TO THE VOTERS OF NEVADA

| desire TO convey to you my sense
of duty regarding a few of the many
problems confronting the citizens OF
the United States today.
The problems of labor are reduce
able TO the relation of one man 10
one Job. If every man We're true TO
his Job and every job a square deal,
labor problems would disappear.
Economy in labor costs Is practical
only by giving labor a larger return,
particularly in merchandise, which
dollars will buy. In that way only
can consumption increase and pro-
duction return TO normal.
The Each-Cummins Transportation
Act of 1920 is inimical to the best
interests OF Nevada. l favor such re-
vision as will give us the benefits
we are entitled to.
A government is always a refiee-
ton of the people-just to the ex
tent that you demand fair play-just
to that extent will you get 1t.
Citizenship carries with it duties
and responsibilities, and one of the
most important of these is the duty
of the ballot. The representation
you have at Washington depends up
on you: therefore, do not lose your
vote either at the Primary or Cen
eral Election.
The very keynote of a democracy
Is the safeguarding of personal lib
erty. Bearing directly upon the
question of personal liberty, We have
another political question of serious
moment; that is, local self-govern-
ment as opposed to oyermueh cen
tralized government.
Surely we, the people of the Stat
of Nevada, who live here, work here,
and raise our children here, are bet
ter qualified TO guide the destinies
of our State than some misguided
theorist living some thousands OF
miles away.
In conclusion, l ask you for Your
support in the Primary Election
September s., as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the Unit
ed States Senate. l represent no
clique, no faction. | am a plain
business man. standing squarely up
on my own feet. and IL nominated
and elected l will represent tho
whole State of Nevada, and give the
job that common snse attention that
I give to my own business.
Respectfully yours.
