TONOPAH. New, June 1S.-With the
publication today of the candidacy OF
charles H. Mcintosh of this place for
democratic Endorsement for United
States senator at the September pri-
maries, the race for the toga of
Nevada.s junior senator, George S.
Nixon. which will be reassigned by the

his residence at the National capital

con9olidated mining company Which
led the mining boom a few years ago
in the southern desert His record IN

ence to standpat policies under lhe

democrats believe they see a good
chance to deprive him of his tOga-
Nixon's only rival for republican in
dorsement appears TO be Harry '.
MorehOuse, who while he has not
openly taken the field. has intimated
his intention of getting into the race.
Morehouse formerly, mixed in politics
in California to a considerable extent.
To his activity has been attributed the
defeat of the senatorial aspirations OF
Dan Burns and the subsequent disrup-
tion of the Burns machine. The hgRSH
recalls the rs day senatorial deadlock
of the California legislature in 1899
when Burns and U. S. Grant Jr held
the fort against each other until ad-
journment. A special session was
called to end the dispute in 1900 and
Thomas r. Bard went to the national
senate, following a compromise. More
house displayed no great strength
himself. but the Burns faction charged
up a large part of it's defeat TO his
obstinacy.

preme bench is McIntosh's democratic

made public some weeks ago. So far

lists against him.

made public today. Mcintosh lauds the
reclamation campaign, which has been
the hobby of Nevada's senior senator.
Francis J. Newlands. also a democrat.
He pledges his cooperation in the
event of his election To conciliate the
labor vote, which is strong in south
ern Nevada, he declares against gov
ernment by injunction and for cOmpUl-
sorry arbitration of labor disputes. On
conservation he stands for state con-
troll as opposed to national, which is a
popular attitude, quite naturally, in a
mining community.
AS an attorney as well as politician
Mcintosh expresses repugnance 10 the
federal law which permits foreign cor
porations access TO the federal courts
and favors it's immediate repeal. His
definition of his position concludes
with declaration for direct primary
and direct election of United States
senators and the usual party loyalty
pledges.
Mcintosh is a pioneer OF the south
ern Nevada mining region, having come
to Tonopah in it's early days. He has
been prominent in democratic political
affairs of this section and his entry
into the senatOroiaI race is applauded
by his democratic friends.
