Why Flanagan Runs

The only excuse for the candidacy
of p. l.. Flanagan for United States
Senator lies in the hope he entertains
that he may assist in reversing the
announced plan of the Interior De
partment to conserve the u OF
the country and of Nevada as Incl
dent thereto, that he may assist in
preventing any revision of the anti
Quated and inadequate public land
laws, that he may restrict the crea-
ton of forest reserves and hat he
may assist in the passage of a law
that will admit the sheep owner to
the national forest practically free
to continue grazing thousands OF
sheep on hundreds of wooded and
brushy hills hat under a wise policy
based upon the principle of the great
est good to the greatest number now
are being held for future reclama-
tion projects.

His Spacious Argument

Mr.. Flanagan believes there are
200 farmers for every sheep owner.
His program, if elected, will be 70
work night and day for the interests
of the one sheep owner as opposed
to those of the 200 farmers and he
makes no bones about it. He has called
upon the sheep owners of the State to
support him in this fight but is meet
ing with small success One sheep
owner warned the Republican State
convention to make no mention OF
tariff revision at Winnemucca, 'else
we will ride you fellers on a rail
out of the State" he declared. The
convention went right ahead and
monkeyed with tariff revision. What
this sheep owner said when he re-
ceived Mr.. Flanigan's admonition, do
mot be penuriOus," may better be
left to the imagination than said.
The aspirant to succeed Senator
Newlands has many speciOus argu-
ments designed to gather in votes
but they all have a woody smell and
they deceive nobody.

Blake watched while the English

rather fussily raised the collar about

fingers. The Americans face was
stolid; but his glance took in every lit

to him that the Englishman was some
