A. Il. HOWE ANNOUNCES HE
IS SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
Expresses Belief That Nevada Needs
And Wants a Business Man At
National Capitol

There has been more or less un-
certainty regarding the probable
entry of new candidate in the Re-
publican Senatorial race at the pri-
maries to dispute the nomination
with Messrs Norcross and Platt, in
the person of A. IL. Howe of Gold
field. Mr.. Howe puts en- end to the
uncertainty by the following letter
to the press of the State.
Having ascertained that the sent
iment of a large number OF people,
in various walks of life, throughout
the State, is in favor of the election
of business man to the United
States Senate, 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 capacity are as follows:
In the year 1886 ! entered the SER
vice of the United State Express
Company in New York City in a
subordinate capacity. Careful ap-
plication to duty and self-improye-
ment enabled me to assume from
time to time duties of enlarging i'm
portance, resulting in my finally be-
coming Assistant to the President.
My duties in that position required
me to handle large business affairs
both in the United States and in
Europe. During this business rela-
tionship, which lasted for twenty
years, and incidental hereto, it was
my good fortune to be connected
for twelve years in business and
official capacity with the work of
the United States Senate. While
connected with the United States
Senate l became acquainted with
the late Senator Nixon who invited
me to associate myself with his in
terests in Nevada, and in the year
1906 | took up my residence in
Reno, and became associated with
his banking enterprises. After
residence of two years in Reno, at
Senator Nixon's request | became
the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines Com
pany, taking up my residence IN
Goldfield where I have since resided.
During my residence in Goldfeld
have been engaged in large num-
Der of diversified business enterpris-
es vital to the welfare of the State.
have always believed, and |
now believe, that the interests of
this State and of the United States
are best served by adherence to the
fundamental principles of the Re-
publican party, and if nominated
and elected my ambition and incli-
nation will be to apply to the duties
of the Office of the furtherance of
those principles the same qualities
of application, industry and intellf-
gence which have maintained me in
my former and present business as
sociations.
discover a growing appreciation
on the part of the public of the fact
that the activities of government are
distinctively in the nature of busi-
ness activities, and that the estab-
lishment of conditions, which make
for the economic welfare OF COM
munities in their relations to other
communities involve merely intelli-
gent business adjustment. The idea
of sending to the Senate business
man of broad experience and train
ing having met with Statewide ap-
proval, 1t is with confidence that
announce myself as candidate for
the Republican nomination for the
United States Senatorship.
