speeches. His great achievement in

Attorney General Sweeney feels con-
hdent OF his election as "a Justice Of
OF the Supreme Court. The only argr-
ment which has been made against him

Judge Bartine answered the argument

AS a matter Of fact. it ID generally
conceded that this years Democratic
ticket, from top to bottom, is the
strongest ever named in Nevada. Dan

and Frank p. Mann,x for Secretary OF
State, are popular representatives OF

reelection to that Office, while Robert
Rattice has served his apprenticeship
for the Office Of Controller ON the Ways

his ability and honesty are conceded.
The schools and the uni Ter Sity are
fortunate in the choice Of Democratic
candidates for Superintendent Of Public
Instruction, and for Regents. Robert
fl. Mitchell has b'en thoroughly
trained for the duties Of the Superin'
tendent. Charles b. Henderson oil
EIko, John Sunderland, Jr., Charles r

Board OF Regents.
AZ n Whole, it is a winning ticket and
its representatives are making Il winning
campaign. In fact, it looks like q
Democratic year throughout the United
States.
