Will H. Harkins, Independent candi-
date for Justice of the Peace OF Las
Vegas township, has during the past
two years proven a conscientious JUS
tice and has conducted the affairs OF
that office in a manner deserving the
commendation of all. In his decisions
he has been fair and just to all parties
and whether the parties in the case
have been rich or poor, influential
politicians or otherwise, each man has
been treated with strict impartiality.
In the recent gambling cases Judge
Harkins has shown that he is fearless
and stands for the enforcement of the
law and for better conditions in our
community. The duty placed upon
MIN was by no means a pleasant one
but he met the situation in a manful
straight forward way which is deserv'
ing of commentator by lovers of jus
tice and fair play. 1t is the urgent re-
quest of Judge Harkins that any citizen
who cares to investigate his record dc
so. His office Is always open and any
person will receive the most courteous
assistance. Those who stand for fair
play should stand for Will Harkins al

Roberts For Treasurer

W. l. Roberts, Republican nomi-
nee for County Treasurer, has DEM
onstrated his fitness for that position
by his business record since coming
to Las Vegas. During the past four
years he has, by his spirit of accom-
mediation and untiring efforts, built
from a small beginning one of the
most substantial business houses in
Las Vegas and established a flour
ishing branch in Goodsprings.
He possesses IN a high degree the
qualities which would make good
and efficient county official and is
receiving unsolicited assurances OF
support wherever he goes. The nomi-
nation came to him without any ef-
fort on his part and Republicans gen
orally hail him as a winner.

At stated intervals it is our privilege
and our duty to elect our national,
state and county officers. Tuesday,
November the 7th, 1916. is the day
set this year for the exercise of our
franchise.
As candidate for the Office of
County Commissioner from the Las
Vegas commissioner district. my plat
form is short and simple, yet covers the
whole ground:
FOR GOOD SCHOOLS, Fer GOOD
ROADS, AND FOR GOOD COUNTY
GOVERNMENT.
By Good Schools l mean the best
educational school, built up and main
tanned on economical lines.
When | say Good Roads, l mean
roads constructed on the lines OF per-
NANCY, l mean that system of road
building should be adopted and followed
that will make every citizen and tax
payer of the county feel that the taxes
they pay for road purposes is sure,
permanent and profitable investment
BY Good Government l mean the
enforcement of good wholesome laws to
the end that each citizen may point
with pride to the Civic Government of
our county.
To accomplish the results is largely
the work of the Board Of County Com
missioners of our county. They are
the governing board of our county
affairs. They have the supervision
over every county officer as to details
and expense. The prosperity and
building up of our county to great ex-
tent is in their hands. Ii they are ex-
trayagant and careless in the manag-
ment of county funds, they thereby in
crease taxation to such an extent as to
keep capital and labor from our county.

Mccarthy. Assessor

Charles E. Mccarthy was elected
to the office of County Assessor two
years ago, and by strict application
and the hardest and most conscien-
tious kind of work, has placed the
affairs of the Assessors Office in the
best possible condition.
During this two years the amount
of work in this Office has increased
enormously over that of previous
years. The law of 1915 gave to the
Nevada Tax Commission general su-
pervision of the entire revenue sys-
tenn of the state Under the orders
of the commission a vast amount OF
work involving classifications, valua-
tions and statistics was thrust upon
Assessor Mccarthy and he has met
the emergency fully prepared by
training and experience to carry out
the work in excellent shape.
Aside from the volume of routine
work, Mr.. Mccarthy has put in much
time and effort in bringing the prop
er amount of bullion taxes to the
treasury, and it is worth remember
ing that in 1915 Mr.. Mccarthy in
creased the bullion tax collections by
$4,000 and in 1916, up to the pres
est record of any previous year. This
means that less money need be raised
by direct taxation. He has also in
stalled an excellent system of hand
| ling the business of the Office and nu-
merous labor saving devices.
An important feature of Mr.. Nc
Carthy's official record is the able
| manner in which he represented
Clark county's interests before the
State Board of Equalization and pre-
vented raises in valuations which
would have materially increased our
proportion of the state taxes
| Mr. Mccarthy has been resident
of this county for ten years and be-
| came familiar with property in every
section while following his profes-
sion of civil engineer and surveyor
His experience and technical knowl
| edge are invaluable to the county
Not the least important point is thai
during all his residence here Mr.. Nc
Carthy has been a property owner
and taxpayer.

ments are not made and good laws en-
forced then investors and labor will not
come to our county.
However if they pursue a policy call
ing for reasonable tax levy and spend
the money properly in the needed i'm
provements, with the least amount OF
overhead charges, the result will be an
increase in our population and an in
crease in our county's wealth.
Good Schools, Good Roads and Good
County Government in any community
invites and gets good investments and
good class OF labor.
The Board of County Commissioners
are the officers of our county who are
directly responsible to Us for the hand
ling of county business. Finally they
are the agents that you have elected to
look after your interest in all county
matters.

John {. Emerson

John E. Emerson of Searchlight,
the Republican nominee for county
commissioner (short term), has ey-
cry quality which goes to make a
good county official. During the years
of his residence in Searchlight, he
has been honored with the trust and
confidence of the people tc an un-
usual degree. The name of john
Emerson stands for honesty and eff
ficiency, and his kindly personal
qualities have attached to him a host
of loyal friends who are giving him
enthusiastic support in his campaign.
Mr. Emerson and the people OF
Searchlight believe that it is only
fair that Searchlight should be rec
ognized and the Office of county com
missioner for the southern district be
now conceded to that section. Mr..
Emerson will make a careful and
conscientious county servant.

The candidate for district attor-
ney on the Republican ticket when

similar capacity in Lincoln county.
His services in this Office we're most
satisfactory and his election will Sc
cure to Clark county a man thor
oughly trained in the details required
to make an efficient official. He has
lived in Clark county several years
and while here he has established
a reputation as an attorney that
stomps him as being one of the ablest
members of the bar in the county.
He has been successful in numbers
of difficult cases and has a record
for conscientious work in the inter-
ests of his clients.
He possesses the rare diplomatic
faculty of forestalling any possible
friction that might arise between the
different county offices and at the
same time strictly adhere to the let
ter of the law IS regards its en-
forcement without showing favorit-
ism or discrimination.
The reason that he is running foe
this Office is that he was urgently re-
quested to do so by his friends, his
party and the business men of the
county, who are anxious tnat this
important Office be placed in the
hands of man who is competent
and efficient and at the same time
practically economic and will save
the county money in big affairs, rath-
er than involve it into expensive
channels through unwise economy in
small matters Leo McNamee is biz
enough for this position, and he

THE REAL FACTS
Was Democratic Nominee for
Sheriff an Owner Of
GOOdSpringS Resort?

1t is alleged that Roy t. Lockett, a
candidate for Sheriff, testified before
the grand jury at the spring session
that he did not own half interest in
the resort at Goodsprngs known as
"The Gem Saloon" or 1.-The Passing
Show.
am herewith publishing a true copy
of the original bill of sale given by Rov
T. Lockett to w. M. Robinson of the
above named resort, subscribed to in
his own handwriting and acknowledged
by him before a notary public on the
2Sth day of June after the grand jury
had been excused.
The mortgage given by Roy Lockett
for 81 900 on the Charleston Hotel in
January last, doubtless furnished the
money to purchase his interest in the
Passing Show.
The public may draw its own con-
clusion. | now ask the good people of
Clark county, do you want this type of
man to be your sheriff.
