To the Nevada Democracy:
After consultation with lifelong
friends throughout my native state,
have concluded to announce to
the electors of my party my desire
for selection as the Democratic can
didate for the senate of the United
States.
To seek this high and honorable
position of responsibility and trust
is, / take it, worthy of the a.pira-
ton of any man; and while success
would mean the giving mp of a
substantial law practice, built upon
ten years of severe en7eavor and
constant labor, the opportunity 10
serve the best interes~s of the PEG
pie Of the state of my birth. and
of the country at lar2A l.; worth
all of the sacrifice the could he
urged by comparison.
My birth, education and lfc-lons

in me the belief that .ae voters Of
the party, in the ranks of which
l have always been an lrnest
worker, will extend 70 me a fair
measure of their consideration.
Those whose support for this en-
dorsement l solicit, have the right
to demand that l publicly announce
my beliefs and position on the
more serious matters which now
confront the country and its peo-
pie, along both national and state
lines.

therefore, more severely dealt wit
and less benefited by this tax upol
our income and individual resource
than any state in the union, an
while, in company with all en-

that there must be an immediat
