by the State Of Nevada.
Key Pittman, present senior Unit
ed States Senator from Nevada, who
seeks reelection to that Office on the
Democratic ticket, spoke at length
told of the extreme difficulty exper-
fenced in securing needed legislation
favoring western States. He de-
clared that 1t was not a matter oi
party lines but rather fight between
Senators of the New England States
and those representing western
States. He had found that begging
for support from the New England
States resulted for naught, but that
the only way was to fight and to even
trade votes.
He went into the tariff question
quite thoroughly. and to the salts
faction of the Democrats at least
told how the farmers were overlooked
and ignored In those essential things
that would mean better prices, es-
pecially in hides.
He explained the great advantage
of the Pittman Silver bill and what
il meant to Nevada and other silver
States.
The soldiers adjusted compensa-
tion measure received lengthy ex-
PLANTATION and the Senator branded
the action as promises and deception.
A letter was read on the floor OF the
Senate from Secretary Mellon that
practically defeated the measure. He
declared that $500,000.000 was
available for the railroads, but $780,
100000 for the soldiers would bank
rupt the country. The soldiers ad-
justed compensation measure passed
the House by a large majority and
only lacked three votes in the Senate
to pass the meature over the Presi-
deit's veto, said the Senator.
Mr.. Pittman's remarks were solely
regarding his own candidacy; he is
an eloquent and pleasing speaker,
and his address was well received.
