TODAY is STATES
SAITH ANNIVERSARY

Fifty-four years ago today, October
81, 1864, President Lincoln signed the
proclamation that ushered the state
OF Nevada into the national family
1t was the second attempt that Nevada
had made to become a state after one
failure to adopt constitution that the
people approved of.
The first move towards statehood
was in September, 1868, when the ter
ritorial legislature passed a bill au-
thorizing delegates to be elected to
frame a constitution. The duly elected
delegates met and after framing a con-
stitution which was substantially the
same as that later adopted, turned the
convention into political quarrel and
a split in the dominant party occurred.
The constitution was then voted down
by the aggrieved delegates.
The first attempt proving a failure,
bill was introduced in congress in
February, 1864, giving Nevada another
! chance to form a constitution. While
the bill was before congress Senator
Doolittle of California remarked, NE
yada is a mining community exclusive
ly, and can never be anything else"
The bill was passed, however, and
Territorial Governor Nye called an
other convention and almost the same
constitution as the first was drawn up
at the convention, which assembled in
August of 1864, and this time all
forces worked for harmony. 1t was
submitted to the people and accepted
by a vote of 1888 to 1862 On Oc-
tober 81. 1864, President Lincoln
signed the proclamation making Ne
vada a state.
The first election under the new
constitution took place in November
of that year and II. G. Blasdel was
elected governor and II. G. Worthing-
ton member of congress. The first
senatorial election took place in De-
cember and William w. Stewart and
James w. Nye were chosen as Ne
vada's first representatives in the
senate

SUPT. HUNTING Is
FOR PROGRESSION

Supt. W. j. Hunting, for the past
eleven years city superintendent of the
Carson City schools, is making his
campaign for state superintendent of
schools upon broad platform of prog
ress and constructive reorganization.
Born in Iowa in 1874, educated in
rural, village and city schools, a grad
uate of the State University of Ne
braska, Prof. Hunting has had nine
teen years experience as teacher and
supervisor.
Outside of his work in the Carson
City schools, Supt Hunting has been
widely interested in the school mat
ters of the entire state, having been
for four years president of the Nevada
State Educational Association, mem
ber of the State Text Book Commits
sion, State Director of the National
Education Association, and author of
the 1917 School Apportionment Law.
Supt. Hunting believes the supervi-
sion and control of the public schools
should be non-partisan and free from
personal and machine politics.; that
the deputy superintendent system
should be made more responsive to the
people. Democracy in the supervision
of our schools will not weaken but
rather strengthen the efficiency of the
system. By bringing the selection of
supervisors closer to the people an
effective form or organization with the
vital force of the whole people behind
it can bring far greater results for
the money and effort expended. The
deputies must be made responsible to
the people whom they serve.

To the Voters of Nevada:
AS candidate for congress, l re-
spectfully solicit your support at the
coming election.

different sections of the state and meet
and address the people, as | had hoped
to do. This necessitates a brief state

There are two questions, paramount
in importance, now before the people
of Nevada and of the United States,

ESMERALDA LABOR LIENS

knowledge of the transactions, al
though his name appears on some of
the labor liens. Henderson, after
reading my statement to the public in
the Elko Free Press, then said that
after the election he would settle all
claims, as he did not want it to appear
that the settlement of the claims be-
fore election was a campaign move.
Today we find Charles B. Henderson
running for United States senator. Ten
days ago the undersigned received
without interest, the amount due on
the claims she had held for the last
six years. Ostensibly the money
comes from the Eccles estate The
emissary that appeared at the time
Caine ran for office conducted this
later transaction, first offering a par
tial payment, which was refused He
would not say whom he represented.
Summary
If the Esmeralda labor lien claims
were right for settlement now they
were just and right six years ago
when first entrusted to the defunct
firm of Henderson. Caine & Van Fleet
If they clogged the political foot
steps of Van Fleet and Game the
should prove a stumbling block to
Henderson.
If it took Henderson and his two
legal associates six years to settle a
few straightaway labor and me-
chanics' liens how long would it take
Henderson to secure any federal en-
actments that might benefit Nevada?
If Henderson were ignorant of the
transactions in his own law office
what could not be put over" on him
in Washington?
If he had knowledge of the transac-
tions in his own law office what
couldn't be put over" on the people
of Nevada in Washington?
In short, whom will we naturally be
inclined to favor at Washington judged
by the history of the Esmeralda Labor
Liens?
Sincerely,
(Signed) MRS. ]. c. CHARTERS.
