POLITICS In
STATE and
COUNTY
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

one week from today the voters or
Nevada as if gathered in two and
more great conventions and each voter
a delegate, will for the first time in
the history of the state directly nomi-
nate candidates to run for Office on all
party tickets. The nominations have
been closed and it but remains for the
delegates of different political faiths
to choose the men they desire and con-
slider are best fitted to represent the
party in the main struggle which will
be on when the present is concluded.
The balance of the week win without
doubt be very lively in a political way.
Locally there is every evidence of
."extra" money in circulation. Con-
siderable is being spent by men not
generally known as "spenders" and
singular as it may seem considering
from whence these workers spring
affluent, the word is being passed in
favor of Democratic candidates in cases
where there are contests. There is
every indication that the election in
Goldfeld next Tuesday will be one of
the "busiest" every held here.
Out in the state the runners are
coming down the home stretch and
many claim that it is easy to see who
is in the lead on the two tracks, one
RAILROAD and the other just a plain
speedway. In fact, it seems easy to
most everybody.
Governor Dickerson, Key Pittman, c.
s.. Sprague, John O'Sullivan and other
Democratic candidates are heading in
to Reno after a tour of the east and
north, which was even more successful
and enthusiastic than the most sanguine
one could have expected. At Ely, Nc
Gill, Wells, Winnemucca, Battle Noun
tain, Lovelock and various other places
these candidates met with such gen
timely enthusiastic receptions that it Is
felt that no amount of calumny and
money can tear down their strength.
Thursday night at the Majestic theater
in Reno Messrs. Dickerson, Pittman,
Sprapue and others will address the
voters of that section. Later in the
week, probably on Saturday night
they will address the electorate OF
Goldfeld at the Hippodrome theater.
On last Sunday Judge Sweeney, can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for United States senator, accompanied
by George Bartlett, left Carson to cam
paign through the northern and eastern
mart of the state. The Carson News
supporting Senator Nixon through thu
and thick, upon the departure of Judge
Sweeney printed an editorial strongly
commencing his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination.
On Thursday night next Hugh Mcln'
tosh of Tonopah, also a candidate To-
the Democratic nomination for the
United States senate. will speak IL
Goldfeld, the Hippodrome having beer
engaged for the purpose. 1t IS under
stood that the local brass band and
the drum corps will help to make TN
meeting the first real big "noise' Of
the campaign. George Thatcher, aspi
rant for the Democratic nomination foi
encouragement, will also speak Thurs
day night from the same platform.
AS to the Republican candidates TO
governor. Judge Massey and Tasker L
eddie, they are both campaigning
"along the railroad" the latter IN nj
"~sawed-offn automobile, which ha
been in every mining camp IN tn
state. Massey is strictly a raiiroa'
man and not given to automobiles. l
looks like a close fight between IN
two.
As to Hugh Brown and Georg
| Springmeyer, candidates for the attor
ney-generalship at the Republican pr
maries, reports coming in Indicate tina
the latter has good reason to be san
yuine of success. Brown is a raiiroa'
attorney and Springmeyer holds tina
railroad attorneys the world over neve
make good Ito the people) attorney
generals. -,
The primary election here IN uoio
! field on next Tuesday is going 10 y
very interesting to watch-eiose'y.
