Que Of Elko's prominent citizens
remarked this morning, in speaking
OF the Senatorial fight, that it seemed
u little strange to him that the men
who shouted so Justify for "home
rule" during the campaign were now
bowling their level best for Newlands.
He said further, that compared with
Stewart, he considered Newlands n
carpet-bagger. 1t is a little strange
that the man who shouted himself
no lrse for "home rule" during the
campaign should now shout equally
as lJud for tile most recent political
importation to the State. But then
this is a free country and everybody
has II right to his own opinions and is
free to be as inconsistent as he wants
to-.

THE GovEKNoRsHIP UNCERTAIN.

situation has arisen III Eureka county
that may give MIR. Mcmillan the of
f1ce. Gregovich and Powell were
candidates for Assessor of Eureka
county ut the recent election and the
official canvass gave Powell Il major
ity Of 16. Gregovich begun a contest
on the ground that illegal votes had
been cast and counted for Powell.
One Of the counts was that ballots
were cast for township officers other
than that IN which the voter resided.
TO illustrate, voters residing in Pail
aade township voted for the officers of
Eureka township and vice versd
The contest was heard before Judge
Fitzgerald last week and a great many
ballots we're objected to by both par
ties. Yesterday Judge Fitzgerald
ruled on the disputed ballots and re-
jected I'll. Many Of these ballots
were rejected on the ground above
given, that is that they were cast for
township officers other than that in
which the voter resided. The same
question arose in the Sweeney Hui
contest two years ago and the Su-
preme Court held that all such bal
lots were illegal. A Eureka dispatch
to the Reno Gazette Gays that the
rejected ballots are about two to one
for Sadler as against Mcmillan, and
that a conservative estimate is that
this will gi"e Mcmillan a plurality Of
about 80 votes over Sadler, eveh if the
soldier vote is not counted.
Should the Supreme Court sustain
Judge Fitzgerald i'll rejecting these
ballots, there seems to be but slight
hopes for Sadler unless he can offset
it in the other counties. In addition
to the situation in Eureka county a
contest has been begun in Humboldt

now stands, the outcome Ii involved
in good deal Of uncertainty. At

There Is work already cut out for the organization. The volunteers that will be called out from California will re- Quire much in the way of medical equipment Ambulances for use on the field will be wanted at once. There will also be needed many cases of surgical instruments for use in the field, and others for the equipment of the hospi- tals that will have to be established when the soldiers get to the front There will be a thousand and one other things that will be required for the care and comfort of the sick and wounded, and no one but those for whom the brave boys went to the front to fight can supply them. The medical department of the army supplies and supplies literally the actual necessaries of the hospitals, but 1t does not give the many delicacies and strength giv- ing foods that only those who have been i'll know how to appreciate. Then as the war goes on and the sick and required, and they will have to be fur nished and supported. Organization cannot be made too quickly, and when it is done let the whole State stand ready to do it's share and more of the Humanitarian work. That can only be done by an organization so complete that it can respond for all that is called for at a moments notice
