HENDERSON AND
BOYD TALKED HERE
Continued from Page One)

INFER II WAS OUule VINO was the OF
| Tending party. Anne Martins accu-
sation against Henderson in this re-
spect is "old stuff" now and need not
be gone into.
Henderson laughed away" n OF
the questions of The Silver State
about his votes on the league of ma
tons and claimed Misrepresentation.
Well gamble we can guess from
have pointed out several times is not
rgument. His hearers, however, did
lot miss the fact that he didn't an
5wer the questions. HE DID NOT
nd NEVER HAS to our knowledge
PLACED HIMSELF ON RECORD AS
TO HOW HE STANDS ON THE
LEAGUE.
He did not refer to our question as
o how he figures, under the league.
how IRELAND or any other subject
na"tionalities could ever expect TO gain
heir liberty as we did if we obligate
ourselves by adopting the league of
nations to protect existing territorial
integrity of all members of the
league"
Seeing he saw fit to mention any of
our questions, we feel free to take up
this me-, which he left to Boyd to
answer and Boyd conveniently forgot.
Under the league of nations the
United States could lever have Sc
cured freedom from England. partic-
ularly when that league is essentially
IN English document. Because
France would have been forced to OBJ
serve the territorial integrity of Eng
land, we being English territory.
Some day not far away Ireland will
be in the same fix. Some nation will
want to help Ireland C u freedom
from British absent landlords. I'm
der the league this would be Eek
ternal aggression" against the ter
ritorial integrity" of England. This
should show Ireland's helplessness
under the league. The whole thing is
that England has got all she wants,
or rather all she a hope to get, and
wants the league and the United
States to guarantee she can keep it.
1t should be easily seen that thus
America could be voted by the league
to assist England to defeat Ireland's
hope for freedom. and though there
is no legal obligation to so force us,
President Wilson himself declared the
moral obligation is more binding
than would be a legal obligation. Do
you wonder Henderson lodged the
question?
Chas. D. Boyd. lawyer of Reno.
started out by attacking eddie be-
cause eddie voted for a governors
mansion and voted against a miners
home in the state senate in 1907. He
said (get this, Editors Van Devort
and Gifford) that Carson City stages
a building boom with state money
every two years and the rest of the
time CARSON CITY is SOUND
ASLEEP.
All right, Mr.. Boyd. If we're go
ing to build all sorts of needless
buildings in Carson with taxpayers
money. merely to insure that the cap
itol remains at Carson, why not also
build a home for newspaper men. a
home for lawyers, railroad men. store
keepers and all the rest of the trades
and professions? When a newspaper
gets old and broke he goes to
our county hospitals. Why spend the
money for a miners home when they
can do the same? Are miners a
chosen class?
If Boyd is the cream of Nevada's
Democratic orators, we'd hate to hear
the poorest. When he got into the
league of nations questions he pulled
the prize boner of the evening when
he said the league guarantees the
people of the world the same rights
Americans have" Ponder that state
ment. That's exactly 1.-THE Ameri-
can people, our working men and all
others. refuse to be pulled down to
the level of 1.-The people of the world"
the people of Europe, Japan and
China. They will not make this "su-
preme sacrifice" when they don't
have to. even if it will break the
heart of the world" Americans can
not live on a Chinese basis.
Boyd made the amazing statement
that Teddy Roosevelt laid out the
league in 1915. He said the six Eng
fish colonies sent the most men TO
war and If they can fight they should
