as one of the geratest political days
ever seen in Reno, the event being the
true Nevada welcome extended to
Charles 4. Hughes. Republican
nominee for President of the United
States. Before Mr.. Huges delivered
his principal address, he joined the
vast crowd at the barbecue given in
his honor.
Those of Carson Valley who heard
the Reno speech of Mr.. Hughes are
loud in their praise for his plain
forward statements. They believe
him to be the right man to head the
affairs OF this great nation, and are
enthusiastic In speaking Of the Re-
publican nominee.
Mr.. Hughes was introduced by Hon.
Sam Platt, the candidate for Senator
himself receiving a splendid ovation.

the generous welcome that you have
accorded me. II has been especially
gratifying to have those share in that
welcome. or rather. share In the ex-

desire to express my warm appreci-
atino of the courtesy which has been
shown me on occasion.
I'VE are all good Americans, what
ever our political differences. and we
have a good natured discussion ON
these days of campaigning solicitous

with respect to the particular means
of obtaining them. therefore make
no apology for speaking to Democrats

party which has certain historic prin-

of their application will be apparent to
all in this country.

surely will be obtained at later date.
