POLITICAL POT BEGINS
TObO|L OVER THE STATE

the Democrats, for they realize that
In Nixon they have about the hard
est nut to crack that could be found
in many long days travel. Prob
ably no man in the state has as
large number of warm personal
friends in all parties as has the Re-
publican senator. He knows practi-
eally everybody who has been here
iny length of time. he has made good
wherever he has been placed and the
people have confidence in him. Ad-
ded to this is a knowledge of politi-
cal conditions in Nevada that is not
equalled by single man in the state.
As one Democrat said the other day
If my chances of going to heaven
were as bright as Nixon's are of be-
ing returned to the United States sem
ate, ! should feel entirely at ease"
And that about sums up the gener-
al feeling throughout the state. Nixon
will get the Republican nomination
without single sign OF contest, and
On election day in November he will
not only get the Republican vote,
but he will get a large portion of
ihe Democrats. for hundreds of DEM
ocrats In Nevada are George NixOnts
personal friends. His election will
probably come nearer to being unan-
imous than any that has been held
in the state in q long time; espec-
tally II his name goes directly ON the
ballot with that of his opponent as
did the names of Newlands and Flan-
ni2an Two years ago.
| MASSEY FOR GOVERNOR
+ II Judge w. A. Massey will accept
the nomination for governor he can
get ii without effort. 1t would be diff
ficult to find stronger man than
Judge Massey. He has been a resident
Of the state for score of years, and
his friends are countless. 1t is a safe
bet that II he were a candidate the
banner Democratic county, Elko.
where he formerly lived and is great
iy loved, would return splendid ma.
Jcrity for him. He is one of the lead
ers Of the Nevada bar, q man Of
great firmness and unquestioned abil.
ity. Goes with that his wholesome
geninlity, which caused thousands Of
people throughout the state to await
eagerly news from his bedside when
he lay critically Ill about two years
ago. followed by sincere rejoicing
when 1t was learned thathe would not
only recover but that he would be
more tit than he had been In years
Judge Massey has not as yet said
that he would be a candidate, but
1t Is thought that he will heed the
united request Of his party, and al
lew his name to be placed at the
head OF the state ticket this year.
| NORCROSS AGAIN
| Frank Norcross will be a candidate
to succeed himself on the supreme
bench, and his election Is another
that many Of the Democrats concede.
Norcross has made an enviable rec
ord on the supreme bench, and Is
universally respected. He Is deep
student Of law and is undeniably fear
less in deciding according to his con.
victiOns.
BROWN FOR CONGRESS
Il For congress there Is much talk OF
Hugh Brown of Tonopah. Brown was
, a candidate two years ago against
Talbot. At that time he was almost
: stranger to the rest of the state,
! and his opponent was admittedly one
Of the strongest men in the Demo.
/ cratic party. Starting with that tre.
mendous handicap, Brown made a
t cainwign seldom equalled in this
tate. Wherever he went he made
friends by the score. His fight was
,lean and dignified. and by his at.
} ,rae;ive personality and his convin.
d cling manner, added to an eloquent
, .on9ue that is not surpassed In Ne.
ada. he came near 10 turning into
'ictoIy what many Of his friends
.hought would be an Overwhelming
ieseat on account of the huge odds
which he was fighting II his name
; GOES on the ticket for congress his
election will be certain.
: EGGERS A CERTAINTY
Jake Eggers will again be In the
icld for state controller Jake was on
I. OF the few Republicans to weather
The flood four years ago, and he Ia
J ready to turn the trick again. He
Is one Of the few Republicans who
: AN carry Elko county They know
! him hest out there, for he was Elko's
, lassessor for years. It is q pretty
J good testimonial when q mans home
folks rtand by him regardless Of part
