i ra.*&iMy short time ago. attracted
eod attention. He is reeog
n one of the most entertaining
« in the state, if not in the
western country. In fact, his whltl
citm is ss enjoyable as many who are
highly Paid to appear on the stages
of variety theatre# throughout the
country and lo seldom tolls to draw
a large audience.
The audiences attracted oy Mr. ill.
ler plavtng the roll or a booster tor the
republican party were not so large,
however, and while the meetings whieh
he address’d in Kly and McGill were
fairly well attended, they were by no
means as largo ns those usually at
traded when a right good rally Is
staged by either of the political par
ties. It was understood that Mr. Miller
would devote his attention chiefly to
« discussion of the League 01' Nations,
and on tills many were unslous lo itenr
him Irrespective of their political rf
filatons and this fact attracted demo
crat* In large number* to hear him.
While his speeches were entertaining
ns usual many were dlsapponted a*
not h-arng a logical argument either
for or against the League of Nations.
In his address Mr. Miller laid great
stress upon Amirlcan patriotism and
the winning of the great world war.
Naturally this was accepted like *h >
waving ft the great American flag and
was pleasing to all. The speaker urged
his listeners to vote the entire repub
lican »icktf in order to doieat the
1-eague ot Nations and thereby solemn
ly protect for themselves the liberty
and freedom for which their fore
fathers fought, but he failed to show
how that liberty and freedom might
bo lost, and in fact it will take an
orator of far greater ability than Mr.
Miller tc convince the American peo
ple that that liberty and freedom or
American sovereignty will ever he. sur
rendered. Leugno of Nations or no
League of Nations. Mr. ,-IiIler lauded
Henry Cabot Lodge and when oen sang
his praises in the sumo able fashion
that he has heretofore pictured cap
italists and such men as Senator Lodge
as the greatest evils in the wor'.d many
who have heard him on prior occa
sions were doubly amused, ole pic
tured all those in th> front ranks of
the republican pnrty as now oeing the
hope of all mankind but when h# re
ferred to a democrat he did not even
feel that he should be addressed ns
mister and when i.e referred to Presi

world and who till, even those who

he referred to lilm as "Woody."
After the address In Hijo hall Mr.
Miller visited McGill Tuesday night
and was In the middle of the recitation
delivered .Monday night In Ely when
spice wa» added to the later meeting
by Attorney Anthony Jurlch arising in
the audience and saying, ,-Mr. Miller,
wll you permit me to a*k you a ques

now. Atter I get through you can talk
all night If you want to."
“Tfcen why don't you tell the truth/
asked Mr. Jurlch. and the only reply
from the etage was. “Just leave me

roar. It was some time before the
speaker could continue. Many wero
on their fert and someone said “Sit

meant—whether the speaker ->r some

standi ag.
••We arc with yon. Tony, .1 nd if you

After the r.udlence had again become
composed the ajjvilt. r nasd: "If the

short but spirited affair ipoti the
speaker was most noticeable.
Wednesday an open-air .rumting w;m
scheduled for Ruth nt 3.30 o'clock in
the afternoon. -Mi Miller was accom
panied to the mine city, m ho was on
his other visits through the district by
rone of the repnblcan candidates, but
at Ruth the meeting was not held a‘
fhe scheduled time owing to the fact
that not mroe than mx people could
be Unml together at on-- time. For
1 this reason Mr. Mtl’cr had to postpone
his recitation until about ■'•.SO and then
be content with but few listeners.
Wh'-n referring to the republican
candidates Tor the senate and house o.*
representatives the speaker lid not
tell of their achievement.!, nor did he
give the slightest reason for voting
out of dice the present demcratic rep
resentatlvt s except that the or.'y way
voters should cast tlicir ballot was
•‘straight.'' and thereby not tie the
hands of ths republican president who
lie said was sun to be elected.
Following tlic Rutii nts-ting Mr. Ju
ricli said that inasmuch as Mr. Ml.ler
would not permit ft uuestlon to he
asked hint with a view to giving the
people both sides, he would publicly
challenge Mr. Miller to debate the
question at any time prior to election
day and would agree t* pay all ex
peases of the debate In the event that
Mr. Miller would consent. The chal
lenge was subsequently Issued but Mr.
Miller declined, giving as his reason
that his present engagements demand
cd his entire lime and attention.

Aiv. John T. Thorp*, represent* Uv*
of the International Association of Ma*
chlnlste and th« railway employes d«
partemnt of American Federation of
Labor, arrivod In Ely yesterday morn
ing. Hie vlelt In this district Is In the
Interest of the nonpartisan campaign
being conducted by the federation.
Ur. Thorpe spoke at Ruth during the
noon hour yesterday at East Ely la
the afternoon and at cMGUl last night.
He said thath e found laboring men
in general showing a keen Interest in
the campaign nnd bolleves that their
chief interest is In the election
throughout the country of United
States senators and congressmen who
have been favorable to their cause.
When asked as to the situation Ir Ne
vada. be said:
Senator Henderson must bo re-elect
ed by the working people of the state
of Nevada. The working peop!. <•(
this count> have b» • n aroused nt this
election as never before and It Is pro- |
dieted that In addition to re-electing
the former friends of labor, that they
will also elect from fifty to one hun
dred new representatives who will
champion the cause of labor.
At present" the working class liav.
I*-sg representation In the senate and
congress than ever before In the his
tory Of the United States, and this
was most keenly realised when the
notorious Esch-Cummlngs lull was
presented and it waso nly due to the
persistent effort of organised labor
that the bill was modified. When you
realize that In that hill was contained
a clause that it would be a tnl*d« -
nieanor for two or more men to qu't
their Jobs at the samet Imr. punishable
by imprisonment. That the effect of
such a law would place a club lr the
hands of railroad owners that they
could if they so desired make slaves
of the workers.
"It was then and there decided that
the labor moveraen* should (concen
trate in the coming election to reward
their friends and defeat tlieir enemies,
which is being done sucessfully.
"Labor's slogan. ‘Stand faithfully by
our friends and elect them* Imposes
the duty to reward faithful service.
“We find that while Senator Hender
son has only been In the senate a short
time he haa voted right and has been
on the side of labor. Under dale of
September 1. 1918. the legislative com
mittees of the four railway brother
hoods made the following report of
his record: That he voted right on the
norland amendment: also on the con
scription bill, which was Intended to
take away from the workingman his
right to stilke: and Senator Hender
son fought hard against taking away
that fight and waa successful In hav
ing the Thomas amendment stricken
from the bill. IIo wav also against re
taining the Cannon amendment, which
would also have prohibited tho right
to strike, and assisted in eliminating
that amendment front the bill.
• The authors of the Esch-Cummlng
bill are to be defeated. Mr. Eseh, con
gressman from Wisconsin, has already
been defeated In the primaries and we
expect to be able, to defeat Senator
Cummings of lowu at the general elec
tion
••The campaign committee of the
American Federation of Labor and the
sixteen railroad labor organisation* Is
ashing the people of Nevada W eland
by them by electing Senator Hender
son. who has a 100 per ccpt record of
voting for all labor measures which
came up during bio term of office. We
as workers cannot afford to disregard
our former frleads of labor for any
new prospect*, wh* at election time
make us a lot of promise* but give os
assurance that they will be kept

THE CREAM OF THE ILLIPAH OIL FIELDS
Illipah Petroleum Company of Nevada
A LI Ml TED AMOUNT of Treasury Stock is being offered for sale at 10 Cents per
share. Get in on the ground floor before oil is encountered in commercial quan
tities. From present indications it is only a matter of depth when the highest grade
oil will be secured, and then the larger owners of this stock will be placed in the million
aire class. Will you take advantage of this grand opportunity and feather your nest
while there is yet a chance? Tomorrow will be too late. Do it today.
This Stock Will Go Up As the
Drill Goes Down
OUR WELL is now cased with 10-inch casing to a
depth of 401 feet and we are persistently drilling
every day. We have oil seepage and a steady
flow of hydro-carbon gas that nothing but oil lands can
produce. When we bring in
this big well can you afford
to be caught without a block
of the stock? Our oil-land
holdings now comprise a to
tal of 2,560 acres in the
proven lllipah Basin.
On Sunday, October 17,
1920, at 1 p. m., at a depth
of 451 feet oil was encoun
tered in sufficient quanti
ty to fill a quart bottle with
crude oil from a single bail
ing, thus proving conclusively
that a large bed of oil will
be uncovered when the prop
er depth is reached.
