Speaker Bowler then fittingly in
troduced the Hon. William Easton,
candidate for lieutenant-governor
who said:
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle
men: am not what might be
called a public speaker, so I will
not intrude upon your valuable time
further than to assure you that If
elected to the important Office of
lieutenant governor, which Office l
believe l am qualified by my long
service in the state senate to dis
charge, / shall do whatever is in
my power to promote the better
ment and welfare of the people of
the state of Nevada. 1 thank you"
The next speaker introduced was
the venerable William McMillen,
candidate for state treasurer. He
reviewed the progress the state had
made during the past 40 years, the
period of his residence within it's
borders, saying that in that time he
had worked at everything from the
mine shaft to the cashiers window
of the Farmers and Merchants bank
of Reno. He told his audience that
the Office of state treasurer carried
with it chairmanships on two very
important state boards-the state
insane hospital and the orphan asy-
lum. His kindly old eyes cleaned
as he assured those assembled how
much he was Interested in both of
these institutions. His assurances
that he would make it his personal
business, if elected, to see that
these unfortunates receive the kind
liest treatment and care. He ended
his speech amidst an ovation which
for enthusiasm will long be remem-
bered. He had struck a chord of
, humanitarianism, which appealed to
, his audience, coming, as it did
straight from his heart.
