 FIGHT IN WEST VA.
La Toilette and Wheeler Ready to
 Invade DaYis' State

New York, Aug. 19.-Senators La Toilette and Wheeler will give battle to the democratic national ticket in John w. Davis home state, West Nir- ginia and in some sections of the solid south" according to Robert NJ. La Toilette, Jr.. campaign manager for his father, who arrived here today to confer with Gilbert s. Roe, region- al campaign director Arthur Garfield Hayes, state chairman, and Herman L. Ekern, in charge of the campaign fund to be solicited from the general public. ..... .s..,s (,
 The senator's son leaves tonight for Washington where the progressive nominees will confer Thursday as to speaking tours.
 Mr. La Follette's attention'Tas call ed to the report that Warren s. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers, is to resign as treasurer of the conference for pro- gressive political action.s
 My understanding of the matter is that Mir. Stones resignation has no significance" he said. Tt is largely a technical proposition as he felt that the treasurer should also be located in Washington along with the offices of Mir. Bronson, who has direct charge of the drive being made among the labor organization" . n...
 "Six weeks ago I would have said there was not any possibility of car rying any of the southern states" La Toilette declared, but we have had men in the field making survey to decide whether or not we should spend any of our limited resources in that territory, and we have received such encouraging reports that we have decided it is worth while 10 make strenuous campaign there"
 The situation in the far west, MT. La Toilette described as bright, and he announced that a vigorous fight would be made for Nebraska, the home state of Governor Bryan.

SHRINE BAND
HERE SUNDAY
Reno Shriners Will Entertain
Valley People With Patrol
Drill on Sunday Afternoon

Members of Kerak Temple, Order
of Mystic Shrine of Reno will visit
Gardnerville Sunday afternoon and
give a band concert and patrol drill
on Main street at four o'clock, and
everybody is invited to attend.
The Reno Shriners have one of the
best bands in the state and from the
fact that no band music has been
heard in Gardnerville for two years,
the concert to be given by the visitors
should prove to be an exceedingly at
tractive drawing card. The Kerak
Temple drill team is also rated as one
of the best on the Pacific Coast and
the drill to be put on Sunday after
noon will be well worth seeing.
The Reno Shriners, it is understood,
intend to visit different towns in
western Nevada, the main purpose of
which is to promote closer relation
ship between the people Of Reno and
the outlying districts.
You are invited to bring your friends
and attend the band concert at Gard
nerville next Sunday afternoon at a
o'clock.

THE POPULARITY OF
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

There is no mystery" and no
myth" connected with the popularity
of Calvin Coolidge, the claims of the
over-sophisticated politician and the
smart-aleck type of journalist to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
President Coolidge has a standing
with the great body of the American
people almost unprecedented in the
history of his high office, because he
embodies in the average mind the
thing which his Democratic opponent
for the Presidency says is his issue in
this campaign, namely common hon.
esty.
Nothing can shake the faith of the
American people in the integrity of
President Coolidge. The faith is bas-
ed upon the origin, the character and
the record of the man. He symbolizes
that quality which people generally
believe at the bottom of good govern
ment-integrity in the official.
Scandal and rumor of scandal only
cause the freedom of this man from
the suspicion of either mental or NOR
al dishonesty to stand out in sharper
outline. There are two kinds of dis
honesty menacing to good govern
ment. One of these is financial dis
honesty. No one charges that either
against President Coolidge or the op-
posing candidates for the Presidency.
The other is intellectual dishonesty.
witnessing the type of campaign
waged by President Coolidge's oppon-
ents, the people are not so sure that
they come clean on this quality. AS
for President Coolidge, people gener-
ally believe that he would be ineap-
able of framing a fraudulent issue as
of forging check.
The American people, during the
last ten years, have passed through
an orgy of bombast and false pretense
in politics. The demagogue has trou-
bled their ears with his clamor until
his wares have become a drug ON the
market. People are beginning to de-
mand that political leaders display the
same frankness and sincerity in poll
tics that they expect from an honest
neighbor when he talks with them.
They suspect the politician who seeks
to gain their confidence and their sup
port through flattery and false pre-
tense, just as they suspect any indi-
vidual of their acquaintance who tries
to "put something over" on them by
getting on their blind side. They sus-
pect the politician who continually

HIGHWAY COUNT
AT MT. HOUSE

During the week September 8 to Ia
inclusive, a traffic count was taken on
Route 3 near Holbrook, commonly
known as Mountain House. This is
on the direct route of travel between
the Yosemite Valley by way of the
Tioga grade and Lake Tahoe region.
In addition, it is one of the main trav-
eled routes leading southwark into
Los Angeles by way of Bishop, the
Owens river valley and Mojave. 1t is
probable that tourist travel was more
greatly affected on this route than
any other leading into Nevada on ac-
count of the foot and mouth disease
among cattle. This was because of
the large number of quarantine sta
tions at county line points in Califor-
MIA in addition to the district regula-
tions in effect at the Nevada line. In
fact, it was observed that during the
summer months when travel is usual
ly heaviest over this route, there were
practically no cars coming into Ne
vada except those having urgent busi-
ness in this state.
The count as taken gives the fol-
lowing results:

new SCHOOL AT
DRESSLERVILLE
Indian Children Have Modern
School House Which Was
Com pleted d This Week

The new school house at Dressler-
vile, which has been under course Of
construction for the past several
weeks, was completed few days ago,
and classes were held in the new
structure Wednesday for the first
time.
The new building gives the Indian
children of this county one of the
most modern school houses of its kind
in the state. 1t is not the largest
building to be sure, but the arrange
ment of windows and other improve
ments are in conformity with adopted
plans in all modern school buildings.
Some forty Indian children are in
attendance at the Dresslerville school
and they are doing remarkably well
under the instruction of Leta Bliss,
the teacher.
According to a report by James E.
jenkins of the Reno Indian agency,
the federal government is giving SUBJ
stantial aid to the education of Indian
children in Nevada, and for the fiscal
year ended June 80 shows that to fif-
ty-three schools IN thirteen counties
there was paid by the United States
government the total of $20,06.07 as
tuition money for Indian children at
tending public schools. Tuition money,
the report states, received by the
Dresslerville school, during 1923-1924
was $278625.
