Held Crowd Enthralled ut High
School Pavilion Throughout the
Course Of Two-Hour Speech

United States Senator Charles b.
Henderson spoke to a record crowd
at the county high school auditori-
um this evening and charmed more
than 500 voters with his clear expo
sition of the issues that separate the
two major parties. He gave demo-
cratic policy In way strangely
contradictory to the claims urged by
republican campaign workers and
allayed apprehension on every
score, giving understandable expla-
nation In a way that surely made
him many friends and added strong
ly to his already numerous parti-
sans In this community.
Mr. Henderson was introduced by
l. II. Kent who briefly reviewed his
many splendid personal eharacteris-
tics and his official work at Wash
ington and made a special plea for
Henderson support, talking to the
audience as one neighbor to others.
Many members of the county CEN
tral committee, all county demo-
cratic candidates and the members
of the Fallon band were on the
rostrum and music preceded the
junior United States senator's
speech
Mr. Henderson launched off i'm
mediately into a discussion of the
tariff insofar as IL affects the indi-
yiduals of the United States, apollo
gizing for the necessity of discus
sion of a topic that logically be-

politics. but should be handled by
an Independent and non-partisan
reviewing board that would fix tar
in schedules In accordance with log
ieal and predetermined need. en-

He said he stood fairly and
squarely for tariff that will protest.

must be protected against the cheap

that the reprehensible system

and at the same time export and
sell the commodity to a foreign pur-

ed Mr.. Henderson said:
II have found In my travel over
Nevada paradoxical condition;
people are prosperous yet they are
not contented. The consumers feel
the sting of high prices. while the
producers deplore the recession OF
the price levels. Somewhere be-
tween these two classes still remains
an unwarranted profit, admitted an
indictment against our present
methods OF distribution. Wool and
leather are now down almost to pre-
war prices In one instance and In the
other sales cannot be effected, yet
you have not been given corre-

and shoes.
Every four years business in the
United States is disturbed because
OF election time. This state OF
mind Is without warrant and repre-
sents survival of the time when
radical promises characterized par
tisanship In the United States. One
party promised one thing; the other
threatened something entirely DIN

Regarding the republican accu-

markable achievements OF the ia.e

served Nevada for 20 years In poth

senator, l6 years of which he WORK

hood to say that Senator Newlands
was not one of the most effective
workers that ever represented any
state In the national legislature
That he intends to place the IN

state of Nevada within the opera
