alive to the nations needs and to win
the world conflict would contribute
every energy and resource necessary

Thatcher is young man. He was
born in 1882. His father is the well
known Captain George w. Thatcher
who came to Nevada to fight Indians
before the civil war and later was
prominently identified with the de-
velopment and progress of Virginia
City, Nevada, the greatest mining
camp on earth. His mother was born
at Virginia City. Thus George b.
Thatcher is like native born and a
true Nevadan in all respects. His
career and ability as a Nevadan, as
an attorney and as interested in de-
velopment interest, is SO well known
and of such a successful record as to
stand on its own bottom without de-
tailed reference. With his friends,
there is no such thing as fail in the
| Thatcher candidacy for governor and
with il is the confidence that does not
predict but asserts that George b.
Thatcher will be Nevada's governor
when the newly elected governor of
| Nevada is inaugurated.
