The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1920-11-04
JUST GROWING IN
NOVEMBER, IS ALL

The Silver State feels 1t has little
to crow over. We have helped to
carry this former Democratic strong
hold for Harding and Coolidge. Even
Winnemucca proper returned a plu-
rality for Harding. Only a few votes
separate the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for United States
Senator and Representative in Con-
gress. With three distant precincts
missing, with total of 73 votes not
yet tabulated, it is possible the Re-
publicans will win yet. At any rate,
the Democrats have been held even
and that's going some.
The Republicans will have three Of
their men in the next state legisla-
ture-a clean sweep of our apportion-
ment Of two Assemblymen and one
Senator.
George Brady. Republican and a
fine man, is elected Sheriff, defeating
Club Moore, and we believe Brady
will say we helped him to win.
The county commissioner fight is
not to our liking, the Democrats hav-
ing elected Bradshaw. The result be-
tween Bell and Wilkinson is in doubt,
Bell, the Democrat, having a shade
the better of 1t.
We assisted in electing Charles G.
Smith to the Office Of county asses
sor. Smith is also Republican and
he will be credit to his party.
We helped Jack Nelson, a Repub-
lican, defeat Spenner, the Democrat,
for constable.
Other contests for office were fac
tional in nature, and in these The Sill
yer State took no decided interest, for
business reasons.
But most of all do we want to talk
about Sam ArentZ. 1t was last. De-
cember that The Silver State first
advocated this Nevada Republican for
Representative in Congress. Since
last July the senior owner of this
newspaper has devoted practically all
of his time winning Arentz's election.
Presenting one who was called IAN
unknown man." and announcing that
he would be elected to Congress in
spite of the fact that he was running
against "the best campaigner in Ne
vada," called down upon this member
of our firm the jeers of the old-line
politicians, particularly at Reno. The
amazing plurality by which AREN'T
has been elected. however, is the re-
suit. which speaks for itself.
Less than two years ago a great
many friends advised against our pur-
chase of The Silver State. But we
had confidence and went at the job.
We worked on the principle that we
couldn't crack a cocoanut with a
sponge, it is true; but results count.
Since that time we have been forced
to eat dirt of various brands, and it is
whispered funny stories have been
told. But the people answered last
Tuesday in fashion that cannot be
mistaken. The future of The Silver
State is assured by this election.
We ask that readers look back and
realize that The Silver State always
has been truthful. We want you to
know we are for the best interests Of
this community at all tines and the
things said for our candidates will be
proven correct by results.
Great credit is due to the Repub-
lican county central committee and
it's chairman, L. G. Campbell. and to
great number of loyal party work.
ers. The Women's Harding-Coolidge
Club has proven one of the great
things of the campaign. With even
better organization two years hence
we'll undertake the job of cleaning
up some more.
