we. cen bfowsc about in . field of facts
that will excite one ~laudatory rapture
after another; Senator Newlands
labor record in Nsvadai Is it not q
subject that to all informed about it
relegates every other topic to the re-
gion of the commonplace
1t is more han a pleasure. it ] an
exultation, for the people Of Nevada to
contemplate how benevolently the
Sharon estate has been administered by
Senator Newlands in aid Of the up
building Of the state from which it
originally sprung.
Let us 90 back twenty years. SEN
ator Newlands was a resident Of Cali
fornia. He did not remain there
whyf Solely because a sentiment, if
you please, obsessed him. His genef-
ous and ardent nature was wrought up.
He could not sleep. And all because
he remembered that the millions of
dollars that he controlled had original
ly come from the bowels Of the Com
stock lode and should be used in the
material advancement of the state of
Nevada. With the burning fire Of
an unquenchable zeal for high justice
in his heart, he determined, be-gosh,
that the Sharon estate should be spent
In Nevada. :
He came here.
Coincidently he switched politics and
projected himself into the states po-
litical arena.
But that il neither here nor there.
We are about to consider tenderiy
and afectionately the appalling num-
Der and stupendous immensely of the
enterprises which Senator Newlands
has projected in Nevada. While it is
true hat the credit of putting Nevads
on the map belongs to Clarence Dunn
Van Duser, erstwhile shining night If
Nevada Democracy, the credit of caus
ing us to stay put belongs to the splen-
did business ediices and industrial
enterprises Of Senator Newlands which
have firmly held us where we were put.
Immediately on his arrival Senator
Newlands constructed a homoe on the
banks of the Truckee at Reno. From
this nucleus has sprung enterprises
beyond conception. True, he did not
spend all the Sharon estate in Nevada.
Let us not be carping critics, and be-
cause he did not invest the ultimate
farthing on our sacred soil, rear up
and snort. The bagatelle of the dozen
or so millions that he has invested IN
other places since he made his home
here shows in reality the high sense OF
his fiduciary obligation to the estate.
Is is impossible here to give separate
and extended description of each ,.
these enterprises, Volumes would be
required. We are CONTAINED by space
to submit only figures and bare sta
~tisties.
The following remarkable string or
numerals gives the aggregate number
Of such enterprises, large and small,
employing labor which Senator New
lands has inaugurated here since his
advent in Nevada:
