Facts That Show How Little
a Figure He Cuts in "Ne-
vada's Awakening"
HE is NOT lNvl STING HERE
His Wealth That Came From
This State Spent in California
the East, and In England

The Utah State Journal, Democratic,
in a recent issue published an article
relative to the awakening of Nevada,
which includes this paragraph:
Her wealth has been utilized to
build ocean cables while her own
counties are without adequate tele-
graphic communication. Her wealth
has gone to erect palaces in Europe
while some of her toiling people still
abide in shanties. Her wealth has
been squandered on entertainments in
Paris Vienna and London. while her
hardy miners have been side stepping
for bacon and beans. Some of her
politicians, too, have shown but little
more loyalty than the millionaires
she has made. They have given bet
ter allegiance to California and the
corporations than to the state thai
honored them and disgraced herself
by their election. 1t is a pleasure to
note that better day is dawning. Up
from much tribulation comes Neva-
das good fortune. She has one sena.
tor and one representative who are
devoted to her interests"
This leads the Reno Gazette to make
the following timely and sensible com
ments:
