The Miner states II o al baSS or its Sunpi Il seems to res
il o mere surmisc. Such suspicious are easily INDUCED, and IS a
rule. not easily proved unfoundcd. Such course on the part of Mr.
Newlands, il clearly and definitely known, would bring upon him the
seyerest condemnation OF the Democracy and make his reelection.
should he desire one, exceptionally difficult and doubtful.
The Appeal can SCI 40 reason for believing that Newlands and
Nixon are playing a game OF shuttlccock and batledore with the Sena-
torship. No evidence has been offered to justify such a belief and we
certainly shall not indulge in loose conjectmes to the discredit Of the
Democratic Senator.
Moreover, the Miner is not altogether consistent in its chain of rea-
soning After suggesting that Newands wants Nixon elected, it proceeds
10 say that it is. rumored that Judge Bartine is to be forced on the ticket
Il, the Democratic candidate for United States Senator, because, as tn
Miner assumcs,h he would be a weak candidate and make Nixons election
certain. Knowing both Judge Bartine and Senator Nixon as We do,
iy upon its face.
In the first place neither Senator Newhnds OF any one else an
force" Judge Barine upon the ticket The latter gentleman is o in
the habit Of taking orders from anybod,. If anything in politics al be
affirmed with certainty, then it a b. affirmed that Judge Bartine will
never be a candidat fol the Senatornip, or my other office, unless it be
~, the choice OF a clear majority of he Democratic voters of tins state.
The Appeal also knows that Senator Newlands greatly admires
Judge Barune, having on numerous occasions expressed the opinion that
barnne was thu besteq equipped nan or the office OF Senator in the state.
Newlands is working N the interest of Nixon. Bartine is. just about the
last man in Nevada who would be selected for he sar;6ce or would
permit hnm,cft t be made a dummy candidate under any circumstances.
Nor is there anything in the political situation OF the State OF Nevada
to justify the inuendo that Bartine would be a weak candidate. The
last time he an he WI submerged by a Roosevelt tidal wave. BIZ it is
worthy OF note that while the Democratic candidate for the Presidency
lostt the state by about $500 votes. Bartine a beaten by on, a little
more than 'oo and that, outside OF Washoe where the Democ acy split
badly he actually carried the estate, polling the largest vote OF any other
man o n the ticket. He is incomparaby stronger now than he as then
by reason OF his fine work IN the Railroad Commission.
The Appeal ventures the opinion that there is no man in the state
w" WI NIXON would lore dread as an opponent than Judge Bartne
O"r only regret is that we cannot announce his candidacy.
just a word more in reference to the Miners suspicion o th, point
IT the Primary Law is upheld how "a anybody force anybody else on
the Democratic ticket? Has the Miner reason to believe that the law
will be knocked out? If So we would like t o know the reason. We pre-
Ter t believe that it will be sustained because it is truly Democratic and
We may say also Republican in principal and will go a long "a toward
preventing such combinations which the Miner expresses it ears II is
nj !" packed conventions tina. such programs car be carried through.
