TALK TO YOURSELF


sistance in piling up for Warren
G. Harding the greatest vote ever
given a cand date for the presi-
Ieacy? DO ysu remember the mo-
t''at insrired you to go to the
election booth and vote against
o4nles Cox, me Democratic candi
t. DO you remember laAC
you voted, largely as a matter of
pact, with which Mr. Cox said he
oleu inns naLion joining, so that
when any flea-bitten country Il
Europe, engaged IN a rumpus with
one of its multitude of enemies,
commanded, we would have no re-
curse other than to fly to its re-
life with our best blood, our money
II a...nuni.ion and our foodstuffs?
~ $50 eh. 'c.e,I-'ii,e. in that
you change your mind witho II
rhyme or reason? Are you N
clined to pursue path clearly u
ntsd, leaolng TO safety, or are you
going to blindy close your eye
and permit yourself to lie led

hence there can be no csc pc,
lthout making sacrifice of you
ORGY and your boy fe o. o.
Answer yourself and then ask 2ena-
or Key Fittman why, IN tue ma {
Il common sense, you should t
for him. 1t was this same Senat
Pittman who tried his be>tz-oT
worst-to force the other memae.
IF the Uniled states sena.a t. ado2t
| the Wilson League of N ons pa,
| He is one of the few '"il.oA idol
tors who fought and v ted Tor tia
| iniquitous measure. lie was one o.
the miserable licksrittles of tae
man Wilson who urged that the
League of Nations document be
looted, just as it was brought
back by Wilson without the dotting
of an i or the crossing of t. He
is the same Pittman who voted
lgains its ratification, after its OBJ
,oxious features had been elimi-
rated and certain reservations
dded that made of it something
akin to Americanism in principle.
Two years ago Pittman was bitterly
arrayed against the interests of the
| American people, of whom you are
'ne. He is the same Pittman, to-
day, that he was two years ago;
and he has the sheer audacity to
present himself to you with the
plea that you return him to the
senate that he may be a thorn in
the side of the administration that
IS. an admitted champion Of good
Americanism. Talk to yourself,
eighbors-talk to yourself and
| rive free rein to your common
sense, ever keeping in mind that
this is a country made by Ameri-
cans, for Americans, first, last, and
all the time. Those who do not
like preachments of this kind should
be made to go back to the country
from whence they came.
"Scrugham," says the Tonopah
Times, sis opposed to the enact
nent of any blue sky laws" Sure,
Mike! Scrugham is an artist in
bedding blue sky and he quite ma
turally is opposed to the enactment
of any laws that would interfere
with that line of endeavor. The
mere fact that Scrugham is opposed
to the passing of laws having for
their object the protection of the
credulous from confidence men,
other grafters and thieves, ought
TO be sufficient testimony to per-
suade honest people that Scrugham
9 not the man for governor of
this state. In the course of long
experience in the political game
never before have we known of a
candidate for office to publicly
BOAST of his opposition to the pas
sage of laws that would penalize
| confidence workers. And that is
exactly what "blue sky" laws do
nothing more or less. Argument to
the contrary is folly, or insolently
dishonest. If it were not a fact
hat the man Scrugham, himself, in
diets himself, we should be inclined
to suggest to him that he take
teps to save himself from his fool
friends, but the friends are not to
blame, in the least, for Scrugham
in an open letter to the editor of
| the Tonopah Bonanza, nonchalantly
goes on record over his own sigma
ture with the words: ''If elected
governor of Nevada l will veto any
enactment of legislation which has
for its purpose the establishment of
a blue sky law affecting the min
ing industry" That is the sort of
bird Scrugham is!
An Akron, Ohio, university pro-
fessor recently declared that there
are more Americans in jails than
there are in schools. We trust that
the gentleman is either incorrectly
quoted, or that he will supplement
his statement with one that will
tend to relieve us of the suspicion
