ing has not caused any injury.
NV friends. before this campaign
Is over. these are but a few of the
items that the officers Will be called
on to explain to the people of Ne
vada when these men come to ask
for the votes of men at the coming
election in November.
Men say two things are certain,
death and taxes. Death is sure, but
taxes are not certain; governments
were instituted for what purpose!
Why have we a state of Nevada? Why
have we laws and a governor? Why
have we a secretary of state? Are
they not for the purpose of protecting
your property and mine and for the
purpose of disseminating education
among our people? To carry out
that great charity taught by the low
ly Nazarine? To take care of those
who ian no longer care for them
selves? As citizens of this Republic
it is your duty to contribute a por-
ton of your worldly goods for this
hallowed purpose. When you have so
contributed your money you have a
right to have 1t used honestly and
anything in excess of tina is i'm
properly expended within the limits
indicated by me as the scope of state
hood and state government and II is
worse than wasted when so done.
| do not care who the governor may
be. | do not care whether 1t be
Massey or somebody else. Your duty
Is to square yourself and your con-
cience by voting for the man in state
government hal will give to you the
highest ideal that you may entertain
of the great prerogative OF govern
ment without wasting your mean or
taking from your children and from
your wives that which you ought to
keep at home. Vote this ideal, carry
this ideal into your homes when you
vote on Tuesday September the sixth
and on Tuesday the eighth day of
November vote for the men that
nearly carry out these ideals; because
| tell you the governor of this state
Is simply your servant and your
agent. You have delegated to him
for a short period of time your rights
and the power to carry out the gov
eminent for the protection of those
rights-he Is your servant. He takes
oath under the constitution to do his
duty and those duties are defined by
the laws and constitution of the land.
The highest civic ideal brings the
greatest good to the greatest number
at the least expense consistent with
an honest expenditure of the funds
entrusted by you to chosen ruler
that is the kind of a man you want
for governor.
Gentlemen, / am going TO say a
word about myself. 1t has been said
by Demoertic papers that | IN a ma
chine politician and a machine can
didate for the governor of this state.
If hat e that / am seeking the
Republican nomination of governor
under the primary Law as 1t directs
submitting my claims to the voters of
the people who affiliate with the
Republican party, then | am a
machine. If they mean to say
that any person has a string on me;
| do not care who il is or what the
color of his eyes or hair; If they mean
to tell you that if ] am elected the
governor of this state that will
serve private other than public in
ACItStS 4 od1 ina {udiSt Is q lit"dn
unmitigated lie and the man a liar.
My life has been an open book in this
state and | solemnly state TO you that
If / am elected governor and take the
constitutional Office | shall serve this
people to the best of my knowledge
and conscience.
The man you want as governor of
this state as its chief executive is a
man who with he conscientiousness
of what is right and with a eonscien-
&c squared to tie rule of right will
honestly discharge his duties under
his oath. who VIII protect you and
yours; protect your property and my
property, protect your family and my
family; protect your character and
execute the laws of this state without
regard to color OF eyes or hair,
whether rich or poor; giving to each
and all what he is sworn to giye-a
just administration tempering his
conduct under proper conditions with
the oppressed and never forgetting
that arrogant wealth must bow its
head to the will of the people If
you believe me that kind of a man
vote for me and If not d. not vote for
me.
In conclusion | want to say that II
! am chosen by the Republican party
and by the votes of this state as its
chief executive | shall know no
private interests. ! shall be swayed by
no personal interests; / shah bring toI
the Office the best that is In me. III I
make mistakes they will be of the
head and not of the heart. And one
thing ] promise. there will be no ex-
travagant legislation taking money
out OF your pockets to pile up in the
state treasury. Whatever the result of
the nomination and election may be
l shall bow to the will of the people
for under Democratic and Republican
form of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
forms of government, the viii of the
majority must rule.
My friends | only hope for you and
your people and your children the
