to be found on the ballot. There is
no provision for the mailing Of
sample ballots in advance of the
elections to the electorate. The
voter may obtain a sample ballot at
the polls on election day, but not
before. The system is wrong.
Little enough opportunity is af-
forded the average voter to make
an intelligent survey of the propo-
sitions he is asked to vote on in
states where he is provided with a
sample ballot several days before
the election, and if limited in this
respect to the day of election, the
chances are that when he stamps
his ballot he will not know what he
is voting for.
Although the propositions to be
found on the ballot in Nevada this
year are few and comparatively
simple, time may come when there
will be many and the ballot will
be about the size of a horse blanket,
as is the case in California. The
following commentary on this sub
ject is clipped from the Los Angeles
Times:
"There are thirty measures to be
voted on at the election in Novem-
Der. These range all the way from
the soldiers bonus bill to single
tax and from enforcing prohibition
to denying vivi-section. It is diff
ficult for young and tender voter
to realize the responsibilities under
which he staggers when he enters
the election booth. Some of the
voters will shirk these responsible
ties by shooting the whole mess
into the waste basket. At that,
they will be doing as well as might
be expected"

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
IS BADLY SPLIT
Reports of Promise of Jobs, Asses
sments to Be Levied Upon Cam
didates, and Jas. T. Boyd
Cause of Friction
(By Harry H. Jones in Rem

(By Harry H. Jones in Reno
Gazette.)
The indifference with which Jas.
T. Boyd's gubernatorial candidacy
was received originally by the DEM
ocratic programmes has faded. 1t
is admitted now that Boyd's monkey
wrench has slowed up the machinery.
For the first time in many years
the Democratic party of Nevada is
badly split. Those who are not
connected actively with the operat-
ion Of the party machine do not
hesitate to say that things do not
look so rosy as they did a few
months ago.
There was a time when it ap-
peared that the party slate makers
had everything their own way.
Threatened discords were avoided
with dispatch. Animosities were
sidetracked as they doomed on the
horizon. 1t was all harmony until
after the convention when some of
the individual Democrats began to
manifest activities without consult
ing the powers that be.
Boyd's sudden entry into the cam
paign, in a sense was arbitrary be-
cause he was told to stay out-by
the machine. When this failed
some of his personal friends were
appealed to to induce him to "lay
off," But Boyd is in and he is
going to stay in until the candidates
come down the home stretch. Eff
forts were made to laugh down his
ambition at the outset but the more
laughing that was done, the more
determined Boyd became and he is
now waging an intensive battle for
the nomination.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-08-29

But Boyd as a candidate for gov
ernor is not the only element mill
tating against party harmony in the
Democratic ranks. Recent develop
ments, some of which may be con-
sidered coincident with the Boyd
campaign, are adding power to the
wrecking crew. 1t is persistenly re-
ported that a certain Democratic
politician has been promised the
job Of warden of the state prison in
the event of James G. Scrugham's
election. Whether this is true OF
not the writer cannot say. No one
will admit it. 1t is given credence
because of its persistency. With all
the smoke there must be blaze.
r. B. Henrichs, the incumbent
has heard all this. He has not ex-
pressed himself but it is not diff
cult to imagine how he must feel
about it, knowing what Henrichs
has done for the party and the
present administration. Henrichs
himself, has many friends who re-
sent this and these men must be
expected to express their disap-
prevail with their ballots q week
from Tuesday today.
While the move has been inter.
preted as having been made in an
effort to promote harmony by fore
stalling certain threatened defec-
tions from the party ranks, the re-
action by comparison has been in
imical to the interests of the Dem
ocrats. Mr.. Henrichs was once q
Republican.
Now we come to another phase OF
the Democratic "inharmony" which
appears to be growing day by day,
1t Ia prettv soft for the orva niza.

What has become of the Social

Socialists has decreased in Washoe
county to twenty-seven, six OF
whom are in Reno and five in one

The Socialist party is out of the
running this year because it die

that there are many regular Social

parties in order to participate in
the primaries.

The Democratic state central COM

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,

nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
