DEMOCRATS ABUSE
THEIR OWN MEN
The States Office Holding, Office
Seeking Highbinders Are En-
gagged in a Fight Amongst
Themselves for Spoils

The Democrats are, apparently,
not content with lambasting the
tomfods out of the Republican
candidates, but they are disposed
to abuse all who have the temerity
| to challenge their right to a
strangle-hold on the Offices that are
at the disposal of the taxpayers of
the state and it is high time that
the voters exercise their inviolable
right to say whether or not they
have been manhandled enough to
satisfy them for the time being.
The man and woman who is OBJ
sessed with the thought that he or
she still has sufficient intelligence
to determine whether taxes have,
or have not, practically doubled
without giving returns justifying
the expenditures, will do well to
pause and reflect, before giving
credit to the defense the Demo-
cratic office-seekers have submitted.
1t ought to be patent that if the
Democratic office-seekers charge
one another with uttering things
/ that are not true about each other,
they will not hesitate to make state
ments about their Republican op-
ponents that may well be character
lied as "a campaign of vituperation
and SANDER"
/ Keep it in mind, Independent
voters and decent Democrats, that
if the chief justice of the supreme
court-a Democrat-tells the truth
about some of his Democratic Of
fice-seeking brothers, in the follow
ing, it will be we'll for you to con-
clude that they have unhesitatingly
resorted to even worse tactics in
attacking their Republican op-
ponents. The truth will out and
here it is, written SO plain that che
who runs may read:"
CARSON CITY, Oct. 31.-Carson
City was worked up to a high
pitch of indignation today by dis
closures that some enemy of his
| (as The Silver State is not inclined
to take any part in a Democratic
family row, it refrains from the use
of any names of the parties that
are denounced or supported by the
Carson City brothers, only giving
the names of the signers of the
resolutions so that there can be no
suspicion, on the part Of any per-
son, that The Silver State has
manufactured the sordid story out
OF whole clothl had been circulat-
ing abusive and slanderous stories
concerning him. At a meeting OF
citizens tonight the feeling was
expressed in the form of the follow
ing resolution, signed by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike:
Whereas, A campaign of vitu-
peration and slander has been in
augurated and is being vigorously
prosecuted against Honorable Blank
and,
Whereas, Articles are being pub
lished and mailed to voters which
have been prepared by men who
have personal grievances and seek
to revenge; and therefore
be it
Resolved by the citizens here as
sembled, That we denounce this
campaign of abuse and slander and
those responsible for it: that we
urge the voters of all Nevada to
give their earnest support at this
time and to vote on election day for
Honorable Blank; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be sent to the newspapers
of Nevada for publication"

retary; r. X. Colcord, Chairman.

1t was disclosed at the meeting
that the abusive matter is being
sent to distant points in Nevada
and was accidentally discovered
Those who saw it say that it makes
utterly false charges respecting the
personal character and conduct ot
Honorable Blank.
