You could do no greater favor or service for Nevada,in the appointment of any single man to a Federal position than to do Your utmost for Judge Bigelow’s appoint ment to the District Judgeship. W. D. Jones. “Chairman~Board of Democrantic County Central Committee.” J. BR. Willianson, Chairman Board of Republican County Central Committees,
