SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
. FOR WHITE PINE COUNTY

Nevada Is rapidly approaching an
other political campaign, and already

candidates for United States senator.
/ Key Pittman will be in the contest
AS democratic candidate To succeed
himself. There may be one or more
democratic aspirants opposing Sem

at present appears to center upon
who Will enter the contest from the
republican ranks.
One name that has been frequently
mentioned and caused a general
pricking up OF ears, particularly
throughout the eastern part of the
state, is that of Charles s. Chandler
of Ely. Mr.. Chandler has not formal
ly announced his candidacy nor has

being mentioned as candidate for

will be contestant who, to speak
plainly, will give Senator Pittman a
run for his money, and that the lat

be wall1over to victory.
Mr. Chandler is one Of the most
widely and favorably known men in
Nevada. and as citizen. in his pro-
fession as a lawyer of high ability
and as a legislator nothing can be
brought against him. In White Pine
county, should Charles S Chandler
J be a candidate. party lines would be
pretty nearly obliterated in support
of local candidate in every way
worthy of a public-spirited support.

With Mr.. Chandler n candidate, the
Pittman fences in White Pine county
would need lot OF attention and
fixing up.
The Ely Record of current issue
takes the following editorial view of
the senatorial situation:
Notator.' the political dopester
OF the Carson City Appeal, who is
the recognized propagandist for the
democratic party, seems to devote
much space to nominating republican
candidates for the United States sem
ate. In recent article he comments
upon the probable candidacy of w.
/ IL RthfAhOhfs CtCA Ddois i<luid Au-
ans, Anne Martin and Hugh Brown,
none OF whom have been as yet seri-
ously considered by the rank and file
OF the republicans OF the state. In
making these suggestions 1t is appar-
ent that 'Notator' has intentionally
overlooked the strongest probable
candidate. namely. Charles S. Chand-
Ter of White Pine. II Is true that
I Mr. rhandfnr do
announcement Of his candidacy, but
the fact remains that he is the most
logical man that could be named by
his party. His qualifications for the
position are generally recognized
throughout the state. There is no
question as to his being senatorial
timber. His two terms in the legisla-
ture. during the last of which he
served as speaker OF the house. have
given him a statewide acquaintance,
and therefore he needs no formal in
PRODUCTION to the electors.
Politicians of the western portion
OF the state. who have so long con-
trolled the destinies of the republican
party. may consider Mr.. Chambers s
residence in White Pine county as
handicap. but a careful analysis of
conditions will prove that this is re-
ally an advantage, for the reason
that this county has never had a can
'iidate for either branch of congress,
and therefore a local candidate would
undoubtedly be the means of arous-
ing a splendid spirit of local pride in
the home man, which would give him
an overwhelming majority at the
polls. Republicans throughout the
state should fully realize that they
must nominate their strongest cardi-
date If they hope to win, for Senator
Pittman is a strong man and is in
the fight to win.
