Qennltely and cOncluSlVeiy answered
by the following letters, which were
received by Mr.. Oddie from mon
whose character and integrity are
beyond question. These men are
well known to many Nevadars. |
They are men who, knowing Oddie's
character through former business
dealings with him. feel justly proud
of the honor done him by his Ne
vada constituents.
Since Mr.. Oddie's election at the
primaries his friends everywhere in
the United States have voluntarily
: stepped forward to help him finan-
cially. In Tonopah, and through
; out the state, he has received an
: avalanche of letters from his admir-
ers, each and every one of which
contained the writer's assurances of
: loyal support, together with money
which they we'll knew he was sore
: ly in need of 70 prosecute his cam
: paign.
81 Right here in our camp, miners,
: business and professional men, re-
gardless of political beliefsaye
and host of ladies also, have been
happy donors to the Oddie campaign
fund.
Every day groups of men are
heard talking 'on street corners, dis
: cussing in reminiscent manner,
the character of Tasker l.. Oddie.

We take pleasure in quoting from
a letter sent this paper by forme
III school-boy friend of Oddie's, whicl
will illustrate in what esteem he |
held. The letter comes from New
