TARIFF THEME
IN PARADISE
Republican Candidates Win
ers in ErstwhiIe
Democratic District.

WINNEMUCCA, Oct, 15-The
protective tariff proved popular
theme at Paradise last night when
the Republican candidates address,
ed a crowd of two hundred peo-
pie. The applause was noticeably
missing as the several speakers
drove home their arguments for
Republican victory at the polls
but when the meeting had ad-
iourned, those solid thinking far
mers and stockmen and their
wives expressed themselves sing
ly and collectively in no unmis-
taxable terms. They gave assur-
ance that the Republican party
would be given a substantial mai
ority in the erstwhile Democratic
territory comprising Paradise Val
ley.
"a senator seeking reelection
must submit his record to the
people, and on it must stand or
fall" was the argument advanced
by Sam Platt, Republican nominee
for United States Senator.
calm, accurate analysis Of
Senator Pittman's record in the
senate shows that instead of be-
ing a friend of farmers, Of stock
men, of miners, of wage earners'
and of business men, he has fol-
owed the destructive free trade
policies of the Democratic party
which are absolutely opposed to
the prosperity of the people of Ne
yada. He has not shown himself
to be a friend of Nevada"
"The question is simply this.
Shall you agricultural people con-
tinue to prosper or will you plunge
headlong into financial ruin by
helping to elect Democratic
congress. Your own prosperity,
the welfare of your homes and
the education of your children are
at stake in this election.
1--WE ask in all sincerity and
candor that the farmers of Para
disc Valley rally to the Repubn
can standard in order that the
present era of Republican pros
perity throughout the nation
might continue"
United States Senator Tasker L..
Oddie told his hearers that Her
bert Hoover has promised tnat
there will be no lowering OF the
tariff in case he is elected and Is
given a Republican majority In
Congress. In fact Hoover has
promised that the tariff on farm
products in many instances Will
be still further increased. :,
"The American farmer and
stockman of today has a salts
factory market for his products
he said, "it is a home market
right here in American and II Is
yours. 1t has brought your far
mers and Stockmen real prosper
ity during the past seven years.
II YOU want 1t continued and
STRENGTHENED, you must elect Hoov-
er and strengthen him by sending
Sam Platt back to congress as
United States Senator and sam
Arentz as representative in con-
gress."
In brief talk. Congressman
Arentz paid a splendid tribute
to the work which Senator Ooole
has been doing for the people OF
Nevada, as against the failure o!
Senator Pittman, who voted
against Nevada's interests on all
important tariff and farm pro-
blems. He insisted that the well
fare of the American people de-
pends upon the election of HooV-
er, backed by a Republican Con-
gresS.
George Russell and Thomas A.
Lotz, Republican candidates for
state Treasurer and Surveyor
General, presented their candida
cies to the Paradise Valley voters
and asked for support on Novem-
ber 6.
M. H. Brown, secretary of the
Republican committee of Hum
boldt County presided. He told
his hearers that he has seen
Humboldt County come from
Democratic stronghold, only four
short years ago, to where 1t is
now on even terms with the Dem
ocratic party, with certainty
that a ma ajority of the Republican
candidates will carry the county
next month. Plans have been
completed for rousing meeting
