beld throughout the county today, and
q certain amount OF good natured rivalry
exists between factions OF the local Be
mocracy, which is centered largely
around the county cash sack. There
are a number of old political warhorses
who would likc the privilege OF carrying
the mazuma, during the ensuing Two
years, and the fight for the Democratic
nomination for treasurer is anybody's
fight as yet j. W Richards, the pres
ent incumbent, who has made very
satisfactory record during his term of
office and Thomas polf, the we'll known
farmer-poltieian are the chief contest
ants for the nomination, and one Of
them Is sure to land the plum
The name of X. l. Douglass Is men
toned prominently far the Democratic
nomination for State Senator, and know
ing ones say that Bob has 4 mortgage
on the party gift, and that it will be
ioreclosed by his agents next Saturday

Mr.. Douglass is we'll equipped mentally
and physically for the arduous duties
incumbent upon the head 9f the legis-

Formidable, both by reason OF his excel
personal magnetism, that 10 aspiring
Office seeker has had the courage 10
dispute his right to the denomination
which will without doubt be by acclaim
alton, when the convention meets.
For County Clerk, the name OF J. W
Sitton is prominently mentioned, and
" hon Mn Giftg1.Fa "a ttaa iAIa ar
considered, ii doesn't seem probable
that his clam Will b. disputed, and
his nomination will very likely be by
aeclamation
4 number OF names are mentioned in
connection with the district attorney
nomination, hnt the successful eandi-
date will be an old timer. District At
toeney W. c. Grimes and Lieutenant
Governor Lemuel Allen are the chlel
contestants, with the odds standing IN
Mr. Allen favor. Either gentleman
would be eminently satisfactory to the
local business interests
OF the two new members to be elected
to the county board of commissioners,
T.. s Hartman, the present chair
man, will be the nominee for the long
term, while Joe Jarvis, OF iairycW, Will
be the short term candidate, ii he can
be induced to accept.
So far the offices Of state assembly
man and county assessor have gone
begging, but the former office will likely
be given to FaiVieW, in addition 10 the
short term commissioner, in recognition
of that camps importance upon the pc
litical map.
The Republicans
n 1
throughout the county next Monday, n
which time siYty-two delegates will he
elected, twenty OF whom Will be elected
in Fallon. The Republican leaders have
been slower in selecting their candidates,
and the latter have also been extreme
ly slow in announcing Themselves As
n result their ticket can not be forecast
ed with as much certainty as can the
Democrats.
For the State Senate the name Of J.
A. Danielson, is prominently mention
ed and as he is very popn
lar man, with all interests in the conn
ty, he will be a hard man Ia beat should
he decide to accept the nomination,
which will without doubt he rendered
him.
Since the withdrawal OF +. 4. Clark,
Of FairXicW, from the race Tor assembly
no other name has been mentioned IN
this connection, but as the office Is con
ceded to the mining sections, il will
very likely be n FairyieW party.
Robert Shirley for sheriff has no OPP
position, and the popular demand tor
his denomination, will carry the LAY lof
him, in the convention. MIR. Shirley
has made an efficient officer.
f. NJ. Brown. for long term comms-
sioner, is the only other Republican
candidate, who has up to the present
time, laid any claim to a nomination.
He will appear before the convention
backed by very strong constituency,
and 50 far, no other candidate has ap-
peared to dispute with him, his claim.
