RRAGG'S BUDGET OF
REPUBLICAN
NEWS

q State or county. My experience mas
tauoht me that Republicans everywhere
ond ,,nder all circumstances come nearer
carving cut prosperity on all lines than
men from any other political party;
Republican are active, they are pro-
gressiye. they are protectionest and do
not believe in talking free trade; they
can see no wisdom in talking protection
for revenue only, but think the factory,
labor on all lines and the country gen
erallv needs protection in order to keep
up with the pace set by the world.
While Supreme Judge sits in Judge
ment for men of all political creeds,
how much better is it to have man on
tbe bench who does things, originates
new IDEAS and is in sympathy with pro-
oress than TO have one whose Judge
ment is warped by politics. Judge
Dodge, the Republican nominee, is a
man Of affairs in every walk of like, he
is a lust man, he is charitable man,
he is the imbodiment of everything
good and nothing bad-politically or
otherwise. The Republican party made
no mistake when it asked Ed. Dodge to
serve the State on the Supreme bench,
Judge Dodge is one Of the best of men,
not only on the bench but off it; his life
has been spent in Nevada, in the mines
and on the farm, in the counting room
and in the legal profession. He has
been making a canvas all the years he
has lived. His every act has been one
to indear him to the people with whom
he comes in contract. There is nothing
small or tricky about Ed. Dodge and
the people of Nevada who have differ
ence to settle in the courts will find him
Just Arbitrator of their rights. Every
one will get ''square deal and II
they are not looking for justice 'unde-
filled" they do not want Dodge to set
in judgement at all, but had better vote
the Democratic ticket.

ada, Republican nominee for Surveyor

year 1887 and was admitted to the ha
the same year, in an examination be

In 1897 President Mckinley selecte,

for appointment, as Secretary Of tn
Territory of Alaska, and Clerk Of u. S
District Court at Sitka.

ing Governor repeatedly, in the all
sence of the Governor, the last time 70
a period of six months. AS acting Gov
ernor. he had the honor of rendering

In speaking Of Mr.. Elliot $ services i
Alaska, the following is quoted from

pointment Division, Department of tn
Interior, Washington, D. C.
He is 8 man Of untiring industr
and jealous devotion to duty, retirin
in 1900, though urged to accepted re
appointment. He was distinguishe
among our officials in Alaska, as q
