tCpctiff
RENO. Nevada.-As predicted in
these letters some time ago, Nevada
set forth an object lesson in the
spirit of the times by the result of
Tuesdays primary election. For her
Republican candidate for United
States Senator she chose Tasker l..
Oddie a Nevadan of known ability
and reputation. For Representative
in Congress the nominee is Samuel
S. Arentz, a man of high attainments
in Western life, yet little known
among the masses of the people. In
word. Nevada Republicans have re-
verted to form. They have nominated
Nevada men for Nevada people-and
Washington will hear from them.
The Democrats have little to boast
about. Their candidate for Senator
nominated himself, while for Repre-
sentative they preferred to let the in
cumbent try 1t again. Three Demo-
cratic candidates for Representative,
all putting up spirited campaign,
polled but a handful more votes COL
lectively than did the two Republican
candidates. who did not nearly SO
much vote-getting work. The total
of Republican votes for Senator ex-
ceeded the Democratic vote. The plain
indication of this set of facts is that
many Democrats refrained from vot-
ing at the primary; and these will, as
many have announced, vote the Re-
publican ticket in November.
Sam Arentz, the least-known of the
candidates, proved the feature of the
primary, polling more votes than any
other man on the national tickets.
This was merely because of the re-
cital of his accomplishments as a Ne
vada man. and the testimony Of his
friends as to his sterling character
and high mental attainments. Ne
vada said Enthusiastically that she
wants that sort of man for her lone
Representative in the national legis-
lature. She will say so in a more de-
cfded way after Arentz has been
around the state a couple more times
and becomes more widely acquainted.
He has led too busy life to ever be
I'm the public eye." Now, having
been successful in his own business,
he offers his experience to the state.
There is fine manliness in Arentz's s
personal character Sitting in an up
per front window of the Grand thea
tre in Reno last Tuesday evening,
watching the bulletined returns
thrown by steropticon on a screen on
the opposite side of Virginia street,
he saw the compiled vote from Lyon
(his home county,. 1t was 225 to 28.
1t was a grand vote, to be sure, COM
ing from his old co-workers in mine
on ranch, and railroad. Sam was
touched
"If l do not get the nomination"
he said, that votes pays for the
work and expense / have put into the
campaign so far"
Republicans, at least in Reno, are
all optimists now. 1t is firmly be-
lieved that an active and sensible
campaign, appealing to the honest
thought of the people, means un-
qualified party success in the elec-
tion. Nevada wants representation
that will represent the state for
what she is-as a whole-not for
what the great East has been art
lessly trained to suspect her of being
"a wild West or country of cows
and wildcats only. Keep the usurp-
ing independent off the national
ticket, where both parties have ac-
ceptable candidates" will be the

and one can not tell when one passes !,
from town to country, SO close are the
homes along the main highway lead
ing towards all the points Of the COM
pass. From Laurens to Clinton, a
town nearly as populous, the distance
fronting the roadside is worth as much
now in dollars as town lots in either
village would bring in the recollec-
ton of middle aged men and women.
Laurens has plenty Of steam railways,
but it is off "main trunk line" and
that is the reason that it's population
is no greater. The negro population
has diminished while the white popua-
| ton mas enlarged and the whole dis
trict is filling with better homes ana

tives Of the new generation are bet

Of a century ago scarcely two dozen
men in Laurcns county were living
who had seen the inside Of college.
Now there are 500 or 1000 OF them
and an even larger number OF educat-
ed women, with the result that cult
vation, good manners and good taste
are widely disseminated. If Laurens
shall move along as it is now moving,
it will in little while be the cap
ital of region notable for the pos
session Of whatever makes life most
worth living.
Why should town SO situated be
ambitious for swollen rating in
the census returns? If the whole coun-
