years resident OF White Pine coun-
ty and recognized as one OF the most
able as well as ethical practitioners
in the legal profession in the state,
has announced his candidacy for the
republican nomination for United
States senator.
This announcement, which was
made at Reno week ago and con-
veyed to the News by telegram which
reached here after last Sundays edi-
tion had gone to press, does not come
as a surprise by reason OF the fact
that 1t has been quite generally
known for several weeks that many
leading members of his party have
been insistently urging tie promi-
nent Ely legal man to enter the raco
for the high Office, and 1t was only
after mature consideration of the
matter and extensive correspondence
as well as personal conferences that
Mr.. Chandler made known his de-
cision in the matter in a letter ad-
dressed to Chairman Harry r Stew
art of the republican state central
committee
Throughout eastern Nevada Mr.
Chandler is personally known to at
least large majority of the resi-
dents, while his reputation as q man
of signal ability and integrity il not
only statewide but has extended far
into other states throughout the
western section of the country. He
is n recognized authority on mining
law and in an edition of "Lindiey on
Mines" a work accepted i'm the high
Art f..slk l..
edges with gratitude the assistance
rendered by the Nevada LAWYER and
statesman in its compilation.
Mr.. Chandler is native of Ore
gon, being born near Baker City of
parents in moderate circumstances,
but his high ambition coupled with
his ability brought him TO the front.
He Is n self-made and well made
man. Receiving his early education
In the public schools of eastern Ore
gon, he entered the Oregon Agricul-
tural college at Corvallis. from which
he was graduated in 1895. He later
enrolled as a student ut Stanford
university and after his graduation
from that institution of learning he
was engaged In the law Offices of
Lindley & Eikhoff in San Francisco.
While SO engaged he took a special
law course at the Hastings College Of
Law, which he completed in 1901.
A few years later, when ore WIS dis
covered in large commercial bodies
in this district, he came to Ely, where
he opened law Office and where he
has since been engaged in that pro-
fession. and by reason of his out
standing ability he has enjoyed a
large clientele, numbering among his
clients the largest operators IN min
ing circles as well as those engaged
in ranching and the raising of live
stock, the industries upon which Ne
yada is so largely dependent.
While always active in matters
tending to the upbuilding of the
state. he first accepted public Office
when elected to the assembly from
White Pine county four years ago.
and during that session he distin-
guished himself in the legislative
halls. He was reelected TO the same
Office two years ago and was then
chosen as speaker of the house which
important position he filed with
credit to himself and the state. His
broad spirit OF equity and fair deal
ing won for him an enviable reputa-
tion and members of the lawmaking
body, regardless of political affilfa-
ton. declared him TO be all abso-
lutely impartial presiding officer.
II is the first time that n candidate
for seat in the national congress
from the ranks of either OF the great
political parties has come before the
voters of eastern Nevada and the 'es-
idents of this section will naturally
show their pride in a home man
possessing the unqnestionable ability
and sterling qualities of Charles 5.
Chandler.
