CHARLES S. CHANDLER
ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for United States Senator
from the State of Nevada in to-day's
issue OF the Sentinel.
Mr.. Chandler resides al Ely where
he has been engaged in the practice
" law since January. 1905. He is
recognized by both bench and bar
rs one of the leading lawyers Of the
State and is universally respected
both for his ability and his integrity.
Although earnestly interested in all
political and governmental questions,
Mr.. Chandler never sought political
honors until he was induced in the
campaign Of 1918 to become a candi-
date for Assemblyman from White
Pine County. At hat time the World
War was still waging. Mr.. Chandler
had taken a very active part in all
civic war activities and, believing
that important questions relating to
the War would come before the Leg
islature, consented to become a can-
didate for the Assembly under the
belief that, as Assemblyman, he might
be able to render valuable service to
the State. He was elected and, al
though the 1919 Assembly was DEM
ocratic. he soon became recognized
as the virtual leader Of the House.
At the next election he was returned
to the Assembly and was elected as
Speaker by the unanimous vote Of all
the members Of the Assembly Of both
parties. His ability and fairness as
Speaker was such that no appeal was
ever taken to the House from any
ruling made by him. On account Of
his known ability as a lawyer, he was
chosen to preside over the joint ses-
sions of the Senate and Assembly
during the impeachment proceedings
against n of the District Judges of
the State. The name in which he
handled this impeachment proceed
ing won general admiration.
Mr.. Chambers record in the two
sessions of the Legislature brought
his name prominently before the peo-
pie of the State and resulted in his
being generally recognized as Que of
the very able men Of the State. 1t
was but natural, therefore, that in
seeking a candidate for United States
Senator, many of the leading Re-
publicans turned to him and have
induced him to seek this high honor.
BY training and experience MI.
Chandler Is we'll qualified to hold the
Office to which he now aspires. He
was born forty-six years ago on a
ranch near Baker in Eastern Ore
gon, where conditions are somewhat
similar to those in Nevada. He grew
up on the ranch. attending a country
school, doing general farm work and
riding for cattle. He was graduated
from the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege in 1895. After teaching school
a year, he entered Stamford Univer-
sity, from which he was graduated
in 1899. While at Stanford he met
Curtis H. Lindley. the eminent min
ing lawyer. and on leaving Stanford
was fortunate enough to secure a
position in Mr.. Lindley's office in
San Francisco, where he remained
for six years. While in MI. Lind
ley's Office. he managed to attend the
Hastings College of Law, from which
he was graduated in 1901. During
this same year he was admitted to
practice law in California. Mr..
Chandler assisted Mr.. Lindley in the
preparation of the second edition of
"Lindley on Mines" which is the
standard text book on the law of
mines. He also did considerable work
in the gathering Of material for a
book which Mr.. Lindley had under
preparation on the law of water.
The material for this book was de-
stroyed in the San Francisco fire,
and the work was never completed.
Mr.. Chandler also assisted Mr.. Lind
ley in the preparation and trial of
many important cases. most of which
we're mining cases.
