STATEMENT ANNOUNCING
HIS CANDIDACY

Definite announcement that j
seek the republican nomin:
ton for United States senator fro,
Nevada was made today by A. I
Howe, secretary and treasurer :
the Goldleld Consolidated Mine
who has been spoken of
political circles for some time pa
a probable a%spirant to the off;
in this state. Mr.. Howe, prior I
west. had a wide experience
extending over many years, of les
islative affairs, through associate
with and duties in the United State
senate, and his friends and acquair
tances here regard him as beir
eminently fitted for the office fC
which he has announced his cand
dacy.
When asked by The Tribune fl
an expression of his intentions viii
regard to seeking the senatorshiI
MI Howe made the followir
statement:
Having ascertained that the
sentiment of a large number of
PEOPLE, in various walks OF
life, throughout the state, IS
in favor of the election of a
business man to the United
States senate, l have decided to
seek the republican nomination
for that office.
THE experience and training
which | feel have equipped me
to serve the state in that a
Iacity are as follows: In the
year 1886 l entered the service
Ct the United States Express
company in New York City in
a subordinate capacity. Careful
application to duty and self
Improvement enabled me to as
sumo from time to time du-
ties of charging Importance,
resulting in my finally becom~
ing assistant to the president.
NV duties in that position g
CURED me to handle large bust
ness affairs both in the United
states and Europe.
During this business rela-
tionship. which lasted for 20
Years, and incidental thereto,
il was my good fortune to be
,nnected for II years in a
business and official capacity
with the work of the United
States senate. While connect
ed with the United States
senate | became acquainted with
the late Senator Nixon,
who invited me to as
sociate myself with his
interests in Nevada, and in the
year 1906 | took up my resi-
dence in Reno, and became as
sociated with his banking en-
terprises.
After a residence of two
years in Reno, at Senator Nix
on's request l became the sec
rotary and treasurer of the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company. taking up my resi-
cence in Goldfield, where
have since resided. During my
residence in Goldleid l have
been engaged in a large number
OF diversified business enter
prises vital to the welfare of
the state.
II have always believed, and
now believe, that the intec-
ests of this state and of the
United States ire hest served
hy adherence to the fundamen-
tal principles of the republican
party. and if nominated anr
elected, my ambition and in
clination will be to apply to the
duties of the office and the
fartherance of those principles
the same qualities Of applica-
ton. industry and intelligence
which have maintained me IN
my former and present business
associations.
Il discover a growing appre
citation on the part of the pub
tic of the fact that the activ-
ties of government are dis
tinctively in the nature OF
business activities. and that
the establishment of conditions,
which make for the economic
welfare of communities in their
relations to other communities
involve merely intelligent busi-
ress adjustment. The idea ~
sending to the senate a bust
less man of broad experience
and training having met with
statewide approval. it is with
confidence that I announce
myself as a candidate for the
A)ublican nomination for the
Nkited States senatorship.'
