If the official vote of the primary
election as given elsewhere is any
criterion. Nevada is a very close
state politically. To our mind,
the vote for governor furnishes
the best test. 4 spirited fight was
made IN both parties for this office
and the official vote shows a demo
cratic majority Of only 40l. The
total democratic vote cast at the
primary election is considerably
ovcr onc-half Of that cast for
presidential electors two years
ago. This indicates a democratic
majority of less that 1000 in the
state.
Less than $50 voters have
registered in this precinct so far.
According to the registration 70,
