HOW VOTES WERE CAST At
ELECTION TWO YEARS AGO

The Silver State has been asked to
state how Nevada and Humboldt
county citizens cast their ballots at
the elections in 1918. At that time
Pershing county was part OF this
county and consequently the figures
mean little as a forecast for the com
ing election. In the primary election
of 1918, the file shows, 1885 votes
were cast in Humboldt county for
governor. Seven small precincts
were rot included in that count In
the general election. with six pre-
cincts missing with a total of about
rs votes, the highest vote was for
United States senator. 1894 votes be
ing cast and giving Henderson a plu-
rality of PSF. State returns showeH
22,705 votes cast for senator. Thf
state vote for prohibition was 1859
against 1856. In Winnemucca thf
vote for senator was 618. there beins
339 votes cast In West Winnemucca
precinct and 279 in Winnemucca pre-
cinct.

LAND VALUATIONS
BEFORE TAX BOARD

No general session of the state
board of equalization was held Thurs
day, states the Carson News, but the
MEMBERS of the various committees
spent their time going over the tax
rolls and studying data that will be
considered when attempts are made
to effect necessary adjustments.
Officers of the Nevada Livestock
Association and several prominent
stockmen of the state were present
and held conferences with the men,
bers of the livestock committee.
The land interests of the state were
likewise well represented at the capt.
tol during the day and they discussed
matters of vital Importance with the
members of the committee on lands
1t is expected that real develop
ments will begin to crop out in a day
or two after all preliminaries are got
ten out of the way.
1t is predicted in some quarters
that the big bone of contention al
this years meeting will be over land
valuations. 1t is apparent that in
some cases assessors have put their
lands on the one hundred per cent
valuation basis, as was expected. but
that others have failed to bring their
totals up to the expected figures.
Examination of the comparative
statements of segregation rolls shows
great many changes in the classi-
fication of lands-changes from high
to lower classes. No doubt assessors
with the high valuations will insisi
either that the other counties be
granted reductions to put them on an
equality with those of lower valua-
tions. 1t is possible that other in
terests will be drawn into the mat
ter before it is settled.

HAYS REPLIES TO
. cox MEASUREMENTS

viii III. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, reply
ing to the speech of Governor Cox in
Pittsburgh Thursday night. in which
the Democratic presidential nominee
sought to prove that Republicans were
conspiring to buy the presidency. de-
clared that Mr.. Cox had such sinti-
mate knowledge of the wasting of
millions in aircraft production in his
state" during the war. that he
dreamed in millions"
After studying Cox's speech. Hays
issued the following statement at Re-
publican headquarters:
"Of course, Candidate Cox fails to
prove. as he has failed to prove and
will fail to prove, his charges. This
is simply because the charges are
false.
HE says millions have been putin
to the Republican national committee
by sinister influence to corrupt the
electorate. He first is reported to have
said hundred million. Then Secre-
tary Roosevelt said thirty million.
Then Candidate Cox said fifteen mil
lion. while now Candidate Cox says
eight million.
He attempts to prove this by quot
ing from the official bulletin of the
ways and means cammittee of the Re-
publican national committee, a PAM
phlet published every few days and
sent broadcast over the country to
party members and to newspapers,
all to instill interest among the work
ers, and from an alleged quota sheet
which he claims indicates the amounts
to be raised in certain cities, which
he does not even charge was adopted
or any operation had Hereunder.
Candidate Cox, himself million
aire, has had such intimate knowl-
edge of the wasting of millions in air
craft production in his state and Sec
retary Roosevelt has had such an in
innate knowledge of the burning of
billions by the administration of
which he has been an important part
that these men dream in millions.
"They will have an opportunity in
Chicago to prove this insult to the
thousands of good citizens all over
the country which are counted in the
Republican party
Incidentally they will have a
chance next week to indicate the
source of their own money, both of
their national committee and other
agencies outside of their national
committee raising money to try to aid
in Candidate Cox's election"

RENO MUST REALIZE
SHE'S NOT NEVADA
Especial Correspondence,

RENO. Nevada.-Reno has been ex-
ceedingly dull (for Reno) the past
week. It's wonder some people do
not come to a better realization of
how utterly dependent this town is
upon the remainder of the state. But
no; some of the old-timers--many of
them. perhaps-cling fondly to the
idea that Reno is "the works" and the
state is dependent on her. 1t is
queer thing to contemplate. Yet to
some degree 1t is true everywhere
that non-producers gradually absorb
the idea that in some way they are in
a managerial position over those
from whom wealth comes.
There are different reasons for the
of them is the necessity for harvest
work Another is the fact that there
has been an interim between two race
meetings. Nevada people certainly
do like the races. 1t seems apparent
that some of them are putting off
here a short time while the ponies
are performing. Undoubtedly the
next two weeks will find hotel lobbies
crowded and restaurants and picture
shows doing a capacity business.
Anyway the fact is made apparent
to an impartial observer that when
the people of Humboldt and Clark, of
Elko and Mineral. of White Pine and
EsmeraIda, and all the other suburbs,
remain at home attending to their
business of producing things, Reno is
ION the hummer" as the boys say.
O'Dell. our old friend of the circula-
ton game. was in here Wednesday,
On his way from Elko to Juneau,
Alaska. He has an engagement at the
latter place. Said he didn't much
care about making the trip at this
time of year. but-oh, well. what's the
difference? He had just concluded
his third circulation campaign at
Elko. AS usual, O'Dell had a new and
graphic one to spring. Said he un-
derstood the Reno Separator was to
start up again Saturday. Get it?
Mails and horses coming into
Reno from the West are being de-
layed to a considerable extent by
snow. Much OF the beautiful is nov
on exhibition in the high Sierras. In
dications are for a continuance OF
| the present stormy weather. and mud
arks are being clocked at the race
track. 1t has even been intimated that
| horses taking part on the opening
days program will be liable to need
snowshoes.
That was a powerful piece of Re-
publican campaign literature which
| was sent out by the Associated Press,
August 25. To be sure. it spoke so
nicely about editors that some Nevada
scribes may be in danger of becoming
"swelled," but-goodness knows!--
they ought to be entitled to some such
privilege once in awhile. Your cor
respondent never saw one of them
with more than one bouquet on his
desk at one time. Nineteen editors

will go Republican this fall, to two
