FORD AND LELAND ENDORSED
Wayne County Republicans Took Ac-
tlon nj Their County Convention

The Wayne county republicans took
action at their county convention las,
Monday that is very significant. by
unanimous vote Henry Ford was en-
dorsed for the Office OF president OF
the United States and Hon Frank b.
Leland was picked as the Wayne
county candidate for governor.
The action in the case OF Ford was
not SO significant as he had secured
the state endorsement at the primary
and as he is respected citizen OF
Wayne county II was to be expected
that his neighbors would give him the
courtesy. at least. OF an endorsement

has been conceded TO either Sleeper.
Diekema or Leland, unless such split
would occur as would give Dickinson a
plurality. So, the unanimous en-
dorsement Of Wayne is viewed by
those versed in state politics as an
action that will prove either big as
sett OF great handicap TO Mr. Leland.
IL II arises from such a wide spread
demand in Wayne that IL will bring be-
hind Mr. Leland anywhere near the
solid support of Wayne republicans il
will be long step towards the goal
but II il does not solidify Wayne il is
looked upon as a handicap for the rea-
son that the field will undoubtedly be
against Leland from this out
Those who know point out the fact
that Mr. Heineman is very strong
contender for the Office OF lieutenant
governor and that he will not view
with complacency the Leland success
unless he has already made a deal
whereby he is willing to relinquish his
ambition TO be lieutenant governor
for the nomination of Leland means
that the lieutenant governorship will
go TO some other section Of the state

SUFFRAGE ITEMS.
a LILLIAN PEsIAE DAVIS.

Already the West is won, Tor the
Suffrage map shows no black from
the Pacific to the Mississippi, except
for Missouri, Arkansas and Texas
states belonging to the South.
Either whole or partial suffrage
reigns throughout every other cor
ner Of the West. And now the
South Is coming into line. The
recent presidential election has
opened the eyes Of Democracy.
Statesman after statesman has seen
the light. Following the statesmen,
other men are becoming reconciled
to the idea, and Southern women
who have feared that their men
folks might think them unlady like
if they took a stand for suffrage,
need fear it no longer, for the South
is coming into line.
This weeks issue Of the Woman's
Journal carries reports Of Southern
activity which ring with patriotism
and progress.
Texas, larger than Germany, and
stronger than everything south Of
the Rio Grande put together, is
ready to grant her women freedom.
II is confidently expected that the
Legislature, which meets in Janu-
airy 1917, will pass the necessary
amendment, which may be ratified
the same year.
Virginia, who led in the first fight
against taxation without representa-
ton, celebrated the election with
magnificent demonstrations featur-
ing Votes for Women
Georgia, where only last year the
legislature refuted utterly the idea
Of women in government, and where
1t may also be mentioned, women
are refused admittance to the State
University, even Georgia invited the
Suffragists to take part in the great
p1rade opening the Georgia-C Carolina
Fair.
Louisiana and Oklahoma, with
partial suffrage already won, are
working with renewed vigor for full
power.
Mississippi sends significant re-
port of the recent meeting Of her
Federated Clubs. A resolution was
presented asking for endorsement
Of equal suffrage. After many able
speeches, action was deferred for a
year. Not one speaker opposed
suffrage itself; objections to endorse
ment were all made on some other
ground. Miss Orr, who presented
the resolution two years ago, was
requested not to mention suffrage in
report she was to make for her
club. This year she was given a
place on the program to present the
subject.
Tennessee. the mother Of Texas,
had no report Of this week. She
was too busy humping herself to
beat her big daughter to the first
Southern white spot on the Suffrage
map.
Senator-elect Kenneth D. Nickel
lar made away with one Of the
arguments frequently used against
woman suffrage when, at the recent
banquet in Memphis, he presented
I statistics showing that the white
women Of voting age Of Tennessee
outnumber the negroes, both men
and women by $4,000. In view Of
that, II women could vote, there
would be even less danger than at
present Of the negro vote becoming
dangerous element. Among other
prominent Memphians who reiter-
ated their belief in equal suffrage
were Congressman-elect Hubert F.

PROF. c. A. JEWELL
NOT RESPONSIBLE

Last nights Humboldt Star con-
tanned an article signed by Mrs.
Florence r. Lille, Democratic candi-
date for reelection to the county
board OF education, complaining of
unfair treatment at the hands of the
author of an anonymous circular. The
name of Prof. c. A. Jewell, principal
of the High school, was mentioned,
as was also the Independent Voters
League. although it was not directly
charged that either were responsible
for the alleged libelous circular.
Mr. jewell when shown the article
by Mrs. Lille in the last Humboldt
Star, said, 'Yes, 1 have seen it, and
regret very much that the lady should
feel it necessary to drag myself and
the schools into her political quar-
rels. No committee from the Inde-
pendent Voters League or any other
body has ever called upon me about
school matters as Mrs. Lille states,
and it is therefore difficult to see why
she should make such a very mislead-
ing statement"
When asked if he wished to make
any further statement. Prof. Jewell
said:

WESTERN PACIFIC
IN NEED OF FEEDERS

Under the able management of G.
Nj. Levy, the Western Pacific is rapid
ly adjusting itself to new conditions
and is now assuming its position
as a great transcontinental carrier.
The last financial report of the road
shows a balance on the right side of
the ledger greatly in excess of the
most rosy expectations.
The Western Pacific was built to
furnish the people of California, Ne
vada and Utah with competing line,
and while it has accomplished this
end to the lasting benefit of the
towns along the right-of-way, it has
not proved a profitable investment to
the stockholders. The finanial diff
cultiese of the road, which culminat-
ed in a receivership, are so recent
that they have not been forgotten by
the public. Since the sale of the line,
several months ago. and the termina-
tion of the receivership, wonders
have been accomplished in the way
of increased business, physical bet
terments, ETC., but the need of feeders
had daily become more apparent.
As is well known locally, for the
past four years Col E. r. Place has
been working to build a line from
Winnemueca to Boise, Idaho, and as
a matter of fact had the plans all ar
ranged, which were to be carried out
by the Western Pacific, when the road
was placed in the hands of a receiver
Col Place returned to Winnemucca
yesterday, and when asked by the
Silver State if there was an immedi-
ate prospect for the construction of
his proposed line, replied:
"The Western Pacific needs feed
ers, Nevada needs more railways to
open up for settlement the vast tracts
of unoccupied land that if put under
cultivation would run the population
of the state into the seven figures.
"A railroad from Winnemucca to
the idaho and Oregon country would
work such wonders for Nevada that
the old time crouch would wonder
why in Gods name it hadn't been con-
structed years ago.
ITO go into the why's and where
fores and whynots would require all
the space in the Silver State for six
weeks to come. A few of us have
been trying for years to bring about
the consummation of this project un-
der the most trying circumstances.

right. Even if we had stacked 'em
and marked EN-, we couldn't have
