While Tuesday was a Democratic
day, nationally, the Republicans of
White Pine county. were very much
in evidence after the votes were
counted. Election day was one of
N~evada's very best from the weather
standpoint, and there was no excuse

judging from results, not very many
did remain away. OF course, quite
a number of voters had left the dis
trict on accoun of the recent labor
dispute, but those who remained
were mostly accounted for, and
registered their preference at the
polls during the day. The campaign
had been an interesting one and the
atmosphere preceding election day
had been charged with predictions.
There was an air of uncertainty that
kent candidates on the anxious seat,
and also tended to bring out the
voters.
And when the votes were counted
quite a surprise package was opened.
The 'I-told-you-sos' were all cooked
and primed to spring their odious
knowledge. but for some reason or
other the results did not jibe with
expectations In several instances.

which was to float over Ely became

Socialists were no better stand-pat-

But on the whole. with TWO or
three exceptions, the results were
very satisfactory. to Republicans,
and apparently to everyone else,
judging from the vote.
Massey and Roberts, Republican
candidates for United States enato
and congressman, ran we'll, showing
that their friends stood by them in
every section of the country.
The senatorial contest Is yet

there will be two Republican SEN
