CHARLESB. HENDERSON ENDORSED
BYELKO COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION
Judge B. F. Crer, Republican and Candidates Late Op
ponent, Lays Aside Political Views and Nomnaes Charles
B. Henderson with Ringing Words; Says Eastern Nevada
Entitled to Recognition

In a speech resounding patriotism
and praise Judge b. F. Curler. old Re
publican war horse and late opponent
OF Charles B. Henderson for Regent of
the State University, placed before
the Elko County Bar Association at
meeting held yesterday afternoon.
the name OF Charles B. Henderson
for United State Senator vice Senator
Francis q. Ncwlands, lately deceased.
Appealing TO the members of the bar
Judge Curler emphasized the neces-
sity for the appointment OF a man who
was thoroughly in sympathy with the
administration in the carrying out OF
the great program now holding the
attention of the United States, and at
the same time a man who was repre-
sentative OF the State Of Nevada in
point of ability, training, and legal
attainments. With voice that at
times bespoke the great feeling in the
Judges heart for the welfare OF the
boys whom we must send to France.
feeling inspired by the presence OF his
only son at the Armageddon in Eu-
rope, Judge Curler laid aside all poll
tical differences. and pleaded for an
unanimous endorsement OF man
whom ne said he felt thoroughly
equipped TO represent the State of
Nevada in the Senate of the United
States in this hour of our greatest ma
tional trial" In endorsing Mr.. Hen
derson Judge Curler has in no uncer-
tain terms displayed a public spirit
and desire for the good in things
political that does him more than
honor. DIsregarding any appeal that
may have had its rise in the ranks
of his own political party he has un-
equiyocally endorsed man OF op.
posite faith solely because he feels
that Mr.. Henderson is the man for the
place, TO the exclusion of any timber
that Republicanism might offer There
exists also another and even stronger
reason for the endorsement OF Charles
u. Henderson. II is high time that
Eastern Nevada became at least a dot
upon the political map. Producing
more than half of the states wealth.
giving daily its quota and more for
the maintenance Of the nation in its
hour of need. each day offering more
and more inducement TO the settler
looking for his life's home, eastern
Nevada has patiently waited to be re
cognized by the powers that be with
out avail For this oversight abso'
lutely no reason exists. Pittman rep
resents the south. Roberts the west
in the halls OF congress. Why not q
man from the east? In Henderson
we have the man we want. He Ia ours;
he represents us; he was born here
reared here, and has spent his money
here. He Is able. patriotic, and above
all he Is youthful as the word goes in
congress. Train him now and keep
him there. He has the courage tc
back his convictions. Nevada will
never have cause to regret her choice
The Elko County Bar Association has
taken a step that should be highly
commended. The resolution as adopt
ed and signed, follows:
