their future home, look upon the
schools of the state, as of first i'm
portanee.
So, when there was vacancy
on the republican state ticket
caused by the death of Nevada's
veteran educator, Orvis Ring, the
Central Committee diligently
sought for the right man to place
at the helm of schools of the state
They selected Dwight T. Smith
of Virginia City, Instructor in
charge of the State School of Mines
OF that place. He is fine scholar
an experienced instructor and
keenly awake to the needs of Neva-
da schools, both in the centers OF
largest population and in the re.
mote aud sparsely settled rural
districts.
He believes in a uniform stan
dard throughout the state. He
wants pupil to have the same
advantage in one section as in an
other section of the state. He
wants this uniformity of standard
to apply ITO scholarship require
ments, on the part OF the pupil,
and to individual efficiency on the
part of the teaching corps as a
whole. He also believes IN suffi-
clent latitude for the development
of individuality and aptness along
special lines. He believes in
specializing lin teaching in the
larger schools. He believes in free
text books, 50 that the poorest
child may have an equal a van
tage with the child OF The most
wealthy. But he would have the
Free Text Book law so drafted as
to guard against graft scandals in
this state.
Professor Smith was born in
Esmeralda lcounty, raised on a
ranch ana educated in Nevada
public schools, until the cour
mapped out by him, took him to
the Laurel Hall Military Schools,
in California and 10 the University
Of California. He completed o
course in Mining Engineering al
Berkeley and followed with post
graduate work in science and liter
ature. His University retained
him later on, as one Of its instruct

OUR NEXT
GOVERNOR
MAN OF DETERMINATION
I'll. 0ddie is a Man Fit to Handle
the ReinS of Our State
Government.

Probably no man in the history
of the state has ever undergone
greater privation ana suffered
more physical hardships than T.
L. .Oddie, Republican candidate
for Governor.
Oddie's first mining venture was
started on a shoe string, namely,
just about enough money to keep a
man in pork and beans for a
month. His money gave out be-
fore he reached the ore body in the
tunnel, in which he was working;
he was unable to buy track, SO was
compelled to use wheelbarrow.
This finally was worn out and he
iournied 10 the little town of Bel
mont, fourteen miles away, and
borrowed from a tkind friend a.
mother one; this he had to wheel
up TO the mine, and probably no
man in the state has accomplished
a like feat. i'he distance was not
SO great, being only fourteen miles,
but the trail up the steep and
rocky mountain SIDE was such that
it was impossible Tor him 10 pack
his barrow on the back OF his
mule, the trail rising over 300
feet in short distance. Despite
this tremendous handicap, Oddie
tugged, pulled, pushed, anu worked
on 1t all day and shortly after
nightiall arrived at his little mIne
happy in the knowledge that he
had another wheelbarrow and
could continue work.
The journey would not have
been so hard Tor him had he no.
been 90 npelled to 60 without water
all day, having counted on secur-
ing some OF that precious fluid at a
spring part way up The mountain
side. The spring, however, had
drie up and he hal 10 contln u"
his journey with throat ard tong o
,wollen and parched, as no po' ,r
GA earth would have induced him
t. leave the wheelbar-ow obc5 he
b I'D made up his mind 10 pack 1t
up to the mine.

The Republicans of Douglas
County, in convention assembled /,
most heartily endorse the Republi-

opted at Carson City and we
earnestly recommend that the
platform be read with care and
thought by every citizen who has
the good of the state at heart, and
whose love for his flag and his
country lead him to support that
party which is patriotic and pro-
gressive and so declare in no un-
certain terms. We admire the
harmony and spirit which prompt
ed all who were instrumental In
formulating that platform and
suggest that the same harmony
and the same spirit be continued
by the rank and file OF our party
and vieiol5 al the polls will in
evitabiy ioilow.
We particularly commend Unit
ed States Senator George S. Nixon
as one o the upbuilders of our
state and prominently identified
with its important industries.
We pledge our legislative candi-
dates, if elected, to work for re-
vision OF the Primary law with a
view to correcting the defects
shown in the recent primary
election and to reduce to the low
est effective point the operating
cost of same; to work for perfect
railroad regulation; TO bear con-
stantly in mind the Importance Of
the proper adjustification and sp-
plication of water privileges to the
agricultural j f. of Douglas county,
and to be ever watchful that laws
or regulations are not enacted to
the benefit of special interests
which might prove to be detri-
mental to the people-let the bene
fit be for the people.
We further pledge our legislative
candidates to progressive and
economical Legislation along all
lines with a special endeavor to
reduce to minimum our state tax
levy.
We endorse and commend the

Also the Tangclo

WHILE making these experiments, an
other that promises well was carried
on side by side with it This was the crossing
OF the poraelo, or grapefruit, with the tanger-
lie. The result is neither a poTnelo nor a
tangerine; but is unique and bids fair to
make place for itself. The ponelo has
close clinging skin and bitter portions inside.
The tangerine IS glove skinned. its sections
separate readily, and 1t IS very sweet; while
the poTnelo has too great a tendency toward
bitterness.
The new fruit is a happy compromise in
all these respects. It IS intermediate IN size,
peels readily, has less OF the bitterness Of the
pornelo, but is still sprightly IN taste 1t
promises greater popularity than either of
its parents as breakfast fruit. It's sections

but will nevertheless have great chance at
