EVERY SEAT IN A|ROOME FILLED
AND AUDIENCE GROWS ENTHUSIASTIC

Sharp at IL, the hour prescribed by
law. the Republican convention for
Nye county, Nevada, was called to
order by the county chairman, H. h.
Grier. with the county secretary,
Alfred Boyle, at his desk.
The Airdome was bedecked with
bunting and on the sounding board
back of the platform was a sepia
portrait of Justice Hughes. the Re-
publican candidate for president, with
flags interlaced above.
The Tonopah Military band dis
coursed an overture, after which
"The Star Spangled Banner" was
played. the audience, numbering sew
eral hundred, standing.
Chairman Grier called for the roll
and the secretary received replies
from all but FIVE. four of whom had
sent proxies.
]. G. Cru..Iley nominated Hon. Mark
II. Averill as chairman. II. ID. King
seconded and Richard Ernest moved
the nominations closed He was
escorted to the platform and greeted
enthusiastically. He briefly acknowl-
edged the honor. Mr.. Dowler nomi
mated Miss Margaret v. Shields for
secretary. seconded by Mrs. Schweble
She was unanimously chosen.
The chair appointed H. G. DowleI
sergeant at arms.
Speeches in nomination, secondinl
and acceptance were limited to five
minutes. On motion by Mr.. Burnhan
all nominations were directed to bt
made by secret ballot. The two
telers chosen were H. d. King. o
Tonopah, and r. H. Ernest, of Roun,
Mountain.
Judge Mark h. Averill then ad
dressed the convention. He said
II came to this country fifteen year
, ago seeking employment and the dis
trict has treated me kindly, for

called his former experiences in RI
publican conventions in Nye count
and related some amusing incidents

' There has been much talk about
business administration. The incon
. Of the county last year was $4,000
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1916-09-19

of which $4,000 went to the state.
Approximately 100000 was devoted
to other than state and school pur-
poses. Half of this sum went for
salaries and only $4,000 was left for
business purposes. This sum justifies
the selection of the proper sort of peo-
pie to spend it. We need men of the
highest standard, both as to char
acter and intelligence"
The speaker said that the time has
come for the fixing of a minimum
wage and for child labor legislation.
He favored the return to the direct
primary, because it represents the
will of the people.
Judge Averill then turned to ma
tional issues. One of the points
made was that the Democratic party
had pledged itself to single term
for the presidency. Referring to the
Democratic cry that President Wilson
has kept us out of war with Ger
many, the speaker told Of the ''bun-
combe" in that connection, inasmuch
as neither the army nor navy of Ger.
!, many could at this time infiict injury
upon the United States. Since VII
son has been in office the United
States has expended 100000, 900 or

war without its declaration. Oul
present preparedness is due to popu
lar demand by people of all parties
Il The speaker pointed out the "bun
combe" of the system of the admin
