cwan issues we ind follows 1Esr s@x rxR
The statement that has been made that National Woman Suffrage will be ~mdq quicker at the hands
of the ReeD"ans a" a" the hands ofne Democrats is nc" true. The Democratic" plank in the National
Platform onanabyn stronger than mp plank of the Republican Platform uonn ne same subject Pres
dent nnn has voted for woman suffrage in New jersey, while Mr.. Hughes refused to go to New York "
OF" when the same question" vas up before the people of that State In an interview a%' I" ~@aS
fore his nomination Mr. Hughes stated TIL he was opposed to wom"mnre In the re@tM New York ant
Massachusetts, state conventions Mr. Hughes campaign manager aaos"ed when the suffrage resolution"
we're killed; and neither Mr. Hughes nor his political managers mndedd tn" The Republican nominees for
Congress be instructed to vote for the National Amendment
In the Stat of Nevada it was Democratic Legislature that hm passed. the resolution hSo"s equal

annv -. rant - H.. State Of Nevada. BY the United States Government of ooo-
800 ae m.mmna ~. university assist maintaining hat institution increase the taxable
~a endowment or til general eheeH"a system Of Nevada. The measure is no"ra''"n' because" has
to do with mes ~d nem of our State.
The opposition to the bill is made principally for political reasons which is onasmmmm any m@
sure having for its object tn burmnta % awnnlm institutions the University and the Public
schools is entitled to the supper of all good citizens The barge made that the bill is for the benefit of
few is without roumhuOnb because under its terms it is mroabeh for one individual secure moea IA
GO acres Of land Further tn fact nta ne land will be sold at pn"~ sale to which provision til bill
exception has been taken is oms unusual. No grant of and has been made by Congress since 1875
which did not contain the publ sale aae When the States Colorado Montana North nkoa south
Dakota, Washington Idaho New Mexico and Arizona were. granted land the os"n" provision WI"
made for the sale me lands by public ale to til highest bidder. Hasa noe heard of any complaint in

As a natter @ fact there are more safeguards surroundings the grant of this land to the State of Ne
