est in population, he has risen to
one Of the leaders of the senate and
IL considered one of the administra-
tons strongest men. BY close ap-
conscientiously performed his duties
and served his country and his state
faithfully and well. With loyalty
unsurpassed he has stood shoulder
to shoulder with our great leader,
Woodrow Wilson in the fight for con-
struetive and progressive legislation.
lie has held his own both in floor and
committee work with such old lead
ers as Lodge, Smoot and Gallinger.
He has been fearless. vigorous and
initiative in his stand for woman's
suffrage and we commend him for
I his speech made at the democratic
national convention in st. Louis on
behalf of the suffrage movement in
this country. We trust that the
people of this county and state will
lend their untiring support to the
Hon. Key Pittman. Unselfshly he
remained from his home state dur
ing the last primary election in
which he was personally interested,
and during that time he stood on the
firing line beside our president lend
ing his aid to the noble and just
eight-hour law and advocating DEM
o~cratic principles.
We heartily recommend and will
untiringly advocate tie election of the
Hon. Ed Game as a representative in
congress In whom We find a man pos
sessing every qualification and char
aeteristic that go to make up a great
man. as well as one who thoroughly
understands the great state of Ne
vada and the needs of her people. If
the people of this county and state
to whom we appeal, will Loyalty
stand behind the Hon. Ed Game, they
will elect n who will properly at
tend to the duties of his high office
and will be present on the floors of
congress when that great body has
under consideration matters of vital
interest TO our nation and our state
to register his opinion and his vote
In our best interests.
We condemn the present incum-
bent. Z. E. Roberts, who for the past
six years has betrayed and deceived
the electorate of this state as to his
ability as a congressman. During
most of that time we found the rep
resentative elected from this state
to the lower house of congress absent
when questions of vital importance
were under consideration and we
find that during an important special
session of congress he scarcely
answered the roll call at all. He Is
again presented TO the people by the
republican party and is seeking re-
election. Can the laboring men oil
this state who believe In the justice
OF the eight-hour law which has been
accepted by society throughout the
civilized world, stand for or vote for
a man who picked up his valise and
left Washington at the important
moment when our president and our
senators were striving to procure for
labor the relief which 1t demanded
and to which II was so justly en-
titled, and at the same time avert
the threatened railroad strike with
its consequent disaster to our ma
ton? The whereabouts Of our rep
resenative in congress was not as
certained until he was located in
Reno looking after his political
fences and seeking the republican
nomination for reelection. We at
least ask that a man be sent to con-
gress who will try to do something
for Nevada and vino will at least be
present to vote when an important
question comes up.
We recommend the election of the
Hon. J. A.. Sanders as Justice of the
supreme court of this state. Judge
Sanders is a man of ability and
stands out in his profession as the
most able district attorney in the
great state of Nevada. If he is ele-
waited to the high position of justice
of the supreme court he will acquit
himself with the same great credit
and achieve the same great distinc-
ton that he has as district attorney
of Nye county.
We heartily recommend the cleo
ton of Willyiam Kennett of Elko
county, as clerk of the supreme
court. Mr.. Kenneth is a young man
of sterling worth and signal ability.
He has spent most of his life in the
pursuit of his profession as a court
reporter. and is regarded as m OF
the most able men In that profession.
His record is an open book and one
