LAST WORD BEFORE
THE CITY ELECTION

what's more none can be provided.
This writer shows his or her stand
in the matter and where his or her
sympathles lie. The only persons who
have been bothered are pimps and
bootleggers, and II this is unsatisfac-
tory to Citizen, all well and good. AS
he or she is apparently not in favor
of the city council as it now is COM
posed and favors the other ticket"
voters will do we'll to take this as an
instance from whence support for the
other candidates Is coming.
Another statement that Atkins allie
CATION that big shippers endeavored
to gain his discharge by the Western
Pacific is branded by Citizen as "un-
true in whole and in part" Sounds
like a lawyer. That Is the frat we
have heard that Atkins charge is a lie,
and once again we would point that
is branded by Citizen as a lie with
out foundation Of facts. The big
shipper mentioned by Akin whom he
met in the offices of the Winnemucca
State Bank G. Trust Company has
never denied such a letter was in
course of preparation. Are all the
railroad boys who signed the state
ment in the last issue of The Silver
State to be branded as liars by Citi-
zen? II so we advise he never make
his identity known.
"The statements heretofore made
| that all the people who do not side
with the certain other people, are
| thugs and bootleggers, and that thu
town is not a safe place for life oil
property is not true, either" is an
other gem from Citizens pen. W.
.efy him to show where such state
! rents have ever been made. v
would say that is some more rough
stuff without foundation o. fact-no
a single fact for the voters yet.
| The main plea of the other sid'
seems to be based on hurting thu
town" Loss of the Southern Pacific
terminal was caused by jr9t sucl
| tactics as have been fought recently
| Booze and the saloon element herr
constituted big reason for the re
moval of the Southern Pacific. ant
that fact is proven by another ont
| that no booze was allowed in thu
town of Inlay, to which the SIP
moved its roundhouse from Winnie
mucca.
This hurting the town" is merel!
| another method of covering up tn,
real issue. Sad to relate, few hav,

clans were not slow to sieze upoi
present business depression as ;
method of casting reflections upor
those who do not stand for the SAM
things the politicians do. This bust

buck the pimp and bootlegger here
our sheepmen are getting just a
much for their wool as are sheepmeI
elsewhere. 1t is from the working
man and producer that the pimp
gambler and bootlegger gets his
and 1t is from the same source tn
merchant and business man gets hi
money. If the working man and pro
Queer are not getting money no on

and bootlegger are good for is t
permit crooked politicians to contro

against those who dare to oppos

and business men, 1t would seem t
us, is that IL the pimp and bootlegge
doesn't get the working mans money
the merchants might get a crack a

point. too, that IL something wort
