REBER SOu|DlY FOR
PARTY PRINCIPLES

Whatever else may be said of Dep
uty Collector of Internal Revenue
Frank Reber. 1t will have to be ad-
mitted that he Is a Democrat of the
first water and believes the prece-
dents OF that party should be observed
whether in power or not. Observe q
statement by Frank published In the
Elko Free Press:
Deputy Collector of Internal Rev
enue Frank Reber. whose district IL
in the western part Of the state, spent
Sunday in town. He says that he ex-
poets to resign about the first of July,
for the reason, as he puts II. to the
victor belongs the spoils.' Frank n
one OF the veteran newspaper men Of
the state and had been one Of tho
Democratic leaders, and now that the
Republicans are in he believes that It
Is the duty of every Democratic ONCE
holder to get out and give the victors
a chance. He will give his entire
attention to his mining interests and
will come to Tuscarora to look after
the Rose property some time next
month" .s45
Would that all Democrats felt like
wise, but that such is not so Is fndi-
Gated by the awful howl that has gone
up every time the Republicans have
done just what the Democrats did
eight years ago-put men of like po-
litical faith in positions available.
Indications are the howl will grow a.
Republicans carry out the precedent
established.
