QUICKER POPULAR
ALL OVER STATE

Judge Edward A. Quicker of Hum
boldt county arrived here yesterday
(Monday), says the Goldfeld Tribune.
on a campaign trip through the state
in the interest of his candidacy for
supreme judge. He left this morning
for Las Vegas and Phoebe and will
return here in a few days. on his way
to Ely.
Judge Quicker is one of the most
widely known men in the central part
of the state, where he has occupied
positions of trust since 1904. He came
to Nevada in 1884 and for several
years -"bucarooed" over the range in
Humboldt county, in this way saving
money for his education. From money
he earned in this and other ways he
studied law and was admitted to the
bar in 1903. He is a self-made man
who has the reputation among the
legal fraternity of placing common
sense and common justice before the
technicality of the law.
In 1904 he was elected district at
torney of Humboldt county and two
years later was reelected on his rec
ord. In 1904 he was again elected.
this time without opposition. In 1910
he was elected district judge and in
1914 was reelected without opposition
and since then has held the position.
Since his announcement for SUI
preme judge the attorneys of Hum
boldt county have endorsed his can
didacy by published resolution and
several district judges of the state
have endorsed his candidacy through
the press.
Judge Ducker has presided in many
district courts throughout the state
and has held court here several years
ago, when he tried a number of Grim
inal cases In past years he has been
in Goldfeld a number of times OF
legal business and has many friends
here.

NEYADA'S CHIEF
JUSTICE M'CARRAN
Political Advertisement

Nevada, during the history OF the
state. has had occasion TO be proud OF
the integrity and ability OF its supreme
court. 1t was from that tribunal that
precedent was established for MANY NJ
the great legal principles since per-
petuated in American Jurisprudence
The names of Justices Lewis, Beatty
and Hawley have become land marks
so to speak, In the realm OF American
judicial law.
Our court OF last resort has taken
It's place among the most recognized
courts of the land. and this being true
Its splendid record should be con-
tinued.
In all OF the history OF our supreme
court no one OF its justices have been
more universally recognized thar its
present chief justice.
Judge McCarran was born Ia Ne
vada. He worked his way through the
public schools and university. Ad-
versity only tended to lend rest and
vigor TO his early determination. II
was on the sheep range and by the
light of the campfire that he read law
and prepared himself for admission
to the bar. Before becoming a mem
Der OF the supreme court he had
gained recognition in every court Of
the state and in Humboldt county ths
name of Pat McCarran is a familiar
one in every locality.
AS a member OF our high court he
has proven his worth to his native
state. He has broadened out into q
progressive jurist whose ~utterances on
the law have enlisted the attention
and approval of other courts. Unur-
ing devotion and application on his
part has brought about that result OF
which Nevada may we'll be proud-its
supreme eourt is up with its work and
litigation is speedily determined when
II reaches that tribunal.
The Carson City Daily Appeal has
said:
Critics OF our judicial system In the
United States have been prone 10 point
to the delay OF the courts In rendering
decisions. The supreme court of Ne
Vada. under the leadership OF Chief
Justice McCarran. has been one OF the
few courts In the United States recog-
nized as prompt In the expedition Of
its business"
Judge McCarran has been In Hum
boldt for the past few days. renewing
old friendships and making new mes
He is assured OF a splendid vote in

CARRY on
(By Rev. A. p. Coppedge

(By Rev. A. p. Coppedge)
He was Just a nameless hero,
But a patriot. true, was he,
Who was proud to die for his country
To help make the whole world free
He was wounded. bleeding, dying.
On the bloody fields of France,
When a comrade paused beside him
Where they'd checked the Huns
advance.
He was just a blue-eyed youngster:
But a boy he seemed in years;
And the man who knelt beside him
Felt a rush OF sudden tears
Can / bear a message for you,
To the friend you hold most dear?
Can l stop this awful bleeding?
Shall l take you to the rear?"
In his dimming eyes. unearthly.
Flashed a sudden CLEAN of light,
As in agony he whispered:
There Is naught to do but fight"
Il must die. but you are living;
Go and fight your country's foes;
Love demands you do not falter,
But avenge poor Belgium's woes"
When his heart was almost stopping
When his breath was nearly gone
Then he left this patriot message:
Leave me comrade-carry on"
He refused both ease and comfort,
That his comrade might be free
To obey the call OF duty;
And r we less brave than he?
Then. We too must heed the message,
Sent by this brave British son,
And with money. food and man-power
Do u bit and carry on"
