Then came ". W. Booth, 1.-The

tant republican who was always
lighting the battles of his commun-
ity." as he was introduced by the
speaker. There were greetings of
Hello. Bill" from all sides of the
hall as he arose. and as the demon
stration continued he blushed like
a 16-year-old school girl (this

developed into a speaker during his
absence and his wonderful bursts of
oratory proved really surprising.
Il can assure you one and all,

man on the ticket for many years,
and to my mind the voters at the
primary election selected the strong
est, and at the same time selected a
winning bunch. Senator Nixon and
myself were acquainted years ago
and at that time he had to cook
his own meals. He was fairly
good cook, but every time he invited
me to eat with him he would burn
the beans.

Then came ovation No. 2.
When introducing Senator Nixon,
the last speaker of the evening, the
chairman stated that not only had
he helped to build the state Of Ne
vada, but had helped to build Tono-
pah. He was a true Nevadan and
while criticized by the opposition
for failing to do things, 1t had
never been shown that he had be-
trayed the trust reposed in him. AS
a matter of fact he had done things.
Tonopah would stand by him and
heartily endorsed his candidacy.
Senator Nixon received an ovation
equal to those rendered the other
candidates and it was noticed that
he had the attention of his hearers
before he was fairly started on his
address. 1t was one of those heart
to heart talks and his statements
We're easily understood. He defined
his position with regard to the tar

each and every vote was for the in
terest of Nevada. Take the wool
schedule. for instance. Wool is one
of the principal items that affects
Nevada, in that many thousands of
dollars are at stake by the sheep
men in the eastern part of the
state. Should the tariff have been
revised downward on this item, Ne
vada would have been the loser.
The sugar question was also an i'm
portant one. Nevada now has

work of the government reclama-
ton service. Of which more will be
said later, has proved that the soil
in many sections of this state, is Pc
culiarly adapted to the raising Of
sugar beets. 1t is my opinion that
the next few years will witness the
construction of several additional
sugar refineries. Had the tariff been
lowered on sugar, Nevada would
have been the loser and I repre-
sented the state as was my duty, to
protect those who are interested
here.
THE lead schedule, ON which
about dozen votes were taken, was
also supported by me, for lead and
silver mining is quite an important
factor in Nevada. The press Of the
