"Citizens of Nevada, on one side
we find F. G. Newlands for Senator, a
gentleman who has never betrayed the
confidence Of the people Of Nevada
and has never been a political traitor.
On the other side we find two political
traitors, two political trimmers, two
men who have never been any use to
the people Of this State at Washington
and never will be-"
There is an old saying that those
who are in glass houses, should never
throw stones" The Newlands organs
should not throw stones even If they
do get five dollars per column a throw,
for the stones may be thrown back and
the goose that lays the golden egg
get killed. The foregoing extract,
being a fair sample of Newlands 'ar-
gument," let US see how it is supported
in fact. Newlands came from Califor-
mia, where he had always been a Dem
ocrat, to Nevada. and as the Republi-
can party was in power in this State.
ne promptly became a Republican and
sought the congressional nomination
from that party almost before he had
acquired a legal residence. When the
Silver party had gained such Roadway
that it was certain to carry the State
he went into 1t. and when 1t begun to
90 to pieces he became a fuslonist and
finally has again tecome a Democrat,
but. Judging from past history, he will
probably that he is a Repub-
lican after the next election, when the
party of progress again returns to power
in this State.
Now what Newlands done during the
ten years he has represented Nevada1
Not one single act Of local public inter-
est can be credited to him. The most
that can be said Of him is that his
name was associated with the Hawaii
an Resolution, and that he has intro
duced. (not passed. an irrigation bill.
AS to the Hawiian Resolution, that
subject has been before Congress for a
number Of years. The time was ripe
for its passage. Newlands was not a
member Of either Of the two great
parties, and the friends Of the measure
desired to avoid making 1t a party
matter and SO they got Newlands to
offer it. AS to the Newlands irrigation
bill, latest reports convey the informa-
ton that the committee Of Western
representatives who have the matter In
charge, have adopted but few Of the
provisions Of Newlands bill. 1t Is no
trick to introduce a bill, and If you
have the money 10 pay for 1t you can
give big dinners and hire a lot Of cheap
advertising about it. The Republican
party has taken up the question Of ir-
rigation and If anything is done with 1t,
it will be done as a Republican meas
ure, whether Mr.. Newlands supports II
or not.
So much for Newlands. how about
Jones and Stewart These last named
gentlemen have been identified with
the history Of Nevada from its pioneer
days. They did not come to Nevada
for office. They have been life long
and CONSTANT Republicans except dur
ing the time Of the break in the party
over the money question, and when
that question became settled, they re-
turned to the party with which they
had always acted or every question. II
they are now unpopular in this State
Il is because they have stood in the
way Of Newlands ambition, and he has
sought to remove them by hireing the
press Of the State to malisn them
Almost all that has been accomplished
for this State. has been through theil
