The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1904-10-28
THE COMING ELECTION.

With its columns always crowded to
the limit with live mining and local
news Of the greatest gold camp eve
known-with items worth three sticks
crowded into that number of lines-THE
NEWS hesitates to Use much space for
politics. There is no one with business
Or mining interests now In Goldfeld but
feels and knows that he has the one
great opportunity of his life for a for
tune and selfish human nature impels
him to devote all his energies to his own
business and let "the other fellow" look
after public affairs. But, as has been
pointed out, we should spare enough
time from the chase of the almighty
dollar to give careful consideration as to
whom should be selected as public SER
wants in the coming election.
We believe that in this campaign the
best interests Of the nation, state and
county will be served by the election OF
the Democratic ticket. Despite many
virtues the Republican party is not the
party of the people; and it is daily grow
ing further away from the masses. That
Its characterization OF silver did not cause
more widespread disaster is due mainly
to new discoveries and an undreamed OF
Increase in the production of gold, the
last conspicuous example Of which is
here in Goldfeld.
The policy OF imperialism, apparently
dear to the heart Of President Roose-
Welt and the Republican party, is not
only against the most cherished Ameri-
can principles, but it is foolish as a cold
blooded business proposition. The most
potent argument in reconciling the
American people to that policy is that
it will increase prosperity by extending
our foreign markets. But if the millions
spent in the Philippines had been ex-
pended in irrigation enterprises in Ne
yada and other Western states, not only
would the monetary eturns have been
a h%undredfold greater, but no wrong
would have been done, nor blood shed.
The microbes of political and military
4 ambition have multiplied in President
Roosevelt to such an extent in the past
few years as to transform him from a
man whom even his political enemies
admired to one who is dangerous to he
peace and prosperity of the nation If
elected to again sit in the Presidents
chair.

The voters II Goldield willtake pleas
ure in votinf Tor Zeb Kendall for Presi-
Dental Elector. Big-hearted Zeb has
done much to develop Goldfeld and he
hasn't an enemy in the camp.
For United States Senator it would be
hard to find a better man than Governor
Sparks. He may not be the most bril-
liant mar in the state, nor is he as
.'oily as some OF his colleagues-to-be,
but his record shows that he can be
safely trusted to look after the best
interests of all the people-neither the
capitalist nor the buckingham being
undulv favored or Disseminated against.
w. A. ingalls, and George Ii. Lewis,
candidates for the Assembly, need no
introduction to the voters Of Esmeralda
county. Mr.. Ingalls, is our present sher-
if, and Mr.. Lewis is a business man,
whose fairness and fitness for the office
is recognized by all classes.
Those who know him best say that
John F. Casey will make a splendid
sheriff and that he will fill that respon-
sible position to the satisfaction OF all
law-abiding citizens.
1t is important that this fall a man be
elected to the Board OF County Commits
sioners who knows the needs of Gold
field and who will work for the interests
of this camp. Such a maj is Claude L.
Inman. He has shown himself ener-
getic and public-spirited and will make
a good commissioner.
VIM. Bell is not the man physically
that he was when he was the efficient
marshall OF Victor. Colo. Sickness has
wasted the once massive frame, but his
courage is as great, his head as clear
and his heart as true as ever. As JUS
tice of the Peace he can be depended
upon to do his duty without fear or
favor.
Space forbids especial mention ofother
candidates, but it can truly be said that
take it up one side and down the other,
the ticket is a good one and deserving OF
