when such a senator enters the ante-room of one of the com

When Senator Pitman asked leave to separate himself from
those important duties at Washington and hasten to Nevada in
order to lend his support ito his colleague in the senate can We
not hear the vice president of the United States and presiding
PLATT?
When. during the week. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the in
Newlands needed help and asking that the secretary come at
good people hear Lane saying ever sc plainly "MR. PLATT?
WHO is MIR. TLATT?
When the attorney general of the un,ed States received word
asking for permission to Use VIM. WOODBURY.. Jr, United States
district attorney for Nevada, N the stump in behalf of Senator
Newlands; when the distinguishes attorney general got word
asking that A. B. Gray. United States marshal for Nevada. be

Indians, this for the purpose of putting him to the hard work
of getting ut a sheet of type favoring the election of New
lands. all of us hear these words ringing from the mouth of
the attorney general. Great God! MIR. PLATT: WHO is MIR.
PLATT?
When Clay Tallman, commissioner of the land office at Wash
ington, received word a short time ago to come to Nevada IS the
opposition to Newlands by the common people of Nevada was be-
coming overwhelming. W "a hear the former Tonopah attorney
saying to his secretary. "MR. PLATT? 1t seems to me I have
heard that name before"
And these gentlemen at Washington are going to hear it again,
And Senator Newlands wonders rs to the why and wherefore of
this opposition to him. He seems to wonder why the people
of Nevada do not applaud him as they do President Wilson. The
eaSOn Or h major portion of III opposition to him is tnat 1t is
the way of the people of the west that they do not like to be
bamboozed. If Senator Newlands would come here and live
here as did Senator Nixon and spend some of his means here in
an endeavor to develop the state; if he would do IS others are
doing whose names come quickly to minds. he wouldn't have
to pull all the powers-poitical powers-in this country OF ours
to have a fair show for reelection. The people of Nevada are
appreciative, but they want the genuine article. And that again
is the way of the people of the west-and they are not going to
be fooled all the time. Twenty-Five years is quite long enough.
And If, in the senate of the United States, Francis G. New
lands has worked with and voted with the administration, his
right to snuggle up under the wing of Woodrow Wilson would
be questioned by no one.
The band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light
Did we hear the question, "WHO is PLATT?" They ire cheer
ing Sam Patt in Nevada today. Senator Newlands.
