and where there is not mud throw
ing, there is dust kicking for the
purpose of binding the voters to
the real issues before them.
These shall be series of articles
dealing with the republican candi-
dates on the state ticket. 1t shall
be attempted to place before the
readers of this paper a clear and
definite understanding of their re-
spective personalities, capabilities
and qualifications for the offices
sought. 1t will be left to others to
expound platforms and crate upon
governmental policies. To others
will be left the business of attack
ing the motives and patriotism of
the democrats-if, indeed, they are
to be attacked at all.
Service to the State
1t can be seen at a glance by
men who have resided in Nevada
for any length of time, that the
nominees on the republican ticket
this year, form a group, notable
for their genuine service to the
state of Nevada. They are willing
that the voters of the state take
their measure with the tape line of
service to the state. They invite
Judgment as to their sincerity by
past performance, both public and
private. AS to future conduct, if
elected to office, they are willing
that past performance be the guar
anty of their patriotism and zeal in
future service.
These men are of established rep
utation in this state. Individually,
they are examples of the best citi-
zenship in the communities in which
they reside. They are leading spir-
it's in local and state affairs.
George S. Nixon
The keynote of the characteristics
that mark the personality of each
candidate on the republican ticket,
is particularly dominant in the
makeup of George S. Nixon, can
didate for reelection to the Office
of United States senator. For ex-
ample, he has taken a leading part
in any and every line of private
business he has undertaken in Ne
vada. He has been in the second
class in nothing; first class in every
thing. He is tireless worker, with
judgment seemingly unerring, and
therefore a leader in whatever he
attempts to do.
He is the premier state builder
in Nevada. He has no superior in
the extent of his loyalty to the in
terests of the people of his state.
A scrutiny of his acts as member
of the senate will show his public
life as well as his private business
life, is shaping itself to accord with
his one article of faith-the prog
ress and upbuilding of Nevada. An
enthusiastic worker in the republican
ranks, he is not extensively partisan.
He looks at all questions, public
and private, with the dispassionate
appraisal of the business eye. He
has never resorted to the trick Of
the demagogue nor to SANDER an
adversary to gain an end. He never
needs to cover his trail.
His Opponests
Opposed to him we find Key Pitt
man. well known lawyer, but an
unknown quantity as to his ability
to be of service to the people of
this state in the United States SEN
ate. He is untried and improved.
He has no record to which the peo-
pie of Nevada may look for knowl-
edge of what he can or will do for
the state.
The socialist candidate, Jud Har-
~, 10 a man VI dDiiity lutC6
rity, but not widely known in Ne
vada. His party showed good judg-
ment in his selection, and while he
will poll large vote, the people of
the state cannot be expected to put
aside a well tried and capable pub
lie servant and all-round man of
affairs for a newcomer.
Tasker l.. Oddie
Tasker l.. Oddie's career is one of
the fascinating stories of Nevada.
He is one of the strongest charac-
tiers on any ticket this year. He
has been worker first and a work
er last. He has just commenced to
work. He is in his prime. Neither
success nor adversely has diminished
his faith in Nevada. At all times
and in all places in this state where
he has labored, half his effort was
for the public or community good
