The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1910-07-23

the principal topic of discussion.
Such is the situation not only here In
Lincoln county. but all over the state
The primary election law, which is
something entirely new to Nevada
voters, Is causing some confusion, but
as people learn more about it there
is less CONSERVATION and the veri-
| fication deputies who are making the
rounds find 1t easier shedding to get
signers to nomination papers. Some
OF the more skeptical ones have
fought shy of attaching their name
to these documents; for fear that
there is joker hidden somewhere
which would work to their disadvant-
age. However, this class Is compara-
lively few, much to the credit OF the
intelligence OF the people OF this
! county and state.
| In state politics the candidates are
shaping up for the fray at the Septem
Der primaries. From every corner of
the commonwealth word comes that
Senator Nixon's candidacy for the re-
publican nomination Is meeting with
popular approval. In fact, everybody
Is shouting for Nixon, as far as the
republicans are concerned and hun
dreds OF democrats would be glad
ani anxious to sign his nomination
papers II they could legally do so.
Nevertheless, there Is nothing to
pre- eat Them from voting for the sen.
dtaf II November; and that Is lust
y . aaiareds OF them will do.
iio democrats have three corner
ed fight on for senator, namely,
Sweeney, McInto, II and Pittman The
J fight Is bitter between them and no
matter which one wins at the party
i primary, he Is only up to be sacri-
+ flced in November.
THE GOvERNORSHIP
: Judge Massey Of Reno and Tasker
, L. Oddie, the republican candidates
} for governor are having their peti-
, tions circulated throughout the state.
Both are excellent gentlemen; they
are warm friends and the contest
: Tn are wa2ing Is a friendly one.
} 50 no matter whether Massey or Cd
die get the most votes at tue repub
l lican primaries, Nevada Is sure OF
: having a good governor when Den
!, yer s. Dickerson steps out of the ex
/, ecutive mansion at Carson next Jan
] uary. Governor Dickerson wants t6
: succeed himself; but the incessan
turmoil and strife between the Dick
erson and Sweeney factions of the
party will be responsible for his un
ding. Frank X. Nicholas, forme
state engineer, is fighting him teetl
ami toe nail and he is willing to sac
rifice himself on the political alta
In order to aid in bringing abou
Dickerson's Waterloo.
