NEWSPAPERS ORDERED TO CUT
USE OF PAPER BY Is PER CENT

Paper mills have been listed as an
essential industry. the priorities di-
vision of the war industries board has
announced, on the understanding that
the greatest possible economy will be
exercised in the use of paper and that
newspapers will reduce their con-
sumption of news print fifteen per
cent on daily editions and twenty per
cent on Sunday editions.
Publishers believe, it was said. that
with diseontinuanee of many wasteful
practices and institution of a sliding
scale of reduction in rea|ng matter,
will accomplish the required curtail-
nen without interfering with the ad-
yertising columns.
The war industries board is said to
favor the principle that no new news

Reno. August 3. 1918.

Reno. August 3, 1918.
To the Press of Nevada - was
prompted to enter this campaign, feel
ing deeply that the activities of Con-
gresham Roberts are so inconsistent
with the record Of Nevada for loyalty
and patriotism, that unless he makes a
more satisfactory explanation to his
constituents than has thus far ap-
peared, his record, far from emitting
him to promotion to the United States
Senate, should cause his unconditional
retirement by the people of Nevada.
The espousal of this cause by me
represents a serious personal sacri-
fee, which | cheerfully make in the
interest of vindicating the reputation
of Nevada as the battle-born state thar
still seriously means and lives its
motto, "All for our country"
| was born and raised in Nevada and
since boyhood have been thrilled by
its proud record of patriotic achieve
ment in supporting President Lincoln
and the Union in the great civil war.
Congressman Roberts record, thus
far wholly unexplained, in voting for
the infamous McLemore resolution,
then against the declaration of wal.
and after we had entered the war.
against important appropriation bills
and Che conscription bill. cannot but
result in impugning Nevada's standing
for loyalty in the view of the other
patriotic states of the Union
The people of our state have ex-
ceeded the record of all other states
in Liberty bond subscriptions, War
Stamp purchases, Red Cross donations,
enlistents of our boys to fight for their
country. etc. These facts, however.
are not widely known outside of Ne
vada, whereas the record of Congress-
man Roberts is being published broad
cast throughout the Union and is natu-
rally the basis on which the people OF
other states estimate the character of
Nevada for loyalty and patriotism, or
the lack of both.
Let Congressman Roberts return to
Nevada and explain his conduct, or let
all loyal Nevadans do their share to
oust him as he deserves. My purpose
is to be absolutely just to the con-
gresham, but l sincerely feel that the
press of the state should render the
service of calling the attention of the
people to his record. ! likewise be-
lieve that he is clearly entitled to pub
licity of such defense as he may have
to make.
The newspapers of Nevada deserve
great credit for their unselfish efforts
in bringing home TO our people the
terrible meaning of the war and the
Importance of the coming election or
its victorious conclusion. Realizing
the vital significance of the coming
primary election, | am confident that
the deep feeling of patriotism that ami
mates the citizens of Nevada will
prompt them to register without fail
before August 13.
