He opposed the draft law. He said II

to make the North pay for 1t. He has
carried out his threat so far. He has
framed tax bills which weigh heavily
on northern industry and capital. He
has opposed making cotton paying it's
share of the war expense. His idea
of national finance is to soak the
northern business man and northern
farmer.

ANOTHER INSTANCE
OF HIS POPULARITY

In an editorial captioned Judge
Edw. A. Duc.ser Fully Qualified TO Sit
on State Supreme Bench" the Reno
Journal of October q said:
Judge Edward A. Ducker of the
sixth judicial district court, who is a
candidate for the position of associate
justice of the state supreme court,
possesses the necessary qualifications
for that office.
He has been on the district bench
for ten years, and in this time his
integrity, his application, his even
holding of the scales of justice and
his fairness have carried him to a
high place in the estimation of the
bar OF Nevada.
At times he has been presiding
judge in districts other than his own
He is well known in the second judi
cial district, where he has been called
to the bench in several important
suits and trials and, hence, to the
lawyers and to many of the people
of this part of the state he needs no
Introduction.
Judge Ducker planned to be can
didate in 1916, but the loss of loved
member of the family caused his with
drawal from the race Since then
his friends have been urging him to
seek a position in the states highest
court and some weeks ago he formally
announced his candidacy.
So far as the duties of his office
have permitted, Judge Ducker has Wis
tied certain parts of Nevada to pre-
sent his case to the great jury of the
whole people, and reports received
show that he has many friends every
where. who believe he will make a
hardworking, conscientious, impair
tial and dignified member of the state
supreme bench.

CENTRAL SERVICE STATION
TO GO ON CASH BASIS

To the Public: Among other things,
the war economy board of the council
of national defense has requested that
business be conducted as far as pos
sible on a cash basis, especially with
respect to the sale of parts, acces-
sories and repairs. Jobbers, dealers
and garage men throughout the coun-
try are acceding to this demand. Plac-
ing business on a cash basis will do
more good to this country than can
be realized by the average dealer who
has been doing business by other
methods.
Compliance with the request of the
council of national defense will result
in saving a large amount of money for
war purposes and will eventually
place business on a much firmer foot
ing. This is especially true of the
dealer where sales are limited. He
must realize an actual cash profit ON
each transaction. The cash basis is
the most firm foundation upon which
to build.
Our service in supplying STOCK de-
pends absolutely on the cooperation
of customers in placing our business
on cash basis
On and after November / no credit
will be extended to anyone and all
outstanding accounts must be paid by
that date.

WHERE'S THE ARGUMENT3

The vets tell us that George Wash
ington ran distillery. This is only
half of it. When George and some
others of the old timers wanted more
territory they traded barrel of rum
to the Indians and secured the land.
Since that day Uncle Sam has made it
against the law to give or sell whisky
to the Indian. Just what connection
Washington's distillery has to do with
the wet and dry movement in Nevada
is hard to make out: they should re-

NO WORD YET ABOUT BOY
WOUNDED JUNE 80, THIS YEAR

OF interest to Winnemuccans is the
fact that no further word has been
received concerning Verne Robins. On
September Is his father, F. A. Robins

war department that Verne, serving
Uncle Sam with the marines in Fracne.
had been severely wounded on June 80
last. Although every effort has been
made to gain information concerning
the young man, so far no news has
been forthcoming. That he might be
a prisoner in Germany is a plausible
reason, thus accounting for the long
time required for communication.

Both of these statements are ABSO-
LUTELY FALSE.
The Nevada prohibition bill, to be
voted upon next month, specifically
provides that druggists shall be al
lowed to carry in stock, and sell alco-
hol or alcoholic products for medicinal
use upon physicians prescription, or
sell the same, to an adult without a
physicians prescription, who will
make affidavit that his purchase is
solely for medicinal use and not for
use as beverage.
There is positively no law now in
effect that will close the saloons of
Nevada on July l, 1919.
A bill is now pending in congress.
which has NOT BEEN PASSED
which provides for the closing, during
the period of the war and during the
period of rehabilitation only, of all
saloons throughout the country. This
bill has not been passed by congress
and may never be passed.
And even if this bill does pass ii
will be imperative after the war end
and the troops are disbanded. after
which time it will permit all saloons
to reopen.
Every voter should understand this
fact thoroughly. The congressional
BILL now pending in congress. pro-
poses to make the nation dry only tenn
porarily. II positively does not pro
vide for permanent national prohibi
ton. The law has not yet beer
enacted, but If it should be it will be
temporary in character and as soon
as the troops are disbanded all saloons
will be permitted TO operate as before.
There is just one way to make Ne
yada permanently dry-that is by the
passage of the Nevada initiative bill.
You will vote on this bill in the next
election, and to pass it your vote
should be YES Editorial from the
