The time for choosing candidates
to represent the democrats at the
November election will soon be
here and the merits Of the differ
ent candidates Tor governor should
be closely canvassed by the demo
cratic voters. Frank r. Nicholas,
ex-state engineer, and Governor
Dickcrson are aspirants for this
office. Between these two men,
| our choice is Mr.. Nicholas. His
record as state engineer is clean,
Notwithstanding the governors
| attempt to besmirch him. He has
been a resident Of the state for
twenty years or more and is
thoroughly acquainted with its
condition and knows it needs. We
believe the democratic voters will
make no mistake by voting for Mr..
Nicholas on September 9th.
The Reno Journal has a lengthy
article extolling Governor Dicker-
sons record. 1t overlooks some of
the things the governor has done
that need explaining. Among
these is his veto of the bill making
an appropriation for a biological
labratory at the state university;
his childish conduct in regard tc
the asylum investigation; the
action of the state banking board
in the Eureka County Bank matter
his attempt to override the courts
by ordering the sheriff of "ashoe
county to release prisoners in his
custody; the removal of State
Engineer Nicholas without a hear
ing. These are some of the things
the governor will have to explaiT
before the campaign Is over.
