VOTE o
ODDIE N AREN'T

With the election six days away,
most voters have certainly made up
their minds how to cast their ballot
and il the election were to be held
tomorrow there Is no doubt of what
that result would be In Nevada-the
state would give majorities for Hard
ing and Coolidge and for Oddie and
Arentz.
But the strength of the Republican
position is recognized by Democrats
as well as by Republicans and the
Democrats are moving all possible
agencies to overcome the lead that the
Republicans have gained. They are
making last-minute arguments to men
and women known to be for Harding
and for Oddie and they are not going
to relax an instant In their efforts un-
til election day. Let Republicans talk
back.
Here is the case In a nutshell. The
election of Warren @. Harding is con-
coded by leading Democrats in Wash
ington and New York as well as in
Chicago and San Francisco. If O
do not give a Republican President
the support Of a Republican congress,
you tie his hands. 1t is essential that
both houses Of congress should be
Republican to bring about the needed
policies Of real peace for which the
country has been waiting for many
months and which 1t has been pre-
vented from enjoying by the stub
bornness Of the Democratic admins
tration. The election of Tasker l..
Oddie to the senate and OF Samuel s.
Arentz to the house. therefore, is es-
sential in order that Nevada may take
a part in the constructive era that the
election of Warren G. Harding to the
presidency will inaugurate.
So far as Nevada is concerned, too,
1t is demanded by the needs Of the
state in the labors Of congress that
Republicans should be sent to the
senate and to the house. How, other
wise. is this state to get an infiuen-
tial hearing In the councils Of the ma
ton and at the White House? Demo-
Gratis can do nothing for Nsvadais In

Imports Higher

Some people may have been told
that Republicans propose to erect a
Chinese wall so as to exclude imports
and that we must expect to buy from
abroad, If we intend to sell abroad.
AS well might they tell the farmer
that If he expects to export produce
from his farm to town he must i'm
port from town to farm as many dol
lars worth of supplies as he sells in
products. What is the matter with
bringing home. from time to time
