NEvADA'S PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW

"A Reno paper few days ago pub
lished the following analysis Of the
new primary election law which is
to be put into practice next year. 1t
AZ well worth reading and familiar
izing by every citizen OF the state:
In less than year the law pass
for the direct nomination of candi-
dates for public office, will be put
to practical test in this state. The
law entirely changes the system Of
nominations that has prevailed in this
state from the date Of its organiza-
ton, with the exception that nomin-
.tions may still be made by petition
as heretofore. The old time state
and county conventions of political
parties are a thing of the past.
RADICAL CHANGES.
Very few have taken the trouble
to familarize themselves with this
new law, and as it makes such rad.
ical changes in the methods of NOM
mating candidates and the selection
Of those to have charge of party or
anizations, 1t is time the people be-
gan to acquaint themselves with its
provisions. For this purpose, we will
give an outline OF the main features
Of the law.
Suppose John Smith desires to be-
come candidate for governor. or for
any other state or district office, con-
gresham or United States senator
upon the republican. democratic, SO.
cialist or any other party ticket, he
must have qualified electors subscribe
and swear to = nomination paper, 2
y accordance with the form set out
In the statute, giving the name OF the
candidate, his residence, the office
for which he seeks q nomination and
the party principles he represents.
Such paper must be filed with the
secretary of state at least thirty days
before the first Tuesday In September
the date Of the general primary.
STATE NOMINATIONS.

lican or democratic parties, will re-

the same office. Each candidate ma,
