TUESDAYS ELECTION

Reviewing the result of Tues.
days election in Nevada, it can be
truthfully said that it contains few
surprises. The republicans have
won the three most important
Offices on the State ticket and
several of the minor ones. The
only successful democratic candi-
dates are those who were carried
through by their personal popular
ity or superior qualifications for
the Offices to which they aspired.
1.-THE reelection of Senator
Nixon was q result that was gen.
orally expected, aside from
political conditions, though the
extent of his victory was doubtless
influenced by the same cause which
resulted in the ele ction of T. L.
Oddie as Governor and E. E.
Roberts as Congressman-the dis
organized and inharmonious condi-
ton Of the democratic party in
Nevada. No party ever won a
victory, local, State or national,
under such conditions of internal
dissension as have prevailed in the
democratic party in Nevada. during
the past three years. And there is
little likelihood of the Nevada
democracy again securing the
ascendancy except under broad
minded. unselfish leadership, under
which the present warning ele-
ments of the party can and will
unite. The democratic machine
which was given its preliminary
trial last Tuesday in Nevada was
poorly constructed and there were
too many missing parts. 1t was
built of poor material and simply
wouldn't run.-Humboldt Star.
If the democratic party expects
to win the election two years
hence, there must be change of
leadership. The rule or ruin
policy followed in the last cam
paign must give way to a leader
ship that is broad and intelligent
enough to harmonic the different
fac lions. The policy of the
leaders in the last campaign
seemed to be based on the theory
that the old time democrats of the
state, the men who had made the
party and kept it alive in its dark
est days, were of no consequence
and had no right to voice in the
councils of the party.
That this action of t he so called
leaders antagonized q large ele-
ment of the party that showed its
resentment at the polls is not to
be wondered at. These men placed
their self-respect and the future of
their party above victory won
along such lines.
Awhile the defeat of Mr.. Pittman
and Mr.. Sprae ue is doubtless due
to other causes, the defeat of
Governor Dickerson was caused by
a rebellion in the party ranks.
democrats, who never before voted
for a republican governor, voted
for Mr.. Oddie as rebuke to the
men who sought by insult and
ridicule to drive them from the
party.
Under a wise and liberal leader
ship. the party can be united for a
victorious campaign two years
hence. But this cannot be accom-
plished by the continued Insult and
abuse Of the old time democratic
leaders Of the state. These men
have large following that will
resent in the future as in the past
any attempt to read them out Of
the party by the men who now con-
troll IL.
