Clerk.

The University of Nevada is the one
institution, supported by the people Of
Nevada. 10 which they take just and
honest pride. Under the able manage
ment of President Stubbs and corps Of
professors, not excelled in any education
al institution in the country, the Uni
versity has grown from a second-rate
high school to prominent place in the
educational world. Within it's walls the
young men and women of Nevada can
obtain an education that fully equips
them to enter the battle of life.
For many years after the University
was established it was made a comfort
able retreat for superannuated politicians
and relatives of the Regents and as a
consequence it failed to secure the con-
fidence and support of the people of the
State. But under the control of success
i've Boards of Regents, who cared more
for the educational interests of the
young people of Nevada than they did
for politicians. and the wise management
of President Stubbs, the University of
to. day occupies a commanding position
in the educational field. It's graduates
hold positions OF trust and influence in
South Africa, Corea, Mexico and differ
ent parts of the United States.
This change has been wrought in the
last ten years by the successive Boards
of Regents divorcing the University
from politics and holding it securely in
the educational field Instead of the
people of the State being hostile to it.
they are now friendly and cheerfully
contribute to its support, But how long
will this condition continue if men. who
have axes to grind CT quarrels to settle
with the President and faculty for en-
forcing discipline among the students,
are elected Regents and control the Uni
versity? Or how long will it be before
these conditions change throughout the
State il the people of Washoe county
come to the conclusion, as stated by a
REM delegate to the recent Republican
State convention, that the University be-
longs to Reno and that all the Regents
should be citizens of Reno. II the peo-
pie of Washoe county set up this claim
and, by reason of their large voting pop
ulation, succeed in electing successive
Boards of Regents composed of Reno
citizens, will the University continue to
have the confidence and support of the
people of the State?
These are the matters for the people
of the entire State to consider when vot-
ing for members of the Board of Regents.
II they believe that Regent should be a
man who has quarrel to settle with the
President and faculty because his son
was Justly disciplined, they should vote
for II. ii. Springmeyer for Short Term
Regent. II on the contrary they believe
that the best interests of the State Uni
versity demand that it be kept free from
private quarrels and that discipline
should be maintained at all times, they
should cast their votes for Richard kir-
man, the Fusion nominee for Short Term
Regent.
II the people OF the State outside OF
Reno believe that the University belongs
to Reno and that the Board of Regents
should all reside there, they should vote
for E. r. Dodge, the Republican nominee
for Long Term Regent II they do not
SO believe, bat do believe that the Uni
versity belongs to the State and want a
representative Of the State on the Board
