The Record. (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1902-1904, 1902-10-17

Office in the present ca mpaign con-
tains no more distinguished name
than Edward S. Harrington, of Elko,
candidate for Congress. He came to
this State from California while yet a
lad. He came determined to cast his
lot for all time with the sturdy people
of Nevada and to make his way among
them. No capital was his save labor,
strength of arm and willingness to
work. He believed that labor was best
rewarded where freest and most enlight
ened. Among the miners of our sage
clad hills he saw that this condition
existed in its highest form, and he be-
came one of them. He applied his
spare moments to books, and his per-
severence won him the position of
schoolmaster at Empire, in Ormsby
county, then a hustling and busy
camp. He also taught at Silver city
His strong character and broad mind
pushed him to the fore; and when he
attained the Presidency of our State
university, none rejoiced more than his
mining chums and friends of the early
days. His administration of the Uni
versity affairs was marked with the
signal success that sterling ability COM
pels. During all these years Mr.. Far
rington had his eyes fixed on the goal
of his ambition the, legal profession.
In December 1856, he was admitted to
the bar, and by his honesty, hard
study and untiring energy, has won a
foremost place in his calling. Two
years ago he was selected to make the
run for Congress against F. g. New
lands, and gave him the hardest tussle
he ever had, and this year Mr.. FIRING
ton will win out against Mr.. Van Duz-
er, his opponent, by a rousing major
ity, owing to changed political condit-
ions and to Mr. Farrington's unbounded
popularity. Aside from his unques-
ed ability.
Mr.. Harrington is a man of the peo-
pie, sprung from the loins of labor.
His loyalty to the workingmen has
been unwavering. His heart and its
broad sympathy are with those who
are doing the work of the farm, of the
mine, of the shop, and of the office, for
through experience he knows of their
trials and difficulties as well as their
honest pleasures. Is it to be wondered
at that across this broad State of ours
he is loved by the plain, everyday peo-
pie, when we stop to think that it was
as one of them that his arm, injured to
labor In the mine, gained its strength,
and his mind, trained in the country
school-room, developed its power? In
every great victory achieverd by the
American people he knows full well
that the plain people were at the back
of it, and he glories in attributing
credit due to them. Having been one
( them, the people will make no mis-
axe in pinning their faith to him.
Again, Mr.. Harrington has lived his
ife in our midst. Navada's deserts
and plains, her hills and svalesl are his
own. He knows no other. His in
terests are all here. Nevada is his
home. Her resources as well as her
needs are known to him as to but few.
If elected to Congress this fall Nevada
W i'll have a stauneh friend. Her inter
ests will be well cared for and her
honor in the sisterhood of States will
have defender the peer of all.
Voters of Nevada. Your Congress
man should be man, one of the peo-
pie. His past in your midst should
reveal to you record of high ability
aud of unimpeachable integrity. And
above all he should be a man lof cour-
age:with a lions heart-a man of
convictions and with strength to main-
tain them. All these you will find in
Edwards. Harrington, the Republican
nominee for Congress.
