There is considerable specula-
ton as to who and what interests
are behind the proposition to test
that part of the primary election
law that provides for an expression
of the voters on the United States
senatorship.
Certainly the move, made at
this late date, just a few days
before election, is not in the in
terest Of the people nor can it be
in the interest of Mr.. Marshall,
who received the votes Of the bulk
of the insurgent faction Of the re-
publicanparty for senator at the
primaries, and came close to rs.
ceiving the necessary forty per
cent to constitute him the regular,
republican nominee before the
Legislature. Itsshould be horne ia la
mind that the provision il the
primary law regarding S. sen;

an expression Of the people and
secure a pledge from legislative
nominees that they would abide
the result and obey the wishes Of
the party as expressed by the re-
publican voters. What harm can
come from having an expression!
of the people on the important
question of who shall be the United
States senator from this state?
Who is it and what interest in

fee it to say the present move is
wrong and should be condemned
by all good citizens OF the state.
The most plausible theory is that
the move is aimed at Mr.. Marshall,
who, it is believed, if the people
have a chance to express them
selves next week between Mr..
Marshall and Mr.. johnson, with
whom the insurgents have been.

been eliminated in the first pri-
mary vote, the logical candidate Of

why some hold-over state senators

MARK TWAIN's CABIN
STILL At AURORA

In Aurora, once the county seat of
Esmeralda county, Nevada. there
lives today score or more of old
gentlemen whose hopes have grown
grey with their boards, but whose
memories are yet vivid with the per-
sonal rememberanees of Mark Twain,
says the Inyo Magazine. These men
lived there when Aurora was known
as Esmeralda, when Mark Twain
lived among them in a cabin which
still holds it's prominent position at
the head of the town, and when the
great Wild West mine, of which he
speaks in his book, became the prop
erty for ten days of Twain and his
partners.
The last census of Aurora showed
three-fourths of its population as
wearing grey boards and above the
age of seventy. As though the funny
spirit of Twain still fingered about
the spot, his scores of personal ad-
mirers in Aurora have remained the
steadfast guardians of the place,
laughing at the passage of time and
fortunes. Their pride has centered
in two features of the place-the
mine which he once owned and care
leesly lost, and from which sub
sequently seven millions in silver
were taken, and his cabin. which has
been stripped entirely of its shingles
by causual visitors seeking for
mementoes, and which was publicly
reshingled by the residents of Au-
rora.
Aurora is a way station now on
the road setween Thorn and Bodie.
