STATE CANDIDATES
IN SOUTH NEVADA
Especial correspondence)

| NINA. New, Oct. Tt requires
something more than a sheepskin to
make a man mining engineer" de-
clcred Sam Arentz, who was the first
speaker at a meeting held at the Nina
| Commercial Club last evening. Some
thing more than an Office education
is nece sscry to make fit represen-
tative of Nevada He must have la
bored in the open, struggling to mar
ket the natural resources of the
sta'e-because natural resources are
all we have here, whether we market
the produce in the form of sacked
ore, beef, or wool.
"A man who would try to represent
| Nevada without q thorough under
standing of the atate, gained from
experience, would remind me of the
young college-maGe engineer. He
came home after receiving his degree,
and told his father, an old miner, that
he was ready to go to work. They
went down into the mine and to the
work on the face of the drift.
Now, you are mining man. said
the father. Just stick your pick in
to that rock and tell me what you
| think Of it,.
The young man did as requested.
He took up a large double handful of
ore and looked wisely at it, He
turned the stuff to the light, this way
and that
Why, father, there is nothing in
this. he said at last. You are wasting
money getting such stuff out. You
would better quit it and we will look
around awhile
Sh-h-h-hi' said the old man.
Not so loud Don't give this thing
away. l have been fooling the mint
with this for years."
! Governor Oddie followed Arentz
He touched upon the subjects of the
League of Nations, the tariff, prof.
teering. and the necessity of electing
Republican Senators and Represen
tatives to support the Republican
President who is sure to be elected
this fall. 1t was noticeable at this
meeting that every mention of Hard
| ing and Coolidge was greeted with
applause Mark W. Shaw, local
candidate for justice of the peace,
presided at the meeting and intro
duced the Republican candidates.
The good super-six ship Cam
paigner III met with stormy seas as
! she sailed from Hawthorne yesterday
morning. A great gale raised i'm
penetrable dust clouds. and the
travellers were informed that the road
to Luning was filled with sand and
impossible. A run was made direct
to Nina, and Luning was approached
from this end of the route during the
afternoon All indications are favor
able to the Republican candidates
hereabout. The Nina registration
is 225, and about 200 votes will be
polled. Luning precinct registers
25, but the vote will be cut to about
so because of departures.
Oddie and Arentz learned here of
an accident which befell an old friend
H. E. Carpenter, general superintend-
ent at Candelaria, three weeks ago
He fell down stope and suffered
severe bruises besides three broken
ribs He is recovering rapidly, and
has remained on the property.
Much favorable comment is caused
by the harmonious manner in which
the two Republican candidates are
working together in this campaign.
Their talks are earnest and to the
point. dealing largely with economic
problems concerning Nevada directly,
viewed from the standpoint of practi-
cal experience. They inspire con-
fdence. The people like it. The
earnest audiences encourage the
speakers.
Today the wind storm has died
away and the travellers will be able
to cover much ground. Round Noun
tain, Manhattan, and perhaps one
more camp will be reached. Night
will find the candidates in Tonopah,
where all day Friday will be passed.
After Tonopah the route continues
southwark as far as Goodsprings.
Nina is said to have been the start
ing place of Governor Oddie's can
didacy eight years ago. The town.
as well as Mineral county, is safe for
Harding and Coolidge, Oddie and
Arentz
