PLATT CLOSES
IN WHITE PINE

ELY. oct Is CSpeciaD
bers Of the Republican Party
closed their three-day drive for
votes in White Pine County with
a rally last night at McGill, which
was one of the most enthusiastic
had on their present tour of the
state. The theatre hall was filled
TO overfiowing while others stood
in the theatre foyer In order to
hear the Republican doctrines ex-
pounded by the several speakers.
Sam Platt, Republican nominee
for United States Senator, lauded
the administrative genius of Her
bert Hoover and predicted his
election by one of the greatest
matorities ever given a candidate
for that Office. Hoover has one
Of the greatest reconstructiVe
brains in the world today" he
said.
Reviewing the campaign and
the policies Of the two parties,
Mr.. Platt localized the issues and
pointed out what a continuation
Of the Republican rule meant to
the people Of McGill. Here at
Mc0ill, where the big smelter is
working day and night, seven
days week, you are part Of inc
Of the greatest and most porsper-
Gus copper camps Of the entire
word" he said. Your men are
empoyed at good wages and they
are giving good service You are
living in comfort and your fami-
lies here in McGill are happy and
contented. There must be a rea-
son for all this, and the answer,
my friends, Is that prosperity pre-
walls throughout the country"
This national prosperity is not
accidental. It has come to us
slowly but surely during the past
seven years and has been brought
about chiefly through the high
protective tariff policies Of the
Republican party. Look back over
the history Of this country, urge
you, and you will find that every
time a Democratic administration
has attempted to interfere with
the Republican doctrine of high
protective tariff it was followed
by financial disaster. SO far as
the people of this great copper
camp are concerned, the course,
as I view it, is plain. If you want
a continuation of the present good
times, with its resultant good
wages and satisfactory living con-
ditions it is imperative that you
support Herbert Hoover and the
entire Republican ticket"

gone forth to create the greatest
talking picture plant extant.
Fifteen hundred men, working
in three eight-hour shifts day

midway between Hollywood and
the sea on July 28 Of this year.
Several mammoth stages, sound
proof to the nth degree. have
risen. and a score of other Struc-

general layout of the Movietone
City, have been built. The ground
on which the walled city rests is

VAIL PITTMAN
HECKLES PLATT

ELY, Oct q (SpeciaD Vail
Pittman, brother Of United States
Senator Key Pittman, came of
second best in an attempt TO
heckle Sam Platt, Republican
nominee for United States Sena-
tor, at a Republican rally here
last night.
Mr.. Flatt had just completed a
soaring arraignment Of Senator
Pittman's voting record on pro-
tective tariff measures during the
IS years he has been in the Sem
ate and was calling upon the vot-
ers Of Ely and White Pine Coun-
ty to support Hoover and the
Republican nominees when the
voice Of Vail Pittman, from the
front Of the crowded theatre
building interrupted him.
Mr.. Platt," he said, II have
sat here for nearly an hour and
remained silent while you have
been attacking my brothers sin
cerity and integrity. Now. want
to ask you one thing. Is 1t not
a fact that If the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber Bill of 1922 had been de-
feated, the emergency tariff, for
which my brother voted. would
have remained in efiect?"
Mr.. Plat bristled instantly. he
stepped to the edge Of the plat
form and fixing his gaze directly
at Senator Pittman's brother, re-
piled, "I know that it has not
been pleasant for Brother Vail to
sit here and listen to this expos
ure Of his distinguished brothers
tariff record but felt it my duty
to the Republican Party and the
people of Nevada 70 tell them the
truth about Senator Pittman's re-
cord during the many years he
has been privileged to serve the
people Of this great state. But I
want to say to Brother Vail and
to the good peple Of Ely that
Senator Pittman is not entitled to
the confidence of the people Of
Nevada If he will not come out
in the open before them and tell
them the truth about his vote
on the Fordney- y-McCumber Bill"
Once again the voice Of Vail
Pittman doomed through the
building. But you have not an
swered my question, Mr.. Plat"
he interjected, answer me yes or
no, II it Is not q fact that the
emergency tariff would have re-
manned in effect II the Fordney-
McCumber bill had been defeated"
Instantly the answer came,
ssrTt,a+ % tho cana sorf ~ anstiyo
cation and subterfuge your dis
tinguiShed brother has been en-
ploying throughout this campaign
in q futile effort to make the
voters of Nevada think he Is O
protectionist," responded Mr.. Plstt.
IT want to say to you that the
emergency tariff was just as the
name implies. 1t was hurriedly
and hastily drawn to protect the
country during q reconstruction
crisis. 1t was simply an agricul-
tural relief bill. Even while 1t was
being passed by both branches Of
Congress, Republican leaders were
working on a carefully drawn
tariff bill which history shows was
passed the following year. II the
F'ordney- -McCumber Bill had been
defeated another would have
sprung up in its place. The emer-
gency tariff could not have re-
manned in effect as you know and
your distinguished brother well
knows"
The theatre building rang with
prolonged cheering as the Repubh-
can nominee gave his answer.
Vail Pittman at once subsidized and
remained silent for the remainder
of the meeting.
