MEAGER REPORTS OF STRIKE
COME FROM SIMON DISTRICT

Reports from the Simon district
are to the effect hat another sensa-
tional strike has been made on the
estate of the Simon-Fagan Mining
Company. Particulars of the strike
are meager, but 1t is said the ore will
run from $500 TO $1,000 per ton. Spe-
cimens of the ore shown are literally
sprinkled with native silver, and as
far as may be judged it is undoubt-
eddy the richest strike of ore yet
made in the Simon district. and 1t has
created no little excitement.
The strike was made In the west
drift that is being run from the bot
tom of the shaft and In a different
direction from those previously made,
which considerably expands the ore
zone of the Pagan holdings. As the
orebody has just been broken into,
its extent cannot be even conjectured,
but gathering from the reports of
parties who were in the workings IL
is the biggest find yet.-IWestern

1.-THE following most interesting let
ter is not published as an expression
of political sentiment by The Silver
State. At a time when Republican
presidential propaganda is beginning
to be circulated, it is interesting as
well as instructive to the West to
read the opinions of the East, as
gathered by a reliable and expert
enced man.-Ed.1

insistent. They declare he would ap-
peal to those who have believed in the
league and yet sought to amend 1t in
mild particulars; that he would APP
peal to labor because of his friendly
attitude while chairman of the War
Labor Board; that he generously sup
ported the administration throughout
the war; that he is a proctectionist
and yet favors reciprocity; that he
would give the country a sound
administration based upon consti-
%tutional principles.
Against the former President it is
contended that he was defeated so
badly and committed so many
plumbers as to make 1t unsafe for the
party to risk his leadership again. In
deed it may be said that he is the
~favorite candidates of the Democrats
for the Republican nominee, just as
President Wilson is the ~favorite can
didate Of the Republicans for the
democratic domination
For Pershing it is urged that he
is the hero" of the war with Ger
many, inasmuch as he led the Ameri-
can troops to victory. Against him
it is said that he would start his
campaign with a handicap of the op-
position of 2.OOO.O 900 soldiers of the
A.E.F.
Vice Presidential Timber
For Hughes il is held that in a
time of d~isrespect for law he would
resuscitate its importance and give
the country a clean and efficient ad-
ministration: that his nomination and
election would right his defeats on the
plea of Thank God for wilson-he
kept us out of war" Against him it
is declared that 1916 was enough.
The names most prominently men,
toned for the vice presidency are
those of Governor Lowden for his
effect on the Middle West, very
wealthy men having been selected
for second place on the ticket;
Senator Borah of Idaho, on the
ground that he would bring more
votes to the party than anyone else
in the West could; Senator Watson
for his effect on Indiana, where Gov
ernor Goodrich's tax law has proven
exceedingly unpopular: Senator Hard
ing and Representative Simeon D..
Tess for their influence in Republi-
canizing Ohio, and Senator James s
Frelinghuysen. of New Jersy, as a
representative of the East.

it most needs retrenchment an,

it most needs retrenchment and
economy.
1t is said against him that he is
merely the favorite son of Illinois and
is not well known to the people out
side of the Middle West; that he is
the son-in-law of George NJ. Pullman,
of pa~lace-car fame, and possessed of
a fortune estimated at $40, 900, 900;
that in a time of social and industrial
unrest the Republican party could not
afford to chance defeat with such a
candidate in the event of a close con
test, in view of the fact that every
previous President has been a COM
paratively poor man; that his c~onsoli-
dalton of bureaus in Illinois has
caused greater and not less expense
to the state.
Harding Out of It
OF Senator Harding of Ohio. it is
stated that he has not taken a suf-
ficiently definite position in any con
troversy to do harm to his candidacy:
that ne is a capable business man and
a splendid speaker; that he is a dis
tinguished and all-round American in
appearance and experience.
Against him it is pointed out that
he has been so careful not to make a
mistake that he does not stand forth
as representing any great issue and
has eliminated himself from serious
consideration. He is also quoted as
having announced a decision to run
for the Senate again
Senator Watson of Indiana. Is
brought forward as a splendid cam
paigner, expressive of an aggressive
and unalloyed Republicanism. who
would win by his personal appeal: that
he is loyal to his friends and his
party; that he is a trained legislator
and is thoroughly versed in the af-
fairs of government as the result of
many years of ripe experience. and in
a long drawn-out convention like
that of 1888 he would be most likely
to be nominated.
Against him it is charged that he is
not sufficiently a national figure and
is regarded as somewhat reactionarv
In behalf Of Senator Johnson of
California, 1t is urged that he rep-
resents the fight against the league of
nations covenant, as submitted by
President Wilson and bespeaks pro-
gressive Republicanism; that the
same progressive administration he
gave to California as governor he
would give to the nation; that he was
received with tremedous enthusiasm
in the course of his tour in speaking
against the Presidents views.
Taft Has Few Friends
Those opposed to the California
Senator say that he favors the govern
ment ownership Of railroads as an
nounced by him last spring, and that
any change in his views now would be
considered %insincere; that he is al
legged, rightly or wrongly, to have
been responsible for the defeat of
Hughes in 1916; that he is geograph-
ically impossible.
While those who consider Taft
are few they are mot ls.s

(By Smell Smith,

WASHINGTON, D.C.-If the over
whelming sentiment of Republican
members of the House and Senate is
a criterion, General Leonard Wood
will be the next nominee of his party
for the Presidency.
BY a vote of 116 in the House and
twenty in the Senate, as against o
field of fifteen possible competitors,
in a secret poll taken by your cor
respondent, he outdistanced them all.
He received not only more prefer
ences than any of the other can
didates, but his total revealed more
expression for him than for all his
competitors combined.
This question was put to each
senator and representative: who, in
your opinion, will be the nominee of
the Republican party for the Presi-
dency in 1920?" 1t was put to each
verbally on a pledge of confidence.
The replies indicate the following re-
suit:

Senators are Candidates
Senator Knut Nelson. of MINES
sofa, declares he is the only member
IF the Senate who is not a candidate
and that the only reason he is o is
that he was born in Norway.
In Illinois, with LowG-n as the
favorite son, Senators Sherman md
Mccormick were counted as express
ing a preference for him. Likewise in
Indiana not only Watson but New
are classified as for the former. To
designate closely the preference of
states or small groups of states would
reveal the identity of Senators voting
in the poll. Hence the Republican
| senators are divided into two class
iications, those east and those west
of the Mississippi river. OF the
twenty-nine senators east of the
Mississippi twelve voted for Wood,
two for Lowden, three for Watson,
four for Harding. one for Johnson,
one for Sutherland, one for Edge,
one for Lenroot, n for Hughes and
three were n~oncommital. OF the
twenty Republican senator's west of
the Mississippi eight expressed a pre-
ference for Wood, one for Lowden
three for Johnson. one for Borah. one
for kellogg, one for Spencer, one for
Pershing and two for Poindexter.
Two we're noncommital
522 on First Ballot
If the states where the majority of
members of Congress who expressed
the conviction that there is more
sentiment in their respective districts
and states for General Wood than for
any other candidate vote the same
way in the Republican National Con-
vention, he will receive 522 votes on
the first ballot, not counting any of
the states of the South which have no
Republican representative. AT any
rate, in the sixteen years that / have
been taking this poll is has so far
never failed to indicate the nominee.
While members of Congress do not
always control the delegates from
their respective districts, they do with
accuracy reflect the sentiment of the
country.
Those who favor General Wood
have this to say for him:
That he has a f%orceful, aggressive
and attractive personality.
That he is a national figure and is
popular in every section of the
country.
That he typifies a vigorous Ameri-
canism as expressed by his leadership
in the preparedness movement which
made victory in the war possible, and
by his opposition to divided allegiance.
That in the event of possible trouble
with Mexico or Japan from without
or with Bolshevism from within
he would be the man most capable of
meeting it.
An Efficient Administrator
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1919-11-20
An Efficient Administrator

That he more than any other can
didate pensonifies the Roosevelt ideals
due to his long friendship for and
close association with the late Presi-
dent
That he would provide an efficient
administration based upon common
sense, as evidenced by his executive
experience in Cuba, the Philippines
and the army during and before the
war.
That he would not seek to over
shadow the executive, legislative and
judicial branches of the government,
but would surround himself with a
cabinet of big men and consult Con-
gress.
That, with the exception of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, he is the OILY man
President Wilson kept out of war,
though he is the only general officer
wounded at the front.
That ninety per cent Of the soldiers
who participated in the war are
friendly to him, partly due to the be-
lief that he would "clean up the
bunch" at the head of the War De-
partmtnt and the army and partly to
the fact that he is opposed to a big
standing army.
That he would fulfill the traditions
of the Republican party in elevating
to the Presidency men of patriotic
military experience, as exemplifed in
Lincoln, Grant ,Hayesl Garfield,
Arthur. Harrison, Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
That he is progressive, but not a
Progressive and would be certain to
unite all the elements of the Republi-
a party.
That his attitude in the Gary strike
in refusing to prevent picketing while
assisting in the maintenance of law
and order was unassailable.
1t is said against him that he is a
military man..
LOwden's Case Presented
The friends of Frank o. Lowden,
the wal governor of Illinois declare
that he has given the state an ire
proachably clean and remarkably eff
cient administration; that he is a
farmer and would appeal to the
farmers; that he has been friendly to
labor and would appeal to labor; that
he is a business man and would APP
Zeal to business men,; that he has had
experience in national politics as a
member of the House. and that he
would give the country a clean and
efficient administration at time when
