1 source he issued a challenge to the
| probable Republican nominee, Pat L.
Flanagan, this year, that their re-
spective names be placed on the bal
lots of the various parties in order
to receive an endorsement at the
hands of the people in the event of
either candidates party being sue
cessful. This move on the paN of
the wiley Newlands would place him
in an impregnable position. In other
words, no other Democrat could pos
sibiy be contender for the position
of United States senator, no matter
what his ability nor the obligations
his party would be under to any other
individual. Rumors of an opposition
has fastened the senator to the
southern part of the state and he viii
be on the ground. There is likely to
develop a fight in the convention as
there are quite few who resent the
senator's assumption of ownership
of the Democratic party.
The Bartlett faction in the party
are claiming enough votes to elect
their man on the first ballot, though
the opposition has been casting
about for dark horse. McCarran is
evidently not in the running while
Judge Bartine has declared that he
would not accept the nomination If it
should be rendered him. He is a
member at present of the state rail-
way commission and believes that he
can be of far greater service to the
state in that capacity as the salary is
fair one, and he will in all likeli-
hood be continued in office for two
years more of Democratic misrule
Henderson of Elko is also spoken of
but no determined effort has been
made in his direction.
For the empty honors of presiden-
tial electors will be G. X. Henderson.
John S. Sparks, Charles S. Sprague.
DR.. Gibson and Carl Young of Raw
hide. Judge George F. Talbot will
be elected by acclamation supreme
Justice, as there is no opposition in
the convention to him. The sur
veyor generalship will not be handed
on platter to the present incumbent,
Charles L. Deadly, while Judge Nc
Craney and Briggs move that the
nomination be made unanimous.
For regents at the university the
honor will undoubtedly go to men
residing in the northern part of the
state.
Judge O'Brien's nomination will b.
made by the delegates from this dis
trict to the convention and will be
ratified by the delegates to the state
