JUST FOR INFORMATION.
Mr.. "Billy'' o

Editor Bonanza. Tonopah.
Dear brother in this vale Of tears:-This is just to ask you a
few questions regarding the political situation as it appears to you.
To tell you the truth that living right here among the politicians
a fellow is almost afraid to mention anything about politics for
the simple reason that the politicians have all got their eye on the
other fellow and arr afraid to say anything.
There is a paper over in Reno that is run by a man named
Kiborn who packed up his carpet bag in Colorado a short time
ago and emigrated to this state and now wants to serve the dear
"peepul" in the United States senate. Well he accuses your paper,
the Bonanza. and likewise the Carson News, with wanting to elect
Bartlett a governor aud states that the News "a supposedly re-
publican organ" was champtoing Bartlett and that you followed
our lead and piled the palaver on a little thicker
Now, billie" that is quite laughable and let's enjoy it, but
that is not what wanted to ask you. The question is this: Can
we elect a woman to the United States senate from the state of
Nevada?
ought to know these things, OF course could ask the Journal
about it but their wish being father to the thought might in
fuence their decision.
What about this man -KiIborn anyhow? What party does he
represent and how does he expect to get solid with his party by
knocking Bartlett and Nixon and every one else but Kiborn? Is
he the whole Democratic party and the foster father of Major
MONTE BL1NKER.
The above is from the Carson City News, a Republican pa
per. We appreciate the high regard that paper has for our pohti-
cal integrity by asking us to solve some pertinent problems.
While the Journal has accused the Bonanza of boosting Bart
lett for governor. this paper has paid little heed to its comments
on things political It's ignorance of what is what and who is who
in Nevada renders it almost a non-entity. If its subscription de-
pended on it's editorials, its advertising columns would be COM
pletely deserted.
There is 1t this time a proposition on in Nevada at least to
change the term Democratic to Knbornatie, or better still XII
borHatft.
II may be possible tt elect a woman to the United States
senate if there is a split in the party.
1t has not been learned to what party Klborn is attached
He wants the Democratic nomination, though it is barely possible
that he would accept it on most any old ticket, Judging from
the very nimble way he has of jumping from one to the other
He can hope to accomplish little by proceeding along the
lines he has laid down He will awaken to a realization of the
fact that he is not omnipotent and that the powers that be rest with
him as an individual, His views of what is right in the premises
are excepted TO by quite a number Of Democrats who to say the
least are as loyal as he.
After a residence in this territory and state for sixtytwo
years, our opinion should be worth something. Our prophecy is
that next fall will witness a sweeping victory for the Republ-
cans billy" McGin of White Pine will warm the gubernatorial
seat and he will carry his ticket with him. Democracy is dead in
Nevada, due principally to the accomplishment of nothing of pub
lie benefit.
