1t must be gratifying to Congressman Bartlett of this state to
come from under the abuse that has been heaped upon him by
his own party wrapped in the robe of victory. 1t has been said
chat he who wears the spurs must win them. Perhaps it was a
part of the battle of George Bartlett TO attain the heights of
American craftsmanship that he be compelled to travel a route be-
sprinkled with thorns. No truly great man has ever mounted to
heights without a struggle. Many have fallen in the battle, few
have see their efforts crowned with success.
Speaker Cannon of the lower house of congress has honored
Mr.. Bartlett signany. And these honors came not in the nature of
4 reward for services rendered: Mr.. Bartlett is not SPRAYED with
the perfume of Cannonism. Contrary to the charges that his W
party has Haunted in his face regardless of their truth, Mr.. Bart
fet has shown no disposition to cater to the man who Yields the
gavel in the house of representatives. He has been accused of
voting for Cannon. AS often has he denied that accusation. vet
with a venom that is characteristic of certain of the Democratic
press of this state no attempt has been made to deal out justice

who would Islander his good name to learn that at the same time

tional congressional campaign committee whose membership num-
bers but nine selected from among the leading Democrats of CON
gress. That surely does not SAVIOR of Cannonism.
Mr. Bartlett has been a conscientious worker for the good of
the state. He has done what he thought was for the good of all.
That is the kind of a man whom the people can trust and whom
they will trust. What he has had to say he has said with n O show
of mockery. He is a man. Just so long as he pursues the course

He is a Nevadan to the core, a fearless, honest statesman. a cour-
