NEWLANDs' ELECTION is VITAL

The Herald takes leasure today in calling the attention of the
people OF this state to the fact that Francis G. Newlands OF Washoe
county is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States
senator. His announcement will be found occupying space in the proper
department. OF this paper.
Hon. Francis G. Newlands needs II o introduction to the people OF
Nevada He is known by the majority of them and those who have not
met him personally know him by his acts and achievements. Not only
is he known in Nevada, but nationally he is a prominent figure. First
Senator Neu1ands served the people OF the state in the lower house
that he has represented Nevada in Washington he has gradually gained
the esteem Of men high in the councils of all political parties and few
men are better known nationally than he. For many years he has
occupied chairmanshps OF some OF TIL o important committees d
the senate, and his long service has made him very familiar with every
phase OF national legislation until today his counsel is sought by mn
at the head OF national affairs
Senator Newlands has served Nevada well and faithfully. All the
attempts of the Republican press OF this state to beitte him but served
to make him stronger with the people he represents. Senator Newlands
is too big a man to be affected by the vituperaive utterances OF
those who canno control him. In again entering upon the senatorial
the terrific effort that will be made to disodge him. Not only Will many
OF the Republicans of this state ndeavor to defeat him, III n nahon"l
Republican forces will be arrayed against him in the effort to regain con-
troll OF the upper house, and defeat the Democratic party rom extending
to the people the relief they have been demanding for many years.
For the reason that Nevada is considered a doubtful state, the Nahona
Republican committee will undoubtedly make a great effort to elect 4
senator here.
But the people cannot afford to take the chances OF such a calamity.
Senator Newlands should be returned to the national Legislature by 8 y
of Nevada and his position in national lii are appreciated by IN
people. Nevada cannot afford at this time to experiment with any un-
known and untned material. 1t lust properly protect its interest,",
have in the United States nate a gentleman who has the experience
electing Hon. Farncis G. Newlands. The Herald has always attemptei
to work for the best interest OF this state and it would re derehct IL
its duty if it did not extend every honorable effort in behalf ot senator
Newlands.
Let the Democrats of Nevada get sondly behind him. Let any little
jealousies and misunderstanding be forgotten and let them give him the
consideration to which he is entitled. Nevada cannot afford tic have him
defeated. Just at this time his experience and ability would be a great
asset in behalf OF the state. Nevada would make herself ridiculous in
the eyes of the nation by his defeat. 1t is up to the Democrats OF this
state, aided by those broad-gauged Republicans who have the welfare OF
the state at heart, to stand solidly with Senator Newlands in this crisis
