GRAND REPUBLICAN RALLY
TOMORROW evening
FLANAGAN OR NEWLANDS

1t is up to you to decide on Novem-
ber Sd at the ballot box
How will you make up your mindsl
Doubtless by weighing their several
points.
Flanagan and Newlands have points
IN common. Both are gentlemen. Both
are devoted husbands and fathers. Bota
are men of financial standing, business
integrity and moral rectitude.
But here the similarity ends. In every
other particular the difference between
them is marked.
Temperamentally Flanagan is warm
biooded, impulsive and an optimist
Everything he undertakes is carried
out with enthusiasm. His confidence
IS boundless. Only superlative degree
of native wisdom could have won sucn
success from zero start as he has at
tanned with nature so buoyant, con-
fldent and eternally hopeful. On the
shores of fortune are countless wrecks
! Of men of like hope who lacked what
Flanagan possessed, a wise and saga
eious mind in the pilot house. But
coupled with his unlimited enthusiasm
is the shrewd and keen foresight ami
discrimination of the man of successful
affairs.
Newlands, on the other hand, temper
amentally is cold, hesitating, doubtful
ana suspicious. He Is gifted with acute
reasoning powers and weighs to the
ninutest grain the pros and cons of
every venture, then after undertak-
ing it loses confidence until the crucial
stage is past. He trusts no one and has
confidence in no one outside his imme-
diate household, either in politics or
business He believes mankind, beyond
his social set, to be corrupt, and is
doubtful and suspicious even of mis-
friends.
Politically, Flanagan is Republican
and always has been. He will right in
his own party for or against politics O..
candidates until settled by the conven-
tion, then he Loyalty supports his
party's decision whether it is for OF
against his views.
Newlands in California up to 1888,
was Democrat. When the Stockton
convention refused to indorse Stephen
J. Field fol president, Aewlands, who
was a partner OF W. F. Herrin, head
OF the law department of the Southern
Pacific Company, walked out of the
convention, left the state, and came to
Nevada. The Republican party was
then dominant in Nevada. Newlands
surrendered allegiance to democracy,
attended the Republican State Conven-
tion at Virginia City in 1890 AMI
stumped the State for that party. Two
years later he joined the Silver Party,
and supported Weaver and Field the
Populist nominees for President an
Vice President. Since then he has
drifted back to the Democratic fold.
Ia what might be termed political
morals the difference between Flanagan
and Newlands is monumental.
Flanagan has always been conss
tent Republican and has fought in ths
open. Newlands in 1898 was guilty OF
political treachery so fragrant that ono
meeting of the State Central Committee
of the Silver party for this cause reac
him out OF the party, but the action
was subsequently, rescinded, although
the facts were never subject of dispute
Newlands next year accepted the Silver
Party nomination for Congress and in
dorsed the platform pledging the sup
port of the party and its nominees fol
