before its organization to the pres
ent. The writer of the articles is
well known to any one who has
visited Carson and they are publish
ed at this time for the reason that the
writer failed to secure a re-nomi-
nation for his present State Office at
the convention recently held at
Reno.
This fact alone shows it to be
case OF "sour grapes" with a dis
appointed politician, who in revenge,
strikes wildly at everything and
everybody, and his articles will be
taken for what they really are, the
vaporings OF disgruntled Office
seeker.
The MESSENGER doesn't like men
ton made of the fact that it posses
SEES one horse outfit, and is unable
to fill its contract, but matters of
that kind can't well be concealed in
small communities especially when
those whose work is neglected, kick
and advertise the fact themselves.
No spies, hired or otherwise are
needed. Under the circumstances
we can't blame the MESSENGER for
not wanting visitors, because in
them its effort to fool all the people,
all the time, must speedily be shown
up.
Now, in comparison with the Mes
RENGER we don't mind admitting
that we possess a first class outfit;
frequently turn out some good
printing and through circumstances
run one horse newspaper. In the
MESSENGERS case however, the latter
fact is not admitted, but is only too
apparent to anyone who sees or
reads that sheet.
The RECORD Office has been work
ing to full capacity, and more, for
the past week in turning out the
official election ballots and other
printing. On account of the distance
to the southern precincts in the
county, Lincoln is among the first
counties to issue its ballots and get
them out for delivery to precinct
officers. 1t has always been 80, but
with through railroad. if that ever
comes, things will change.
To some it looks like indulgence
in general goodnatured scramble
for Office on the part of county can
didates. 1t may be SO but the best
men should win in the end. Vote
for men of mature years and business
experience. You find them princi-
pally on the Silver Party ticket.
The chief feature ON the Democratic
county ticket is the youthfulness and
inexperience of its candidates, and
this is also its chief objection.
The Purity of Election law is pop
ularly construed now not to pro-
hibit treating and the State candi-
dates follow the custom as freely now
as before the passage of the act.
This is cheering news to the saloon
men and the candidates ought to be
called on to make good portion at
least of what was lost to the saloons
two years ago by making up for it in
the few remaining weeks of this run.
Claim holders generally are
arranging for assessment work and
more interest is taken in the matter
than was the case a year ago, due
no doubt to the benefit which the
building of the railroad south from
Milford is expected to create.
Secretary of State Eugene Howell
and d. M. Ryan, Silver Party Can
didate for State Treasurer, returned
from DeLamar and went north by
private conveyance on Monday
morning.
Miss Ida Deck has been engaged
to teach the Cottonwood District, or
Bradshaw school, and will go down
tomorrow or next day to take
charge.
John Jochimsen goes tomorrow to
Deerlodge and vicinity on a political
trip and will take in DeLamar next
week.
Sore throats and colds seem nu-
merous these days.
This is the last day ON which the
registry books will be open.
j Political Smiles.
The following political jokelets are
taken from the Elko Argonaut.
s. r. Davis, Silver party candidate
for Controller, is humorist. This
run he is making is all practical
| joke.
Goth Hast runs for Regent on the
Democratic ticket. Mein Colt Haist
you will never get there if you don't
run NIT more haste.
