PITTMAN GIVEN
REAL SCORCHNG
BY REPUBLICANS
FaIlacy of His Claims Exposed
at Big Rally Held in
LOveIOCk

LOVELOCK. New, Oct. 4.-Charles
S. Chandler and party were here
Monday night, Chandler enumerated
many beneficial acts of the repUb-
lican congress and punctured Pitt
mans claims as the father of the
silver bill, responsibility for free
cyanide, securing fish ladder, etc.
"The silver bill for which Pittman
claims sole credit was drawn by
Boyle, who originated the idea. Pitt
man introduced 1t, but it would have
been drawn, introduced and passed
just the same had Pittman not been
in the senate. Senator Odd.e lined
up eastern and western senators for
free cyanide and was given credit
for It by the eastern press. Pittman
hndered by bitter attacks on repub-
Leans in speech and made 1t more
difficult for Oddie to approach east.
ern republicans who resented the
Pittman talk. Arentz was the man
responsible for the fish ladder and
worked months to secure 1t, and
Pittman finds the money was OBJ
tanned and claims the credit. Speedy
enactment Of the emergency tariff by
republicans saved the farmers and
stockmen from ruin. The permanent
tariff placed industry back on its
feet and means plenty Of employ
ment, good wages and prosperity.
The country is now picking up from
the slough of stagnation left by the
democrats after only is months Of
republican rule in which a billion
dollars of national debt has been paid
and taxes reduced the same amount" ="
Grant Miller discussed the state
and national ticket. 'Scrugham, like
Pittman, claims everything and has
done little but spend state money.
The republican ticket from top to
bottom is made up of men of ability
and not professional office seekers"
Hunting, Russell and Smith spoke
briefly.

Miners RETURN
To Duties IN
THE Morning
Those in Favor of Giving Ten
Days to Investigate Con-
ditiOns Elsewhere Win

The miners of the TOnopah and
Divide districts will return to work
in the morning, following a mass
meeting held this afternoon in Eagles
hall, the vote in favor of giving the
mine operators ten days during which
time conditions of the various camps
of the west viii be investigated, be-
ing 243 to 273, or a majority Of 70
in fayo rof accepting the propositions
as submitted by the mine operators,
1t was a splendid victory in favor of
the conservatives.
The miners of Tonopah are on
vacation today. Following a confer
ence of the committee from the
workers with a committee Of Operat.
ors held at the office of the Tonopah
Divide Mining company, yesterday
afternoon at 4;3O o'clock, and with
no understanding being arrived at
the mine workers he'd a meeting at
the Liberty theater at 1880 O'Clock.
The gathering was presided over by
St. Clair Wood and after a discussion
of matters a vote was taken relative
to declaring a walkout 1t was
finally decided that a holiday should
be declared for today and that a
meeting should be held at the Eagles
hal for this afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock to take up the matters con
tanned in the proposition submitted
by the mine owners. This perm tied
of AL men on the night shift in the
various mines of the Tonopah and
Divide districts being present that
they might express their views.
The proposition submitted by the
nine. operators follows;
"In reply to your committees re-
quest for an increase in wage We
assume that this request is based on
the assumption that wages and cost
of living in other mining camps in
the west are such as 10 justify you
in asking for an increase in wage
here. In order to determine the
actual wage and Tving costs in these
districts, we suggest that your com
mittee and the mine operators jointly
write to various mining companies
in Butte, Mont; in the Idaho mining
districts, in the Utah mining DIS
tricts; also in Ely and Virginia City,
Nevada; a.so to Bisbee, Miami and
Jerome, Ariz., to determine the wage
scale existing in these camps; also to
determ ne what is charged for board
and lodgings and general living costs.
"After this information has been
gathered we can then intelligently
discuss the relative wage and living
costs here with those in the camps
enumerated above.
IF these investigations should de
velop that wages and living costs
are not more favorable to you here
than they are in these districts, d
wage increase will be granted, the
amount of which will depend upon
what this investigating shows, and
will take effect as of Oct. l, 1922.
(Signed) JOHN G. KIRCHEN,
Chairman of Meeting.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
FOR governor WILL
CUT DOWN EXPENSE!

members of the tax commission went
over the proposed state budget and
made the reduction as indicated
after which it was approved. o.
But in no case was the proposed
appropriation for a state officer re,
duced.
During the early part Of the recen'
session Of the equalization board
there was a clamor for reductions
all along the rne and a number of
assessors were rarin' to go. 1t was
believed that some fur would fly and
that an effort would be made %
offset John NTlers economy slogan.
Undoubtedly this would have been
the case had it not been for the
eagle eye Of Governor Boyle. He
called a number Of the most anxious
and wiling assessors into conference
and told them it was all fixed and
they returned to the Arlington con
vjnced that the great economy had
been effected and that a reduction
in valuations was but one Of the
many pleasant features Of public life
Yes, he fixed it, all right, but at
the expense Of the educational, char
liable and penal Institutions
The budget as it comes from Gov
eruor Boyle to his successor is not
mandatory in its figures and it Is
expected that Governor Miller will do
some more slashing before he trans
mits it to the assembly.

COTTON SELLS OFF,
LED BY OCTOBER
Futures Liquidation Follows
Unloading Of Options for
Near By Month.

Near month liquidation in preparation
for first October notice day caused yes
terday's cotton to develop reactionary
tendency after momentary gain OF
about IS points in the first half hour of
business. The market eased off 20 to 80
points in late trading and closed near
its low level at loss OF 16 to 20 points.
1t Is not known whether to-day's notices
will be heavy or light, but it was evident
from the manner with which traders got
out of October and into later options
that they were taking no chances.
Public interest In the market was
lacking. An official ginning repcrt Is
due October and will be followed the
on crop condition. There is so much
uncertainty ahead that the market has
developed into strictly waiting affair.
The weather map showed conditions
favorable for picking the crop. Liver
pool cables were firm, but the local mar
kets response was so poor that many
longs sold some of their cotton. A fair
business in the actual was reported from
abroad. Bears harped on the increasing
movement OF new crop cotton.
4 report from the Department OF
Agriculture yesterday stated that the
Indian cotton crop would be about
100000 bales and the Egyptian crop
about 1000, 900 bales. These statistics
were mostly disregarded.
The local spot market was quoted
% points lower at 2l.15 cents a pound
for middling. The New Orleans market
was unchanged at $3.50 cents a pound.
Its sales totaled 1,430 bales.
