The election of a district attorney

assumed a somewhat amusing aspect,
Notwithstanding the vital importance
which attaches to the matter. Many

some wise ones may have made a

torney Edwards vas considered the
logical mar for The place and expert
ence and training seemed to give
him the race. Some ingenious polit-
ical methematieians figured that the
entry of Mr.. Handwright as an indie
pendent might somewhat check the
speed which Edwards figured TO
show. When the race started Ed
wards had the rail- and seems 10 have
consistently held IT, sitting firmly in
the saddle and riding we'll. As they
rounded the first turn Handwright,

the two seem TO have to fight II out
where the going is hard and be con-

get from the grandstand as they
struggle for second money and Ed

shape that 1t looks as though he will
breeze past the judges stand an
easy winner.

POLITICAL SIDELICHTy
BY THE WATCHM4N

The Endorsement of Senator Pitt
mans candidacy by the labor unions
In the western part of the state has
o%ccasioned the republicans much
disquietude. Labor recognizes the
fact that in Mr.. Pittman they have
a friend and representative in Wash
ington who has proven his worth on
every occasion when measures favor
able or u~nfavorable to labor have
come up for discussion or action.
During the "finis" OF republican ma
tional maladministration in the next
two years much drastic legislation
adverse to labor and labor organiza-
lions will be proposed; such meas
ures cannot be enacted into laws
without votes in congress. and labor
intends to see that IL has sufficient
representation to defeat them. There
is much reason in the old saying that
it is unwise to change horses while
crossing a stream, and the adage is
particularly aprpos at this time.
There will be plenty of political
doings in the Ely district this COM
ing week. Leading candidates of
both parties will be amongst us and
there will be handshaking. red fire
and oratory galore. One of the chief
issues put forward by the repub-
licans, which they seem to regard as
OF great Importance TO the people of
eastern Neada. will probably occupy
a prominent place in their discus
sions, as 1t did in Mr.. Chambers
speech before the voters of Elko last
Monday night. 1t concerns the ques-
tion of Who is entitled to the credit
OF securing the fish ladder for the
trout In Truckee river?" Congress
mar Arentz has Indignantly denied
the charge that he has done nothing
for the people of Nevada during his
term of Office. and In refutation he
points with pride to the fish ladder;
in a p%ainstaking and able argument
Mr.. Chandler has been en%deavoring
to show that Mr., Arentz Is right in
his claim.
The voters will perhaps be able to
reach a decision on this momentous
question after hearing the arguments
in a few days.

The soeialistie appendage Of the
republican eampaigners iterates and
r%eiterates his statement that the VIII
son administration plunged the ma
ton 's24. 900 900 600 in debt and
that one-half of that vast sum was
wasted. Which half does he mean?
The $4,000 900 900 that was loaned
to the allies or the $4,000. 900. 00O
that America expended to equip me
boys and send them over there ia
win the war; Perhaps In line with
the views of some OF his so-called
peace-loving cronies the socialist
candidate would have sent the boys
across the deep improperly armed
and sacrificed their lives to save =
few dollars. That's the ethics of
some people.

In all of his speeches Throughout.
the state John Heconomy Miller has
failed TO answer the repeated inqui-
ries as TO how he would economize If
elected. He has no constructive pro-
gram to offer, either along the lines
of economy, of state government or
of public enterprises, which would
be beneficial to the people. lie has
contented himself with standing on
the housetops and shouting his war
cry to the four winds. lie is not fool
ing anybody but himself. IL he thinks
he is gathering votes; in this section
most OF the voters are from Missouri.
and II will require something more
than repeated utterance of an empty
catchword TO convince them. Colonel
Scrugham has n record of past per-
formances as a state official of which
he is justly proud, as any man should
be. Not words. but deeds" has
been the motto which he has consist
emily followed, and the voters are not
going to overlook this fact. Maybe

although not himself a candidate, is
trying TO induce the trading of sem
atorial votes for gubernatorial. His
little scheme is doomed to failure.
In the first place, the democratic sem
atorial candidate does not find him
self in need of such proffered votes,
and furthermore he is above being a
party to a plot of that nature. In
the second place, the republican sen
atorial candidate can be relied upon
to make himself heard and his infiu-
ence felt among the voters II the
move should materialize to PLACE him
on the sacrificial altar: and Ii is not
conceivable that the gubernatorial
candidate of his party would for a
moment entertain the idea OF poiit-
ical suicide by such a route. So the
originator of this artful and self
centered plot may as well begin com
posing its epitaph.

a system OF wireless telephony now
connects the Turks Islands and the
Carcos Islands in the West Indies. the
wireless telegraphy and for communi-
cation with ships. The distance covered
by the radiotelephone circuit is about
twelve miles
Recent advices received at the De-
partment of Commerce from Trade
Commissioner Young, Riga. state that
during May a new wireless telephone
broadcasting station, located on the
Hurst railway station in Moscow. was
opened by the Peoples Commissariat
Of Post and Telegraphs. The station
was built by the Nizhni-Novgorod la
Doratory of the government, and is de-
signed to broadcast messages and wire
less press sent out by the government.
The wireless traffic between England
and Spain. which has been handled for
some time by land wires to the Poldhu
station and thence by radio. has been
greatly improved by the substitution
OF the new Marconi station at Ongar
as the transmitting agency. This sta
tion is worked by distant control from
London, so that messages filed in that
city are sent direct by radio without
any retrnsmission. The same station
Is now working on schedule with three
othe~ continental wireless stations. &C
cording to the Daily Mail.
Poldhu. located in Cornwall, Is one
of the oldest and probably the best
known of the European high power
radio stations. At the present time
it is not being actively used and its
eventual disposition is uncertain. al
though there has been some discussion
OF plan to convert it into a radio
telephone broadcasting station.
The Egyptian department of state
railways. telegraph and telephones
has announced through the press tina t
commercial wireless service Is open to
the pubic from the station at Abou Ia
bal. according to a report received at the
Department of Commerce from Consul
Maynard. Alexandria. Since 1914, when
station was completed. it has been used
only for government messages. but will
now handle commercial traffic through
the state offices. Wireless messages
to Great Britain and Ireland will be
accepted subject to the same rules as
ordinary kilograms.
