MCMu|fn Comes Out
for Recorder Nomination

c. B. McMullin of Caliente has an
nounced his candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for the office of
county recorder and ex-officio audi
tor, to- succeed Charles Culverwell,
incubent. Mr.. McMullin is the pres
ent postmaster at Caliente, but hay
ing resigned the position re-
cent y, expects to be relieved of the
duties Sept 1, when o. X. Adcock
will assume the responsibilities of hand
ling Uncle Sans business in the rail-
road town.
AS Mr.. McMullin has hosts of
warm friends in the county, his candi /
dacy will doubtless add strength to
the ticket. He was formerly in the
employ of the Phoebe Golden Prince
Mining company and he is, therefore.
well known about Phoebe.
The fight for recorder will be q
three-cornered one. While Mr. Culver
well will be the regular democratic
nominee; Frank M. Lee, also dem
ocrat, will run Independently.
A FULL HOUSE
The democrats will have full set
of candidates in the field this fall.
Now that George o. Sawyer has
come out for district attorney, there
will be no vacancies on the ticket,
with the possible exception of pub
lie administrator and county survey
or AS there is no money in those
jobs. they will go begging. Anyway
who ever heard of democrat want
ing place without he saw a chance
to make money out of it?
There are still some vacant

PRIMARY BALLOTS.
Only The Name OF County Commit
teeman Can Be Written.

Light was shed yesterday on the
question whether it is permitted to
write the. name of candidate on the
primary ballot when Attorney Fred
Hart in an interview pointed out
iome of the differences between the
California primary act and that of
Nevada, says the Nevada State Jour
nal
Under the Nevada primary act II
is not permissible for a voter to write
the name Of candidate on the pri
mary ballot" said Attorney Hart In
California this can be done because
special provision is made for it in
the law itself.
The one exception in the Nevada
law is the case of the county COM
aittteeman Here there is no pro
vision for nominating candidates e,
cept by writing the name of tht
selection.

Although the post office department

pealed to by Senator Nixon, in behalf
of the residents of Phoebe, authorized
six-times-a-week mail service; that
service has not yet been inaugurated
for the reason that the department
placed the maximum amount it would

than enough to pay for horse feed.

In the California law, in describ.
ing the manner In which the official
primary ballot shall be prepared. dis
rection Is given to leave blank spaces
under each list OF candidates for
the purpose of enabling the voter to
write in names of his own selection.
The Nevada law contains no such
provision. 1t contains a provision for
the placing of blank spaces, but by
emitting the statement of the purpose
of these spaces, negatives the idea
that they are for the purpose Of en-
abling voter to write his name.
1T Is probable that the object of
the present law in providing for blank
spaces was that in the event Of the
death, disability or declination of a
mitteeman may supply the deficiency
by designating substitute whose
name may be either written or
stamped on the ballot"
