1.-THE next United States senator from
Nevada may be Charles M. schwab, and
the next governor, John MITCHELL" said
Tom Noonan OF Bull Frog, New, who Is
stopping at the Merchants hotel, while
transacting business in Omaha He is a
mining man from Bull Frog and in close
touch with the political situation OF the
Silver state.
yes that is schwab. the ex-steel trust
president" added Mr. Noonan. Mr..
Schwab on his recent trip to Nevada, you
know. bought the Montgomery Shoshone
mine at Bull Frog for s5.OO0.OOO and he gave
Il out to some OF his friends then, he was
going to run for the United States senate
to succeed Senator Newlands. next winter.
And this John Mitchell is, in fact. a MEM
Der OF the miners union but he is not the
president OF the union Of whom the country
knows so much. He is good man, though,
and believe has a fine chance for election
as governor
Now. mind you, while I am thoroughly
convinced schwab will run for the senate
and will tap the biggest barrel that ever
was unhooped out there. l don't think ne
will be elected. Nevada is for Nevadans
We don't have to import men TO put in
the United States senate. Senator New
lands will not be candidate again and
the very reason is that he couldn't posi-
bly, be elected, because he Is no longer a
resident of Nevada, but Of California. He
has established a home at Oakland His
wife is a California woman.
Money VIII BE Plentiful.
II was In Montana when Clark made his
successful race for the senate. / saw a
big barrel opened. Money flowed like
water and that is what is expected out IN
Nevada when schwab turns loose But
It won't get Mr.. schwab anything. We
have plenty Of men of our own with bar
rels who amt afraid to spend, either, and
we will put one of these fellows in New
lands place. 1 don't just know who it will
be; it'll be a live one all right.
I'VE are glad to have Charley Schwab
out there with us and maybe in time -
can land something in the shape Of politi-
cal office, but he must get his feet tough
ened up first"
HAS Mr. Schwab bought a home yet2''
HAS he bought a home? Well now I
guess ne must have: he gave a fellow $4,000
for little thing he called home and says
he's going to make 1t the only real place
IN the state"
what about Mltchell who is her"
''Oh. he's a miner down there at Bull
Frog with about 'steen million dollars and
he's thoroughbred. I'm a democrat and
Mitch is a republican. but he's good
enough for me. l would be for Governor
Sparks for reelection. only he couldn't get
It."
No More Democrats.
Couldn't get 1t, why, what's against
the GOVERNOR"
Nothing. only he's a democrat"
"Oh, you are not going to have any more
democrats out there. eh?"
ut doesn't look much like we're going to
have democrats anywhere pretty soon,
does it?"
"What has become OF old Senator JonesT'
Prospecting Down at Gold Field digging
in the ground for gold. He's an old mani;
been rich and prominent In the United
States for long, long time. and now,
with his flowing white beard, in his old
age, he's down there In those mining re-
gions picking away like he picked back in
the days OF 40. But don't get It into your
head Jones is a poor man That story is a
good one 50 far as the pathos is concerned.
but II amt true. The senator may not have
as much as he once had. but he's still a
rich man and he amt digging there because
he has to.
Great coupntry7 Nevada is the greatest
mining country on earth and the ground
amt been scratched yet"
