SAM PLATT MADE
TALK LAST NIGHT
Candidate for Republican Nomina.
tion for United States Senator
Addressed Voters of This
City at the American

The Honorable Sam Platt, Re-
publican candidate for United
States Senator, was an arrival in
this city yesterday from Lovelock
and addressed a number of citizens
at the American theatre last night,
he having rented that place for the
evening and giving his talk in con-
nection with the regular picture
show, no admission charge being
made.
Mr.. Platt gave a very interesting
talk in the interest of his cam
paign, covering various phases of
the history of the United States
government and touching upon the
late world war and its effects upon
the conditions of this country to-
day. He promised his untiring
efforts for the betterment of condi-
tions in this state as well as the
country at large in case he should
be elected, speaking very highly of
his opponents and declaring that
no matter which one should be
elected that he was sure that the
man for the place would be given
the office. He especially made men,
tion of Congressman Samuel S.
Arentz, expressing admiration for
his record made in Congress and
stating that in his tour of the state
he had learned of the high regard
in which Mr.. Arentz was held by
the voting people.
On account of his limited time
for campaigning, Mr.. Plat is max
ing a tour of the state by train
and talking to large audiences
rather than trying to meet with
all the people personally. He gives
as the reason for his late entry into
the race the fact that he has been
tied up in business matters in
Chicago and it was only at late
date that he knew that he would be
able to run for the office sought
His campaign is an entirely friendly
one as concerns the other candi.
dates, he states, he having taker
the matter up personally with then
before deciding to run.
Mr.. Platt states that he met with
great deal of encouragement in
the western part of the state and
that he has no doubts that he will
be elected. He is urging Repub-
licans everywhere to stick with Their
part, declaring that so doing is as
important now as it was two years
ago.
Mrs. Platt is accompanying Mr.
Platt on his tour and is proving tc
be charming woman and is max
ing friends wherever she goes. The,
expect to reach Elko this evening
where similar meeting to the one
held here last night will be held
They will be busy meeting with the
voters in the various towns unit

SURGEON REMOVES
VERTEbRA Of NECK
Operation Performed This Mornin z
Made Necessary by Fracture
Sustained Tuesday When
Auto Went OFF Road


patient at the local hospital who is
suffering from fracture of a
vertebra at the base of the brain
an automobile accident which oc-
Cured one mile above the Pinson
ranch several days ago, is un-
changed according to reports from
that institution today.
The sufferer was operated upon
this morning by DR.. Raymond st.
Claire of Reno, portion of the
vertebrae at the base of the brain
being removed in an effort to
relieve pressure on the nervous
system. He was assisted in the op-
Grafton by two attending physicians
and three nurses. That a slight
quickening of the patients pulse
was noticeable following the opera
tion is announced, but whether she
will be able to withstand the shock
is uncertain. Ever since the acci-
dent, which occurred Tuesday morn
has been paralyzed from the neck
down and although suffering ter
rible pain when not under the in
fuence of opiates, has never been
unconscious, as stated by DIR. Gil
roux, one of the attending physi-
clans, this morning.
When questioned in regard to the
accident this morning, Mr.. Polk,
husband of the stricken woman,
stated that at the time the car left
the grade they were not travelling
at rate of speed of over twenty
miles an hour, but due to the fact
that he has no sight in one eye and
that the road is unusually rough in
that vicinity, he found it impossible
to keep to the grade. That he
struck chuck hole just before
leaving the road is believed to be
the cause of the accident. He stated
that Mrs. Polk had been driving the
car up until the last five or six
miles and that he had taken the
wheel in order to relieve her for a
time. The presence Of the colored
passenger, formerly stated to be
their chauffeur, was unexplained.
Mr.. Polk, although suffering from a
broken rib, is able to be around and
is doing everything within his power
to alleviate the sufferings of his
wife.
Mrs. Roxie Gallatly, mother of
the injured woman, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. Gallatly, the former a
brother, were arrivals here yester-
day from Twin Falls, Idaho, they
having started Immediately for this
city upon receiving word of the ac-
cident. They made the trip in
twenty-four hours, having covered
the. distance by auto, in an effort
to make the best possible time. Mrs.
Gallatly, the mother, states that
Mrs. Polk is 29 years of age and is
one of ten children in the family.
That she has twin sister in Grand
Island, Nebraska, she. stated. She
said that the Polks were on their
way to Twin Falls to visit with
relatives, they having made their
home in San Francisco for three
years, during which time Mrs. Polk
had not been home for a visit. Mr..
Polk had accepted work in Reno,
she said, and he was merely accom-
panying his wife to Twin Falls be-
fore returning to his work there.
Other members of the family are
to be apprised Of the condition of
the patient and it is likely that 9TH
ers will arrive within few days.
