For nearly twenty years Judge
Hawley has been Judge of the United
State Circuit Court for the district
of Nevada. His career ON the bench
has been characterized by ability
and by fairness aud inpartiality
His decisions have been appealed
from less then those of any other
judge on the bench; in fact so few
are they that it might he said they
are never taken to the higher Court
OF Appeals. The decisions have been
quoted and stand as an authority |
over this broad land.
His present position is one that he |
may hold for life, if he 80 desired |
and is one of the most honorable
within the gift of the government. |
1t ranks next to the seat on the Su-
preme Bench OF the United States
itself; but to lead the Republican
forces to victory, Mr.. Hawley will |
represent this state in the United |
States Senate beginning with next |
March.
Hon. Thos. P. Hawley's loyalty to
his party and to his State are pro-
verbal and the announcement of his |
leadership of his party will be ac-
cepted with delight and satisfaction. |
For his candidacy will not only lead
the grand old party out of the slough |
Of dependency but will lead the /
State out of the political rut into
which it has fallen. 1t will herald
the new order OF things that prom
ise better for the future than the past
has been. 1t will be what is proba-
bly, the first case on record in New
ada OF the Office seeking the man.
There is no glory to be obtained by |
stepping from seat upon the bench
OIL United States Court into a seat
In the Senate of the Nation. There
are more Senators in the country
twice over than there are United
States Circuit Judges
And it will be this man, whose
party and the consideration of the
Welfare of his State, has forced to
accept the situation, whom the Re-
publican party will ask the voters Of
Nevada to support.
There is another element of our
populatian that will be asked to con-
ader him: All those good residents
OF Nevada who are earnest in advo-
eating new political reginme for |
Nevada; who advocate the election |
ol those other than prosessional
once hunters, and the election Of |
men who are genuine Nevadans. |
sudge Hawley is such man, and as |
'ne majesty OF his mind has made !
ana name well known one with the |
bench and bar of the United States,
% wall his matchless ability add
,os.sr TO Nsvada's name in the
United States Senate.
What cheer will run up and
1o"n the line as the news that Hon. /
.nos. Z. Hawley will he a candidate
