Nominee For Governor

Only fragmentary election returns
have been received in Phoebe from
over the state, but telegram from
the Reno Gazette to the Record con-
veys the information that Tasker L.
Oddie has won the republican nOmi-
nation fer governor by about 1875 vot-
es; while George Springmeyer has de-
feated Hugh II. Brown for Ghe repub-
iican nomination for attorney gener-
al by the narrow margin of sixty odd
votes.
The strength of Springmeyer in the
primaries is the surprising feature

contest on the governership was ex-

The ether hand, the supporters of
Mr.. Oddie were equally sanguine of
winning the nomination for the Nye
county favorite. Governor Oddie made
more active campaign than his
opponent did and visited practically
every county in the state-Lincoln be-
Ing one of the exceptions. Where he
could not reach place by rail, Mr..
oddie went by automobile. There is
no doubt that he will swing around
this way beforeNovember and get bet
ter acquainted with the voters. Mr..
Odde is immensely popular in his
home county, while Esmeralda and
Others on the western side of the
state rolled up a huge vote for him.
There is no discountfng the fact that
he will be vote getter in November

Thursday afternoon, Senator Nlxon
again wired that the department had
ordered six-times-a-week service sup

mail is carried by train. This incor-
nation was later confirmed In Z tele.
gram from Division Superintendent
stephens at San Francisco. who sh-
thorized Postmaster Carman to con-
tract the service ON the basis OF not
to exceed $4S per week. Local tres
por'ation companies refused to co11fd.
er the matter at the price. 1t wa1 ~
serted by the latter that 1t would b
losing game. The injustice OF tde
proposition is shown by the fact that
the government allows the railroad
$l3 per trip. or nearly $40O per month
for the same service.
