past years in selecting a legislative
ticket and in this connection it may
be well to remember that this coun-
ty has lost heavily by the neglect.
In naming a legislative ticket the
republicans endeavored to secure
men who were qualified for the Of
flee, and who would labor for the
interests OF this county.
Edward p. Wilson, one Of the can
didates for state senator, needs no
introduction to the people OF Nye
county. Two years ago Mr., Wilson
was elected to the assembly and
during the brief term he served
with honors His knowledge of leg
islatiye procedure was Of great value,
beth TO himself and to his colleagues,
and at all times he could be found
laboring for the passage OF meas
ures he believed to be right and
Just. He paid strict attention to his
duties and could be found at his
desk at every session, In submit
ting his candidacy for reelection
Mr. Wilson stands squarely upon
his record of two years ago and

Kenneth j. Booth, also a candidate
for state senator There being two

he was honored by his colleagues
I by being elected to the office OF
speaker pro TEN of that body As

he candidly announced that his pas,
record was a blank Throughout tn
term Mr.. Booth worked untiringll
for the passage of measures thai
would benefit Nye county, and strong
ly opposed those which he thought
detrimental to this county. He tool
a decisive stand on every measure
that came up for passage and never
sought to excuse his actions by
apologizing. Frequently he voted
by himself and the journal of the
assembly will show that severa
hat N
against, as the case happened 4
be.
Neither Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Boot
have made an extended campaign
for the office they seek, owing t
the lack of a first class financia
hacker. However. reports from va
rious sections of the county stat
that friends and supporters Of tn
two senatorial candidates are work
ing in great numbers to secure thei
election.
There will be five candidates cleo
ed to the assembly. The republica
