Tuesday Evening
The political campaign was opened
in Eureka Tuesday evening when a
large assemblage of the people heard
the issues of the day from a Demo-
cratic standpoint discussed by Attor-
ney James 7. Boyd of Reno in the
Opera House.
The meeting was opened with mu-
sic by the Lobster Club Band, which
was followed by a short address by
District Attorney N. P. Morgan, be-
fore introducing the speaker Of the
evening.
Mr.. Boyd in opening addressed the
mixed audience as fellow citizens,
and from the beginning to the close
of his talk showed that he personally
favored Woman Suffrage. but not
the noisy, demonstrative kind.
He gave the audience a cursory
view of President Wilson'S admin
stration and what he had accom-
plished under Democratic control,
and emphatically declared that in
every instance where President Will
son had been called upon to deter
mine what was best for the Nation
in the great affairs confronting it,
he had gotten the concessions asked
for, and asked what more could be
expected of the President. Among
the principal measures brought about
by the President which the speaker
discussed freely we're the Child La
Dor law, the European War. and the
Mexican situation.
The speaker denounced the Suffra.
gette leaders for the stand they
had taken against President Wilson,
and the means and ways they were
using to prevent his reelection,
and said that the President had not
only declared himself in favor of wo-
man suffrage, but had gone from
Washington to New Jersey to vote
for it, and asked what better proof
of his support was necessary.
He strongly advocated the return
of Senator Key pittman to Washing
ton to again represent the people of
Nevada. which he had thus far done
for their best interests and with
credit to himself.
Regarding State legislation Mr..
Boyd said that from personal exper-
fence, having served three terms as
Senator from Washoe County. it
needed to be decidedly improved. and
that the Legislature in the future
must get busy and do things. make
better laws, and work for the States
interests. He advised the recall OF
those in office who worked for per.
sonal interest and gain. and not fol
the good of the people, and said that
this might also be applied to those
higher in power in National legisla-
ton. SID
The speaker held an attentive audi
ence until he closed, and while his
remarks did not meet the approva
and please all, it was generally con.
coded that he was an entertaining
talker and out of the usual in that he
gave his listeners unvarnished state
ments, calling a spade a spade. and
is a most loyal supporter of the
President, Democratic party and its
principles.
At the close of Mr.. Boyd's address
Mr.. Morgan thanked the audience
for its attendance and attention and
invited all to the social dance that fol
lowed.
The Lobster Club Band rend'
cred the music during the evening
dancing continuing until midnight.
Reception rendered Former Eurekan,
Mr.. and Mrs, M. Scheeline of Reno,
who are visitors in Eureka this week
