to the satisfaction Of the people of
the state. He thanked the people of
White Pine county In particular for
their expression of confidence as
given by the handsome majority
which they gave him at the last cleo
tion and said he had tried and he
hoped had succeeded in meriting
that confidence. In connection with
his duties as state treasurer. by vir-
tue of which Office he is also mem-
Der of the boards which have control

Nevada haspital for mental diseases.
he referred to the care of little chill
dren who have been left to the ten
der mercies of a cold world, without
father or mother to guide them, and
his good-natured countenance beam
cd with delight when he said they
ton as they would be in any private
home. Speaking of the hospital for
mental diseases, he told what a
pleasure it was to carry on the work
with such a lovable man as DR. r. II.
Richardson, formerly of Ely, who
now administers to the inmates of
the hospital in that kindly and ef-
ficient manner for which DR.. Rich
ardson is so well known and for

c. l.. Deady, surveyor general. was
next introduced and the applause
which greeted him was evidence of
the fact that he had many friends in
the audience. lie told of his differ
ent movements since coming to Ne
yada forty-one years ago and refer
red TO the time when he taught
school at what was then the Lewis
ranch at Sunnyside in 1885. lie said
that many of his pupils of those days
of happy memory he recognized in
the audience. and one OF them, Jim
Riordan. now president of the Ely
National bank. broadly smiled. Mr..
Deady entertained the audience by
injecting little anecdotes, which were
highly amusing He drew attention
TO the large volume of business which
passes through his Office and said he
would highly appreciate the suffrage
of the voters in White Pine county at
the coming election.
NJ A. Diskin. former Assistant
United States District Attorney for
Nevada and now the democratic nom-
inee for attorney general, then de-
liyered a brilliant address. Mr.. Dis
kin is not only a forceful speaker but
has a personality which carries great
weight with his audience. He is a
lawyer of exceptional ability and held
his audience practically spellbound
while he outlined the principal issues
in the campaign and in a logical man
ner literally tore TO shreds the argu-
ments advanced by the opposition on
important questions presented to the
voters. He agreed with his opponent
that the election of an attorney gen.
eral in sympathy with the policies of
the governor was essential and as he
punctured the arguments advanced
by the republican candidate for the
Office OF chief executive he referred
to Colonel Scrugham as the man who
could be depended upon to give Ne
vada an efficient and economical ad-
ministration and carry out the poll
cies which he would inaugurate. Mr..
Diskin said he hoped he would be
elected to the ONCE of attorney gen.
eral that he might give to Colonel
Scrugham all the aid within HE
power.
November T." said Mr.. Diskin.
the citizens OF this state will be
called upon to select agents to repre-
sent them IN handling their business
for the next four years. To give an
economical administration 1t Is neces-
sary that you select men who are
qualified to fill the positions for
which they aspire. l am the demo-
cratic nominee for attorney general
and stand upon my record "a a
practicing attorney In this state for
fifteen years-district attorney Of
Esmeralda county for four years and
assistant United States attorney for
four years.
The office of attorney general Is
one OF the most important within the
gift of the people. He is the legal
adviser of every state officer "a well
as every county officer. He Is called
upon to construe almost eery act
passed by the legislature. He repre-
sents the state in all criminal cases
presened to the supreme court; Is a
member OF the board of pardons and
has appointive power on the most
important state commissions.
I'VE have heard a great deal about
economy. II must be remembered
that economy is Legislative ques-
tion-not an administrative one. One
would think from the remarks of our
opponents that the state treasurer
could write his check on state funds
for any amount and to satisfy any
whim. That Is not true. Every cent
expended during the last two years
was authorized and approved by the
state legislature. They tell you we
have been extrayagant and that II
thoy are elected they will practice
