DID THEIR WORK
AND ADJOURNED
Their Meeting Here Was a
Grand Success POlit-
iCally

The Republican state convention COM
pleted It's lab1rs last evening and ad-
journed.
Democrats as well as Republicans ad-
NIT that it was the finest body of men
ever gathered together in the state-an
honor to winnemucca ana Humboldt
county.
The Winnemucca band and members of
the reception committee, Ct which G. w.
Summerfield was the chairman, remained
up to late hour this morning to bid
them farewell.
There is not a business man or private
citizen to be found in town today but ac-
knowledges that 1t was a gathering of
the finest body CT men ever seen in this
city.
The true spirit of the convention mani
tested itself when Editor Narcross, of the
Reno Gazette concluded the reading OF
the platform and resolutions. He had no
more than finished when the c nvention,
almost to a man, called for George 8.
Nixon. who had been unanimously
dorsed as the candidate for United e-ares
senator.
Il was not the ovation of paid follow
ing; not the ovation of programers; not
the ovation of state organizers, but came
from true, progressive admiring and true
friends of the cand date.
He was escorted to the platform when
he again received one of the most enthu-
siastic greetings the writer ever saw ac-
corded to a political candidate.
Mr. Nixon was deeply affected by the
ovation accorded to him in his home d-s-
trict, and when the cheering subsidized he
spoke in substance:
II would be little less than human If 1
did not appreciate this dem nstration |
thank you for this great honor which has
been conferred upon me-"
The speaker then recounted the time
when he first arrived in the state as a
boy, bent upon earning a living, but new
er for moment dreaming that at some
future date he might receive one of the
greatest gifts afforded to a resident.
The speaker further pledged that he
would visit every hamlet of the state, and
not only work for his advocacy but the
entire ticket.
Mr.. Nixon's remarks were appreciated
by all present, and at the conclusion the
call for three cheers for Nixon" were
given with a will.
