Congressman Newlands is at Reno on
his biennial visit to Nevada, and 10
making desperate effort to convince
the people of this State that they owe
him the United States Senstorship.
Now, Mr.. Nswlands has perfect right
to aspire to seat In the United States
Senate from Nevada. or any other
State. It 10 . laudable ambition, and,
were he honest In his presentation Of
his claims, he would. no doubt, be
treated with due courtesy by all par.
ties. But he has chosen to attempt to
purchase reputation to which he is
not entitled, and ss the campaign pro-
crosses he will find that the money he
has invested In fiye-dollar- a-column
puffs In Nevada has been worse than
thrown away.
Eevads 10 . mineral State. Has Mr..
Newlsnds, during his ten years. service
In Congress, ever introduced measure
that would further the mining indus.
try OF the State? Has he done any.
thing whatsoever to sttrsct the atten.
zion OF outside capital to our mineral
resources? The NEWS 10 ready and
willing to give Mr.. Newlands credit for
everything he has done; but II II Is
proven that he Is arrsyed in borrowed
plumsge; that he is taking to himself
credit that rightly belongs to others.
and ths. his alleged interview with the
President on the irrigation measure
never took place. should he not be
held In contempt by sll intelligent men?
Well, the facts will be forthcoming and
the readers of the NEWS shall judge
for themselves.
/ The editor of the Reno Gazette (feep.)
appears 70 be laboring under the delu.
sion that there are number OF ''fac-
tionai fights" among the Republicans
OF the State and that there are "iew
members" OF the party who 60 on the
"rule or ruin principle II they are not
allowed to manipulate the steam" Bro.
Bragg is evidently borrowing trouble.
He appears to forget that Republi-
can State Convention 10 30 be held At
Reno on September II, the duty Of
which will bc to nominate Q ticket and
prepare platform that win DO brosd
enough and comprehensive enough to
satisfy not only the candidates, but also
every voter who is now or ever has been
. Republican. That convention will
not be . proxy" gathering, but will
be composed of representative citizens
OF every county in the State, and the
NEWS 10 satisfied that the men who will
assemble there at that time will be In
telligent enough to perform their du.
ties with Q view singly to the success Of
the party at the polls on the fourth Of
November. Let there be no exhibition
OF petty spite on the part Of any Re.
publican, now or later In the campaign,
but after the convention has met and
named the candidates let us all be In .
position to give the ticket our iloyal
aunnort.
