Nevada Democrats Hold Interest
ing Meeting at Reno aud Name
Contingent to Go to St LOUIS
Instruct Members TO Vote for
Woodrow Wilson for President

Much to the chaerin, perhaps, OF
many of the opposing forces who
prophesied that the meeting Satur-
day night at Reno of the Democratic
State Central committee would be
a Kilkenny cat affair, where faction
al fight, strife and all manner OF
jealousy and. rivalry would prevail,
the session was one great big calm,
and there was nothing, not even the
smallest ripple, to disturb its equa-
ninity
AS had been advertised, the meet
ing OF the committee was for the pur-
pose OF determining how delegates
to the Democratic National conven-
IA. should be selected, whether by a
convention to be held at. some date
in the future following statewide pri-
maries, or whether the State Central
committee, after meeting first as
such body, should resolve itself into
a convention and then elect the del
egates and the alternateS. This was
the first matter presented to the tor
ty-odd delegates who attended the
meeting and who represented every
county in the state, and they settled
the matter wisely and we'll The
problem was brought up by 7. l..
Foley of Goldfield, who introduced
a resolution calling for primaries OF
a certain date and the holding of a
in Winnemucca some
time in April for the purpose Of elect
ing delegates and alternates to the
National meet. Mr. Foley made a
forcible talk in support of his reso-
Luton, and at its conclusion George
i. Thatcher submitted substitute
of the original, moving
that it be the sense of the committee
to resolve itself into convention and
proceed to elect the delegates and al
ternates This was followed by re-
marks for and against; Leonard b.
Fowler. Charles Lee Horsey ami
others taking the stand for pri-
raries and convention and James I.
Boyd, George A. Bartlett, William
Mcknight and several more maia-
taining that in the absence of laid
down rule and in the interest ,)f
economy it was proper and right tor
the members present to decide whetn-
er or not the committee should pro-
ceed with the election of delegates.
Finally it was put to a vote, and it
was decided, Is to Is, to hold the
convention at once
The committee then formed as a
convention, with Chairman Sam
Picket, presiding, and Bill Nc
Knight as secretary.
But little time was lost in present
ing names as delegates, and the fol-
lowing were chosen: Senator Fran
els G. Newlands Of Washoe county,
Senator Key Pittman OF Nye, Char
les A. Stout of Washoe, J. F. Varda-
man of Esmeralda, Ed W. Clark OF
Clark and r. w. Hesson of Elko.
The name of Judge P a. McCarran
was a SO presented, but on being noti
fed of the fact and being called to
the floor he stated that he
had received many honors at
the hands of the Democratic
party of Nevada and expected
more, but that he did not pro-
pose to hog everything, therefore
he believed that some other man
should be honored by being sent to
St. Louis, and he requested that his
name be withdrawn The selection
OF the six above named was then
made unanimous.

ternates was reached the names of a
number Of candidates were presented
The name of Mrs w. L. MaCNcy
Of Carson was suggested by repre-
sentatives of the Appeal office who
were there, and in the discussion that
10 lowed it was evident that the con-
Vention was in humOr to name a num-
Der of ladies for the honored posi-
ton. but in the minds Of several
legal luminaries present the legality
OF the action was questioned, they
holding that Until a woman had reg
istered and voted she was not a .xaHal-
flied elector, which the rules Of the
National Democratic committee re
quired a delegate to be, thereupon
the name of Mrs. Mackey was with
drawn.

Two little song were sung by four little Mexican toys in Miss Iarezy's room and as they know only little English it was quite an accomplishment. Twenty of the girls and noys from Mrs. Mackey's room recited Barbara i'ritchie" in concert without n break. Little Kath- ryn Sevringhaus sang And the Sand Man Gets His Cake very sweetly. After due consideration the ?. T.

 was thorougfly discussed and ap- proved by every one present but jus, before going to the vote it was de- cidcd to wait until next meeting when there would probably be a larger at tendance. to consider the spending of SO large sum Of money.

 The next week. however. the pat 2 ronase was rot so good and the ex- penses were greater than the cash receipts. F'irs; it was suggested to suspend the serving of the lunches until after Christmas. but this met with instant opposition from the mothers One reason for the short . age was the prevalence of grippe, but another was the increased cost cf everything eatable. So the problem was solved by making the hot lAnch 1ost six cents q day instead Cf five and the fruit remains l cent. making the tctal lunch cost seven cents per day.
