the state in response to the KIND
editorial, of my home papers. endors-
ing my candidacy for place on the
Supreme Bench. wish TO state that
while do sincerely appreciate such

can not possibly entertain any such
plans, certainly not this year.
fully realize that such promotlon
i worthy the ambition OF any one, and

position for another term. hoping that
the gracious consideration of my con-
stituents will permit me to do so
Also, am throroughally satisfied

the judiciary is by letter OF the law
made non-political, and very properly
so. believe it should also be 80

any and all political contests in this

Governor Boyle, Tasker l.. Oddie
and A. Grant Miller came to Yering-
ton Monday to organize the County
Council of Defense. The preliminary
meeting was held in the afternoon and
in the evening full house gathered
to hear the message brought by these
earnest men who have left their diff
ferences behind and are striving
shoulder to shoulder for the safety
OF Cur beloved country.
The meeting, which was held in the
Mutual Theatre, was presided over
by {. j. Guild who introduced Tasker
l.. Oddie first Mr.. Oddie explained
the purpose OF this work. Defense
councils are organized il, every state
oil the United States to cooperate
with the National Council which is
composed of six members OF the Pres-
ident's cabinet with Secretary Baker
at the head. Each county has a
council also and the county councils
are assisted in their work by commit
tees which are appointed IL every
SSnooi uIStIitt IIis cooperation II
absolutely necessary fo- speed and
efficiency. Our industrial. army rlust
provide for our fighting army and it
is a serious task.
He urged that every one give OF his
time and talent for this necessary
work. We must win the war and the
only way to do it is 20 work harder.
TO give more, to show the world that
America is made OF tire right stuff.
Governor Boyle made an earnest
appeal 10 every Nevadan to build up
the County Council. to effect the test
organization possible. ard to break
down internal strife Immediately. The
best organization will win. He was
expected OF us in the way of work, Of
money, OF sacrifices. stating that the
war expenditures for this year will
reach an astounding total. equaling
the expenses OF the national govern
ment for the whole period OF our
existence All must bear this burd-
en-. TIE work OF the county councils OF
defense will lie to see that all do their
share. Public opinion will help and
ii tlut does not bring the slackers and
Indifferent ones to keen sense of
their duty, then they will be ferced
to It. Home rule in war work is the
slogan. There are some 6S lines OF
war work for which we are respons-
blc and il will be the duty OF the
councils to zee that none are neglect
ed. 1t will go hard with those who
count their dollars too dear. Ciyil-
ians will win or lose the war; the army
must be supported and traspGrted. as
well as food and munitions.
Every one who heard the governor
ent away with a feeling that he was
in solemn earnest, that he knew
whereof he spoke.
a. Grant Miller made mastery ap-
peal to the people. His view of the
situation is that we are under COM
pusion to win this war for the sake
OF democracy. The only question in
any mind should be, How best can
| serve? The price must be paid.
Our man power, our industrial power,
cur financial power. our moral power,
must be bent to the one purpose OF

bULGAR RULER
 QUITS POST IN
 FAVOR OF SON
Crown Prince Boris of Bulgaria Is Now the Reigning Monarch
 of That Kingdom.

COPENHAGEN. - The Copeii1- hagen Official News Bureau says that Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria has abdicated the throne in favor of his son Crown Prince Boris, who will shortly be crowned czar of Bulgaria.
 The abdication of the Bulgarian throne by Czar Ferdinand is re- ported to have taken place last Thursday. No reason is assigned for his action, but it is thought that the recent deflection of Bull garia from her alliance win the Central Powers has had much to do with his decision to quit his job.
