SENATOR MASSEY.

United States Senator Massey from Nevada by
appointment of Governor Oddie is before the people
this election for the popular vote to authorize the
Legislature to elect him Senator for the balance of
the term.
The appointment OF Judge Massey Senator by
the Governor was one OF the best things Mr. Oddie
has done during his administration
And it did not take long for Senator Massey to-
show the other members of the Senate where he
stood also for him gain their respect and esteem.
Senator Massey is on several of the most important
committees in the Senate and has been shown favo.s
never before conferred member of that
BODY This could not be if he was not deserving.
He has already made mark i'll the Cpper House
that could not be reached by such man Key Pitt
man. if he should be chosen fill that responsible
office for the balance OF his natural life
Senator Massey is gentleman: scholar: a
profound student OF the law man of great rsearch
learned in the of the country and what are for
her best interests and able to express himself in a
manner which carries conviction OF his earnestness
and correctness OF judgment. He is man who
would have peer i'll that august body of states
men who would be listened to any subj ect upon
which he might take issue and whose respect and l.
miration would be had by even those who might be
vigorously opposed to him IN political way.
Nevada has been fortunate in the men whom
she has sent to the United States Senate. She has
had such men as Jones. Stewart, Nixon and-New-
lands All have been credited with ability equal to
that OF the representatives sent by any other State
especially the three former mentioned Massey
would rank with these and possibly above any
OF them with the exception o the late m. NJ. Stew
art Then think OF sending such man as Pittman
10 represent the Battle-born Silver State in the
United States Senate.
Yet they tell us that number OF Republicans
are supporting Mr. I'ttman. What Tor For prom
Uses that he has made them of federal Positions Or
is it simply grudge against some friend Of Senator
Massey?
The Times is for Colonel Roosevelt for Presi-
dent Senator Massey is TAFT supporter. but the
Times takes pleasure in advocating the election OF
Senator Massey. 1t also deplores the fact that
Roosevelt supporters had the foresight to keep
any other candidate for Y. S Senator out OF the
fight who might in any way jeopardze the chances
of Senator Masseys election.
There is satisfaction in knowing, how
ever that the Roosevelt going to support
Senator Massey and also Congressman Roberts for
reelection If such a thing could be done those who
are running third for these positions should be
pulled out OF the contest and Massey and Roberts
given a clear field in which to battle with their Dem
ocratc opponents.
