Republican and Democratic, are cF-
tending themselves to carry the HUM
boldt county delegations
On the Republican side, the conte V
has narrowed down to Platt ana NOT
cross. with indications that ooth VIII
elect a portion of their ticket
The fight between McCarran ana
pittman has been quite strenuous,
hut the former appears to have the
hest of the running in this county
and should elect a majority of mis-
ticket. which appears on the see7nd
mage of todays Silver State.
This mornings Winnemucca mail
was heavily loaded with circulars
from Platt and Norcross, and it IS
probable that every registered Repub-
Iican voter in the county will receive
one of them before Monday righT.
The Platt letter is as follows.
Reno, New, Aug. 4th, 1915.
My Dear Sir:
| trust you will indulge this per-
sonal letter concerning my candidacy
for the United States Senate upon he
Republican ticket. The very large
vote given me at the last election has
encouraged me to try again. | aIn
hopeful that Republicans will feel
that the close contest of two years
ago, and my efforts for the party
might properly be regarded as fair
and just reasons for giving me sup
port at this time.
The eight delegates whose names
appear upon the list enclosed have
generously pledged themselves to vote
for my nomination. May | hope that,
II you look upon my candidacy with
favor. you will take the enclosed card
to the polls with you and vote for the
delegates named
Permit me to express my sincere
gratitude for the splendid support
given me at the last election and to
thank you in advance for any assist
ance you may be pleased to give me.
Very sincerely yours.
