Speculation on the complexion of
the next state senate, with the Unit

the elements of the coming election.
is going on all over the state. says
the Reno journal.
Six state senators are to be elect
ed this fall. The total representation
in the state senate is II. The politi-
cal complexion at the last session
was evenly divided between the DEM
ocrats and Republicans. The presi-
dent of the senate, a Democrat, cast
the deciding vote In case of tie, but
the Ronublieans organized the SEN
ate.

senate before as a Republican. He
has ever been mentioned as posi-
ble contestant against Newlands for
the United States senate, and his an
nouncement AT Winnemucca that he
probably will retire from politics
may or may not be a final dictum.
Newlands must elect four OF these
new senators TO hold his own in the
state senate on Joint ballot. The as'
semblv was decidedly Democratic at
the last session. but Robert Skaggs
continues to declare that he will do
all possible to disrupt that complex
ion as far as il affects Newlands, ana
there may be switch. At present
Skaggs Is not making very loud
noise in politics and may not tune up
at all during the campaign.
