REPUBLICAN! G.1'.s,,pA|Gn
! IS OPENED At N GILL

The republican rally held at Nc
Gill last night was not by any means
as well attended as might be expect
ed. considering the fact that candi-
dates for the highest Offices within
of Neada addressed the voters on
the issues which are being presented
in this campaign.
Charles S. Chandler, candidate for
United States senator; A. Grant Mil
Ter. for representatie in congress:
e. II. Hunting. for state treasurer;
George II. Smith, for superintendent
of state printing; A. ]. Stinson, for
state mine inspector, and George B.
Russell, for surveyor general, were
the speakers.
ST Hakenson was chairman of the
meeting and introduced the candi-
dates. E. II. Hunting, George B.
Smith, A. ]. Stinson and George B.
Russell delivered short addresses. in
which they spoke briefly OF their
qualifications for the Offices they are
seeking.
Mr.. Chandler was then called upon
anu III OptniHB GU W iAC thot ~
made against him by his opponents
that he is corporation lawyer. He
gave a brief history of his early ca
reer and told of his struggle from
life on a ranch until, by persever-
ance and toll, he worked his way
through Stanford university. after
which he entered the law Office of
Judge Lindley, where for a time he
received only s25 month. He said
in later years he accepted the work
of mining corporation the same as
he did that OF the rancher and the
prospector and all the honest legal
business that came to him, because
that was the way he made his liv-
ing. He then said IL elected to the
United States senate he would give
up all his legal practice, both corpo-
rate and individual, aud become
solely and only the attorney for the
people of the state OF Nevada. He
then took up the silver bill, which
he said was passed as a war measure
and would today be on the statute
books IL Senator Pittman had never
been in the United States senate. He
spoke of the efforts required to pass
the bill, giving credit to such men
as the Hon. Carter Glass, former
Secretary McAdoo and others. as well
as Senator Pittman. He next took
up the achievements of the repub-
lican party and dwelt upon the fact
that much had been accomplished
since the party went into power
year and half ago.
A. Grant Miller then delivered the
valedictory. He prefaced his ora
ton by repeating the remarks made
by his opponent in recent speech
and then facetiously apologized for
getting on the wrong track and said
he would not ask people to elect him
to congress on that ground. He did
not thereafter assign any particular
reason why he should be elected. but
devoted his attention to bitter ar
raignment of the democratic party
and the administration of Woodrow
Wilson. which he said two years ago
millions of democrats voted to drive
out of power, and because Senator
Pittman was one of that administra-
ton he urged democrats to likewise
turn him out.
Mr.. Miller waved the American
flag, stretched out the eagles wings
and fed peanuts to the elephant. II
was a good speech and has been since
1916. but its application to issues in
the present campaign would be diff
ficult in the extreme.
The party of republican state can
didates coming from Phoebe and
headed by John II. Miller for gov
ernor was delayed in arriving and
had not reached Ely at a late hour
last night. and therefore no meeting
was held at Ruth last night, as sched-
uled.
Arrangements will probably be
made for a meeting at Ruth today
and all the republican candidates are
scheduled TO speak at Bio hall in
Ely tomorrow night.
