c. Dancy in a communication which
will be submitted 10 the commits

the fourth million Series ID bonds,

The text OF the communication Is
as follows:
"At this stage Of our road pro-

extended in the future, that We
build the pavements on such roads

Two nine-foot roads Of an sgCre-
gate length Of 7 IL miles have been
constructed in the Los Fresnos see
ton on the old Alice and Paroles
line. Commenting on these, Judge
Dancy said.
II am very proud n the half width

shoulders unfinished and the 50-foot
intersections not in, everybody is
'cussing' them; but just wait until
those roads are completed and see il
the people don't want them, espe-
cially in such weather as we have
right now.
I'VE can't build roads to every
mans door and the 9-foot pavement

bigotry that beat against 1t.

forcement of the 18th Amendment,

18th, 14th and 18th Amendments.
3s-Hoover meets the issue of a

government, declaring his unshak-
able faith in Civil Service and in

those who deserve the respect and
confidence of the community. fRead
Hoover's speech at Elizabethton,
Tenn. October 7th.

ing his colored fellow citizens all
Industrial and professional oppor-
tnnity has. been proven not only in

tariff and prosperity policy when
elected.
Hoover promises a continu-
ance of restricted immigration which

ton in the Census Bureau in WASH
ington.

ing. independent and progressive

commerce for colored and white
Americans alike.
S.-Smith and the Democratic
Party are committed to the destruc-
tion of the present immigration
laws.
They are in favor of letting down
the bars OF immigration and the
entrance of a flood of cheap Euro
pean labor which would lower the
standard of wages and working con-
ditions for colored as we'll as white
labor The entrance of colored men
and women during the last decade
into their ever widening field Of en-
ployment has been due to the re-
striction placed by the Republican
Party on foreign immigration.

Party have refused to allow colored
Democrats to participate in the cam
palgn-at the behest of the south
except through the jim-crow "Al

mittee. If he will do this before

10.-Smith and the Democratic
Party have destroyed colored Demo-
cratic leadership under such stalwart
and progressive leaders as Ferdinand
q. Morton Of New York and William
s. Hargrove of New Jersey.
11.-Smith and the Democratic
Party through the present head Of
Tammany Hall have discarded the
support of colored New York with
the statement that their voters are
so few that they are not worth
while bothering with"
12.-Smith and the Democrats
have yielded completely. through
such Spokesman as Mayor Walker
of New York, to the southern race
point of view in the denial of the
civil and human rights of colored
citizens.
Read the troth of northern and
southern democracy plighted by
Mayor Walker at the unwilling of
the monument to the Confederate
General Stonewall jackson and Rob
ert T.. Lee, at Stone Mountain at
Atlanta. Remember the spectacle
of Robert E. Lee, 3rd, being made a

SOR IN AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT NEAR APEX.

District Extension Agent, j. H.
WittWer, and Prof. V. E. Scott,
Dairy and Poultry Specialist OF
the University of Nevada, narrowy
escaped death last evening, when
Wittwer's car a Buick six coupe
climbed a steep bank beside the
road, turned turtle and dropped
back onto the highway,
That both passengers escaped
with scarcely a scratch is con-
sidered nothing short of mir
acle. The car was badly wrecked,
the radiator being smashed, the
top ruined, WindslL,l.d broken,
wheels, bent, and possible the
frame sprung.
The accident occurred about IL
o'clock p. m. when Mr.. WlttWer
and Pof. Scott were returning
from the Virgin and Moapa val
leys where they have been holding
meetings for the past few days.
A heavy schedule made it nee
eSsary for them to return to Las
Vegas after the close of the meet
ing last evening, in order that

According to accounts obtain
able in Mr. Wittwer's absence,
Prof Scott was driving, while
Mr.. Wittwer had gone to sleep.
When making one of the curves
just this side of the summit, II
miles out, the car suddenly climb
ed the high bank, turned over,
and fell back on tn road. 1t is
not known whether Prof. Scott
himself, fell asleep at the wheel
for an instant, or whether he tried
to make too short a turn.
Mr. Wittwer was brought to Las
Vegas by passing tourists, and
arranged with one of the garages
to go out after the car. He then
went back to the scene of the
wreck, and brought Prof. Scott
in. Both Prof Scott and Mr..
