The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1920-10-26

Republican doctrine. The visit of
Tasker L. Oddie, Republican candi-
date for United States Senator. and
Samuel s. Arentz. the engineer can
didate for Representative in Congress,
supplied the need. These gentlemen
were accompanied by Albert Lindley,
regional director Of finance for the
Republican national committee, who,
at the two meetings held, furnished
adornment for the more rugged style
of Nevada oratory presented by the
candidates.
Oddie and Arentz are making a
whilrwind canvass of the state,
travelling mostly by automobile. They
are working in perfect harmony now,
and promise to continue so to do If
elected to Congress. This line of
talk alone sounds pretty good to Ne
vada people at the present time.
Taken in connection with the further
well-known fact that these candidates
are thoroughly well posted on Nevada
affairs in general, both having pros
pected, mined, and ranched in the
state, their program presents pleas
ing appearance to voters.
All over the state the Republican
candidates have met with most grafi-
flying receptions. Particularly at
Elko and Winnemucca, known as
Democratic strongholds,' has the
sentiment in their favor been impress
sive. Two meetings were held in this
city yesterday, one at four o'clock In
the afternoon being expressly for the
newly-formed Women's Harding
Coolidge Club, at Winneva hall. All
three of the speakers made short ad-
dresses there.
The meeting at the American thea
tire last night was splendid one.
Before the doors were opened at
seven o'clock people were standing in
front of the place awaiting admit
tance. At 7:15 only few seats re-
NAMED vacant at the front of the
auditorium. People were standing in
the rear when l.. G. Campbell, mas
ter of ceremonies, arose to introduce
Ex-Governor Oddie, the first speaker.
's1lsessrs.- Oddie and Arentz spoke
largely of practical matters affecting
the welfare and prosperity of Nevada.
1t was evident that both gentlemen
had thought deeply along this line.
The audience laughed at Oddie's de-
scription of how the campaigning
party had been compelled to eat
Swift & Co. canned Argentine beef
within sight of a large herd of Ne
vada cattle which could not be mark
eted at profit, but the incident was
a powerful illustration of the situa-
tion into which industries of the
United States, and particularly of the
West, had been plunged by Democra-
tic free-trade policies.
Captain Arentz presented some
definite ideas regarding Nevada's
water supply, which is now used to
only a trifiing extent, and declared
that he. as an engineer, could present
practical legislation for betterment
if these conditions. He also spoke
feelingly and understandingly of the
problems of the ex-service man.
The Silver State regrets that the
speeches of these candidates may not
be given in full, but space and time
prohibit Only general sentences.
giving an idea of the scope of the
speeches, may be presented. How
ever. it may be said the visit and ad-
dresses of the Republican candidates
for Senator and Representative has
strengthened sentiment, already ex-
listing in Humboldt. that change
from Democratic misrule is abso-
lutely necessary, and that voting for
a Republican President and Demo-
cratic Senator and Representative
would be something more serious
than nonsense, as the Nevada vote,
particularly for Senator, may decide
the political complexion of the next
Congress, and opposing policies might
tie the hands of the government for
another four years.
Oddie's Speech
Oddie's talk was forceful and to the
point He confined himself to as
short space of time as possible and
upon arising stated his idea of the
principal issues of this campaign
the protective tariff and the league Of
nations. He put himself on record as
emphatically in favor of the tariff and
against the league in its present
form. He pointed out that if Hender-
son is reelected he will be duty
bound to vote with his party in or
ganizing the Senate and will then
have no way of helping to secure
tariff.
The stenographic report of the es-
sential part of Oddies speech on the
tariff is as follows: "If the livestock
man is successful, the small farmer
is prosperous. Today the small
farmer is beginning to suffer because
of the tremendous importation of for
eign livestock into our country. The
great hackers Of the cattle men In
New York have interests in Argen-
