THE L TICKET
TWO A HENCE

THE IDEAL TICKET
TWO YEARS HENCE
On every hand evidence acucmu-
lates that Nevada people intend going
after clean and capable men to fill
their public Offices. The people in
tend to demand servants. not Office
holders. Governor Boyle's prediction
is being verifed-"the gang Is all
through" In advocating at this early
day the nomination of Hugh Henry
Brown of Tonopah for United States
Senator, the Tonopah Bonanza gives
distinct evidence Of being in accord
with the times, for Brown is a clean
man and capable. He is recognized as
such everywhere in Nevada, but he
old gang slogan, "He can't get votes"
has deferred him from entering the
political field, although often urged to
do So The Silver State merely laughs
at the superstition that it takes an
old-line politician to "get votes" This
newspaper says the ofiice-holding ele-
ment of incompetent, unqualified men
will nevermore receive the vote OF
Nevada. People have seen a great
white light and they will elect men
to transact their business who are
qualified to do so. The distinct evil
dence given by a Reno newspaper
of an inclination to attempt revivifi-
cation of a certain old political ma
chine merely indictes that its publish
ers are not in touch with the way
Nevada folk are thinking. The Bo-
nanza says:
1t is the duty of every Republican
In the State of Nevada to begin to
consider what candidates they desire
for places ON the Republican ticket
at the election two years hence. AT
that time the terms of Senator Pitt
man and Governor Boyle will have
ended and men will be chosen to sue
coed them. The Republican success
in the recent election when Nevada
jumped into the Republican column
was gratifying to every member of
that party in the state, and all desire
to keep the state in that column.
In order to do this it will be neces-
sary that the strongest men of the
party be selected to run for these
Offices. The Democrats are already
planning to make a desperate attempt
to elect men of their party to these
offices and to the other state Offices.
In order to insure success against this
effort of the Bourbons, the Republic
ans must start to look over their
available timber and choose the
strongest men for these positions.
The ideal man for Senator from
Nevada would be one who has lived
IN the state for many years and who
has been closely connected with its
development, in mining affairs, in
business matters, and in its govern
mental problems. This ideal Senator
should be a deep student of the theory
on which the government of the state
and nation is based, and should have
practical experience in the working
out of this theory.
He should be a learned man, whose
fame extends beyond the borders of
Nevada, so that through his personal
influence he could gain a sympathetic
ucdIlbS " tnC III NLiSh hC -
advocate in the halls of Congress. He
should be a man of such outstanding
sincerity and honesty that no n
could ever have occasion to question
his motives. These are the qualifica-
lions which the candidate on the Re-
publican ticket to succeed Senator
Pittman should have; and although
the standard is high, yet it is possible
to find men who will measure up to it.
Living in Tonopah today is a man
whose record as a citizen of Nevada,
when measured by the standard of the
ideal Senator, points him out as the
best qualified man in the state to
make the race for the position which
Senator Key Pittman is holding to-
day. This mar is Hugh Henry Brown.
and il is with a great deal of pleas
ure that the Bonanza suggests his
name to the voters of the state for
their consideration as the nominee of
the Republican party for Senator two
years hence. The ability of Mr.. Brown,
which is so well recognized both
within and without the state; the high
position which he has attained in his
chosen profession; his knowledge of
the problems of Nevada, gained in the
course of eighteen years residence
here, and his outstanding honesty and
sincerity in all things which he I'M
dertakes. qualify him as worthy of
the honor of becoming United States
Senator from Nevada.
For the reasons given above the
Bonanza believes that Mr.. Brown
would be the strongest choice of the
Republican party two years hence
and 1t feels certain that his record IN
Congress would be such that the en-
tire electorate of the state would be
proud of him.
