POLITICAL POT STARTS
To WARM UP With
The WEATHER
The Coming Campaign Is Expected to
Be q Hot One, Both Locally
and Through State

The coming campaign both State
and locally promises to be live one
with more interest attendant upon il
than for many past campaign. The
fact that this is the year that Senator
.Nixon's position must again come up
for contest lends the principal in
tercst to the coming lections. The
nonuniation of Judge Massey for the
Governor ship indicates that there is
going to be a real contest for this
highest executive Office of the state
this year. Jndge Massey is not the
man to allow himself to be led as a
lamb to the slaughter like so many
republicans have done in the past.
He knows where of he speaks, and
with the united support of his party,
the democrat who defeats him for
the Office, of Governor will be well
entitled to the victory. The chances
that there will be change in the
executive department of Nevada are
better than an even bet.
In the county of Humboldt, the
political bee has been buzzing for
many days, and several have already
begin an active campaign for no
nunation from their respective party.
The principal Office, so far, openly
sought is that of District Attorney.
In past years this Office has been one
of lesser Importance, but the last
legislature, increases the salary COM
ensurate with its duties, and apparent
" from the Contest to be waged it is
regared now as one Of the most i'm
,peztant. Three aYewed candidates
Ire ott for nomination, all strong
men politically and men ofrecogized
ability Judge ]. A. Langwith OF
Golconda will see the nomination on
the republican ticket, while Attorney
!. A. Callahan, of Lovelock and
Justice c. E. Rabins of Winnemucca
desire to be a candidate for the
Office, under democrats banner.
With these three in the race, and the
possibility of fourth primary can
didate, it is readily seen that the in
terest will be intense, over this Office.
Then there are all the Offices in the
county in which the present term
expires this year. A District Judge
is to be elected, for Humboldt
County. 1t is said that district Attor
ney E. A. Ducker. will see the
democratic nomination, while, l.. G..
Campbell the widely known Love
lock Attorney will accept the Repub
lican nomination and if runor be true
Here again will interest be at fever
heat.
The Sheriff Office, will undoubted
ly be up for contest. The solid south
got behind Mr. Cooper last fall, but
that was not equal to united north
for Mr.. Lamb, In a similar contest
this year Mr.. Lamb would be at a
better advantage, because the north
ern end of the county has gained in
vote numbers while the southern end
has lost. Mr.. Cooper has not yet
given out any defenite information
about his candidacy, but it is under
stood that under advice of friends he
is carefully considering the matter.
A Senator from the Northern end
end in to be elected. Then there
are the commissioners, the treasurer
the recorder, the clerk, and the
assessor. None from the south that
we have heard of have signifieG their
intention of running foryany of these
offices. 1t is said that C.. w. McDeid
and Honest Bill Blattner, will both
Strive to be reflected to tine com
missioner ships, but who is to oppose
them has not yet been made public.
Mr.. Blattners Chief bid to political
fame was his turning down of the
honest and needed resolution of COM
missioner Stoker against the county
sAnting graft. Faithfully doing the
S.dding Of his political superiors has
characterized his tennre of office.
In township matters bath Judge
Fits and Constable Wolf will seek
reelection Judge Fits won out handi-
ly last year over the combined oppo-
nents..~at s..rS M. t.s 4
Altheugh.hs HIS offended some Of
the poltticpl interests that backed his
candidacy last election, he promises
winning fight for reelection and it
will take formidable rival indeed to
give him an even run. Constable
Wolf declares he stands on his record
in seeking re- election, although his
election will be bitterly opposed by
some faction, he will on the other
hand have the support of others.
