accident said had the child been six
nches closer the car would have
broken her neck.
Chester Freemonth seems to have
exceptionally good luck when it

ROAD MEETING AT PARADISE
ATTENDED BY GOOD CROWD

Several of the citizens of Winnie
mucca attended meeting held at
Paradise Valley last Saturday night,
called for the purpose of endeavor-
ing to secure road survey variant
from that made by the state engi-
neer of highways. From one who
was in attendance it is learned that
quite little talk was indulged in
and several suggestions made that
if properly acted upon may result
in the accomplishment of the object
desired.
1t is said that the counsel Of
Judge j. A. Callahan was about the
best that was expressed and the gist
Of it was that cooperation between
all parties concerned can best be
brought about by dispassionate, un-
selfish consideration of all the in
terests involved.

AN OFFICE OF SIGNAL I'M
PORTANCE TO TAXPAYERS

Victor A. Pinson of Golconda
Democratic candidate for county
commissioner, for short term, wa
in town a couple of days ago and
expressed himself as being confident
that he will be chosen, at the gen.
eral election, to serve the people as
a member of the board of county
commissioners.
Mr.. Pinson, among those who best
know him, is accredited with being
particularly well qualified for the
place, as it is pointed out that he
has, by pursuing methods OF
economy and industry, made a sue.
cess in the handling of his own
personal affairs and from that one
may naturally conclude that he will
observe the same commendable
policy in administering the business
of the people, who are sadly in
need of some Intervention in then
behalf, that they may be enabled to
get fair, square run for the money
that they contribute in the form OF
taxes that are assessed for the
ostensible purpose of securing fund.-
to defray the expense of building
and maintaining good roads ano
other things that rebound to tn.
benefit of people living in progres.
sive communities.
A vote for Pinson, his friends in.
sist, will be a vote for a man who
will exert himself to get a dollar in
service for every dollar in cash.

WILSON WINS OUT
IN SUPREME COURT
Supreme Court Reverses Decree of
Lower Court and Finds That
People Nominated Present
District Attorney

Just on the eve of going to
press The Silver State is ap-
prised, through the courtesy of
Attorney }. A. Langwith-one
of the counsellors interested in
the case and who, from the
first, maintained that the pencil
marked ballots were not valid
ballots-of the receipt by him
of the following telegram from
the clerk of the supreme court:
Carson City, New, Oct. "a.
J. A. Langwith, Attorney,
Winnemucca, Nevada.
In case of Warren versus
Wilson court denies motion to
dismiss appeal and reverses
judgment of district court and
directs that tribunal to enter
judgment in favor of Contestee
Wilson. Written opinion will
be fled later.
VIM. KENNETH,
Clerk Supreme Court.
A phone message received
last night by County Clerk J.
w. Davey from the clerk of the
supreme court advised Mr..
Davey that the supreme court
had handed down a decision in
the WarrehiWilson contest
case, reversing the decree of
Judge Taber, and sustaining
the claims of District Attorney
Wilson as the Democratic nomi-
nee.
Attorney c. E. Robins also
received = message from At
torney L. C. Campbell, one of
Wilson's attorneys in the case,
stating that the supreme court
had reversed Judge Tabers de-
cision and held that Wilson is
the nominee; and the opinion
of some of the members of the
bar is that this will end the
controversy, which means an
other four-years tenure of the
office for District Attorney
Wilson, as he has no opponent
in the general election.

POLITICAL CHARGES
ARE NOT TRUTH FUL
Mineral County Taxes With Miller
in Control Were the Lowest in
the History of the County
L. a Matter of Record

For ten days malicious propa-
ganda has been mailed to the Demo-
cratic press of the state concerning
the record of Senator John III. Mil
Ter during his term as county COM
missioner of Mineral county.
Here are some samples of it:
John II. Miller tried his prentice
hand on his form of retrenchmeni
and economy so well in Mineral
county that the tax levy rose from
$1.7265 in 1917 to $2.0795 in 1920.
"In 1917 the Mineral county tas
rate was $1.7265, third highest in
Nevada and exceeded only by Nye
and Ormsby.
This was bad enough, but in 1915
when John H. Miller became a men,
ber of the county board the tax rate
rose to $2.0795, the highest in the
state
Again we ask that the voter turl
to the records:
John H. Miller was selected as a
member of the board of commits
sioners in Mineral county in 1911
when the county was organized. He
served continuously until the end
of 1920.
During the first four years of his
administration the board was Re-
publican and Miller was one of the
Republican majority. The county
tax rate during these four years

Especial to The Silver State)

tSpeclal TO Inc silver SCateD
CARSON CITY, Oct. 23.-Gover-
aor Boyle, last Saturday designated
1 judge of the Nevada supreme
court from among the district
judges to act in case on account
IF the reluctance of Chief Justice
sanders, himself a candidate for
election, to participate in a prim-
lry election adjudication. District
Judge T. c. Hart of the Churchill
Lyon district was designated.
The case is an appeal from the
district court in Humboldt county
IN primary election contest in
which Judge Z. j. L. Taber of Elko
served as special judge in the
rial of the case, at the request of
he Humboldt county district judge,
Judge j. A. Callahan, who, because
If the fact that the principals in
the case are all members of the
humboldt county bar, felt it best
Tor all parties concerned that an
outside judge pass upon the merits
If the case.
In the primary election, recently
leld, the present district attorney
was up for nomination to succeed
himself with an opponent in the
person of H. Warren. Wilson was
declared the nominee of the voters
If the primary. After the board of
election canvassers had ordered is
'ued to Wilson a certificate of nomi-
iation, as district attorney, War
'en filed contest proceedings in the
district court and after carefully
considering the testimony in the
.ase and listening to the arguments
If counsel, Judge Taber ruled that
he pencil marked ballots, which
argely entered into the contro-
iersy, were valid votes and should
De so counted, and he decided, after
,assing upon that matter, that War
'en had received the majority of
The votes cast and that to Wilson
certificate of nomination had been
grongfully issued. From Judge
raber's decision District Attorney
Wilson appealed to the supreme
,ourt, and arguments will probably
De heard today.
This is the third time the COVER
lor has designated a district judge
% sit on the supreme bench since
he constitution was changed to per-
nit it. District Judge George A.
Bartlett of Washoe and District
Judge j. A. Callahan of Humboldt,
have been named in other cases.
