The principal address was made by
Senator Newlands who made one of
the most logical and convincing spea-
ches ever heard in this city. He re-
viewed his actions during the time
he has been in the senate of the
United States and gave good ac-
count of everything he has done since
he has been member of that great
body. His speech showed plainly that
he has done everything in his power
to forward the welfare of his consti-
tuents in this state and that his ac-
tions have always been characterized
by honesty and fearlessness for the
cause he thinks is right He was re-
ceived with cheers and numbers left

were formerly against the Senator. 1t
was victory for him in every way
and the democrats of this city are
delighted that Mr. Newlands has had
the opportunity of enlightening
number of people in Elko and Elko
county in regard to his actions in the
Senate. There is no doubt now as to
hoY the senator stands with the
people Of Elko county, and as far as
that goes, how the whole ticket stands
1t looks like to the most pessimistic
democrat, that the county is going
Stronger democratic than it has ever
gone in the past.
Short addresses were made by the
other members of the party and
spirit of optimism pervad-
ed the speeches of the candidates
as well as their listeners and there
is no doubt in the minds of anyone
today as to how the election is going
in November. 1t will be an old time
democratic victory, one which will
eclipse the victories of the party in
any state according to population.
The party left for Carlin this after
noon by auto and will hold a meeting
there tonight which promises to be
another rousing meeting. Arrange
ments have been made to give them
another big reception at that place
when they arrive there.

though tailenders, the Honeymak

will fight desperately for the
