Flanagan or NewIands?

flanagan Newlands, gentlemen
Which for the United States Senate
1t up to decide November third at the ballot box
How will you make up your minds
Doubtless by weighing their several points.
Flanagan and Newands have points in common. Both are
of financial standing business integrity and moral recude
But here the similarity ends In every other particular the
difference between them is marked
Temperamenay Flanagan is wam-blooded mpusiye and an

asm His confidence is boundess Only superative degree of
wisdom could have such success roma start as ne
hopeful On the shores Of fortune countless wrecks Of of
like hope who lacked what Flanagan possessed wise and saga
mind in the pilot house But coupled with his unlimited en-
usasm the hrewd and keen foresight and discrimination of
Newands on the other hand emperamentaly cold hesat
ing doubtful suspicious He gifted with reasoning
every venture then after undertaking loses confidence until the
M sS either an sS %
He beeve mankind beyond his social set to be corrupt and
doubtful and suspicious even of his friends.
Politically Flanagan is republican, and always has BEEN He
will fight his party for or against or candidates until set
whether it is for against his views
Neyands in California up ito 1888 was Democrat When
president Newands who was partner Of w. Heron head Of
Of the convention left the state and came to Nevada The repub
can party then dominant Nevada Newlands surrendered
Virginia City in $780, and stumped the state for that party
Two later Joined the silver party and supported Weaver
Since then he has drfted back the democratic fold
In what might might be termed political morals the difference
Flanagan has always been consistent republican and has
reachh fragrant that meeting of the state central
mee Of the this read him the party
but the action subsequently escndd although the facts

son Stewart draw enough votes in order dead
lock by dividing the silver party that the republicans would hold
the balance of power such deadlock Newands hoped
the compromise selection Newands accepted and received
support of Stewards friends for congress- They looked upon the
candidacy of Cleveland due resentment caused by his defeat
for the nomination of by Sader through the exertons
c. Wallace Stewards manager The true facts did appear
until the day after election Then Newands with his election
congress through Stewards help in his pocket and in violation
his nomination pledges announced himself for the oppo
son to Stewart whom he declared the people had repudiated
The fight before the legislature memorable Stewart
ing elected on the first ballot by majority
is fact beyond contradiction that the Newands campaigns
in Nevada have been characterized by the fragrant orrupng
of voters Yet is it popularity of his mental makeup that
processes to be political pus and to experience pous horror
at all devious political practices.
