JAMES G. SWEENEY

The announcement of Judge
Sweeney as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for United
States senator at the primary cleo
ton will be found elsewhere.
Judge Sweeney is a native of Ne
vada. He is now on the supreme
bench having been elected to that
high position in 1903. Previous to
his election to the supreme bench
he served nj term as attorney
general of the state. In these
positions he has made an enviable
record.
He has the ability necessary to
make Nevada an excellent repre-
sentative in the senate of the
United States. In addition
to that his knowledge of the needs
of the state in the way of federal
legislation, coupled with his ability
and experience on the bench, fit
him in an eminent degree for the
high Office to which he aspires.
Judge Sweeney is a democrat.
He is n of the old stock. His
future is wrapped up in the pros
perity of his native state. He
knows its wants and has the
courage and ability to present
them in a way that will win sup.
port from his colleagues.
If the democrats of Nevada want
an active, energetic. fearless repre-
sentative in the senate of the
United States, they should earnest
ly consider the candidacy of Judge
James G. Sweeney at the Septem.
Der primary. If nominated, he
promises to canvass the state and
do his utmost to pass under the
wire ahead of his republican op.

PRIMARY LAW NEEDS
EXPLAINING BY THE

County Clerk viii Ryan, who is
one of the best posted men in Ne

covered a point in the law which
may eventually upset the primary
election. In Section II, paragraph
g, it is provided that at the bottom
of the last column on an official
ballot there shall be left one blank
space which shall be preceded by
the words County Committee
man. As the law docs not pro-
vide how the county committee
man shall be placed on the ballot

so that the voter may write in his

after completing a journey to the

traffic manager of the new Gould
line, arrived Monday night, says

cords, ne said. For the first thirty
days or more the passenger trains
will be operated at moderate
speed. Later faster time will be
made.
Although the Western Pacific
announces Its dining-car service

houses are to be operated at
various stations along the route.
Six have already been erected and
are in readiness for business at
Wendover, Elko, Winnemucca,
Gerlach, Portola and Oroville.
"The passenger stations along
the line are the prettiest | have

Contracts will be let at a future

ALFABFA GROWS HIGH
ON AMAGOSA YANCH

Ten feet of alfalfa in three
crops!
How is that for high in the heart
of the great American desert?
Farmer Il. P. Garberg is now
cutting the third crop of alfalfa
for this season at his ranch Just
east of Beatty. He says that the
first crop stood four feet high, and
the second and third three feet
each, making a total of ten feet of
alfalfa SO far this year.
The land will produce, he asserts,
ten tons of alfalfa per acre in a
season. He has several acres
seeded.
Cant eloupes and watermelons
will be ripe within a few days at
Garberg's and at the numerous
ranches along the peaceful ANA
rgosa. No sweeter or better
favored melons are grown any
where than those in the little valley
which pierces the heart of the Bull
frog district.
