There is a good deal or talk, much
of which is pure buncO about what
the next legislature will do.
The fact that it is strongly Demo
cratic in political complexion is TAX
en- as an excuse for all sorts of wild
things, all Of which are based upon
nothing but a desire to embarass the
state administration and to create
sentiment of one kind or another
in the minds OF the Legislators who
will convene on Monday for a GO day
session.
Efforts are being made by interest
ed persons both Democratic and Re-
publican to cast aside the Democratic
organization. There is all sort of
talk about this or that caucus and
this or that agreement and pledge
is in sight to listen to the reports
that are being circulated this week.
lature will behave just about as all
other legislatures have in the past.
The organization will be completed
and the usual number of fool bills
and resolutions will be handed in.
Two or three strong men will ap-
pear and these will lead in each

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee will be on hand to see that
the pledges made in the state plat
form last fall are fulfilled. There
will be the usual amount of oppOs-
ton even to this but it will go
through. the insurgent element not
withstanding.
AS for the attache graft, one that
has been in the past, nOtOriOusly rot
ten, the state central cOmmitte has
apportioned the patronage on the
vote cast for governor two years ago,
the same basis upon which the state
central committee is organized and
the same upon which the state con
vention was made up.
An assemblyman here and there
and a senator here and there are
making a loud talk about what he
will do when he gets to Carson City
and they" try to make him take
program. In every case Of this kind
the talk is made by some fellow who
took the state central committees
money and instructions, made his
fight and won by good majority
because of the central committees
support. In some cases the talker
is holdover with an exalted idea
of his own Importance and in these
cases the talk is made by men who
handled funds for the state central
committee and now seek to direct
the affairs of the party in spite of
the the fact that the Governor is
the head Of the party in this state
and more vitaily interested than any
other person.
Two or three petty office seekers
who have never done anything for
Nevada except furnish their hardy
reputation as a target in a campaign

inSurgent wing and are Dragging
about their services to the party
and their claims to reward and these
are without exception appOintve Of
ticers.
All these are behind some bill or
other and behind some frame up or
