SOME POLITICAL
TALK COMMON

A Reno dispatcn printed in the
Carson News, says:
The anti-Dickerson wing of the
Democratic party has completed it's
slate and the brave heroes of the
fighting wing claim hat they will
have a clean sweep in the primaries
and have selected a ticket bearing
such weight that there will be an
easy victory for them at the polls
or at least that is what they claim.
A few days ago a ticket was pre-
sented in the press which seemed
to have the earmarks of the Consi-
dine faction or in other words the
Dickerson ticket. This has caused
many a laugh to go among the Demo-
Gratis of this section and one of the
leaders between his laughs stated:
The convention this year will be con-
trolled by the same faction that had
a nand and the upper hand in it last
year. The split in the party is wild
ening hour by hour and when the
moment comes it will be just the
way we want it and here it is: For
United States Senator we will nom
mate James G. Sweeney, the present
supreme court Judge n We will
carry him on to victory. The country
needs young men and Jim, a native
son and fit for the place, will be the
choice of the people. For congress
we will return George Bartlett. He
has made good in the position and
the state needs him there for an
other term. For governor will be
either Senator Hunter or Bob
noi,u1ocC nithnr of tho two will mako
a strong candldate and are capable of
filling the Office in a manner in which
it should be. For Lieut.. Gov. will
be the present State Engineer Mich
oias. 1t will be. a surprise to many
to know that he is in our ranks, but
such he is Notwithstanding the claims
of the D~ickersonites. For judge of
the supreme court will be Judge
Bartine, now chairman of the Rail-
road commission. For secretary of
state comes Sheriff Jack Owens, a
man who has a sore spot Over the
way the assessors were treated in
Carson by the present governor and
has been fighting for the ticket here
in lined up eve since that day. For
state controller ONE George Brod-
igan of Goldfield, one of the strong
est men of the south. State Treas
urer will be handed again to Dave
Ryan as he has made good in the
Office and should be reelected. Fol
Attorney General will be either Geo.
B. Payne or Cleve Baker. Either one
of the men will accept the Office and
is sure of the nomination but just
which has not as yet been decided
upon. For state printer will be Will
U. Mackey. He mas been at the state
printing office in immediate charge
for the past twelve years and the
party believes that he should be re-
warded for his consistency. For SUI
p~erintendent of Schools will be E.
e. Winfrey, a we'll known educator
of the state.
While the Democratic slate is be-
ing prepared there is considerable
speculation as to who will be the Re-
publican nominees and the Republic
cans in their wisdom are letting the
Democrats go ahead and do the
shouting and when the ballots are
counted they will eat the plums.
The anti-Dickerson wing of the
Democracy claim that should
through some accident, the present
be nominated, it would b
an easy matter for Justice Frank
Norcross to step in and capture the
gubernatorial seat, but there is but
little being said by the Republicans
and it will be their policy to step in
and make a quick fight and carry on
the honors Of the day.
