Tasker L. Oddie, candidate for
United States senator, Samuel
Arentz, nominee of the same party
for congress, and Attorney Brouil-

before large crowd at the pavilion
last evening. Republicans, demo-
Gratis and socialists united In listen
ing to the raucous oratory that was
centered largely on the league of
nations issue. Brouilette informed
the crowd that he was speaking as
an attorney and as such he was
thoroughly enjoyed. He succeeded
in convincing the republicans pres
ent that he knew more about the
league of nations covenant than
President Wilson or Lloyd George
or Clemenceau. Democrats who
were there remained democrats

ular democratic party nominees
gain in strength. Both have Great

of the very finest types of citizen

either party has so typified energy
and capability in duo of legislative
nominees and this paper feels GER
tain that the fact will not go unap-

they can make no mistake.

Republicans Killed
Soldier $ Bonus

What the soldiers of America may
expect from republican admin
stration can be judged from the
manner in which the optional bonus
bill was killed by republican reae-
tionary Senators Penrose and
Smoot, says the Tonopah Times.
This bill which had the endorse
ment or the American Legion was
introduced in the lower house of
congress and referred to the ways
and means committee in which the
republicans had majority of three.
The democratic members of the
committee urged that the money
necessary to pay the bonus be rails
ed by taxing stock dividends which
had escaped taxation under a SUI
preme court decision. This would
have hit Wall street, SO Representa-
tive Mondell, republican, leader of
the house, attacked the bill.
The democrats in the house
caucused and passed a resolution
favoring the passage of the bill
Then the bill was reported out of
committee and was passed almost
unanimously. Ii went to the SEN
ate, where it was sent to the finance
committee, of which Penrose, reac-
tionary republican senator, was
chairman, and Smoot, also reaction
airy, was acting chairman.
The committee of the American
Legion urged the committee to re-
port the bill to the senate without
recommendation If they were un-
willing to recommend it.
There is no question but the bill
would have passed in the senate If
1t had ever been presented before
that body. but Penrose and Smoot
blocked this move effectively. All
but four democratic senator's and at
least fifteen republican senators
would have voted for the measure
as a matter of justice to the men
who had fought in the war.
But Penrose and Smoot, members
Of the republican oligarchy, acting
in. the interest of Wall street and
big business, saw to it that no re-
lief for the soldier boy was possible,
for the bill died in their arms.
These are the men who picked
Senator Harding as republican can
didate for president. He is one of
the same crowd, swayed by the same
emotions, playing the Wall street
game with them.
The American soldier was denied
the bonus. 1t would have been
paid by taxation levied on stock
dividends and these stock dividends
have escaped taxation entirely be-
cause republican reactionary sena-
tors refused to allow the bill to go
before the senate.
In the face of this republicans
seek to secure the votes of the mem
bers of the American Legion. They
have gone on record to kill the
league of nations covenant and they
are on record as having killed the
bonus for veterans of the great war

Senator Henderson Has Overflow Meeting


" oii operdloTs III the ration dis
trict, issue not so much through
faulty provisions of law, but alto
gether from illogical Interpretation
by the administrative agency which
happens TO be the commissioner of
the general land office. This law
was fathered by Senator Reed
smoot, of Utah, a perfect type of
the reactionary and is fair ex-
ample of reactionary republican
legislation.
Senator Henderson told of the
part he played in the passage of the
reclamation appropriations bill and
of his work in getting an ample ap-
preparation set aside for drainage
work in this project. He also spoke
at length on the Spanish Springs
reservoir project as a possible ad-
junct to the Newlands project and
he declared that he anticipated the
time In this valley when our land
owners would be independent of the
Lake Tahoe water supply.
THE League of Nations was de-
clared by Senator Henderson as the
supreme issue of the present cam
paign. Its practical rejection or
adoption will be at the polls next
Tuesday and failing there the pro-
ponents of the covenant may logical
ly expect republican fulfillment of
declared policy which will mean the
isolation of America as a unit in
world concert of nations. The cove
nant should never have been seized
upon, he said. to serve political ex-
pediency. It's aims are too sacred
to be confounded with partisanship
and we may well view with alarm
the political phases that have been
attached to the league proposal by
INSCRIPTIONS politicians. 1t is
neither a democratic or republican
enterprise. Senator Henderson de-
clared his favor for reservations.
that would make clear this coun-
try's undisputed national rights,
which may properly be done with
out lesneping the Importance of the
functions that the United States will
perform as a member of a world
concert. Roosevelt was declared TO
have first used the term. league of
nations" away back in 1910, the
idea coming to his mind as a logical
substitute for war and when in that
year he acted as the intermediary
that secured peace between Russia
and Japan Roosevelt was awarded
the Noebel peace prize.
1.-The importance of an early ac-
ceptance of the league of nations
covenant was further emphasized by
Mr.. Henderson by the statement
that Germany's affairs are now ad-
ministered by the most powerful
commission extant, the reparations
committee which designates how,
when and where the German nation
shall carry on its commerce. That
America gets none of this trade
comes as matter of course be-
cause we are not represented on
this commission and cannot be thus
represented until we have come to
be a member of the great league
which already comprises As of the
countries of the world"
At the conclusion of his talk Sen
ator Henderson was warmly greeted
by many Fallon people, old friends
and new, and he was made to know
that he has found favor in Church
III county that assures him a sub
stantial plurality of all votes cast
on next Tuesday.

Oddie' S Record on
Japanese Question

The Standard is always ready to
furnish honest records of public Of
fcials and to enlighten the ignorant,
even when the aforesaid ignorant
includes great daily like the San
Francisco Chronicle.
The Chronicle was very bitter
against those who proposed that the
farmers on the Newlands Project be
allowed some water from Lake Ia
hoe. 1t did what 1t could to prevent
any water coming this way Now It
assumes to tell the voters of this
section whom they shall vote for In
the coming election. The Chronicle
has made a speciality of boosting
Governor Oddie, and we cannot
help wondering If 1t is because of
his record on the Japanese question
during the time he was a State SEN
ator.
Here is another record not being
published by the Reno dailies:
