The determined fight FOR victory
to be made by the Republican party
of White Pine county at the election
in November and the untiring efforts
by all supporters of the party 10 re-
move all obstacles in the way OF
success is visible on all sides and
shown in a very marked way from the
attitude of the various candidates in
the field for the nominations that
will be made at the county conven-
ton.
For nearly every office there are
TWO or more candidates for the NOM
nations and the contests will be keen
and well fought However, there is
not the slightest selfishness i'm the
attitude OF any of the candidates
that will lend TO the party's injury
on election day All are out for the
nominations in earnest, but win or
lose at the county convention they
are determined to lend every ounce
of energy toward a sweeping victory
for The Republican ticket
- One illustration of the determine
ton to effect victory by an over
whelming majority for the party
was in the attitude shown yesterday
by the candidates out for nomination
for the Office of sheriff. Deputy Sher-
iff' Al Butler some time ago an
nounced his candidacy for the office
and has been lining up his forces
for the nomination on the Republic
can ticket. In opposition tn Mr.
Butler will be Alex Baird. who yes
terday announced that he would also
be in the field for the Republican
nomination.
One of the first persons to whom
Mr.. Baird made mention of his cam
didacy was Mr.. Butler and he fur

supporters and YOU will not lose

selves afterward is my attitude now
and will be all through the cam
paign.'
In reply to Mr. Baird's remarks his
opponent came forward with extend
ed hand and at once stated that that
was the only kind of fight he
would make under any circumstances.
The sincerity of the two men was the
kind not brought to the surface for
momentary effect but the sort that
is honest to the core. The same at
titude is apparent all through the

NEWLANDS WOULD
HEAL THE BREACH
Senior United States Senator
Realizes That He is Up Against
the Real Thing.

Driven TO desperation and realizing
that he is practically certain of de-
feat in the coming election Sir Fran
els Newlands, senior United States
senator from this state last evening
called together a number of more or
less prominent Democrats and tried
10 heal few of the various breaches
that have been widening into chasms
during the last few weeks. For some
time number of Newlands' adher-
ents have beenn noting with dispair
the trend of events. and last night S
gathering in the senatorial parlor
was the last frantisc effort TO bring
about at least semblance of har-
mony.
Up there on the nights which are
adorned % with Newlands name
Johnnie Considine came into one Of
his greatest triumphs. for down at
the base of things Considine has been
the thorn in many a fairly-Well-laid
plant of some would-be leaders in
this country and in other parts of the
state.
What do YOU want?f
That was the question thai the au-
gust senator and some of his stael-
lites-Jim Boyd for instance asked
the calm, unrnftied Considine last
night, and that was the question
which ma edSir Francis spill little
champagne last night i'm the hope
that the imprisoned laughter of the
peasant made of France would
make Considine's demands a little
less barbed than they otherwise
would be. But where the plan mis-
carried was in the fact that Consi-
dine and his allies took the pledge

delegates. | want TO name the state
chairman in the Tonopah convention:
want 10 name Washoe's legislative
ticket ! want to lay down the lines
upon which the campaign shall be
carried out.
These are said TO be a. few of
the little pellets which were handed
TO Sir Francis and which took many
glass of fizzy stuff to wash down.
But they were swallowed and the
cohorts which Considine and Hailv
stepped ON and bruised at the recent
primary, tried to grin. and made as
much of success OF the effort as
most men do when they try to weep
at the mother-in-law's funeral.
