Information is Sent Out by Super
intendent Jones Leading Effort
of Business Interests to Line Up
Nevada in Dry Column

Contest for governorship of the
state OF Nevada is centering almost
exclusively i'll interest around the
question of ratification OF the Ma
tiona Prohibition Amendment arc
the adoption of temperance legisla-
ton in that state. The liquor interests
are putting TIP fight in line with
their usual methods. The substantial
business interests OF the state have
long broken from alliance with the
liquor forces and are i'll line with the
desire to have Nevada relieved from
saloon and brewery influence.
(. F. Jones. superintendent OF the
Nevada Anti-Saloon League, in direct
ing the fight for ratification and state
wide Prohibition, as the representa-
tive of the substantial interests of the
state which desire the accomplish
ment OF these reforms, gives out the
following statement in connection
with the candidates for the governor
ship on the Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets. THIS report comes un-
der the head of:
Turning on the Light in Nevada;
the Candidates for Governor
In the contest for Governor at
the primaries there will be but
two to select candidate from on
the Republican ticket, ex-Gov-
ernor Oddie and William K.
Kearney. There is no uncertain
sound in the declarations of Mr..
Oddie.
On the Democratic ticket will
be found the names OF four cam
didates, Governor Emmett D.
Boyle, Samuel Pickett, Ben d.
Luce and George B. Thatcher.
There is no uncertain sound in
the declaration OF Mr. Boyle.
Mr. Oddie comes square out in
his platform for nationwide and
statewide Prohibition, while Mr..
Boyle in his letter to the press
says as plainly as language can
be spoken that he stands for ma
tion-wide and statewide Prohibi-
ton.
Mr.. Kearney's wet friends are
making strenuous efforts to pull
the lambs hair Cor wooD" over
the eyes of the innocent dry voter
by claiming that their friend
kearney is just as dry as Oddie
and there is no wet and dry issue
in the governorship race anyhow,
that the people will settle that at
the polls. BE NOT DECEIVED
OR THEY WILL MOCK AT
YOU WHEN THE LEGISLA-
TURE is ASKED TO RATIFY
THE NATIONAL CONSTITU-
TIONAL AMENDMENT. AND
WE HAVE A GOVERNOR
THAT is OPPOSED TO 1T.
No state has ratified yet with the
Governor opposing it.
L nS WSl lIlGlluS OF the CanQf-
dates, Sam Pickett. Ben d. Luce
and Geo. B. Thatcher. are en-
ploying the same tactics in the
Democratic family These plans
are as old as the German Ameri-
can Alliance and have been used
by them in every campaign. That
organization was put out of bust
ness by unanimous vote of Con-
gress, but as they thought out
these effective plans of propa-
ganda, they were readily adopted
by the father and financial back
er, the United States Brewers AS
ISOLATION" and are being used in
the Nevada campaign today.
The question is, Will the good
people of Nevada permit them
selves to be hoodwinked, or will
they resent this old Chestnut
that is being worked in the gu
bernatorial campaign?
