4. M. BURD.

A. NJ. Burd, Democratic candidate
for assemblyman, is the pioneer active
practitioner in Fallon. Since coming
here five years ago he has enjoyed a
lucrative practice and has been ar
rayed on one side or the other OF a
majority OF the important cases that
have been tried in the Churchill county
district court. Mr.. Burd comes from
good old Puritanjcal stock, and was
born in Path valley, Franklin county,
Pennsylvania, in the year 1873. His
parents removed to Illinois, when Mr..
Burd was an infant in arms. He re-
ceived his education in the public and
high schools of the sucker state, and
learned his profession by hard knocks.
He entered law office when he was II
years of age; was admitted to active
practice upon attaining his majority,
and has never followed any other line
of endeavor in his life.
Should Mr.. Burd be elected as one
of the two assemblymen from this
county, he is fully qualified to discharge
the duties attached to the office in an
able and painstaking manner. That he
will do so goes without saying. Mr..
Burd is candidate who submits his
case to the voters of the county solely
on its merits.

]. W. RICHARDS.

J. W. Richards, the Democratic
nominee for county treasurer needs no
historical sketch to tell who he is and
what he stands for. He has been
Jim" to so many people and his un-
selfish Character IS so well known that
no one can add to bis laurels by hollow
sounding words. But, while we cannot
add to his prestige by euloglstic senti-
ment, neither can we pass him by
without mention. Mr.. Richards has
been the custodian of The public funds
of this county for many years. His
portion has many times been trying.
There were periods when the eounty's
finances were more than a care-were
a real burden, but through the Weiss.
tudes Of official life, Mr.. Richards has
at all times been true to the trust re-
posed in him.
In selecting choice for the county's
treasurer, Mr. Richards claim should
not be lightly considered. His work
has been well done and has received
the paudits of The officials whose du-
ties included the checking up of his
work. He is familiar with the routine
of his Office and being faithful public
sefyaa4e is entitled to be retained.
Safe, sane business conduct never al
lows Of the summary discharge cf a
servant who gives faithful service.

C. |. NOBLE.

c. L. Noble is the Democratic candi-
date for county clerk. For two years
he has been the efficient deputy in this
office, where he has gained an intimate
knowledge OF the needs of the office.
Mr.. Noble has lived in Nevada for ten
years, six OF which have been spent in
Churchill county. Up to the time of
coming to Fallon three years ago he
was employed by the S. P. Company in
a clerical position, and his fifteen years
office work have fitted him admirably
to discharge the duties of county clerk
should he be favored with a majority
of the votes at the election near at
hand. His campaign has been con-
Quoted along clean, concise lines; he
has made no promises that will GO un-
fulfilled, and the people generally,
know fully Of the many admirable
qualities OF MIR. Noble.
He is taxpayer of this county, own
ing farm land in the Island district and
his home in this city. His residence
here is not contingent upon his election.
Many people take the view that Mr..
Mobiles knowledge of the routine of
the Office which he seeks, makes him
the logical candidate for the place, an
idea that is uppermost with this paper.

SCISSORS Office, should he be elected
that it will no longer be necessary to
make emergency loans, the bugbears Of
the taxpayers Of this county Mr. Sit
tons plan to do away with this expen-
sive and tax raising procedure is To
raise the assessment of the railroad
along the lines laid down by Governor
Diekerson with the end in view that
equity may govern entirely in tax adj
justments. BY following this policy
MI. Sitton believes that the eounty's
revenue can be increased so greatly
that ample funds will be provided to
meet the current and contingent ex-
penses that may fall upon the county.
Mr.. Sitton further pledges himself to
maintain an Office in the county court
house, should he be elected, at all
times when his duties do not take him
into the field.

A. 0. FOSKETT.

A. o. Foskett for county recorder
and auditor, is well known throughout
this county. He has served in clerical
and executive manners several local
organizations, including the County
Fair Association and the Truckee-Car-
son Farmers Association. The sue
cess of the last fair meeting was very
largely attributable to his untlring eff
forts. which were put forward without
hope of reward. Mr.. Foskett is
making his campaign slogan the most
economical administration consistent
with efficiency" and he has promised
the people of this county that he will
transact the affairs of the recorders
office, should he be elected, single
handed and alone, thus saving the
county the expense of deputy hire,
which is $1,000 annually.
Mr.. Foskett is abundantly able to
to handle the affairs of the office to
which he aspires. He has clerical
qualifications in large measure, in addi-
ton to tact and executive ability, and
his claims are entitled to careful con-
sideraton at the hands of the voters of
the county. When he promises to save
the county $2400 for two year official
term, he is touching a chord that
should be responsive, for these are
days when money saving is anything
but red rag to the men who pay the
county's expenses.

W. W. Booth, Next State Printer.

w. w. Booth, Republican candidate
for the office of State Printer, is son
OF John Booth, who as editor and
publisher of different papers in Me-
vada during a life time, left his last
mark on various affairs of the state.
Billy Booth was early put through
his apprenticeship at the case and knew
how to run newspaper at an age in
life when most young men are still de-
batting what shall be their calling. He
was educated in schools on the Pacific
Coast.
He was connected with the manage
ment of the Belmont Courier when that
camp was the boom camp of Nye coun-
ty. He established paper il Austin
and has been connected with many
papers in all capacities in number of
Nevada towns. He has always MAIN
tanned newspaper or journalistic style
of his own. You never find him beat
ing about the bush" in the discussion
of any question in the columns of his
paper. His whole journalistic course
has been characterized by two dominant
qualities fearlessnoss and generosity.
The work of his life in which he takes
most pride is that connected with the
publication of the Tonopah Bonanza, a
paper he founded when the riches of
Oddie Mountain were first discovered.
He believed in the camp, and through
his paper, was one of the most active
means in bringing the camp to the at
tention of the world, service that has
resulted in one of the most spectacular
mining excitements of fifty years, and
brought about the opening of the
mines of Southern Nevada and the en-
richment of the state.
He followed course all through the
labor dissensions in the south that was
marked for its fairness and has a record
in his own business of paying the man
employed higher wage rate than was
called for by the Union scale.
He has mastered the gentle art of
printing in all its branches and in all
its details. He is one of the most
competent men in the state to take
charge of the state printing plant at
Carson City and do the work as it
should be done. He is making a char
acteristic campaign throughout the
state. He is not ''long" on talk or on
shouting his own praises. He covers
his attitude toward labor in few
gattling gun shots, as: 81 carry the
Union label | pay more than the

Gilbert c. Ross, Democratic Candidate
For Lieutenant Governor of Nevada.

Born in Nevada, and has all of his
interests here. Has been identified
with the public school system of Ne
vada for over twelve years, and pledges
himself to use his influence. If elected,

ment Of the system, and especially for
better financial provision for the small
er schools.
Will vote for a Railroad Commission
that will safeguard the interests of the
people as has the present one. Is

LABOR'S REWARD is SUCCESS
Fallon Creamery" Butter Is
Finding Ready Sale at Home
And Other Markets.
Labor's Reward Is Success.

The Fallon Creamery deserves a
large measure Of success. II deserves
primarily because it is local institu-
tion, but there are other contributing
reasons why success should come its
way in large measure, chief of which
Is the manner in which its manager,
w. r. Robrecht labors to please the
public and when we say 'pIease the
public, we mean by his courtesy to
the creamery's patrons and his
serupulous cleanliness around the butter
factory, he is doing everything within
his power to please the people who
make it possible for him to turn out a
clean, palatable product that in turn
pleases the butter consuming public.
Now, we happen to live near Mr..
Robrecht's place Of work and he is
burning midnight oil to make his
creamery go. A visit to the inside of
the creamery will demonstrate just
how neatly Mr.. Robrecht proceeds in
his work of producing "Fallon cream
cry. And "Fallon Creamery pro-
duced under his auspices is certainly
strongly contrasted to that produced
under the old regime, when filth pre-
dominated along with dead beat method.
But that is ancient history. Every
body turn to and help Mr.. Robrecht
and his associates in making Fallon's
creamery famous A moments refec.
ton should suffice TO convince US that
it is to our interests to so do.

years at least.
In times past, Mr.. Cirac has been

grubstaked more than one prospector

J. ". SITTON.

j. w, Sitton, incumbent of the coun-
ty clerks office for two terms, and
Democratic candidate for county asses-
sor, has not made the canvass of the
county that is generally being made,
by reason of the fact that his official
duties require great deal of his per-
sonal attention. He has found time
however, to outline the policy of the
conduct of the assessors office for the
next two years, should he be elected,
which is certainly in conformance with
good business ideals. He pledges him

meeting with ready response on the
part of the county's voters with whom
he has met up during his cam
paign, who see IN Mr.. Cirac the en-
bodiment of the rare qualities that are
so necessary in men who would be the
executive head of this county. Our
county board directs the policy of the
county; it directs the expenditures of
all public monies, save that which is
provided for by statute, and il is with
in the province Of the county'sexecutive

Indian School Superintendent c. II.
Asbury is here and together with w.
A. Vanvorhis, the local Indian superin-
tendent, is issuing patents to the Pi-
ute allottes, who have been given
tracts in the reservation between this
place and Saltwater. Altogether near
" two hundred conditional patents
have been issued, and the work is not
yet complete. The patents provide
that the lands involved shall be held in
trust by Uncle Sam for a period Of
twenty-five years from date of issu-
ance, following which absolute title ac-
crues to the allotte or his or her heirs.
Throughout all of the negotiations Of
the government with the Churchill

passive people concurring in whatever
suggestions have been made, and no
trouble of any nature has been expert
enced in adjusting matters.

B. YOUNG.

The candidacy of J. B. Young, Dem
ocrat, for the assembly, is meeting
with great favor among the taxpayers
of the country. Mr.. Young has been
resident of this valley since the be-
ginning of work on the Truckee Car
son irrigation project. His natural
qualifications and training fit him ad.
mirabis for the position, to which he
aspires. The removal of the United
States Senatorial question from with
out the pale oil the state legislature,
makes OF the Office of assemblymsn, a
non-partisan position in most respects.
As assemblyman from Churchill coun-
ty, Mr. Young would surely be power
in the state legislature, and would
easily be one Of the house leaders. He
is a man of pleasing manners and COM
manding personality.
Mr.. Young is an old time Democrat.
He is one man that has never changed
to suit the whims of passing fancy and
is solid substantial citizen. He de-
serves the support of his party and of
every taxpayer who has the county's
interests at heart. In times past, Mr..
Young has been affiliated with various
ofthe progressive movements in this
country. He was one of the organizers

presented the case of the settlers Of

When the selection of the sheriff is
incumbent upon the electors of county
the most painstaking discrimination
should be used. The duties connected
with this Office are manifold; they in
clude the collection of large sums of
public moneys; the peace and dignity
of the county must be upheld through
the agency of the sheriff; in short, the
county's agent who would be sheriff
must combine the qualities necessary
for both executive and clerical lines
of work. Mr.. Wightman has made
highly satisfactory sheriff. His Of
fetal acts have been above reproach,
and bis claims for second term are
certainly founded on equitable grounds.
He never asked for office in his life be-
fore receiving his appointment nearly
two years ago to fill the unexpired
term of Sheriff Robert Shirley, de-
ceased, but on the contrary. he has for
many years, confined his activities to
business pursuits.
He is not man who could be swerved
from the faithful performance Of the
functions of the Office which he seeks,
and If a clean record counts, he will
surely receive majority of the votes
cast next Tuesday. His best campaign
material consists of his nearly two years
ofiici4l incumbency. Not a single in.
dictment can be found against him.
No word OF opprobrium can be raised
against his manner of handling the
affairs of the sheriff's office
