He Wins the Senatorial Toga BY
Six Votes
MANY SPEECHES were MADE
The Senate Ten to Seven for Sparks the House wenyou
to Fifteen 70: Nixon. The friends Of both men Eulo-
oize their Favorite Candidate Some of the Talks by

no mistake in sending him to the
United States Senate.
On behalf of the people Of this
State and on behalf Of those in this
body favoring his election to that
Office l nominate the Honorable John
Sparks for the Senate of the United
States of America
! Mr. SMALL Of Churchill
! Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Assembly.
l do not desire to take much Of
! your time eulogizing the man whom
the Democrats have nominated fo-
United States Senator in any extend
ed remarks, but ! do desire to say
that it gives me great pleasure to
second the nomination of Nevada's
grandest man-Hon. John Sparks
| Never before in the political history
of this State has any party placed be-
fore this honorable body man whose
| interests have been more closely iden-
titled with those Of the people. John
Sparks is a plain honest man. If the
embodiment of honor, justice and in
tegrity is essential to the election of
United States Senator, then by all
means John Sparks should represent
! L.
Like my friend from Humboldt, I
am Nevada boy. l was born almost
in the shadow of this very building
and in the years to come when my
hair has turned to silvery gray l shall
look back and revere this day and
consider the opportunity of seconding
the nomination of John Sparks one
of the proudest moments Of my life.
I do not presume from the remarks
of the Republican members that John
Sparks will represent us in the United
States Senate. I do not think that the
odor of sagebrush will accompany him
to Washington, but do know that the
odOr of no discredit has followed him
through life and that if he would go
the odor of honor would be upon his
breast. l again state that take great
pleasure in seconding the nomination
of Hon. John Sparks.
Mr.. Cole Of Nye County.

Assembly:
In rising to second the nomination
just made by the gentleman from Elko
cannot help but feel that furthe.,
eulogy of our candidate is entirely un-
nee Ssary
No man perhaps, in the history Of
the State OF Nevada, has been SO
thoroughly known to the people them
selves as has our honored candidate
No man has been more closely as
sociated with the interests of the
State than he.
No man from any party has We,
been able to cast one stone at the
personal, political or moral character
of our candidate.
This is the kind of a man we ask
, your vote for.
This is the kind Of man that the
people of the State of Nevada at the
present time demand shall take hi:
rightful seat in the upper branch OF
the House of Representatives al
Washington from Nevada
This is the kind of man that the
common people Of the country neet
in such places; and in the name o.
the common people Of Nevada and o.
the United States second the nomi
:, nation Of Hon. John Sparks.
