the Nevada line. Have we such a

! United States Senator by this Legis-
lature, either through the press, by
the public speakers or by the private
| citizens, George A. Knight Is the
first and real choice of a great major
| ity of the citizens of the State. George
A. Knight is a man known not only
| to all of California, but throughout
this great country of ours.
I'm campaign following campaign
for the last thirty years George A.
Knights eloquent voice has been
/ heard from the party platform in
city, town and hamlet throughout
every section of this immense State
Without party reward or official rec
/ ognition for more than a quarter OF
a century he has gladly given to the
1 Republican party his able services.
I'VE Of California rejoiced that
when the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
President of these United States, de-
terrnined to select man from the
Great West to second his nomination
at Chicago, George A. Knight was the
man of his choice.
I'm conclusion I submit that from
the standpoint of personal ability
from the standpoint of party SER
vices and from the standpoint OF
obedience to the voice of the people OF
California, we should elect George A
knight as United States Senator from
California"
