SENATOR ODD|E
VISITS DISTRICT
SOUTHERN NEVADA CANDIDATE
FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR Is TOURING
STATE IN AUTOMOBILE.

Senator T. L. Oddie, who is max
ing the race for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor, arrived in Ely
Thursday evening and was ac-
companied by ]. A. Buchanan of
Round Mountain. The gentlemen
are making a tour of the state by
automobile and during the last two
weeks have visited thirteen counties
in the state and have made a person
al canvas of the voters. Mr.. Oddie
Is one of the best known men in the
state and stands high In the estima-
tion of its people and Is making a
campaign that is free from PERSONAL
tiles. When Mr.. Oddie was inter-
viewed by News representative
Friday forenoon at the Northern
hotel he stated that he had been
making a clean fight and intended to
continue doing so throughout the
campaign and that he hoped to be In
a position when the primaries were
over to support the nominees of the
Republican ticket even IL he went
down to defeat at the primaries. and
expected and had every reason to be-
lieve he would receive the same sup
port from his opponent at the gen.
eral election II he secured the nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Oddie classes himself with the
insurgents but not with that class
that are willing to disrupt and tear to
pieces the whole Republican party
providing he is not elected. Accord
ing to Mr.. Oddie, the Republican
party Is bigger than any one man and
while he may not believe In many of
the things that are done under the
name of that political organization
and that he may not be In sympathy
with some of the factions that are
prominent In its control. yet he hopes
to see 1t successful when the votes
are counted at the general election,
and would very much like to be the
party's candidate for governor.
According to Mr.. Oddie, he is
making his own fight and is not TAX
ing part in the fights of other candi-
dates on the Republican ticket and
that he has been caused much worry
by several papers in the state which
have seen fit to misquote and mis-
represent him on matters wherein
he has no personal interest. ut is
my earnest wish" said Mr.. Oddie,
that the best and strongest men in
the party succeed in securing the
nominations and | further hope that
those who fail at the primaries will
be loyal to the more successful can
didates and that they will use every
honorable endeayor to make them
equally successful at the general ell
eetion." In speaking of Judge Mas
sey. Mr.. 0ddie had but the most
pleasant things to say and told of
the friendly feelings that existed be-
tween them and said that when the
election was over the same cordial
relations would exist. When asked
as to the fight between Hugh Brown
and George A. Springmeyer for at
torney general, Mr.. Oddie said that
he had the highest regard for them
both and that he was extremely sorry
that the liter had taken occasion TO
make the charges against Judge
Brown which he had.
Last evening Senator Oddie and
J. A. Buchanan addressed the voters
of the district at Wonderland hall
and Notwithstanding the limited time
for advertising the meeting, the
same was fairly well attended. Mr..
Oddie very briefly gave his reasons
for wishing to secure the Republican
nomination for governor and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Buchanan, who told of
the many high qualities possessed by
the gubernatorial candidate. After
the meeting both speakers met many
of our prominent citizens in the hall
and held short reception. after
which Messrs. Oddie and Buchanan
left for MeGill to attend the dance
