Pat Welsh of Lander county Is
a cattleman and he recently sold his
beef cattle at $72 head. He has
run for office, has held office, is
wealthy and, a Democrat. Mr.
Walsh's campaigns were always
unique, as his principal argument
was beef, and on those occasions
he invariably left a quarter of beef
at every home in Lander county.
He was always elected by beef, on a
beef platform. Mr.. Walsh being
prominent, and a Democrat, OF
rather a prominent Democrat, was
invited to occupy a seat on the
platform when Mr.. Pittman spoke
at Austin. He was holding down
his seat in a very complacent frame
of mind until Mr.. Pittman men,
toned beef-his beloved beef. Mr..
Pittman had reached that part OF
his speech where the tariff comes in
that deep subject in which SO
many Democrats have floundered.
He said the Republican party was
responsible for the high price of
vegetables, clothing, wheat, grain
and BEEF! Instantly Mr.. Walsh
rose on the platform and said "Boys,
stay with the party that KEEPS
UP THE PRICE OF BEEFw OF
course Mr.. Walsh's breif tariff
talk was followed by loud applause
from the audience. Mr.. Pittman
tried to explain, tried to talk away
his bad break, but beef is a bad
subject for Democrat to attempt
to handle in Nevada. Mr.. Walsh
repeated, Boys, stay with the party
that KEEP UP THE PRICE OF
