NEGLECT TO SECURE TRANSFERS
Rash to Walker River Reservation
Taking Away Voters

The political forecasters of the State
are calculating the effect of the rush in
to the Walker River Reservation, and
the prevailing sentiment is that the
Democratic party will be the greatest
sufferer. II is believed that not less
than 1000 voters. and perhaps 5000, will
go into the district on the Goth. and few
OF these are sufficiently interested in
the State or county campaigns to return
home aud vote. The investigation al
ready shows that practically none Of
those who are leaving for the reserva-
tion are obtaining transfers that will
enable them to vote elsewhere.
1t is conceded that a majority Of the
miners are Democrats. and consequent
~ the Republicans will not worry about
the matter unless the Democrats ar.
range to transport the voters back to
their precincts. This is being discussed
by the Democratic State Committee.
