L. N. Fowler Is Out for Congress
The first Democratic candidate to enter the race for congress at the coming primaries is L. N. Fowler, a well-known attorney of Reno. Mr. Fowler is well-known to the people of this city, where he lived for many years.
In his card announcing his candidacy he says:
"The direct primary affords a free and fair opportunity for all aspirants for nomination, and I am prepared to submit my candidacy to the Democratic party of my state. I know that every Democrat has an equal right to aspire for the nomination, and I am prepared to enter an honest battle with all contestants.
"Since boyhood I have been a student of public questions, and a seat in congress will give me an opportunity to devote my efforts in the direction of my inclinations.
"I do not look upon a public office misused as conferring any honor, but I do look upon it as a medium whereby a man by faithful service may win the respect of his fellow countrymen.
"In passing over the pages of Blaine's 'Twenty Years In Congress' I have read that the men whose service in the lower house of congress has been most effective have been those who entered under forty years of age. This is a truth fully established by history. The senate possesses a different record. I aspire to enter congress at an age when the rules of precedent will be in my favor.
"I want to represent the greatest undeveloped state in the Union in the popular branch of congress--a state in which I have lived for years, and where for years my father lived before me.
"Nevada has but one spokesman in the lower house of congress, and in choosing that spokesman she should choose wisely. For myself, I promise that no one can be selected who will be more loyal and devoted in his service to the state.
"Unless I can go to congress free to serve the people faithfully I do not want to go at all.
"I want to go to congress to support one of our greatest presidents, one whose administration is a marvelous success, and I believe that a representative in congress in sympathy with the administration can accomplish much for Nevada.
"I intend to make a thorough canvass of the state, and as the campaign progresses I will present to the people the principles for which I stand, and especially those in which Nevadans are interested."
