WINGFIELD DECLINES HONOR
Nevada Mining Man Refuses TO Ae-
eept Appointment TO Senate Be-
cause of Business Interests.

Reno, Nev.-In a letter addressed to
Governor Tasker l.. Oddie of Nevada,
George Wingfield on Monday de.
clined the appointment of United
States senator to succeed the late
Senator George S. Nixon. Wingfield
states that after giving the matter due
consideration he has come to the con-
clusion that he can best serve the
state by continuing as the active head
of the business interests with which
he is identified.
MY survey of the wide field of
thought" says Mr.. Wingfield in his
letter to the governor. which your
tender of this office thus opened has
led me to the conclusion that | cannot
accept this great office at the present
time, in justice to the state, to its
people or to myself
Mr.. Wingfield calls attention to the
fact that while the industries of Ne
vada are few in number, it requires
men of experience to make taem sue
cessful, and continues by saying that
the satisfactory performance of the
duties of senatorship may be found
in many directions, but the develop
ment of the industries of an empire
OF 10000 square miles is reserved to
few"
Were he to accept the appointment
| rendered, Mr. Wingfeld states that he
could not serve the state in the capac.
| ity of senator without being absent
from its borders most of the time
For this reason he finds it impossible
to accept.
w. A. Massey, former chief justice
of the supreme court of Nevada and a
present practicing attorney of Reno
has been rendered and has accepted
the appointment of senator from Ne
vada. This was announced by Mr.
Massey Monday evening.
Senator Massey is one of the
staunchest Republicans in the state
and was defeated by Governor Oddi'
two years ago at the primaries for th'
Republican gubernatorial nomination
Although Wingield. whose wealth i
estimated to be in the neighborhoot
of $4,000. 900. declined the appoint
ment, stating that business reasons oc
cupied his entire time, 1t is believes
that he declined the appointment II
order that he might be a candidate
against Senator Francis J. Newlands
Democrat, two years hence.
