The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1919-10-07

lwage an aggressive campaign of edu-
cation to let the people of Nevada
know just what ratification of the
peace treaty without amending the
league covenant means to the United
States.
James NJ. Beck, who will deliver the
initial address in Nevada under the
auspices of the league of which Hutch
inson is the state president, is con-
sidered one of the leading Democratic
attorneys of the East. He was at
torney-general during the Cleveland
administration.
The appointment of Hutchinson
bears out the contention that all the
Democratic leaders of the state are
not in favor of the league covenant
as it now stands. When the final
showdown comes there will be a
great many prominent Democrats
throughout the state who will be lined
up with Hutchinson and Belford and
Kunz in opposition to the league.
Persons who have found it neees-
sary to appeal to Neyada's repre-
s%entatives in Washington for assist
ance in any projects or information
about any subject. say they cannot
avoid noticing the contrast between
the methods employed by Senator
Henderson and those of Senator Pitt
man, in so far as prompt action is
concerned. Senator Henderson, they
say, always comes back with a tele-
gram, usually within a few hours af-
ter he is appealed to, while they claim
a reply of any sort is seldom received
from Senator Pittman. OF course
Senator Henderson's term expires
next year. while Senator Pittman has
a mortgage on his job till two years
later. q condition that might be re-
sponsible for the widely varying de-
grees of interest displayed by the two
senator's in their constituents.
And in speaking of prompt action
from official Washington. Congress
man Evans should not be overlooked.
1t is the experience of practically all
who have appealed to him on any
matter. that he has given it hi i'm
mediate personal attention and has
generally brought desired results.
OF course, Congressman Evans seere-
tary served in a like capacity for his
predecessor, Congressman Roberts.
and she is well schooled in the meth
DDS of keeping a congressman in good
standing with the folks at home.
Reports from all parts of the state
are to the effect that the boom
launched some timme ago for James
G.. Scrugham al the next Democratic
g~ubernatorial candidate isy growing in
strength and volume. Rumors of the
formation of what probably will de-
yelop, as time progresses, into an
alright combination pledged to work
for the interest Of the present state
engineer for governor and Governor
Boyle for United States senator are
rife from all sections of the state.
They lay the launching of this parti-
! boom to the governor and
many insist that he was prompted in
doing so by a desire to have a strong
candidate with him when he cam
paigns the state for the senatorial
nomination. This indicates that the
governors retirement speech de-
livered at Tonopah. only recently, is
not being taken with any great de-
gree of seriousness by politicians in
his w party.
There is a strong probability. how
ever, that Colonel S~crugham will not
have any opposition in the primary
for the gu%bernatorial nomination.
There seems to be a strong inclina-
ton on the part of the real leaders
of that wing of the Democratic marty
