KEY PITTMAN, of Nye County, in this issue of the Appeal
pubhcally announces his candidacy for United States Senator.
Mr.. Pntman two years ago campaigned this state for the Sena-
torship. In this battle he met George $. Nixon. In spite of
the fact that the Democrats elected a joint ballot Legislative
ticket, yet Mr.. Nixon was sent to the Senate, as Mr.. Pttman
had agreed to the popular selection by the voters. This is his
creed. This fall he will come before the people and asked to be
sent to the United States Senate. In doing s. he will make It
campaign on State issues ana National affairs. He will also be
guided by the preferential or popular vote and expects his OPP
ponent to be on the ticket with the same agreement with the
people.
Since Mr.. Pittman first appeared before the people of this
State he has become better acquainted. His speech at FallOn
placed him in the front ranks as an orator and a statesman. He
is in every way qualified for the position and his holdings and
possessions are in Nevada. He is recognized as of Nevadas
ablest lawyers, and his keen mind and great vigOr are assets
that would be of great value to this state.
He is Il lifelong Democrat, has worked in the harness.

will make his campaign for Senator from this State. The Dem
ocrats have real timber in presenting his name to the VOTERS.

had no candidates. leaving that entirely to the people, but at the
same time believes, and without exception, every person with
whom we have conversed on the matter thinks the ticket named
by the News would have been chosen if that paper had played
square and left the choice to the citizens at the meeting which
had been called for the purpose. The News killed its own ticket
A prominent Republican of this county in talking rational
ally of the National political situation, stated that unless Ted
DIV was pulled out of the fight both he and Taft Were heated.
That tells the entire story. Neither Taft nor the Colonel will
pull ont of the fight and the Democrats should win hands down.
TAFT has gone. off by himself for a few days to either write
his letter of acceptance or to notify the National Republican
Committee that he has decided not to run. It makes very little
difference which letter he concludes to indict.
