university of that state. He
specialized in the law, and prac-
ticed in that profession in Texas,
serving in the Texas legislature
from the 108th district, the most
populous in the state. His inter-
est was largely in constructive
measures that made for better
ment of conditions of the people
of Texas. Compelled by i'll
health to seek a new climate, he
came to Nevada, attracted by
the wonderful possibilities of this
state, and invested in a large
ranch in Elko county, where he
now lives.
His public career has been va
ried and full of activity. He
was a member from Texas to In
dianapolis in 1900 when the
league of democratic clubs held
its convention, and was the Tex

Prominent Democrats To Be Voted For November 3, 1908

Hudson was one of the most
strenuous advocates at the Car
son City convention for the full
a I'd free endorsement of William
Jennings Bryan, and he has been
a close friend of Bryan's for
many years. In electing him as
presidential elector, the people
of Nevada will have the salts
faction of knowing that, with
his confreres Joseph Miller of
Lander, and Charles s. Sprague
Of Esmeralda. he will cast his
vote for the Great Commone1
after November Sd, when the
electoral college shall meet.
Charles S. Sprague was NOM
mated at Tonopah for presiden-
tial elector by the Esmeralda
county delegation after three
days, during which he was op-
posed by the majority of his del
egation. His nomination came
as a recognition of his worth as
man, his sterling honesty and
his good democratic principles.
Mr.. Sprague was born in Ohio,
where politicians sprout like
young corn stalks. Educated
for the newspaper profession, he
has been engaged in it at Wash
ington, D. c., and other places
prior to his arrival in Goldfeld
and his purchase of the Goldfeld
News. He has always been g
sincere democrat, and at one
time was a legislator in Colorado
as a representative of the mining
and laboring men of Cripple
Creek, and he earned commen
dation from them for his manly
stand for their rights in the
memorable sessions of the Colo
RADIO legislature preceding tht
outbreak of the labor troubl,
in that state.
He is now president of tn
Goldfield chamber of commerce

With the town scattered over such

lights have been the best
that the town authorities could do.

for four very powerful gas lamps
that will be PLACID upon high

four lamps prove satisfactory,
others will be added from time to
