REINSTATEMENT CLAUSE STILL
GOOD WITHIN IS MONTHS

To relieve any confusion that may
exist in the minds of former service
men on account of the special pro-
vision of lapsed war term insurance,
which authorized reinstatement up to
December 81, 1919, regardless Of date
of discharge, announcement is made
by the bureau Of war risk insurance
that the provisions for reinstatement
of lapsed or cancelled insurance, with
in eighteen months from date of dis
charge, upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to be reinstated, provided
the insured is in as good health as at
the date of discharge or expiration of
the grace period, whichever is the
later date, and so states in his appli-
cation, still holds good.

WHY HE'LL VOTE THE
TICKET

A story is going the rounds in Win.
nemucca of a conversation between
two old-timers who had voted the
Democratic ticket for years and were
staunch believers in the Democratic
party. They were discussing many
political problems.
One was an Irishman. He said to
his friend:
II voted the Democratic all me
life. but I'll never do it again"
The other one asked why and he
got this reply:
We'll, I'll tell you. As mean as
all as the d-m Republicans were
they knew enough to keep something
home to ate"
So, there you are. It's only one
reason among many that have been
heard, all the way from the league of
nations to Wilson autocracy and gen.
eral poor management. A prominent
lawyer who worked hard for Hender-
son at the last election, a banker
who has been looked up to as a Demo
cratic party mainstay here, a rail-
roader who one would naturally think
would favor the Observation-Disclosures
are all going to vote for sanity in
government. They've all got different
reasons and all more than one reason
for the switch.
Yes, it's going to be a Republican
landslide right here in Nevada.
Nothing a be done to stop it.

sertion from the Democratic party is
not confined to the rank and file, but
some of the state leaders are taking
the bit in their teeth and have gone
over to the Republican party. Satur-
day Elko was visited by a mar known
from n end of the state to the
other, one who has been honored by
the Democratic party with n of the
highest state Offices, who has been up
before the people for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator,
and he told some of his friends
that he was through with the Wilson
administration" and intended to vote
a straight Republican ticket.
At the recent Republican gathering
at Reno to meet Secretary Hays of
the National Republican Committee,
there were men present at the meet
ing of the Republican delegates who
had been identified with the Demo
cratic party all their lives, but who
announced that they wanted to be
recognized as Republicans and would
work and vote for the straight Re-
publican ticket"
This is going to be a Republican
year. Nevada is going to line up in
the Republican column for a Republi-
can president. And we will not be
the lone certain" Democratic state
to climb on the COP. band wagon
as some of the southern states, al
ways Democratic, will register their
disapproval of the Wilson administra-
ton by boiling the solid south" and
going Republican.

N IT'S THE SAME
WHEREVER YOU GO

Editor Steninger' of the Elko Free
Press has discovered that public SEN
timent is turning rapidly at Elko, the
home of Senator Henderson. STEM
niger had the following to say in his
last edition:
crat, always a Democrat" is not
holding good this year. Everywhere
expressions can be heard from life
long Democrats that they are dis
gusted with the administration and in
tend to vote the straight Republican
ticket this coming fall.
The sentiment of any community
can be taken as that of the country
as a whole, as in this day and age,
with the voters educated as to the
national happenings, the same feel
ing exists everywhere. The prevail
ing sentiment of this community is
adverse to the Democratic administra-
ton, and where a man who has lived
in a community and allied himself
with the Democratic party, voting
and working for that ticket year after
year. m out publicly, announcing
that IL am through with the Dem
ocratic party and have voted for the
last Democrat I will ever vote for"
there is but one conclusion to draw,
and that is the election of a Republi-
can president, and the whole Republi-
can ticket at the next election.
Here is an instance that came to the
notice Of Editor Steninger: Re-
Gently he dropped into the headquar-
ters of the Democrats. At one of the
tables sat Bob Skaggs, Democratic
politician and at one time Democratic
speaker of the assembly. He an
nounced in no uncertain terms that he
was through with the party and from
now ON was going to vote the Re-
publican ticket straight. Across from
his sat Pap" Truett, a pioneer
rancher of Elko county, and a life
long Democrat. II have voted the
Democratic ticket all my life," he
said, but as long as I live I will
never vote for another Democrat"
and at that a oar went up from those
in the room, and shouts Of approval
through which could be heard
"them's my sentiments" And this
happening in the Democratic head
quarters is of peculiar significance.
Whether this sentiment will ex
tend to local politics is hard to say
Elko county has a majority of Demo
cratic officials. splendid men, but II
such Democrats as above announce
that they will refuse to vote for
man simply because he is a Demo
crat, the local Democratic office hold
ers may go down to defeat in spite
of their personal popularity. There
is no doubt but there are Republicans
who are willing to run for office. pro
viding they think there is a chance o.
a Republican landslide, and the gen
eral sentiment is that this will be the
case. All Of the county Offices are t.
be filed this fall with the exception
of the district judge and one member
of the board of county commissioners
But to get back to the overwhelm'
iag Republican sentiment. the de
