RENO, Nov. 3.-The Republican
national, state and county candi-
dates were the participants in
big rally here last night, which was
attended by an immense gathering
of the people, many of whom were
wildly enthusiastic.
Charles Chandler, the candidate
for United States senator, received
warm ovation and at once
launched into the delivery of one of
the best speeches of this campaign,
in the course of which he took op-
portunity to refute the charge that
he is a corporation lawyer, stating
that if he is elected he will sell
his law business and become the
attorney for the people of the state
of Nevada.
He entered ints an analysis of
Pittman's record and said, "Pitt-
man claims that if he had not been
in the senate there would be no
silver bill, while the truth remains
, that the bill was war measure,
drawn by the treasury department,
altered to suit representatives of
the western silver producing states,
and after it had come out of COM
| mittee conferences was given to
Pittman to introduce. In corrobora-
tion of his statement Mr.. Chandler
read a copy of a letter written by
ex-President Wilson to Carter Glass,
at that time chairman of the House
committee on banking and currency,
| urging the passage of the bill and
saying, "Owing to the delicate sit
uation urgency must put the bill
over without debate or publicity"
Consequently the bill was passed
sight Inseen as a war measure to
| aid Great Britain avert threatened
revolt in India.
Taking up the Pittman reclama-
tion bill, Mr.. Chandler said that it
can only benefit men of means, as
| it takes several thousand dollars
to drill wells, put in irrigation
works and such investments are not
attractive to that class of people.
He said, "The kind of bill that is
needed and will get results, is one
that will provide for the govern
ment to drill the necessary wells,
put the water on the lands, and
then sell them on longtime pay
ments. If that it done Nevada
/
| fields of waving grain, with homes,
villages, and thousands of pros
porous people where there is now
| nothing but sagebrush"
| The Transportation act, with its
long and short haul provisions,
which Pittman now condemns and
for which he censures the Repub-
| lican administration, was in force
4 I,,r,,c W;1.Aa .~k~
and Mr.. Chandler asked why it
wasn't changed when Pittman's
party was in power, if he disap-
proves of it.
"Pittman voted for the emerg-
ency tariff BILL" said Mr.. Chandler,
"and supported the wool amendment
to the Fordney-McC Cumber bill, then
VOTED AGAINST THE WHOLE
BILL. Pittman was a very good
man when the Democrats were in
power, but his record shows, since
they went out of control, that he
has never introduced bill that has
passed, since March 4, 1921, the
date when his usefulness to the
state of Nevada came to an end"
Harry Atkinson, the candidate for
attorney general made a good talk
and said, among other things: "The
Republican platform is built of
these planks: Economy of admins
tration and reduction in taxation;
and to the governor must be given
iieutenants in sympathy with the
work, if he is expected to carry
out the program"
people ali over this state have
told u.s." said Mr.. Atkinson, "that
they can hardly raise the money
wherewith to meet their tax pay
ments. This a serious situation and
must be met and overcome. This
