fagots under the political pot began
TO crackle SO early as they are this
year. Although the fateful Novem-
er day is over eight months away,
ihe fire is burning briskly and there
.s Il merry hum in the kettle which
ausurs most auspiciously for fine
large time later on. lnasmuch as
:his Is the year In which everybody
las the chance of taking a crack
al somebody else. for a whole state
ticket. in addition to senator and
congressman and county officials, Is

that interest should manifest itself
early. But that the game should
start off 80 fiercely makes even the
old veterans of many a hard-fought
battle sit Up and take notice. There
Is good hunting afoot; mark that.
DICKERSON'S CHANCES
1ickerson is going to have a pret-
ty scrap on his hands when the time
comes for him TO win the Democratic
nomination. 1t is safe to say that
the wing Of the Democratic party
that ma:ab,.rs srch men as Bartlett
ana Judge Sweeney and Charles Lew
ers ant ,'ncle Geo Russell and Sen
atnr Tom Hunter and Judge Brown
and Charles Henderson and many
others who have always been powers
in the party will fight to fin
ish AnG ii anybody tells you that
That wing is puny one, just look
him Ia the eye and ask him to tell
yuu upon vha' he bases his opin-
ion. Despite pickerson's attempt to
pursue the nonentity course and
say nothing, he has made hosts Of
strong enemies whose unrush will
be hard 20 withstand when they get
into action. The only difficulty of
the opposition IL going to be III cen
tcring upon some one man, but that
will be met. 1t would not be sur

Elko would b. the man agreed upon.
Hmnter and n;ckerson like each 9TH

l,artlett is candidate and is ready
to go before his party on his record
but his enemies have declared that

Sam Belford has been mentioned az

The latest aspirant is said to be
"Cry-baby" Kilborn whose mlsfor

Reno Journal.
A PARTY UP IN THE AIh
II ever a party were at sea in a
senatorial year that party is the Dem
ccratic party OF Nevada. Here IL
is. the time when they should be
some semblance of agreement upor
the man who Is to head the ticket
ana not single name has been
suggested in seriousness. Hudson o.
Eiko has announced his intentions
but he is an unknown man withou
ally following.
Dick" Stoddard will be. candi
iase to succeed himself as attorne!
general. although he, too. is III
bad" with the lord high councillor
o. Dickerson. The governor himsel
processes an ardent friendship TO
Stoddard, but it is safe to say tina
the attorney general has his wealth
ar eye peeled, and will never wall
Trough political alley withou
looking behind him. He knows tina
D.ckersons satellites have theiI
stilletoes out for his heart, ant
he Is taking no chances.
Opposing Stoddard will be Clev
yiaker Of Nye. the young district alto
ney who is said to have the doubi'
.istinction OF being the youngest dii
irict attorney in the state and also
knowing less law than any other
