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

| 1t has been truly said that wnere
people are well educated the art of
plotting a State is best learned from
the writings of Plato. Likewise from
the pages of this sage old philosopher
one may learn the attributes required
of all persons to whom the reins of
government are entrusted. These es-
sentials are three, wisdom, goodness,
power. Under Plato's definition the
Republican nominee for Governor, A.
G. Cleveland, of White Pine, is an
ideal candidate. He has a wise old
head, not only in. book learning, but
with broad experience in affairs of
State. His handling of his business
affairs, the management of the largest
stock farm on the coast, has shown
ais Judgment to be sound in such mat
ters, and man who can successfully
administer large business interests
generally proves to be safe man at
the head of State affairs He is shrewd
in politics, and master politician is
but philosopher in action. He is a
man of the people, genial, a bright con-
versationalist, and as teller of good
stories he has not his equal outside OF
Senators Depew and John Jones. In
fact, no one who meets Cleve, as he is
popularity called throughout the West,
will ever forget the meeting. He will
carry away with him the recollection
of boon companion, broad-minded
gentleman.
As to Cleve's goodness, his heart is
in the right place. 1t is heart over
flowing with sympathy and love for
his fellow man. His life's history is
filled with deeds of love and kindness.
His hospitality is of the proverbial
western kind. The latch string on the
gate of the entrance to his broad fields
and humble hearth is within the reach
of all. His wife, noble woman,
greets all alike with pleasant words,
and helps her husband in welcoming
their guests and making them feel at
home. Scarcely night falls but
strangers will be found content within
their gates. Among his workman
Cleve is looked upon as hero, and the
highest panegyric that private virtue
can receive is the love and praise of
his laborers.
Cleve is a power among his neigh
bors, and they extend beyond the con-
fines of White Pine, and into Eureka,
Elko and Lincoln counties, and is
tower of strength throughout the State
as a citizen, scholar and statesman.
He stands for honesty in all things, is
a man of strong convictions, and has a
mind of his own, backed with a lions
courage. Summing up his qualities in
a nutshell, he has good head, good
heart, and good backbone. A. c.
Cleveland was borne in Maine. He
first entered Nevada in Washoe county
and among his first neighbors his
friends are legion. For nearly forty
years he has lived in Nevada, and
shared in its ups and downs. During
all this time he has been loyal TO his
State, stood for high wages and prompt
pay, and championed the cause of the
working man, and every interest es-
sential to the upbuilding of Nevada.
He has served the people in the legis-
lature and has won fame for himself,
and friends for Nevada, by his speeches
in political, industrial and stockraisers
conventions held throughout the north,
east, south and west
A. c. Cleveland is a prince among
his fellow men. He is true Nevadau
and AZ ideal candidate for Governor of
our commonwealth, and the voters of
Nevaad can make no mistake by
seating him in the Capitol at Carson to
guide the affairs of our State for the
next four years.-News
