RENO CITIZENS MAKING EFFORT
TO PROTECT STATE UNWERuTY

dangerous bearing upon the entire
state.
Rev. Norman w. Pendieton was
next called upon and delivered STIR
ring address. He urged the members
of the league of women voters in
Reno to weigh carefully the remarks
of Mr.. Linn ard to Immediately pre-
pare for a statewide campaign. He
read from pamphlets issued under
authority of the United States gov
districts, and said that five thousand
of the pamphlets had been ordered
with view of placing them in every
Reno home, but he felt further ac-
ton should be taken to place them in
every home throughout the state.
He said that he entertained no doubt
as to what the result would be IN
the next election because the great
majority of the people of Nevada
were clean, healthy people who could
he depended upon to take the side
of right, and they knew full wei! that
the future welfare of the state de-
manded that men be elected to pub
lie office who could likewise be de-
pended upon to do their duty as they
saw it for tho benefit of the whole
state and not for the direct benefit
of a few unconscionable people who
looked only to the few paltry dollars
that they might make without regard
for the disastrous effect that their
operations may have upon all the
state and all its people.
Rev. Pendleton said he would like
to be in Nevada to closely observe re-
suits IN the next campaign. While
having accepted call to Ruther-
ford, N. J., where'he said broader
field of influence opened to him, he
remarked, II do not know but
will try to save money enough to
make the trip back across the con-
tinent in order to be here when the
battle is on"
In urging the women to keep up
the fight and to extend their influ-
ence throughout the state he said:
mot that it will have any effect upon
the present mayor and city council.
They are committed to a policy and
are bound to carry it out. I knew
that all along. but when the matter
comes before all the people there Is
one thing they will never forget,
and that is the deal that was put
over Remember that small piece
of property valued at $500 was
transferred to this so-called invest
ment company for $4,000" said
Rev. Pendleton. land that is one
thing the people of Reno and the
state of Nevada will never forget.
the deal that was put over. !"
While advising the members of
the league that he was we'll aware
of the fact that the mayor and city
council were committed to policy
which meant the establishment of
the present restricted district, which
is just barely over the 400-yard limit
from the beautiful new junior high
school, he said he knew that now
was the time to bring it to the at
tention of the people and keep 1t be-
fore their minds continuously, SO
that it would have its effect wher
any of those responsible for sucp a
deplorable condition again sought
the suffrage of the public. AN ad-
vertising man once told me-" said
Rev. Pendleton, "that the secret of
effective advertising was to keep re-
peating the thing to the same peo-
ple."
Mrs. o. H. Mack. who was in her
place as president of the organiza-
tion, made inquiry as to what had
happened to certain resolutions which
were presented to the mayor and
city council protesting against the
action taken by the mayor and city
council, and remarked that while
numerous protests were filed from
civic bodies in Reno, the only one
that was read, as she understood 1t
was the one from the w. c. T. U.
This brought forth the motion that
the secretary Of the league Of women
voters address a communication to
the city officials of Reno inquiring g
why such protests were not read.
and to this Professor FeeEster i'm
mediately arose with an amendment
to the original motion to the effect
that inquiry be made why those pro-
tests were suppressed. The amend
ment prevailed and the secretary was
directed to forward the communica-
tion accordingly.
The members present were unani-
nous in all matters which came up
for discussion with respect to the re-
cent action OF the mayor and city
council of Reno, and it's disastrous
effect upon the entire state and their
determination to henceforth oppose
those men responsible for the ex-
isting conditions was evident on
every side.
