Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1912-10-14
Democratic Nominee for Assembly
Is Entitled to Good Words
and Many Votes

The Appeal does not like to take
undue advantage or to give praise OF
publicity where it does not belong
bus to-day we are going to take adj
vantage that and also give little
merited praise and warranted pub
licity
am doing this at this time be-
cause it will probably be my only
opportunity as the City Editor is not
on the job to-day, being occupied out
o ftown with business matters Of his
own.
Practically everyone in thi, vicin
ity is aware that ii. r. (Hal) Nigh
els, regular Democratic nominee for
the Assembly from this county. has
been holding down the job as City
Editor of The Appeal for the past
two years, and at this time il might
be we'll to state that, contrary to the
opinion OF a few, Mr. Mighels has no
connection with The Appeal, except
in the capacity in which he is en-
ployed and in all respects Is the san.e
as any other employee OF the office.
Being employed as he is on the
only Democratic paper in this dis
trict and at the same time being
Democratic nominee for the Assem-
bly,. his awkward position in this re-
spcct is readily realized. y othina
can be published in this paper i'll his
behalf without it naturally being pre-
sumed that he wrote the articles for
himself, consequently nothing has
been said in his favor or mis- position
defined. To-day. however, he is not
in this Office and | assume the liberty
of saying few truthful words in his
behalf, both as a worker and as a
candidate for Member OF the As
sembly
For the past two years he has
faithfully devoted considerable OF hi,
time. energy and ability i'll this Oh
fee to boosting every citizen. every
business and every cause wherein he
saw the least plausible reason for a
boost, and on this alone he is entitl-
ed to a little boost himself.
In the first instance | will stale
without fear OF contradiction, that he
has accomplished more within the
past year than any other man in |
Ormsby County and possibly in the |
State OF Nevada.
Within the past year he purchased
and taken possession OF 40 acres OF |
sagebrush desert land north OF this |
city, without fencing or improve
ments of any kind whatever With !
out any means he went to work re
claiming that piece OF land. He hrst !,
built fence around it alone and un- !
aided. with his own hands and alone /
off eight acres OF sage |
brush. burned it and cleared the land
ready for the plow Then he seeded |
il 70 rye and grass and harvested as
GOOD \ crop as possible under the
and dry-iarminS con
ditions. He laid cement tounda-
tion for a six-room concrte bunga-
low 3Ox4O feet. did all the hauling OF
sand, etc for the entire JOB |
with blackboard and only one
horse. He then proceeded, alone, to
Law the walls OF concrete blocks. 40
mo the labor himself and without
experience in this line Oh
work. until at this time the nine-foot
walls are all but completed and about
ready for the roofing. Beside this he
dug 10-foot well. now containing
forr feet OF water, planted shade ana
fruit trees and carried water all dur
no the summer to keep them alive
md growing.
All of this great amount OF WORK
,as been accomplished absolutely
,;tbout assistance, and at the same
;,n. !, must be remembered that ne
was putting in full time every day at I
,;s work in this Office. All OF the r
york on his new home he performed I
n the mornings, while many OF us t
we're asleep, at night until long al
er dark and on Sundays. He work
