THE PERSONALITY OF NIXON

The expedients to which the Republican
newspapers are resorting in their effor.s
the PERSONALITY of Nixon would be
amusing if it were not p.tiful.-Nevada
State Journal.
The foregoing expresses in a way more
candid than we had expected the nature
of the fight which has been made agains,
George S. Nixon. 1t has not been a cam
paign against him based on political Is
sues and his bearing as the Republican
nominee for the United S ates senate
upon those issues. but it has been a CAM
paign conducted against him upon specific
lines of attack:
First-An attack OF abuse. The Demo
cratic speakers ms cad of referring to
him as "Mr. Nixor.' as the Republican
speakers have always referred 10 his op-
ponent In every instance as Governor
Sparks" have applied to him such cps
thets as Little Nixon that rai'roa.
HiItllIlSs tOOi VI ne F'opSC, SLAIN rs
horse for Senator Stewart" etc.
Second-An attempt to make the intel;:-
gent people of this s.ate believe tina.
George S. Nixon is not the real candidate
for the United States senate, but that Re
was put forward by Senator Stewart 10
draw votes to enable Senator Stewart IT,
re-elect himself. little approaching the
fact tina George S.. Nixon is not the man
to engage in such business, even If Sen
ator Stewart reversed the manner when
he has fought political battles for forty
years. namely, straight out from the
shoulder, and resorted to indirection ana
intrigue to secure a reelection.
Third-The attempt to make it appear
that he is another Charley Wallace anu
has stepped into the latter's shoes as tnr
railroad boss of state politics.
Fourth-That George S. Nixon Is an
represent Nevada in the senate of the
United States.
These are the salient lines of attack
which have been waged against Nj.
Nixon. and THEY HAVE FALLEN
FLAT.
The progress of this campaign has
in this state possessed so many warm
and courageous friends who are out II
the open battling for him as George s..
Nixon. They nave sprung up from every
where. They are in every quarter and
In every hamlet in the state. AND WHO
ARE THEY? They are men in every
walk in life. They are men whom he has
at some time in his life beIriended or
whose friends have been befriended by
him. No more lender hearted or more
sympathetic man ever lived in this state
than Little Nixon If W. adopt the
kindliest term ever used against HIM ~
political opponents. and from the wells
of his heart nave sprung a thousand KIND
ly deeds, unheralded and unpub ishei,
but the seeds of which have blossomed
In warm hearts from one end of this
state to the other. His word has been his
bond. His life has been a c,ean, whole
some and good LIE. He has gone for
ward to success. not by pulling Oilers
down, but by giving his helping hand TO
hundreds. His faith in human nature has
been boundless and he has trusted In a
thousand instances where colder mei
would not trust. and only in rare IN
stances has his faith been misplaced. He
has been an upbuilder of the state. but
greater than ALA thousand times great
err than ALLIE HAS BEEN AN UP
BUILDER OF MEN.
That is why the march of his political
progress through the state has been a
%triumphal march. even though pittod
against him for the great office TO which
he aspires is a man whom we all respect
and love, Governor John Sparks.
Governor Sparks is a kindly. high-mind-
ed and lovable man, but George Nixo:i
Is the man who sows into mems hearts
