CARSON CITT, Nev.. Cct- 5. (Spe
cial.) Argument on the suit brought
by the Examiner Publishln..- Company
to enjoin the State Council of Defense
in Nevada and arious County Councils
of Desense from interfering in any way
with the circulation of Hearst publi
cations in Nevada, occupied yesterday
and today before Federal Judge E. S.
Farrlngton.
Arguments were opened by Frederick
C. Wilson in behalf of The Examiner.
Wilson conducted similar proceedings
in behalf of the Hearst publications In
New Mexico. The rest of the day was
taken up by Attorney-General George
Thatcher and Sam Piatt.
In the complaint Hearst states that
the action of the State Council of De
fense amounts to a boycott and is In
violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law and is a violation of the constitu
tional guarantee of free speech.
Scores of Extracts Filed.
The affidavit filed by H. A. Lemroon,
director of the State Council of Defense
contains the material on which the de
denfants base tneir case. It contains
scores of extracts xrom Hearst's publi
cations, which, it is alleged, are dis
loyal in tone ana calculated to arouse
in the United States opposition to the
war, sow seeds of discontent with the
methods employed by the Government,
arouse opposition to the extension of the
draft, all designed to bring aid and
comfort to the German government.
An extract from Lemmon's affidavit
sufficiently presents the charges
against the Hearst publications. It
reads:
since the war the Hearst papers
have consistently kept barely within
the various acts passed for the supres
sion of sedition, disloyalty and treason
changing the charactc - of their ex
pressions as .r.ew and stronger legisla
tion is enacted, protesting by direc
words and with extravagant fervor
their patriotism, while on the othe
hand they have, by editorial commen
and editorial display, endeavored to
undermine the ideals and purposes for
which the war is being carried on to
which the war is being carried on and
to harass and hinder those prepara
tions and enterprises so necebsary to
the success of the United States and
her allies.
"That the Hearst newspapers have,
since the united States hun been at
war with Germany, attacked the wa
and our motives for entering into it
created a terrorism, magnified the hor
rors of war and the strength of th
German arms; consistently attacked on
all occasions our ally, England:
tacked all our allies, directly or by
Innuendo: demanded separate peace on
behalf of the United States: urged im
mediate peace and supported German
peace drives; pictured the Nation as
divided; opposed the extension of th
selective'draft; attacked the Red Cross
and the Y. M. C. A.; demanded peace
on the basis of the status guo ante; de
manded that we keep our money, food
and men at home; endeavored to divert
National attention toward Mexico an
Japan on a plea of danger from those
quarters; opposed an adequate ship
building programme; opposed the seiz
ure of the Dutch vessels and opposed
the blockade of neutral countries.
War With Mexico Demanded.
"Before the entrance of the United
States into the war the Hearst papers
demanded war with Mexico; conducted
a propaganda against Japan; justified
the sinking of the Lusitania; were
recognized as an auxiliary of vast in
fluence and benefit to Germany by Ger
man newspapers: were the recipients
of an eulogy from Bolo Pasha and
were spoken of by the German Kaiser
in terms of gratitude as being an edi
tor of fair newspapers; that the Hearst
papers have long since been placed
under the ban by England, France,
Canada and Italy and were denied for
a long period of time by these nations
the use of their cables b-cause of their
pro-German attitude."
The affidavit charges that the policy
of the Hearst papers was not casual or
incidental, but deliberate and inten
tional; the allies ki.aw and the United
States knew that early in the year 1918
wotfld come a tremendous offensive by
