eer —=, Nevada City Nugget 205 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada Uity». eee ee ee ? H.’ M. LEETE ~ Editeur * Published Semi-Weekly, Monday ata itaisusy -at Nevada City, California, and ‘@niersd as ms matter of the secoiud class in the post Ifii + = a: Nevada City under ‘Act of Couezress, March 3, . 1879. ‘ . 7 SUBSCRIPTION RATES on ——S One year (In Advance) ~..-+---.-----------+----+->$3.00 eR nen eee : : THE ONLY ISSUE (The San Francisco News) . As we listened to President Roosevelt's fireside chat of Monday evening we were impressed by the similarity of attitude and purpose metween it and Atty. Gen. Ear] Warren s opening statement at The News-KYA forum Sunday evening. In almost every word the president emphasized the need for completé preoccupation of the people of America with the war. Nothing else matters. Nothi¢ that tends to disunite. the people can be tolerated. Politics is adjourned. Partisanship has no place in the picture. America must act, must prepare, must fight as one great united force against the enemy on every front. Mr. Warren has couched his campaign for governor on ‘that same high plane. Although he is a Republican, he has pledged to support President Roosevelt in every phase of the nation’s war effort. He is asking the people of California to regard the ‘governorship in this sreat emergency as strictly . a nonpartisan office and his candidacy as an anpeal to all the people of the state, regardless of party affiliations. The News believes Mr. Warren is entirely sincere in this . attitude and that Governor Olson does him an injustice by . accusing him of political trickery in his stand. ' Mr. Warren’s hope and his promise is to put California, . with all its rich resources, into the war fully. To our shame . and our regret this has not been done to date by the Olson ad-. ministration. As the spearhead of the . nation in the Pacific war theatre California should have been far out in front from . the very first. Instead of putting the state in that position Gov! ernor Olson fell into a partisan row with the legislature over the State Guard and has since refused to call a special session to repair the damage that was done then. We believe the governor must give a more satisfactory answer than he has to date for his failure to assert his leadership. The state’s civilian defense is in deplorable shape largely because he has refused to convene a special session to pass egislation to make it more effective. For almost a year our country has been at war. For two years previously we were preparing for war. At no time in that period has Governor Olson risen adequately to the demands of leadership such a crisis imposed upon the chief executive of the state. In this campaign we must judge him upon his record. it does not reveal him as a great and-inspiring leader of all the people. Mr. Warren, on the other hand, has, by the high, patriotic and nonpartisan character of his campaign. indicated the quality of leadership we may expect from him. He has hitched his wagon to the star of victory in the war, regardless of politics, regardless of petty factionalism, regardless of the fortunes of the Republican or any other party. We believe the record-breaking vote he received from both parties in the primary election was proof that he is expressing the ideals, the convictions and the hopes of all the people of California. And it is upon this basis we believe he is entitled to be elected as the wartime governor of California. NAVY CAN USE MINE ENGINEERS The Navy is making an urgent plea for civil, architectural and sanitary engineers with actual experience in construction to serve as commissioned officers in the Naval Reserve. The recent government closure order, affecting the gold mining industry of the western states,-has left many competent construction engineers without jobs, at least temporarily. The Navy is asking those men to investigate the possibil. ities offered in its service. Qualified engineers with good backgrounds of experience will be given ranks up to Lieutenant Commander and they will be in vital positions engaged in new construction throughout the far-flung network of the Navy's new shore installations. Men with actual experience in construction of dams, Civilians face many an unpleasant We face them that our sons may iNo. one likes the rubber ration, Nor. thezration of meat for all our NEWS IN RHYME .

In some political quarter's, despite warnings against over-confidence from the Warren headquarters, estimates of Warren’s majority range:as high as 750,000, and there is a noticeable lack of Olson money in the Hitler’s knife Then forget-all luxurious pleas. A little thing given up today— Some gas or a rubber tire. May deal a blow at Hitler’s sway; Help set his forts afire. .

So—at home, we’ll do our best— Our discomfort’s very slight, Our great armed forces will do the rest, To win this all-out fight. DIVORCE WAYNE—In Nevada City, October 21, 1942, Lilly B. ‘Wayne against Hoval C. Wayne; suit filed; ground, extreme cruelty. The plaintiff asks $100 per month for the support of herself and three children. Frank Finnegan of Nevada City is the at‘orney representing Mrs. Wayne. Mrs. Annie Dolan and Mrs. Ollie Sullen of San Francisco motored to Nevada City Sunday evening to be present Monday for opening of session of court when the will of the late J. F.Dolan was brought up for administering. ¢ ‘. Justice Frederick W. ibetting marts. Assemblyman Houser, his campaign was interrupted by the . death of his father, Supreme Court . Houser, has . been making steady headway against . Lieutenant Governor Ellis E. Patterison since the primary, and a landvictory over Olson imight well have the efect of clinching victory for Houser as well. Wallace Ware, while conceded to have a tougher fight than Houser, is rated as one of the most-effective campaigners in California and has been pouring it on’ his opponent. Senator Robert W. Kenny, during the final stage of the Attorne Generalship battle. Kenny is still the favorite in the betting, but Ware can’t be counted out at this point. In this instance, too, a Warren landslide might be the deternfining factor. The governorship race is also exalthough ‘legaslative contests throughout the state. In Mereed and Madera counties, for example, where former Lieut. Gov. George J. Hatfield is running for the senate on a pledge to support Warren’s war and civilian defense program, he is opposed by Elmer B. Maze, an Olson partisan. Hatfield due to his own popularity in the district, where he is engaged in farming, and due to the fact that Merced ‘and Madera counties went overwhelmingly for Warren at the primary, is figured to win this fight. Likewise, Senator Arthur H. Breed Jr., of Oakland, who is in a hot race with Patrick W. McDonough for the Alameda County senatorial seat, will undoubtedly benefit if there is a Warren landslide. Somewhat the same situation exists in Santa Clara County, where Byrl R. Salsman is expected to win out in his senatorial fight with M. G. DelMutolo. The only other contest for a state senate bridges, water and sewage disposal systems, storehouses, cantonments. quay walls or various other installations connected with establishment of naval bases, are asked to apply for this «service. Design engineers and architects are not needed by the _ Navy at the present time. Those with engineering degrees who have a construction _____..background and want to serve their country in the uniform of a naval officer are asked to come to the Office of Naval Officer Procurement, 703 Market Street, San Francisco, or to write to that address for information. _ ELEMENTARY PTA NAMES PERSONNEL OF COMMITTEES (Mrs. L.
