STATE TICKET
REVIEWED

tue Republican State Ticket and
Platform. Following are the can
didates composing the State Ticket.
ELECTORS.
While in voting for presidential
lectors we usually only consider the
presidential candidates for whom
their votes are to be cast, neverthe-
ess, it is gratifying to know that
one is voting for representative
citizens of the State. c. 9. Ahern is
4 well-known business man of Vir-
ginia City, whose popularity or the
Comstock has many times been de-
monstrated. Jim Butler, who dis
covered the Tonopah mines and
created new era in the mining de-
velopment of this state, is easily the
most popular man in Southwestern
Nevada. w. j. Plumb of Elko
county has been we'll and favorably
known throughout this state for
many years. He has been, for a
long time, one of the legal repre-
sentatives of organized labor in the
west, and is the real father OF the
eight-hour law in this state.
U. s. SENATOR.
For U. s. Senator the Republicans
have in Hon. Geo. S. Nixon a can
didate who commands the respect,
confidence and admiration OF the
people generally. Coming to this
state when mere youth, without
capital. other than willing hands, an
active brain, honesty of purpose and
determination to win success he has
risen, step by step, until now ne
ranks, not only as one of the fore
most business men of the state, but
the highest honor within the gift OF
the people is within his grasp Ills
election will mean more to the people
of Nevada than the mere fact that we
will have an able and energetic re-
preventative. 1t will mean that the
way is open for Nevada
to be represented in the future
by actual bonafde citizens, whose
material interests are centered here,
whose home ties are here and whose
hopes and aspirations are centered
in this State. It will mean that the
young men of this state may hope to
possess the honors that are theil
just due. Mr.. Nixon possesses those
peculiar qualifications which tit him
for senator, man of sterling
character, careful student OF men
and measures, a man ofliberal educa-
