II. w. Huskey, prominent attor-

State Senator from Washoe county in
the Nevada legislature for a number
of terms, was In Gardnerville and
Minden last Saturday meeting the
voters of this community and fur
thering his ambitions to represent
Nevada in the lower house of con-
gress. Mr.. Huskey Is seeking the
nomination on the Democratic ticket
at the primary election to be held
September 5th.
After making a rather complete
canvass Of this county, Mr.. Huskey
reported that everybody he met gave
him splendid encouragement and
seemed enthusiastic over his pros
poets.
What is termed as one of the most
momentous things coming before the
people within the next few years .s
what Is known as the Boulder Canyon
project. This great work, more than
twice as extensive as any irrigation
and power project In the world, will
bring money and people to Nevada.
and will help to distribute the tax
burden. which is higher per capita In
this state than In any other in the
United States. To this great project
Mr.. Huskey stands pledged to give
his best efforts. He Is dynamic, to
say the least. and has legislative ex-
perience as we'll as personality to
be Of real assistance to Nevada and
II elected will make a most capable
Congressman.
Huskey has been q resident of
Nevada for twenty years and is one
of the most capable lawyers in this
commonwealth. He Is . forceful
speaker and is recognized as one OF
the most brilliant men before the
Nevada bar.
When first elected to the legislature
from Washoe county. he was a men,
Der of the law Arm Of LEVERS &
Huskey. As member Of that firm
he represented the interests of the
Southern Pacific company. He as
sisted in passing the liability act
which was Of great benefit and pro-
lection to railroad workers and as a
result Of his activity, he was forced
to withdraw from the law firm and
thereby lost many thousands of dol
lars from the railroad company.
Nevada's first liability law. the ne
gotiable instruments law, the indus
trial insurance law, and the direct
primary, with its non-partisian judi
ciary provision, are some of the
monuments on the statute books with
whose passage Mr.. Huskey was in
timately connected with. Directly re-
sponsible for the direct primary law,
he is invited to Lovelock to expound
this law. In framing the bill, Mr..
Huskey carefully investigated the
election laws Of every other state and
culled from each the outstanding fea-
lures which he Incorporated In the
Nevada bill. It's passage was stormy.
but every objection was strongly
opposed and the efficient laws under
which Nevada selects her officehold-
ers will be the result Of his untiring
efforts
Mr.. Huskey stands for absolute
fairness to all the people and Is a
strenuous opponent to all form Of
class legislation. He showed this on
many different occasions in the Ne
vada legislature, and on one particu-
lar occasion took stand that vitality
effected the people of this community
and while the cards were stacked
against him, he nevertheless made q
single-handed fight for justice and
equality.
While this paper Is Republican In
principle. 1t is not SO hideIbound In
its political faith that 1t can see no
good In other party candidates, and
1t is with certain degree OF satis-
faction that the candidacy of H. W.
Huskey is recommended to the DEM
Iocratic voters of Douglas county.
