REGISTER RIGHT
Repatriation Figures of Humboldt

After consuming over half a
column in a flimsy prediction that
the Democrats will be defeated, the
Republican Winnemucca Silver
state reports that the vote registra-
ton in Humboldt county is as fol-
iows Democrats, 823; Republicans,
III; Independents, 104; Socialists,
6.--Carson City Appeal.
That which The Silver State said,
buddy, does not harmonize with
your distortion. The Silver State
said, 1.-THE registration in Winnie
mucca shows: Democrats, 1928; Re-
publcans, TT; Independents, 104;
Socialists, g.; but it is generally ac-
cepted as a fact that the strength
of the Democratic party, of Hum
boldt county, is within the confines
of Winnemucca." And what The
Silver States said goes as it stands.
The Silver State is without criti-
eism for the editor of the Appeal.
The editor of the Appeal is a
Democrat and long acquaintance
with the characteristics of peanut
politicians of the Democratic per-
suasion has persuaded The Silver
State to believe that it is painfully
difficult for the gentry to restrict
themselves to the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
The Appeal editor. it is apparent,
has become contaminated through
association and is suffering from
the disease that is epidemic among
those whose reputat on for truth
and veracity is negligible, to say
the best for them.
While The Silver State desires to
dis.llusionize the Appeal man, it
has solicitous regard for his hap
p ness and it may solace him some
what to learn that the Humboldt
county registration shows that there
are in the county, 1,f48 Demo-
Gratis; 374 Republicans; 247 Inde-
pendents and Ia Socialists. That is
the status of the political complex
ion of the county, according to
figures; but those figures, bud, are
misleading and The Silver State
earnestly exhorts you not to wager
your hard-earned money on the as
sumption that from them you can
tell, beyond the shadow of doubt,
whether your Democratic friends, or
your Republican foes, are going to
receive the major number of votes
in Humboldt county. Don't let
your enthusiasm run riot to such an
extent that you become forgetful
of that trite saying: Liars will fig
ure." And you can take it from
The Silver State, that is without
ak to grind, that those registration
certificates in many instances, could
not maintain any claims to integrity
in any tribunal of the land if they
were brought face to face with i'm
peachment proceedings.
There is a reason for this, al
though The Silver State is free to
admit that to it the reason is not
good one. AS a matter of fact
The Silver State deprecates and de-
plores, but that does not alter the
situation. 1t thinks, and thinks it
knows, that it is imperatively neces-
sary, for the good of all-for the
perpetuity of our republican-or
democratic, if that word sounds
more pleasing to your ears-form
of government-that two strong
organizations ever be maintained to
contest supremacy of power, else we
would eventually cease to be citi-
zens of a republic and would find
ourselves subjects of a monarchial
government. And it is because The
Silver State is imbued with con-
victions of this sort that it deplores
the fact that an immense number
of the Republicans of Humboldt
county, prior to the last primary
registered as Democrats. There
were sinister influences brought to
bear that persuaded some otherwise
mighty good citizens to respond to
the suggestion that they participate
in the Democratic primary and The
Silver State is really regretful that
such conditions exist. 1t only hopes
that those Republicans who lent
themselves as aides to the malign
influences who care naught for gov
ernment, only as it may affect
their bank accounts, will see the
folly of their ways, recant and get
back into circles where they will
feel thoroughly at home.
This is a matter that we have had
on our chest, to our discomfort, for
some little time, and to the editor
of the Appeal we extend cordial
thanks for presenting US an avenue
leading to an opportunity to un.
load and if he feels that we have
utilized him as goat, we trust
that he will condone, under the
circumstances; but, surely. he will
not find fault with US, as he butted
in of his own volition, unaided and
unsolicited.
