DENIAL AND CORRECTION

In its issue Of August IL, 1920,
there appears in Las Vegas Age.
an article entitled Griffith Says
No Arbitration, which mentions
a letter to the Board of County
Commissioners, dated August 9,
1928, from E. w. Griffith through
Robt. B. Griffith, his attorney in
fact, relating to arbitration of
questions concerning Charleston
Road.
In the same issue appears an
editorial entitled, mo Arbitration
as follows:
"The offer of the Board of
County Commissioners to SET
tie the Charleston Park road
controversy by referring it to
an unbiased committee has
been turned down and ridiculed
by Mr.. E. w. Griffith. This it
seems leaves no alternative but
to resort to the courts.
In his letter which is on file
with the County Clerk, MI.
Griffith makes some assertions
which the Editor of the Age
feels will require some discus
sion at later date.
The Age refrainS from pub
fishing Mr.. Griffith's letter at
this time, because as a whole it
is such a pitiful exhibition of
personal spite and petty quio-
bling that it is hardly worthy
of serious notice"
The letter itself is the best
evidence of its contents and I am
asking Mr.. Squires to publish the
same in full in this issue, that the
public may be advised of the true
reasons of my inability to ar
bitrate, and that the public may
Judge whether the letter is in fact
"a pitiful exhibition of personal
spite and petty quibbling, un-
worthy of serious notice"
Following is the letter in fun:
Las Vegas, Nevada,
August 9, 1873.
To The Board of County Conf
missioners
OF Clark County, Nevada.
Gentlemen:
Referring to the letter from
the County Clerk, dated July IL
1928, enclosing a copy OF what
purports to be a Resolution pass
ed by you July II, 1928, relating
to Charleston Road, will say that
my reply was delayed by the alb
sence of Robert B. Griffith, whom
I desired to consult upon his re-
turn. I was unable to confer with
him, because of my illness, and
was obliged to leave for TIE
Coast upon order of my physician
I have always believed In TIE
principle of arbitration, when a
submission can be had in a spirit
of fairness by all parties in in
terest. If substantial controversy
exists In this case, and If you
'have only the interests of Glars
County at heart. are only concern
ed in the preservation of the
rights of the County over and up
on its highways, and are not de-
sirous of entering into any con-
troversy with any private ind
viduals as to the legality or non-
legality of said road. other thar
to protect the interests of Glars
County, then, and in such event
most certainly would be glad tC
submit the matter to Board ol

Neither George v. Coffin nor Rob

appointment of Mr.. Mcdonald, or

person who requested me to present
Mr.. McDonald's name to Warren T.

ance with Mr.. Mcdonald at the

gest his name. 1 did not then nor

their proposition did not interest

too much upon the influence of II

became indignant and informed me
that they thought the indianapolis
News was powerful enough to de-
stroy any one who would not CO.

threat that they would destroy me
if I failed to cooperate with them.

indictments are not evidence of
guilt. Many men have been indicted,
including a prominent representa-
tive of the Indianapolis News, and a
former Democratic mayor Of IN
dianapolis who subsequently served
in the high and honorable position
of United States Senator.
Those who have seen fit to give
currency to this false propaganda
and are continuing to do so, are
crying out to the public that they
want to clean house. What do they
expect to clean in the State?
1.-THE State is entirely free from
indebtedness.
"The tax rate has been reduced

cratic administration to % cents I'M

Farm land valuations for taxa

acres of park and forestry land dur
ing this administration, more than
three times the amount we had for

1.-THE capacity and standard Of the
State institutions have been greatly
increased until our institutions and
their management stand in the first

Move Called Outrage

The charge of conspiracy to bride
and the attempt, after a lapse of
years, by the influence and power
of repeated suggestions to aid others
in attributipg actions and state
ments that were made by others to
myself, is a most outrageous in
justice.
THE only circumstance that I
contributed to the whole matter was
the innocent one of suggesting the
name of Mr.. Mcdonald to Warren
T. McCray upon the request Of Bish-
op Fout. These facts would have
appeared from the testimony of
numerous disinterested witnesses if
the case had been fully tried.
There has been much said about
Stephensonism and the influence
that D. c. Stephenson was supposed
to exercise with this administration
80 far as this applies to the exec
utive department, he has had abso-
lutely no influence; there has been
no appointment made during this
entire administration that bore the
recommendation of D. c. Stephen
son; and it can be further said that
D. G. Stephenson has never recon-
mended nor requested the appoint
ment of any individual during this
administration.
THE bitter opposition to this adj
ministration and to myself person.
ally began Immediately after I re-
fused to enter into an agreement to
appoint Warren Fairbanks United
States Senator, or some one whom
he would select.

Has Kept the Faith

Il have kept the faith. I have no
apologies to offer. The unequalled
record of accomplishments of this
has been made
against the most bitter opposition
ever encountered by chief execu-
tive of our State, opposition by in
diivduals and interests who, being
unable to control or rule, have
sought by means of destructive crit
icism, malignment and villiflcation
to ruin or destroy. 1t has required
unusual courage and patience to
maintain a dignifled poise and an
even course sufficient to record the
accomplishments of which we are
justly proud.
Last year, in addition to other
false charges made and given cur
rency, was added the charge of con-
spiracy to bride Governor McCray to
James E. Mcdonald prose-
cutting attorney of Marion County.
81 stated in my message to the last
general assembly that there had
been wholesale charges of official
corruptino made, but that so far as
these charges related to State Off
Gals, they we're not made in good
faith; that they were felse. reiter-
ate that statement with emphasis.
These charges were made and given
currency by individuals and inter-
ests who had personal ambitions to
serve, and not the interests Of their
State.
GAS to the charge Of conspiracy to
bride Governor McCray to appoint
James E. Mcdonald prosecuting at
torney, this charge was copyrighted
by a man who has had years of ex-
perience4i in various prisons, and the
attempt was made to sustain it,
after lapse of years, by the influ-
ence and power of repeated sugges-
lions.

ALSO to name one of the splendid
men seeking the high privilege and
honor of being the chief standard
bearer of our party in the State,
and to nominate men or women to
fill the other important positions in
our State government, all of whom,
when nominated, with the united
party supporting them and with the
remarkable record of the party in
State and nation to aid them, can
go forth with the assurance of vic
tory.
-Four years ago by a majority
vote of gu party I was made the
party's standard bearer in the cam
paign. In the general election, by
large majority, I was given the
commission as chief executive of our
State I am, after almost three and
one-half years of the administration
have passed into history, proud to
come to my party and render to it
an accounting of my stewardship.

News Approach Alleged

THE night Honorable Samuel
M. Ralston died, and almost before
his body was cold, Warren Fairbanks
and Curtis Hodges Of the Indianapo-
lis News, came to the Governors
residence and proposed that, in con-
sideration of my appointing Mr.,
Fairbanks or some one whom he
would select for United States Sen
ator, they would give me full support
of the indianapolis News to aid me
to control the Republican organiza i.
ton, wrestling it, as they said, from
the control Of Senator Watson; and
that they would give me the full
support of the Indianapolis News
for the nomination of United States
Senator against Watson in 1926.
They expressed the most bitter
opposition to Senator Watson at
that time. When I told them that
