step-brother. Ivan. was the next
in line to the throne and crown OF
Russia. but. unlike Peter he was weak
and timid. 1t was not to be wondered
that the Czarina loved her son above
all else and wished for him the crown
which had descended to her step-son.
Many of the guards knew of the hopes
that famed in the Czarinas breast and
feared for the safety Of the weak Ivan.
But the Czarina was good woman.
and the fear Of the guards was wrong
ly placed. One afternoon as she and
the two boys were together in the
palace, they heard great noise and
confusion in the court below. and then
the cry: Where is the Car Ivan?
Where Is the true Gar? Is he dead?
Is he living? Let US see the Gar"

Ivan" sobbed his step-mother. what
shall we do. The guards are fierce. and
they would spare none of us If they
find us here"
Let Ivan and me go out on the
staircase" said Peter. When they see
him they will be satisfied and go
away"
"Oh, no." said Ivan, drawing back
in fright.
"Peter is right" said the Czarina,
nothing but the sight of you will re-
assure the guard that you still live"
Peter took Ivan's trembling hand and
pulled the older boy out on the land
ing of the great stairs. So great was
the confusion that at first the boys
were not noticed Ivan in fright hid
behind the smaller boy. who braved
the storm without a fear or tremor

crowd. "Hail the Car, Long live the

Then they remembered Peter again

uplifted. But the little boy was not

National Mining Company of Nevada,

reported that practically the entire
delegation will attend the convention.
There may be one or two exceptions.
In connection with the Nevada del
egation to the San Francisco con-
vention the report has just reached
Reno that Ray Baker, director of the
mint, expressed no little ~displeasure
when informed the he and Senator
Pittman had not been named as del
egates. Baker is reported to have
told a prominent Nevada Democrat
when the news reached him that
william WOODBURY. and George
Thatcher had assured him and Sena-
tor Pittman that the cards had been
stacked so that the two of them
could not fail to get delegates seats.
Along with the report of Bakers
disappointment over not being named
as a delegate comes the report that
he expressed great displeasure when
told that he could not be named as
national committeeman and that the
appointment would go to Sam
Pickett.

that in many instances such action
was taken to smooth out wrinkles in
the party. That was the sole reason
for the selection of twelve delegates
instead of the regulation six by the
state convention. As a matter of fact
there were about two dozen candi-
dates for delegates but the steering
committee appointed by the onven
ton to bring in the nominations sue
ceeded in reducing the number to
thirteen, leaving but one contest to be
disposed of on the floor of the con-
vention. Had an effort been made to
name only six delegates undoubtedly
some political sores would have been
healed by election time.
What will happen to the twelve
~alternates named by the state owen
ton has not been made clear. 1t is
not likely that any of them will be
able to get seats on the main floor of
the convention, although it is more
than likely that seats in the Coliseum
will be provided.

BAND
AND BALL
(Elko Independently

LIN AAoORShaChk
We note with considerable pleasure
an increased spirit Of community adj
vancement and progress along those
lines that make for a bigger, better
booster city. At a mass meeting held
Tuesday evening active steps were
taken to perfect a real baseball
club. With the arrival of J.W. Luppy
from San Francisco recently, interest
has revived in the formation of a good
city band, Mr.. Luppy being an expe-
rienced music teacher and band di-
band and ball club as permanent in
situations and We cannot say too
much in praise for both movements.
There is nothing so conducive to
concerted community interest than a
good band or a good ball club. Take
the two together and the combination
is invincible. If the ball club goes
to a neighboring town take the band
along. If the band goes to serenade
our neighbors take the ball club.
Both of them will put the city on the
map as no other activity will.
The Independent is enthusiastic
along both lines. There is nothing
in the world so absorbing as the
strains that come from a w~ell-trained
band. Elko has had several good
bands but the trouble was that they
contained on their rosters too many
"old heads with individual ideas.
What a band needs to become perma-
nent is young material under a rec
ognized authority who knows his
business. Get them to pulling to-
gether and every man or boy in the
organization will be an enthusiast.
On the other hand, continued friction
will soon operate to disband such an
organization. The same line of dis
cussion applies to the ball club. We
have excellent material for a ball
team here. In the past we have had
cleaning up" almost anything in
the amateur baseball line. 1t took
practice, headwork and team work,
but our success along those lines
spoke well of what our men could do.
1t was an excellent move to place
the Mayor of the city on the baseball
committee. In the abstract, although
we have often disagreed with the
Mayor and the City Council, we be-
lieve that Mayor Mcbride is a pro-
gressive citizen and wants to see the
done here that will mean a
bigger and better town. His pres
ence on hat committee will lend a
dignity to it's personnel as
it is now organized augurs will for
it's success. With band and ball team
in the process of organization, let us
all stand together and get one organ
ization ready at least for the Fourth
of July celebration which is sched-
uled for Lamoille this year. Winnie
mucca is also boosting a Fourth of
July celebration. The team might
take their need of revenge for the
unmerciful trouncing they received at
the last session. Let's go.-Elko In

sugar are greater than during the
canning season. That is because the

frightened into a willingness to be
robbed in order to have it. There
may be a shortage now, but from the
whisperings here and there it is evil
dent that a goodly per cent of the
people are preparing themselves
against a shortage this fall.

Miss Anne Martin is the first SEN
atorial candidate to take the field in
Nevada. Miss Martin reached Reno
last week and opened her campaign
the same morning she arrived. Her
headquarters have been established
in Reno and she has announced that
she intends to conduct a vigorous
campaign from now till election day.
Miss Martin lodges the issue when
asked as to whether or not she will
enter the primary fight. In her con-
v~ersation relative to her becoming a
primary election candidate for the
Republican nomination Miss Martin
conveys the impression that she be-
lieves the way should be cleared by
the party organization so that she
a have the nomination without a
contest. Miss Martin indicates that
in case some such arrangement is
not arrived at she will decline to
enter the primary fight and go on
the ticket again as an Independent
candidate.
OF curse the party organization is
not going to interfere with any Re
publican who may wish to enter the
primary election and contest for the
Republican nomination. That's what
primary elections are for-to give all
candidates a chance at it. Republi-
can leaders are agreed that there is

candidates this year. par

The San Francisco convention,
which is to be held on June %. is
going to attract a large number of
Democrats from all parts of the state
and many Republicans have indicat-
ed their intention of taking in the
obsequies. 1t will be the first time in
the history of political parties that a
national convention has been held so
close to Reno. Nobody has yet been
able to get a line on how the Nevada
delegation will cast it's six votes, but
prophets favor William G.. McAdoo,
although Attorney General Palmer
has several supporters. The delega-
ton will be bound by the unit rule,
so that of the twelve elected

from Nevada, reached Reno on the
same train with Miss Martin. Evans
came primarily to attend a mining

but it is not likely that he will re-

ton. Evans conveys the impression
that he is cognizant of the movement
on foot among certain Democrats to
put the skids under him in the pri-
mary election, and to carry the fight
against him into the general election
in case he gets the nomination. He
says, however, that he believes he
