G. 0. ?. HOLD /
DISMAL LOVE FEAST

Rink Hall was filled with people
last night who listened patiently
while number Of orators tried to cx-
plain why the Republican party
should prevail i'll the coming election.
George Willis told funny story
about Happy Hooligan which no
doubt made many converts. He also
lanlbasted Anne Martin. But at that
he made the best speech of the
evening.
Rev. Dixon said he would tell us
why he was a Republican, and then he
proceeded to roast Jimmy Cox.
He said Governor Cox approved law
closing the front door OF the saloons
but that he left the back door open
The Rev. speaker did't tell his audi
ence whether or not Governor Cox
was a detective whose duty it was to
go around examining peoples back
doors
George Springmeyer was great
disappointment. The usual force and
fire of this former progressive has all
been extinguished, and we really ex-
pected the choir to sing Rock of
Ages when he sat down.
MarkWalser got off that old stereo-
typed bunk about the tariff amidst
tumultuous silence.
The best part of the program was
the singing by a number of Yerington
ladies. assisted by County Clerk Raw
SON The singing was greatly enjoyed
and heartily applauded.

tered in Class A from Sweetwater, Nc

SILVER FOX RAISING
EXPENSIVE INVESTMENT

Just because fox skin is worth
1900 to 1900 dollars don't run away
with the idea that it is all profit says
tn Carson Appeal. A year ago Char
ley and Dick Kirman started a fox
farm at Lake Tahoe. A number of tn,
foxes were imported from Canada and
all promised well.
During the winter two of the ami
mails escaped. valued at $500 each
Then couple or the pups died this
summer and recently six more foxes
were started west. On the way west
two dogs i'll the batch died, and as the
express company would only insure
them for $50 the loss can be calculated
without any scrous mental strain
That kirman and Lewis are not dis
couraged is evidenced when they start
ed Bill Lewis east again to gather up
a couple of dog foxes to replenish the
loss.
1t took the first year to get onto
the curves that go with the business
and it is figured that it will be at least
two more years before the sarm is on
paying basis.
The demand for the fur is ever in
creasing and the prices soar each sea-
son. AS high as $1,000 has been paid
for one select silver fox skin, ant
Charley Lewis has one running in the
pens that will reach the top notch, SO
he says.
1t sounds like fascinating game
with the prices quoted, but one loss
such as sustained by the Nevada ven
turers, would set most of them back
a notch where the ladies would be
without trimmings.

MISS MARTINS MEETING

Miss Anne Martin addressed an
audience of nearly 200 people last Sun
day afternoon. Miss Martin is ac-
companied by a rather pugnacious
little lady by the name of Mullin
(Frinch, suppose), who looks after
the practical part of things for the fair
Senatorial aspirant, and she speaks
right out in meetin
Miss Martins address, which was
practically the same as that delivered
here two months ago, was listened to
with marked attention and frequently
applauded. She seems quite confident
of election, and even if such an event
should come to pass the world would
probably move along in its accus-
toned way.
Some funny person. let us hope
mischievious boy, created little ex-
citement by turning dog loose with
a tin can fastened to. his tail, Instead
of causing the amusement expected,
this incident aroused the Indignation
of those present and resulted in more
good than harm to Miss Martin.

CAST YOUR VOTE
FOR anne MARTIN

Voters of Nevada, during my CAM
paign !for the U. S. Senate I have
tried to show you that the money
power dominates both the Republican
and Democratic parties, chooses their
principal candidates and makes their
platforms. | hold there is no differ
ence between the two parties. They
are both for great financial interests.
Neither Oddie nor Henderson, if elect
I'd, could help the people Ior they are
both bound to big business. l am
running as an Independent because |
am determined to fight the profiteers
and end the domination of the great
financial interests over our govern
ment. | have shown how Mr.. Hen
-derson failed to Eight for you when the
Esch- -Cummins bill increasing the cost
of living for everyone OF us by SIS a
year was passed. When the vote on
that measure was taken he was paired
with an absent senator, which means
that he allowed an absentee who was
for the Esch-Cummins bill to kill his
vote which claims would have been
against it. He is recorded as mot
voting" He lodged the issue.
l have asked you to consider the
justice and necessity OF sending a
woman to the U. S. Senate. No mat
ter how kindly disposed men legisla-
tors may be they cannot look after
the interests of women and children as
woman would. More babies under
one year OF age die in the United
States every year than in any civilized
country in the world. We must have
government control for these children
and mothers. A woman senator will
fight for such legislation as no man
man could.
In reply to the objection that |
could accomplish little in the Senate,
| have called your attention to the
fact that the only woman Senator
could secure nationwide publicity
publicity for the measures she advo-
Gates and help create such public
opinion for them that even the reac-
tionary Senate would be forced to
adopt them. To those who fear an
Independent could accomplish nothin.

He GAN HELP A
LOCAL ENTERPRISE
(By- Sam Belford)

(Bys sam beIfOrdJ
The Mason Valley Mines Company,
in order that it might be enabled to re-
open its smelter at Thompson, has
been engaged in an effort to secure de-
cent freight rates on ore and concen-
trates, so as to enable it to have ac-
cess to ore within reasonable distance
from its plant. The Western Pacific
Railroad Company, in the interest of
the Salt Lake smelters, controlled
and operated by the great smelter COM
bine, has persistantly refused to treat
Nevada mining and smelter interests
with the fairness which the law is Sup
posed to enact iron every carrier.
That railroad has used its power to
suppress the mining industry in the
Western part of Nevada, in order that
mine owners and prospectors could
find no outlet for their ores except on
tn terms dictated by this smelter com
bination. The Western Pacific has
disregarded every obligation it owes
as public and common carrier and
has made itself the active ally Oh the
eastern srnelters for purposes that are
utterly selfish and sordid. We think
it is fair and just that the people of the
Yerington district should know some
thing Of the Facts pertaining to this
controversy. During the period of the
Federal control the Mason Valley
Company asked Charles B. Henderson
TO present our case to the Railroad
Administration. Senator Henderson
did this. He did it with conspicuous
ability and with absolute fidelity to the
interests of Nevada. No man could
have done more than he did. His ef-
forts were constantly directed to re-
move the discrimination under which
Nevada mining interests are suffering.
All the influence he possessed and all
the ability he could exert were thrown
into this fight. In order to defeat his
efforts, the Railroad Administration,
acting through Mr.. Max Thelan, adopt
cd rule the mining interests in
volved in that fight could not possibly
comply with and then denied the appli-
cation for fair and reasonable rate.
We felt, aud we feel now, that Senator
Henderson was deserving of the thanks
of everyone connected with the mi
ming industry in this part of the state
for the splendid, aggressive and cou-
rageous battle he fought in their behalf
That the rate was not secured was not
due in any sense to any failure on the
part of Senator Henderson He did
all that an able, faithful courageous
and conscientious public servant could
do, and If the efforts OF any one man
could have re-opened the smelter, to
our mines and to your mines Senator
Henderson would have re-opened it.
