A sharp contest is being waged be-
tween Nat p. Brown of the Nevada
Transcript" and John F. Kidder, own
er of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge
Railroad and Debris Commissioner, for
delegate-at-large from Nevada County
For many years Mr.. Kidder has rep
resented that county in the Republican
State Conventions, elected as delegate
at-large by the County Central Com
mittee, and after q sharp contest be-
fore the County Central Committee, to
which both gentlemen submitted their
candidacy, Mr.. Brown was elected. Mr..
Kidder became dissatisfied, and at the
election called by the Central Com
mittee for the election of delegates
from the several districts, his name was
printed on the tickets that were voted,
and Mr.. Brown, relying on his election
by the Central Committee, was not
candidate, and therefore Mr.. Kidder
was elected. He now claims that
Browns election was Illegal 1t is ar
gued by Mr.. Browns friends that if
he is ousted about a half-dozen dele
cations will be effected by it, they hav-
ing been elected in the same manner
by their respective County Central
Committees. On the other hand, Mr..
Kidder's friends say that he was fairly
elected by the people, whose voice
should be more potent than that Of the
County Central Committee.
