DEMOCRACY
TRIUMPHANT
A Great Meeting Greets Governor
Sparks and Democratic Asso
ciates Thursday Eve.
PRINCIPLES THE SOUL OF MAN.

JOHN S. PARKS PRESIDES.
The Democratic state candidates
were in l*as Vegas Thursday evening.
The party Included Governor Sparm>,
George A. Bartlett, D. M. Ryan, James
G. 8weeney and Richard C. Stoddard.
The candidates were met at the de
pot by a large delegation of citizens
who escorted them to the hotels of the
town. A general reception and shak
ing of hands was the lot of these can
didates. The whole town turned out
en masse to greet Nevada's foremost
Governor and his splendid running
mates.
Many were the expressions qf ap
proval that greeted the governor of
his course as executive and many
were the assurances from Republicans
of support of entire ticket.
The Democrats are the popular side.
In the evening there was a muss
meeting. With a beautiful moon in
the evening, and with blazing bonfires
lending additional vlvldlty to the occa
sion and place, there was assembled
an audience so large and enthusiastic
as to make It a record breaking meet
ing of southern Nevada.
Thunders of applause and cheers
greeted the eminent men as they were
introduced in turn. Particularly was
this effective when Governor Sparks
and George Rartlett and James G.
_Sweeney were, introduced
John S. Park was chairman of the
meeting and right well did he perform
his part
As vice presidents there were such
well known Democrats on deck as Dr.
C. M. Rucker, Frank M. Grace, E. J.
Roselle, H. A. Parker, Al James, J. 0.
McIntosh, J. W. Horden, A. N. PaufT.
J. 8. Harris. Fred W. Shannon, Joseph
Laravey, Tom Flynn, Adam Kramer, C.
C Chambaclajn, R. J. Sullivan, W. A.
Smith. Lafayette Holcomb, D. D.
Heckey and Proctor Smith and Robert
8baffer. -
The meeting was a great success. It
was an augur. It represented the Dem
ocratic expression of public opinion
organized into a permanent organiza
tion and which like an electric shock
nothing will be able to resist. Dem
ocratic opinion being a passion of
souls for justice makes it invincible.
Democracy is not the impulse and
response of a day, but an unending
purpose to bring all the people into
their own. The Anger of destiny Is in
Us soul and sb a consequence there Is
a never ending movement forwards
and for better things.
The time Is one of those epochs “In
the histo.y of the human race when
the decayed branches fall from the
tree of humanity and when institu
tions of appression, appreslve because
of having outlived their usefulness,
faH from the tree of life and exhaust
ed sink and leave space for fresh in
stitutions full of sap which renew the
youth and recast the ideas of a people.”
All thia changing and conforming to
up-to-date ideas is democracy. A sub
stitution of the newer and better for
the worn out. These are the Demo
cratic ideas of today. It does not
mean the change of our policy of gov
ernment, but the application of new
means and new measures so that our
economic relationship may be more
equitable and the blessings of nature
more Justly applied under that newer
order when the power of production is
Increased manifold through the appli
cation of machinery and science to
supply the advancing needs of man
kind. It is this conforming of democ
racy to the present and coming condi
tions that creates such fervor and en
thusiasm for a Bryan and a Kearst
who enforce such ideas. Such is the
doctrine of progression, as against
money beg domination with its brutal
aad. barbarous tendencies, that the
democratic tribunes of the state pre
sided on Thursday evening. It was
for this that the people applauded aad
cheered and pledged their support to
the state and county democracy. A
synopsis of speeches will be published
next week.
Wednesday evening the Republi
cans had a maas meeting which was
well attended and addressed by the
following well known gentlemen. J. F.
Mitchell, candidate for Governor; G.
T. Mills, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor; Oscar J. Smith for congress;
W. G. Douglass and E. R. Dodge and
E. Cutts. The meeting had neither
the snap or spirit of the Democrats.
--o
THE REASON IS PLAIN.
The question has been asked why
should so much stress be laid on the
success of the republican candidate,
an excellent gentleman by the way.
for county treasurer.
In a nutshell; It Is the control of
the county funds. These funds will
aggregate altoui $60,000 for the next
term. This fund in the control of a
shrewd, cunning, selfish man could be
made a powerful lever, as it used to be
done by the Quay machine, of Penn
sylvania to support a machine and for
speculattvo purposes by which to en
rich the boss and his confidential con
trol, Men who have the keenness to
aim for such an end usually take a
chance with public funds to lend them
out on interest and when exigencies
require it. juggle them into the stock,
market, either as bulls or bears, and
make fortunes thereby.
This is no doubt the milk in the
cocoanut that;,feeds the ambition of
the republican machine. "Get a hold
of the public funds, deposit them in
an institution that we control,” and
many a hard earned dollars extorted
from a people by taxation has gone
“whither the woodbine twlueth”—up
in the air. through such misapplica
tion of the ?weat and blood contrlbut
**rj for public purposes by h people.
Truo. some such malefactors have
either gone to the penitentiary and
others have committed suicide, but
(he fellows that ever got the punish
ment or death tnvariably have been
the tools of the crafty boss who pulled
the string, for the boss is ever so
cunning, that the dupo gets the dose
and the boss so shapps as to be im
mune from the crime he extorts from
the victim, who has lost his all and
become either an outcast or an addi
tional mound in the graveyard
How refreshing in the face of this
juggling this declaration culled from
the democratic county platform air
pears, “We are unalterably opposed to
the juggling of state and county funds
for the benefit of individuals; if there
is to be any souice of gain by the de
posit of such funds with any banking
institution we demand that the people
receive such benefit."
There you have It. Whom will you
voter® elect. Bd W. Clark, the demo
cratic nominee, who Is pledged to the
democratic declaration, or the candi
date of the republican party estimable
gentleman though he may be. Is yet
the proxy result of Boss McKamee.
. o
HON. FRANK MANUEL SAV8!
Two weeks ago The Times said:
"The protests against the machine
boss methods and the machine can
didates of Boss McNamee are rising
Into an overwhelming chorus of de
nunciation and revenge."
Tbe reverge part has given away to
calmer thought of those who were out
raged and by a process of later vivi
section of the misdeeds and the type
written proxy control have come to
the conclusion that the only thing to
apply for a remedy Is to vote the dem
ocratic ticket.
For ability and competent aggres
siveness within the former republican
lines there were none who could
match ex-Senator Frank Manuel, who
'n cor Junction with Dr. Murray of
Catlente was the leader of the man
hot<d republican delegates in the late
rroxy controlled convention by grace
of McNamee.
Manuel is eschewing the McNamee
ticket He states that on state ticket
he Is silent, bat on the county ticket
•T will vote the whole democratic
ticket with the exception of two.”
Yum! what a dark dismal night all
these things presage for the pocket
edition candidates of the McNamee
machine.
How odious boss methods are! Will
Stewart Dr. Murray, Joe Taylor.
Frank Manuel and many more like
them battling for good honest rule.

DOWN WITH BOSS PROXIES.
The democratic state campaign Is
on in earnest. Governor Sparks and
hls excellent conferees the next con
gressman. Oeorge A. Bartlett. Justice
Sweeney, Treasurer Ryan. Comptrol
ler Raftice and Attorney General R.
C. Stoddard are swinging the circle
of Nevada, meeting people and talking
sound democracy. Wherever these
statesmen and spell binders have been
they have found the Democratic spir
it triumphant and the voters In such
accord as to promise the greatest Dem
^ocratic victory that has ever been
[ manifested in this state The excel
: lence of the candidates and the splen
| did principles advocated is uniting the
farmer, the miner, the mine owner,
I the railway employee in one grand,
harmonious whole to effect the suc
cess of men and principles and al
ready preparing for those jubilee meet
ings that will send forth the hosannas
in praise that government of by and
for the people Is to endure as against
I Republican chicanery to make more
I effective government of by and for the
I
| money nags.
This is cheering as compared with
j the morlbound load of the Reptibll
I cans and that discussion and disinte
gration bo manifest by the withdrawal
of Cutts and acutely Illustrated In Lin
coln county. The Democrats working
together, the Republicans at one an
other's throat on account of the mis
deeds of the masters, only one result,
-!tr»hw Bparks with a full complement
of Democratic ooadutors to conduct
state affairs for four years more and
George A. Bartlett to serve the Ne
vada constituency in congress until
he Is summoned hjgher up.
What Is true of the state Is more
vividly true of Lincoln county. Here
is chaos in the Republican camp. The
Democrats have a Bolid front and
cheerily energetic in behalf of the en
tire ticket. It Is a light and airy feel
ing that pervades them to make the
battle of the ballots win and win the
Democratic ballots will. In their lex- j
icon there is no such a wor i s.-i fall.
Chairman Denton of the Democratic
county committee reports. Iha* never
in the history of the party of that
county was there such a tendency and
fervor for the old political landmark
of nation, state and county as there
is now, and as a number of communi
cations subjoined and culled from
many others portray.
Searchlight. October lit, 1906.
J. A. Denton. Chairman Democratic j
County Committee:
Dear Sir: We have the Repubti-1
cans on the run here. They are fight
ing amongst themselves and bow they ;
do plunge the knife Into one another. ;
it ta war to the knife and knife to
the hilt" amongst them.
The Democrats are as one man pull
ing true, full of enthusiasm for their i
splendid candidates from top to bot
tom. and what is more, are gaining
recruits daily from the opposition
such as are disgusted by the Republi
can dog and cat exhibit.
All is well here and the end will be
well and such la the word that Search
light Democracy sends to many Dem
ocrats throughout the country.
From De Lamar comes the word:
• • • Even though this is Mc
Namee’s town, where he and his
ring candidates should be the strong
est. yet the fact Is that the honest Re
publicans are so disgusted that the
Democrats will gain largely by the
men who place decent political meth
ods above boss Indecency.
Count upon De Lamar g*vta£ a Dem
ocratic majority for the ticket Every
one of our voters are In line palling
true for the cause and have so heart
burnings, on account of the misdeeds
of any boss. George BoodovUch, the
popular Ideal Democrat, means many
votes for os.
it V ~
Ptoche sends word. » -
Never waa the Democratic party la
better fighting trim or more enthu
siastic than what they are In this cam
paign. with them It Is an altogether ac
tion for the whole ticket. The Re
publicans are distressed, worried and
down cast and with a llstlessness that
plainly shows "What's the use,” have
practically given up the hope that
lays the unction to the soul and con
sequently Instead of being a militant
Republican force have defeat marked
all over them. Rut then there are
only a few Republicans here and
i their heart aches will be overcome
when the glad tidings will over
take them that Democrats with good
ecffiient pnrposes will administer coun
ity affairs from Moche for two years
m >re."
Tne old, old hsven of prosperity
and gtxtd people, Panaca. tells Its tale
through a shrewd observer In these
words: "Panaca will go DenutcraMc
|g«M>d and strong this time. There is
i no discord. We know pretty near ev
ery one of the Democratic nominees
and we know them to be good men
clear through and as our people le
aped the good, they will vote accord
ingly.
f "The Republicans are crestfallen.
They have no spirit, because they
know of the doing of Me and his
proxies anti they at least like a fair
deni for their fellow Republicans This
they know was not given by the proxy
crntrol at I-as Vegas. This made
many stav^at home, amongst them on
election day. and others will vote with
the Democrat’s,'so all In all Panaca
wiM have a stronger Democratic year
thl time than ever before.”
Front the Muddy Valley, the farmers
paradise, comes nothing but praise
One writer states: "That the Demo
cratic advocacy of improvement in t.ie
experimental station will give our
party many votes It would not have
otherwise got. and then there is Levi
S.' pints', so well and favorably known
*h roughout the valley as to give us
mother source of strength. Every
1 'ng works to the end of giving the
Democrats a greater vote this time
: ban at any time previous." From
Overton, from St. Thomas ami from
riold Unite, yea, wherever the spirit
■f fairness prevails, come these san

and Republicans alike as to the extra

inimoun vote for the Democratic coun
ty ticket and in turn a strong support
from many heretofore Republican* for
hat I'terllng Democrat, John Sparks,
ind (ieorge Il&rtlett, the whole ticket

County. It is a fair estimate that I
three-fourths of the Republicans will |

From Hiko the old county seat, a
Democrat sends word of the strength
of the party. Republicans have heard
of the misdeeds of the Las Vegas con
vention and conseauentiy will either
not vote, at all or vote the Democratic
icket.
And Caltente duplicate Las Vegan.
More Democrats then ever there.
From Good Springs an enthusiastic

the Republicans more than the Demo
crats who now declare political death
to such political tyranny. The Demo
rats have Justice for their cause. The
Republicans precent only damnation
for thei; ticket. It is not victory nor
fortune for the machine with these
Republicans, but the rooting out of
crime through the ballot that they
may have decent politics. The Repub
lican inspiration is. such things must

From Nelson and El Dorado It Is
the same. The miners there know
that Spnrks and Sweeney and Bartlett
and Syphtis and Williams and Vaughn
and their friends and in days gone by
gave them the mine inspector law, the
eight hour law. and they know that
the Democratic state aird county plat
form assures no discriminating and
tower fieight rates for their employers
and that this in town means more
miners employed at good wages, a bet
ter standard of living and more of the
comforts of life all around. No won
der a miner sends words. “We are all
with your ticket and miner-llke we
will make a straight hole by voting
