MANLY STATEMENT BY LENNON
REFUTES POLITICAL AMBITION

Proving that he is one of the really
big-minded men of Nevada and far
above taking advantage of any popu-
larity his indefatigable activity in war
work might bring him, the following
statement has been made by Hal Lem
mon with reference to the political in
tentions attributed to him:
Referring to a paragraph in the
political columns of Saturdays Reno
Gazette, in which Mr.. SpeIIier very
complimentary mentions me as pos
silbe candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, kindly per-
NIT me to make a positive. unequivo-
cal declaration as follows:
Il have never been a candidate for
public Office; l am not now a candi-
date for public Office I never will be
a candidate for public office.
Even were / utterly devoid of
sense of humor and of a knowledge
of the utter absurdity of being con-
sidered gubernatorial timber, the fact
remains that / am merely a very
obscure, unknown private citizen
whom accident has thrown into GER
tain lines of war work. The man,
who under any circumstances would
take advantage of such a situation to
further his own personal ends would,
in my opinion. be as big an all-round
traitor and scoundrel as ever walked
the face of the earth, and l, for one,
would take great pleasure in assist
ing at the shooting which he would so
richly deserve.
Permit me to add that I have
promised the people of Nevada that
there shall be no politics in the state
council of defense, so long as I am
director, and / shall keep that pledge.

GOLDFIELD'S HORSE MEAT
MARKET TO BE THING OF PAST

The horse meat market is on its
last legs, according to the proprietor.
and is about to give vent to its final
whinny, roll over on its side and ex-
pire. 1t had a short life and was
doomed from the start. OF late petit
tions have been circulated against it,
but they were generally known to be
unnecessary. as the market was
bound to return to dust in short
order. The proprietor says the mar
ket will make its final, spasmodic kick

SET CLOCK AHEAD
ONE HOUR TONIGHT

1t is related of an ancient gentle
man named Joshua that he COM
manded the sun to stand still and
that the sun stood as he commanded.
but in the light of recent orders re-
garding daylight Saving plans it is
believed by some Winnemucca people
that Joshua merely set his wrist
watch ahead, as Winnemucca people
will do some time late tonight or
early tomorrow morning.
At 2 o'clock tomorrow morning.
time throughout the United States
will automatically change to O'Clock
and, if before retiring tonight, Win
nemuccans will set their clocks ahead
one hour, all will be we'll when they
awake and the change will have been
effected painlessly.
For instance, if a resident retires
at the eminently proper hour of 10
and sets the alarm clock ahead to IL,
he will awake under the new time and
find that all other clocks agree with
his.
All incoming trains will be one
hour late tomorrow, but thereafter
will agree with the new time. Local
churches will convene according to
the new time tomorrow, so don't get
there an hour late and feel foolish
about it.
