F.. CARNEY MORAN
FOR THE SUPREME COURT

The political card of Thomas F
Barney Moran. nominee of the He
publican party for Justice of the SUI
preme court Of Nevada, appears in
this issue. Judge Moran is at pres
ent serving his second elective term
OF four years on the District Court
bench in Washoe County. He held
court here for Judge Coleman several
years ago. Before being district
judge he served twice as district at
torney of Washoe county. and in fact,
he has taken. all the steps that usually
go before elevation to the supreme
court bench.
His attitude and general tenden-
cies as a jurist are amply revealed
by his many decisions on record in
the courts and that he has given sat
isfaction and shown a fair-minded
and judicial character is amply at
tested by his uniform success before
the people who know him best.
Judge Moran was thrown on his
own resources at the age of 10 years
He worked as a machinist apprentice,
driver in a coal mine. telegraph OPP
orator and train dispatcher, coming
to Nevada in 1884, shortly after he
reached the age of Is.
Under the new election law there
will be no party designation on the
ballot respecting judicial officers
This is an effort to remove the judi
ciary from politics, a move in which
Judge Moran thoroughly agrees.

BRILLIANT CALIFORNIA
WOMAN HEARD by
LARGE AUDIENCES

Thursday night the MeGill club
house was filled to overflowing and
many tried in vain to hear from the
lobby the brilliant California speaker,
Mrs. Ida Finley Mackrille. tell the
story of the national Woman's party.
Mrs. Mackrille was introduced in a
few fitting words by Mrs. C. V. Jen-
kins. county chairman.
In describing the effort of women
to secure national political freedom,
Mrs. Macgrille showed a thorough
knowledge of national politics. Her
long residence in Washington gave
her an intimate knowledge of the
procedure in the halls of Congress
which commanded the confidence and
respect of her audience. She show
ed the utter impossibility of seeur-
ing suffrage for all the women of the
country short of a federal amend
ment.
The non-partisan attitude of the
party wins made absolutely clear to
those present. "Once voting women
have withheld their vote from any
party which has had the power to en-
franchise women but has failed to do
so, no party will think OF asking for
the woman's vote unless it has a
record of political justice to all the
women of the land.
Six hundred persons. many stand
ing, listened to Mrs. Mackrille at the
Bio theater in Ely for over an hour
Friday night. She is a woman of
brains and character. with animosity
to none That she made her subject
is shown by the fact that no
one responded to her request for
questions from the floor on points not
