There is campaign literature of many
kinds There is defamation Of candi-
dates on the opposite side. and where

Kicking for the purpose Of blicking the
voters to the real issues before them.

Service to the Stats
II can be seen at a glance by men
who have resided in Nevada for any
length OF time, that the nominees on
the Republican ticket this year form a
group notable for their genuine service
TO the State Of Nevada. They are will
ing that the voters Of the State take
their measure with the tape line of
Service to the State. They invite judg.
ment as to their sincerity by past per-
formance, both public and private.
As to future conduct, IL elected to Of.
foe. they are willing that past per-
formance be the guaranty Of their
patriotism and zeal in future service.
These men are of established reputa.
ton in this State. Individually, they
are examples OF the best citizenship in

State affairs.
George S. Nixon
The keynote of the characteristics
that mark the personality OF each can
didate on the Republican ticket Is
particularly dominant in the makeup
OF George s. Nixon, candidate for re-
election to the office of United States
Senator. For example, he has taken
leading part in any and every line Of
private business he has undertaken in
Nevada. He has been in the second
class in nothing; first class ia every
thing. He is a tireless worker, with
Judgment seemingly unerrine, and
therefore leader in whatever he at
tempts to do.
He is the premier State builder in Ne
vada. He has no superior in the extent
Of his loyalty to the interests OF the
people OF this State. A scrutiny Of his
acts as q member OF the Senate will
show his public life as well as his pri.
vate business life-is shaping itself to
accord with his one article Of faith-the
progress and upbuilding of Nevada. An
enthusiastic worker in the Republican
ranks, he is not Extensively partisan.
He looks at all questions. public and
private, with the dispassionate ap-
praisal Of the business eye. He has
never resorted to the trick of the dema-
cog nor to slander OF an adversary to
gain an end. He never peeds 10 cover
his trail.
His Opponents
Opposed to him we find Key Pittman.
awell known lawyer. but an unknown
quantity as to his ability to be of ser
vice to the people Of this State in the
United States Senate. He is untried
and improved He has no record to
which the people OF Nevada may look
for knowledge of what he can or will
do for the State.
The Socialist candidate. Jud Harris,
is man Of ability and integrity. but
not widely known in Nevada. His
party showed. good judgment in his Sc
lection, and while he will poll large
vote. the people of this State cannot be
expected to put aside a we'll tried and
capable public servant. and all round
man of affairs for a new conner.
Tasker L. Oddie
Tasker l.. Oddie's career is one of the
fascinating stories of Nevada. He is
one OF the strongest characters on any
ticket this year. lie has been a work
er first and a worker last. He has
Just commenced to work. He is in his
prime. Neither success nor adversity
has diminished his faith in Nevada.
Atall times and in all places in this
State. where he has labored, half his
Efforts was for the public or community
good. He holds to these ideals now.
lie has two hopes for the upbuildinf
OF this State, where he has one for the
restoration Of his private fortune. He
mas two thoughts for the progress OF
the State as a whole, where he think'
once OF his own advancement. He viii

THIS State into an instrument to restore
