common head piece. Con repre-
scented Nevada in the electoral col
lege at Washington six years ago
when he carried the votes of the
electors and cast them for Roose-
welt. At that election he had as a
running mate Jim Butler, but as he
received the highest number of
votes, he was extended the honor
of casting them. Con was some
what troubled with a severe cold
and he made his address short.
E. E. Roberts, nominee for rep
resentative to congress, made an elo-
quent address and outlined the state
platform as recently enacted at Car
son City. Mr.. Roberts is an attorney
of ability and is we'll competent to
represent the people of Nevada in
the halls of congress. He assured
his hearers that if elected, he would
aid Senator Nixon in securing legis-
lation for this state, and pointed out
the necessity of supporting Presi-
dent Taft.
The tariff schedule has been used
in the camp of the opposition as a
strong factor on which to attack
the republican party" said the
speaker, but | will candidly admit
that it Is question of which I
know but little. 1t will generally be
found to be true, that those who
are raising the loudest cry, also
know nothing about the schedule
If elected to congress l will do my
utmost in revising the tariff as sug-
gested by President Taft. That is
to work on separate schedules and
base the tariff en- facts and figures
gathered by experts.
The tariff Is local issue in that
many of the items are of vital in
terest to Nevada. Yet with the
ever-changing conditions, it will be
almost impossible to secure a sched-
ule that will adapt itself to the en-
tire country.
During my campaign prior to the
primary election, the friendliest of
feeling existed between myself and
my opponent, and we both conduct
ed cur fights on clean lines without
the slightest mud-throwing. AS soon
as 1t was known that l had received
the nomination the first message of
congratulation came from Mr.. Doug
lass, who has the honor of being a
resident of southern Nevada. In
the present campaign l will conduct
my fight along the same lines. 1t
is true that the opposition have
from time to time attacked the diff
ferent republican candidates, but up
to date these attacks have only been
of a trivial nature and are not wor-
Thy of being answered. One of the
attacks has been that Senator Nixon
10 wealthy man. Is IL Il CTlUl6 10
be wealthy? Is it a crime to be
honest and just? Senator Nixon ac-
CURED his wealth in Nevada. He
started in this state as a telegraph
operator at the princely monthly
wage of $55, and now he is attacked
because he has attempted to better
the conditions in Nevada. There is
not man who can say that he has
failed to fulfill the trust reposed in
him by the public. His record
stands for itself and the good he
has wrought can be noticed in many
sections of this territory. While it
Is a good proposition of give and
take in the senatorial chambers at
Washington, every time that Senator
Nixon has given anything in the
matter of trading, he has always ac-
quired victory for Nevada"
John w. Legate, present clerk of
the suprem court and a candidate
for reelection, made a few remarks
on behalf of his own candidacy, af-
ter Mr.. Brown had, in the intro
duction, impressed the gathering of

In a way compares to the Office of
