THE BOY WHO CAN DREAM.

II is a good thing for the farmer
boy to have an imagination. 1t is a
good thing for him to dream dreams
and see visions. II takes a dreamer
to see the Transformation that IN
telligent effort will bring to pass on
the old place. 1t takes a dreamer to
see how much more desirable that
place will be in ten years than a job
In a dry goods store.
1t Is the boy who dreams who sees
a field of thrifty alfalfa where that
stunted yellow corn Is growing on the
timbered forty. II Is the boy who
dreams who sees those hungry look
ing cows with burrs In their tails
replaced by a herd of dairy matrons
that tax the capacity OF the milk
cans at every milking. 1t is the boy
who dreams who sees a waving corn

c. W. DICKINSON, CANDl-
DATE FOR ASSEMBLYMAN

The friends of the a~bove-named,
and they are many. seldom think of
him as Charles Wesley. Little
Dick is the common and intimate
monnicker by which he Is known,
although there is nothing little about
Little Dick" excepting the nick
name. Thus introduced be it furth-
er known that the subject of this
sketch is a democrat and a regular
nominee for assemblyman.
Charles w. Dickinson was born in
Kansas City, Mo-, May 80, 1888, and
received his education in Denver,
Colo. Soon after completing his
school course, he came to Ely, where
he has won the confidence of his EN-
ployers and the esteem of his fellow
citizens. Since locating here he has
held a responsible position with the
Ely Lumber and Coal company. He
has been active in politics and in
1871 was elected city clerk. In this
position he has made good, and it
is predicted that should he be sent
to the general court, he would make
a record satisfactory to his constit-
uents. Little Dick" is known as
somewhat of a hustler. and it would
not be "a great surprise If he landed
the honor of being elected to the as
sembly. 1t is argued that as he has
identified himself with the best in
terests of Ely, he would be a safe
and sane man to send TO the general
court. In this brief notice it seems
not out of place to state that since
taking up his residence in this dis.
triet, he chose an Ely girl for his
wife, uniting in marriage October
10. 1903, with Ann Elizabeth Lins.

EMMETT ID. BOYLE, DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

Emmett ID. Boyle who is seeking
the governorship ON the democratic
ticket, is a native of Virginia City,
Nevada, and is SO years old. And
from the time he first saw the light
of day. the thirty-six years have been
busy ones. He graduated from the
University of Nevada with the class
of SO, and since that time his uni
versity education has been augme mt
ed by much practical experience in
the great school of life. In British
Columbia he was head of the en-
~gineering department at the lie Roy
mine and from this position in the far
northwest he went south to Mexico
to take charge of the under ground
workings of the Esperanza mine.
But the state of his nativity appeal
ed to him and he returned to Reno
in 1903 and took up his profession
of mining engineer. continuing in
this until 1909. when he accepted the
appointment of state engineer. Sub

A. l.. HAIGHT, REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE FOR DISTRICT JUDGE

Andrew l.. Haight, regular repub-
lican nominee for district Judge, has
practiced law in Ely, since August,
1909, and is prominently known
among the attorneys of White Pine
county. With the decision of Judge
Coleman to enter the race for SUI
preme court honors and precipitating
a contest for Judge of the ninth judi
cial district court, Mr.. Haight decid-
ed to become a candidate and was
nominated on the republican ticket.
Although a young man, Mr.. Haight
has a thorough legal education and is
considered amply qualified for the
j~udgeship. He is a native of Ed
more, Mich where he was born
July IT, 1884. After graduating
from the public schools of Michigan,
In 1890, he attended for two years
the Ferris Institute at Big Rapids.
Mich, and read law in Hancock,
Mich, and Chicago, Ill. In 1907 he
was admitted to the bar by the SUI
preme court of Nevada. and i'm
mediately started practice in Ely.
Two years later he associated in the
law business with Charles A. Walker,
and the co-partnership still con
tinues.
Mr.. Haight has taken a prominent
part in the political affairs of the re-
publican party. and in the campaign
of 1912 was elected to the assembly,
where his ability was at once
recognized in the deliberations of the
legislative body. He is a member of
the board of directors having in
charge Neyada's exhibit at the Pana-
ma-Pacifc and Panama-California
expositions, having been appointed
by Governor Oddie, in May 1918.

FRED VI. CLARK, CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR.

Ii was gratifying to the friends of
Fred N. Clark, that he decided to be
a candidate on the republican ticket
for the Office of county assessor. AS
a busy business man Mr.. Clark has
had so many other matters to at
tend to that for a number of years
his attention to politics has mainly
been in the consideration of some
one else's candidacy, although he
has kept in close touch with county
aud city business affairs.
Mr.. Clark is a native of Columbia
Falls, Maine. and migrated from that
state to Frisco, Utah, in 1881. His
first employment after coming west
was with the Horn Silver Mining
company. In 1885 he located al
Taylor, Nevada. and became identi-
fed with the G.. S. King a Company
drug business. Later he purchased
the store, and in 1895 opened the
first drug business In Ely. He Is
therefore in point of residence, an
old-timer in Ely, and a pioneer bust
ness man. During this time he has
been actively interested and an in
fiuential factor in the business and
civic life of the district. In 1903 he
was elected to the legislature, serv-
ing one term. Four years later
found him in Ely's first mayorality
contest. He was elected by the larg-
est vote ever cast for that Office. and
as the city's first mayor filled the po-
sition with credit and ability.
Mr.. Clarke wide acquaintance and
