CARSON CITY, New, Oct. 25.-
Justice McCarran presided last night
at the Pittman meeting and it was
universally commented upon that
he refrained from saying anything
in his Introductory remarks about
the notorious land grab which The
senator had to try to explain to the
best of his ability. The anomaly of
forcing McCarran into the position
of chairman after he had denounced
the land bill as one that would be
disastrous to the school interests of
the state excited some criticism and
the friends of the jurist allowed a
Democratic campaign secret to leak
out. This was not intended for pub
lie consumption but it shows that
McCarran is not eager to stultify
himself by appearing in a fash
light before the voters of Nevada.
1t seems that McCarran was
billed to speak at Goldfield in the
interest of Pittman. How 1t came
that the Democratic committee came
to deceive itself by announcing the

quish the prospect Of getting mill
