Those who are concerned to know
what Mr.. Hughes would have done
had he been in Mr.. Wilson'S place

done as Mr.. Wilson has. And that

President Wilson's alarm clock is

He can reach out of bed and turn it

There are no strings or mental res
eryations to the public pledges of adj
ministrative reform given by Charles
II. Hughes. His record as governor
of New York guarantees the fulfill.
ment of every promise.
Democrats are now convinced that
Charles Evans Hughes is a warm pro

question where he stood at the begin
ming of his administration. He has

1t strikes one that instead of wildly

According to the weeks latest work

AT the annual meeting of postmas-
tiers in Washington recently, the first
assistant postmaster-general lauded
the postal savings system. That must
have been bitter pill for Postmaster
General Burleson, who sat on the same
platform with his assistant. When the
postal savings bill was passed, Mr..
Barleson, then a Congressman from
Texas, voted against it. Every vote
cast against it was cast by a Demo-
crat. Not one Democratic Congress
man voted for it. Yet President Will
son says the Republican party has not
had new idea in thirty years. Whose
Idea was it?
1t was the instinct of a lawyer for
Hughes to support his damning charg-
es against Wilson, by calling Wilson's
own secretary of state as d witness
to prove them.
Mr.. Hughes says there should be
firm dealing in Mexican affairs. May.
be so; but we have had enough of

DRIVING FROM COAST TO
COAST IN HIGH GEAR

The twelve-cylinder stock model
seven-passenger Pathfinder car
which is making the trip from San
Diego to New York over the Lincoln
Highway on high arrived in Ely last
Tuesday evening, in charge of Heinie
Scholler. of the experimental depart
ment and Walter A. Wideley, con-
nected with the sales department of
the Pathfinder comapny. The two
men stated that they believed when
they reached Ely from the West they
had successfully crossed the heaviest
grades without any serious difficulty
and believed they would encounter
no great trouble on the remainder of
the long journey.
The object of the trip is to dem
o~nstrate that the entire route along
the Lincoln highway can be made in
high gear, and thus entirely disprove
stories as to the trip being a hazard
has been inspected and passed by the
A. A. A. as being aJstock model, left
San Diego on July g., coming by way
of San Francisco and over the Lin
coin Highway. Before starting, all
gears we're taken out except the high
and reverse and the transmission was
sealed by All Waddell, western rep
resentative of the A. A. A. At each
town a certificate is obtained from
some of the officials or a responsible
to the effect that the seal has
been inspected and found intact.
No attempt is being made at
speed, but Messrs. Scholler and Wide
ley, both of whom have crossed the
by auto several times, be-
lieve that by making the trip on high
without any great difficulty they will
prove to autoists all over the world
the Lincoln Highway is the road
to travel and that the trip from coast
to coast is indeed a pleasure jaunt
instead of a hardship as many have
been led to believe and which has
no doubt caused many to abandon the
idea of making the journey. Ger
II this stock model car can
cross the continent on high any car
in ordinary condition should be able
to make the trip with all gears ready
for operation.

To he citizens of Nevada: :

10 n cltlzeHS ol T>tNdud
| have about completed the unex-
pired term in the United States Sen
ate to which the people of the State
elected me. The responsible duty
of selecting a representative of the
State in the United States Senate for
the next six years is about to devolve
upon you. | have no right to submit
my name for your consideration un-
til have made a full and frank
report of my services. | have re-
ceived letters asking how
stood upon certain measures that
have been passed upon and upon
other measures that are now pending.
Such inquiries also remind me of the
necessity of making this report.
1t is not fair that | should ask
your support upon the grounds OF
friendship or to satisfy personal am
bition. If | cannot accomplish some-
thing for you, and so represent you
as to benefit not only the State but
the nation, then, in justice to your
self and to our State, you should Sc
leet one who can. In determining
this you have a right to know n
to consider all of my acts as your
representative. A great many OF u
citizens have urged upon me the pro-
priety of going to the State and sub
hitting to questions and reporting in
person. | realize that this would be
more satisfactory, and it would GER
tainly be more pleasurable. deep
" regret my inability TO h%onorably
comply with this request. The peo-
pie of my State have reposed in me
a great confidence. They have elect
ed me as their representative agent
and servant to look after their inter-
ests in the United States Senate.
They are paying me a salray for this
service. Dave no right to neglect
my official duties for my private in
terests.
There never was such IN impor-
tant session of Congress. There are
many appropriation bills pending
which contain items Aof vast impor-
lance to our people. There are bills
pending which contain provisions
which are injurious to our welfare
and which must be fought and de-
fooxal Tha uraaf Damncrafir raw
enue bill is pending. 1t increas-
the rate of taxation upon incomes
and taxes enormous profits made out
of the sale of munitions of war. 1t
largely repeats the Stamp Act. lifts
the burdens off those least able to
bear them and places them upon
those who have vast incomes. The
Shipping bill, which is intended to
break the grip of the Shipping Trust,
facilitate commerce., reduce the cost
of shipping, and establish a Merchant
Marine, is again to be fought out
during this session. Every support
and every vote is necessary for the
passage of this bill.
I have succeeded in passing sew
eral bills through the Senate Of ad-
vantage to our State, and while l
cannot act in the House of Repre-
sentatives, l may be able to use some
influence in that body II remain
