auto and overlook the driver near
the stream. 1t was impossible for
offering to carry the driver, waded
through the waters with him. AS
a consequence he secured the vote
of that party and his friends.
few happenings of the pioneer
days of Tonopah were related and
wild cheering ensued when the
speaker had completed his address.
Mr.. j. A. Buchanan, who is one
of the Republican candidates for
the nomination of assemblyman of
Nye county, and who accompanied
the governor on the trip, was intro
duced by Mr.. Bowler. Buck was
given cheer of recognition OF his
own candidacy he said nothing, and
in masterful speech paid tribute
to Oddie. He spoke of the success
of the campaigning which contained
many hardships not related by Mr..
Oddie, and which necessitated trav-
cling night and day.
Mr.. Buchanan announced that
Hon. Dave Staunton, the old Repub-
lican warhorse of Winnemucca, had
sent challenge to Tonopah to. make
Oddie's election unanimous; Winne-
mucca would go unanimous for Od-
die, and from the cheer that re-
sponded there is no doubt but what
Tonopah will follow suit.
Mr.. Buchanan told of an incident
which happened yesterday afternoon
out on the desert about fifty miles
from nowhere A young dog was
observed near the road, and as he
was miles and miles from water, he
would have died from thirst in
short time. The party was in
hurry for Mr.. Oddie had an engage
ment to meet party on the road,
| who was to depart today for another
camp
We will stop the machine.
Buck, he said, ''and get that dog"
IF we stop you will not be in
time to keep that engagement" re-
sponeded Buchanan.
To hell with the engagement;
this means saving life and ac-
cordingly Oddie dismounted, and
after a short walk captured the
ownerless and dying dog.
"And that shows what kind of a
man Mr.. Oddie happens to be- said
Buchanan in closing. Naturally the
crowd went wild again. Mr.. Buch-
anan's 13-year-old son accompanied
the party and showed himself to be
the nerviest, gamest boy in Ne
vada, as he never once complained
of the hardships he had undergone
Hon. Hugh H. Brown, the Repub-
lican candidate for attorney general,
was the next to place his feet on the
cushioned seat of the auto and he
paid fitting tribute to Oddie.
They say that Oddie can't say
no. said Mr. Brown. "I will ad-
NIT that there are few little
things in which he can't say no.
The prospector after a grubstake, or
a friend after a loan have never
appeled to him in vain, as is we'll
known in southern Nevada. Tono-
pah is indebted to him for his eff
forts in building up this city, for
his interests have been first, last
and all the time, for the betterment
and advancement of this community.
Continuing, Mr.. Brown spoke of
his own candidacy and about his re-
futal of several misstatements made
against him. Every individual, ev-
cry corporation, seeking my services
and my loyalty has been given the
best that was in me, and if elected
attorney general the pay of my eli
ents will cease and l will give the
state the best | have. l will be sub
servient to no interests but will fight
your battles and carry your bur-
dens,' he said in conclusion and
retired amid a great ovation.
The open air meeting was brought
to close with a few remarks by
w. w. Booth, candidate for state
printer on the Republican ticket.
IL was the greatest meeting ever
held in Tonopah and the welcom,
