 900, 900, her pro-
portion of the government aid for
highway building.
This money will be apportioned to
the various parts of the state but the
state or county must spend an amount
equal to that received from the govern
ment on any project.
The Southern Fevada Automobile
Club and all those interested in the
subject of highways should begin at
once to bring the fact to the attention
of the voters, that unless constitutional
amendment number two on the ballot
carries it will be impossible for the
state to receive any of the funds ap-
propriated by the government. Any
inquiries addressed to Mr.. G. A. Ray
mer, secretary of the Nevada Goods
Roads Club at Reno, will receive
prompt attention.

To the Good Voters

A report which is being circulated
accusing me of being connected with a
certain saloon in the city of Good
springs Is hereby branded as false in
every particular, and the author of
this unwarranted attack, Mr.. Sam
Gay, is only circulating said report for
political purposes, as have all the
papers in said case in my possession
drawn by Hon. H. NJ. Lillis showing
all business transactions and the public
is hereby invited to examine the papers.
This was purely business trans
action, as one of the partners in the
business at Goodsprings owed me a
sum of money and l was forced to take
bill of sale which | held for ninety
days. At the end of that time June
28th) | received what was due me, and
gave clean bill of sale in return, after
which wash my hands of the whole
affair,
And permit me to add that if l am
fortunate enough to be elected sheriff
of Clark county, Nevada, on November
the 7th next, will enforce the laws
of this great state as laid down to me
by the district attorney, whoever he
may be.
Truthfullv yours.

Shot At His Wife

Thursday evening at the California
hotel an alteration occurred between
John Jansen and his wife. Jansen for.
bidding his wife to go out to spend the
evening. She insisted it seems, and to
clinch the argument Jansen drew a 81
pistol and fired two shots at the woman.
Neither took effect although one passed
through the lady's clothing and through
a door to nearby apartment. Mrs.
Jansen fell down to make it appear
that she was shot and her husband
carried her to the tent in the rear of
the place where they live.
Frank Wait arrested Jansen and
turned him over to Sheriff Gay who
lodged him in Jail. He claimed that he
shot to scare his wife. Jansen has
been here about three weeks and was
employed in the city bakery. Mrs.
Jansen works in the Troy Steam Laun-
dry. They have two boys, the eldest
five years old. The hearing was held

Henry N. LiIIIs
Candidate for Co. Commissioner

At stated intervals it is our privilege
and our duty to elect our national,
state and county officers. Tuesday,
November the 7th, 1915. is the day
set this year for the exercise of our
franchise.
As candidate for the Office of
County Commissioner from the Las
Vegas commissioner district, my plat
form is short and simple, yet covers the
whole ground:
FOR GOOD SCHOOLS, Fer GOOD
ROADS, AND FOR GOOD COUNTY
GOVERNMENT.
By Good Schools | mean the best
educational school. built up and main
tanned on economical lines.
When | say Good Roads, | mean
roads constructed on the lines of per-
nancy, | mean that system Of road
building should be adopted and followed
that will make every citizen and tax
payer of the county feel that the taxes
they pay for road purposes is a sure,
permanent and profitable investment
By Good Government | mean the
enforcement of good wholesome laws to
the end that each citizen may point
with pride to the Civic Government of
our county.
To accomplish the results is largely
the work of the Board of County Com
missioners of our county. They are
the governing board of our county's
affairs. They have the supervision
over every county officer as to details
and expense. The prosperity and
building up of our county to great ex-
tent is in their hands. Ii they are ex-
travagant and careless in the manag
ment of county funds, they thereby in
crease taxation to such an extent as to
keep capital and labor from our county.
On the other hand if proper improve
ments are not made and good laws en-
forced then investors and labor will not
come to our county.
However if they pursue a policy call
ing for a reasonable tax levy and spend
the money properly in the needed inn
provements, with the least amount OF
overhead charges, the result will be an
increase in our population and an in
crease in our county's wealth.
Good Schools, Good Roads and Good
County Government in any community
invites and gets good investments and a
good class of labor.
The Board of County Commissioners
are the officers of our county who are
responsible to us for the hand
ling of county business. Finally they
are the agents that you have elected to
look after Your interest in all county

The candidate for district attor-
ney on the Republican ticket when
hardly 21 years of age, served in a
similar capacity in Lincoln county.
His services in this office were most
satisfactory and his election will Sc
cure to Clark county a man thor
oughly trained in the details required
to make an efficient official. He has
lived in Clark county several years
and while here he has established
reputation as an attorney that
stomps him as being one of the ablest
members of the bar IN the county.
He has been successful in numbers
of difficult cases and has a record
for conscientious work in the inter-
ests of his clients.
He possesses the rare diplomatic
faculty of forestalling any possible
friction that might arise between the
different county offices and at the
same time strictly adhere to the let
ter of the law IS regards its en-
fOrcement without showing favorit-
ism or discrimination.
The reason that he is running for
this Office is that he was urgently re-
quested to do so by his friends, his
party and the business men of the
county, who are anxious tnat this
important Office be placed in the
hands of a man who is competent
and efficient and at the same time
practically economic and will save
the county money in big affairs, rath-
er than involve it into expensive
channels through unwise economy in
small matters Leo McNamee is big
enough for this position, and he
should be elected by handsome ma
iority.-Adv.

London, March 6.-Three of the
Verdun forts defending the city from
the east have been almost totally

today.
The Amsterdam dispatch repeated
previous reprots, unconfirmed from
Berlin, that Fort De Vaux five miles
northeast of Verdun, is in ruins. 1t
added that Forts Maulainville and De
Pazannes, next in line south of De
Vaux, have been madly damaged by
German mortars, if they have not
been totally destroyed.
The latest Berlin official dispatch
carried no confirmation of the Am

occupied Dieppe, two miles northeast
of Fort De Pazannes, from which
point they will bring heavy guns to

TO NAVY DISCARD
Battleships Alabama, Ohio,
Georgia Of Fighting List.
Oldest Built 90 Years Ago;
Now They're Obsolete.

Philadelphia, March 6.-The battle
ships Alabama, Ohio and Georgia are
to be stricken from the navy roster
as real fighting units and probably
will end their days as training ships
for the naval reserve. This was the
assertion made today by several Of
ficers of the Philadelphia Navy yard.
One of the officers asserted that the
battleships despite their excellent con-
dition, are obsolete and serve no pur-
pose other than to retard the progress
and impair the efficiency of the first
line ships. The Alabama was laid
down twenty years ago and is a 1900
ton ship. The Ohio and Georgia, built
a few years later, virtually are the
same size and carry similar arma-
ments.i
IA battl ship" said the officer.
'.Hust perform the duties of a battle
ship. None of the old ships would be
able to stand up against the newer
ships. For instance a ship like the
Pennsylvania could sink the three bat
tleships in less than a half hour and
sustain no damage because the new
cr>st would be able to keep out of the
range of the old battleships. They have
had their day and while they appear
formidable on paper and swell the
number of battleships they would be
of little service in an engagement with
any of the first class naval powers"

French have dropped a deadly curtain

Losses of 100000
In two weeks of the greatest often
sive developed by either side since the
German defeat at the Marine, COM
bined German and French losses have
totaled more than 100000. The dead
on both sides are believed to number
at least $4,000.
During the first fortnight of the
struggle the Germans have pressed
forward in a crescent shaped front,
occupying between 80 and 100 square
miles of French positions, according
to figures given out in Berlin. They
have wrecked Fort Douaumont and
captured several villages, but ha re
failed to break the French front at
any point.

Throughout Sunday a fierce battle
ragged along the front from Pepper

Germans first concentrated the fire of
several score of guns against the
French positions, bombarding for two
hours. Then they charged, throwing
three brigades into action on the mar
row front.

cratic Women of America, at a meet

country has had the divine authority
of petroleum poured on his head to
say that you and 1 must go out to our
death. We have no need to regard
antiquated principles of international
law, when the reasons for it have
ceased to exist.

self before they will decide to go to
war.
I'VE are trying to keep out of this
war between empires. We didn't get
them into it and we have no duty to
get them out of it,
Mr.. Taggart declared, however. that
the United States can do much to
bring about peace. This war has no
reason that any sensible man can see,
said he. "It is the greatest sin, the
greatest curse and the greatest horror
| of all the ages.
America Can Make Peace.
Don't tell me that the American
| people aren't smart enough to do
something new. If We can't, no nation
under the stars can. We can 90 the
new thing. We can make peace
where there was war. We can bring
about loyalty to the nation where be-
| fore there was loyalty only to the state
! by taking thought. We can keep out
of this war and we can also keep the
respect of the world, not only the re-
spect. but also the fear. If they come
| looking for us I am in favor of the
| hottest reception they ever received.
If they pay us visit they will find
US at home and in the receiving line
But we are not going out ar | make
an aggressive war. That is the thing
that can lever happen If women vote
When women have voice in the gov
eminent the government will never
make a war of aggression
