the STATE TICKET.

Beginning with the Presidential
Electors on the State Ticket we
have the names of John H. Dennis,
Richard Kirman and John Weber.
They are representative men of
the Democracy of Nevada; men
who are true to the cause of bimet-
allism and who will take the great
est pleasure in casting the Nelector-
al vote of the battle born State for
William Jennings Bryan for Presi-
dent. 1t goes without saying that
they will be elected.
The nominee for Congressman,
F. G. Newlands needs very little
recommendation at our hands. He
is we'll known to the people of this
community and this county, and in
his previous campaigns, as in this
one, has been warmly greeted by
the silver people. The life and
acts of a Congressman as well as
other public servants are public
property for discussion. Mr.. New
lands has served the people of this
State for eight years in this capac-
ity and we believe has made as
good a record as any man who
came before him in this Office He
has been a resident of the State
for ten or eleven years and knows
that Nevada's future depends upon
mining and irrigation. That he has
done, and will do, all in his power
to inaugerate and foster these prop
ositions, we fully believe. He is a
firm supporter of w. ]. Bryan for
President, and is laboring for his
election as much as he is to be re-
elected himself. He has been a
liberal contributor to charity and
business interests in Nevada, and
since making this State his home
has been Nevadan in every sense
of the word. That he may be re-
elected is the desire of every true
silver man.
In A. L. Fitzgerald, the nominee
for Supreme Judge, the people
have particularly strong candi-
date. Mr.. Fitzgerald is gentle
man who is respected by every
member of the bar in this State.
He is an able lawyer, clean and
conscientious in all his dealings,
and as a Judge on the Supreme
bench would be utterly out of
reach of any corporation or indi-
vidual. 1t has been said that every
man has his price, but we do not
believe that the gold of the Klon-
dixie or the friendship of any man
would influence A. L. Fitzgerald
in doing his duty in as severe a
test case as can be put before him.
He is the kind of a man to have
on the Supreme bench.
]. N, Evans is the nominee for
long term Regent of the University.
He is resident of Washoe County,
and we know little about him ex-
cept that he has filled the position
in an honorable manner heretofore.
That is probably saying enough.
w, w. Booher, the nominee for
short term Regent, is the propri-
etor of newspaper, the Elko In
dependent, and that ought to damn
him for all political preferment,
but it won't, perhaps, because he
is a pretty decent sort of a fellow
He used to teach school in this
county, and we know he has lots
of friends here. He is. a straight
out Democrat, and therefore sill
yer man of the first water, His
experience as an educator will
come in good play should he be
elected as Regent. and that is a
foregone conclusion.
Now, the above is a brief de-
scription Of the men who have
been placed before the people by
the silver advocates in Nevada
We do not say that they are any
better than other candidates for
the cop,o positions h,,t we dr
