GROOMING POLIT.
|CAL DARK HORSES

Since the last day for fling nomina-
tions for the primary election, politi-
cal matters locally have been quiet,
but from all accounts it is only the lull
before the storm.
The short-term commissionership
goes to the south end this year, and
thus far the only candidate is ex-
Senator w. c. Pitt, whose name will
appear on the Democratic primary bal
lot. Commissioner Stoker, the pres
ent incumbent Of the Office from the
south end, has not yet, as far as
known, given a decided answer as to
whether he will again be q candidate,
but latest reports indicate that his
friends are busily engaged in groom
ing dark horse, who will be placed in
the field in case he declines to make
the run.
Candidates for the legisloture seem
to be unusually scarce this year.
While the Demoacrts have placed three
candidates in the field, thus far Repub-
lican nominees are confined to DIR.
Swezy. While it is probable that two
more candidates for the assembly will
be named from this end of the county,
at the present writing none are
known.
This year the State Senator goes to
the south end. Senator Carpenter, of
Lovelock, is a candidate for re-elec-
tion, and if his undsputed candidacy is
is satisfactory to the viters Of that
portion of the county, there will be no
opposition from this esd.
AS customary, the Democrats have a
full county ticket in the field, with
the exception of sheriff For this lat
ter Office it is stated there will be at
least two candidates, in addition to the
present incumbent, one independent
Republican and one independent Dem
ocrat.
1t is also stated, on fairly good au-
thorty, trat there will be Independent
candidates for the Offices of county
clerk and auditor and recorder.
1t is not probable that there will be
any more positive announcements un-
til after the primaries, but durng the
month intervening between trat time
and the last day for fling petitions,
things are likely to warm up. In any
evest, it is not probable that any of
the offices will be allowed to 60 blank
or that any of the candidates ON the
cousty ticket, with the possible excep-
ton of two, will escape wtrout a hot
contest.

Today Judge Gilray, representing
plaintiff, filed in the District Court an
action, entitled, William Higley vs.Rye
Patch Consolidated Mining Company
ct al. Plaintiff sues to recover the
sum of $5S,3S2.65, which he alleges

Rye Patch Consolidated Mining com
pany, are non-residents and insolvent,
and that the only property they pos
sess is two patented mining claims,
known as the Alpha and Silver Bell
which have been attached.

THIS IS AN AGE OF
FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS

F'raternal societies and mutual ben
fit organizations in the United States
and Canada count about 100000
members. Their strength increases at a
much greater rate per cent than that
which measures the growth of the
countries in which they flourish.
Some of the youngest have made
wonderful progress. The Eagles, for
example, are only fourteen years old,
but already they number about $780,
900, and they have distributed more
than $S,000,000 in benefits. Now they
are paying out $1,5O0,000 annually, in
round figures to members who have
just claims upon the treasury of the
order.
Here is an organization which has
gained in brief space membership
equal to the adult male population of
a city of 100000 inhabitants and is
disbursing aboEt $4,000 every business
day to its benefciaries. It's field is as
wide as the Republic and the Domin-
ion, and its growth promises much
greater things in the near future.
All this is a natural phase of the
progress of the age. The movement
of the world is more and more toward
close and complex relations between
great masses of men. There was never
a time when the individual was so lit
tie able to be sufficient unto himself
The hold of society upon the units
which compose it is tighter than eve
before. The need of the strength
which union gives is constant and i'm
perative.
so countless fraternal societies, or
ders and unions flourish. Clubs and
lesser organizations multiply. The
power and popularity of such bodies
are one Of the salient features OF the
age.
The service they render is beyond
measure. IT affects many millions OF
families, and it is one Of the great con
cervative, upbuilding, protective
forces of the times, which has most
hopeful prospects for still wider and
richer dcvelopment-Cleveland Leader

Will SINK FOR ARTISAN
WATER AT GRASS VALLEY

DIR. E. J. Hyatt has arranged with
the Chamber of Commerce to sink for
artesian water at Grass valley, a few
miles south of town. Dr. Hyatt will
donate the use of his keystone we'll

will pay for the pipe and the wages of
the help.
Dr. Hyatt is confident that artesian
water can be struck in that locality,
citing the Johnson well as an example.
He gives it as his opinion that had
that well been sunk further that ar
tesian water would have been struck
at depth of less than 600 feet.

Still Fighting in Kansas.

A. temporary order restraining the
state canvassing board from certifying
to the secretary of state tn enames of
the eight Roosevelt electors nominated
at the recent Kansas Republican pri-
mary has been filed with the clerk of
the Federal district court at Topeka.
The order was granted by Judge
Smith Mcpherson at Red Oak, Iowa.
The injunction was granted on petit
tion of attorneys representing the de-
feated Taft electors.
The action was brought in the
names of D. w. Bemuth and others,
signed the petitions of the Roosevelt
electors. They alleged that they
signed the petitions under a misappre-
hension, believing the electors would
vote for the convention nominee.
Judge Smith Mcpherson states that
the restraining order enjoining the
Kansas state officials from placing the
Roosevelt electors in the Republican
column on the state ballot was return
able September 2. He indicated it
would be heard in Denver by circuit
Judge other than himself.

HARD Times IN
THE Argentine

Gus McAninch, who, in company
with his brother, John McAninch,
formerly conducted the station at
Amos, returned this morning from
South America. The brothers left
Winnemucca for the southern country
last March, and spent most of the
time in the Argentine Republic. To a
Silver State reporter, this morning,
Gus McAninch had the following to
say of his trip:
"There is considerable fault being
found here in this country about the
high cost of living, but / found every
thing higher in the Argentine, with
wages lower. Down there an ordinary
night 3 lodging will cost from $500 to
$500, while the charge for ham and
eggs is about rs cents. Wages run
from 5000 to $500 per day, for un-
skilled labor, to $500 and 800 for
mechanich. These prices are sill
yer, which is worth but 43 cents in
gold. The country is on silver basis,
and the only gold to be had is at the
banks.
"The only language to be heard in
that country is Spanish, with oc-
casionally Portuguese and German.
Money is scarce and times are hard.
A foreigner going in there with the
idea of making living by work
would starve to death.
"My brother, John McAninch, stop
ped off in Missouri, where we will
probably make our home in the future.
/ came out to Nevada to look after our
mining interests in this county, but
shall return within the next few
months.'

An Amazing Buling BY Nevada Daniel

(Salt Lake Herald Republican,
Under the election laws of most
states, aspirants for public Office who
are not nominees of known and recog-
nized political parties are required to
obtain the signatures of a certain
number of electors before their names
may be placed upon the ballot. This
wise provision is made in order that
all who ask for places on the official
ballot shall be able to show that their
candidacy is desired and supported by
sufficient voters to warrant the ex-
pense of placing their names there.
Common sense dictates that no elector
shall sign the petitions OF opposing
candidates for the same Office mas
much as he cannot support both at the
polls, and it also would seem to de-
mand that the names on a petition for
a third party should be only those of
persons who intend to support that
party and that party alone, s-nce only
by exclusive signatures can a third
party demonstrate that it has sufficient
following to warrant place on the
ballot.
When an elector participates in a
primary election, the law supposes that
he is a member of that party and will
support its candidates at the general
election, else he could not participate
in the selection of those candidates;
tn estatute frown upon, as illegal,
the interference of Democrats in a
Republican primary and vice versa.
Yet the attorney general of Nevada
has ruled that electors who have pre-
viously participated in Democratic or
Republican primaries may legally sign
petitions to place bull moose electors
and bull moose candidates for state
offices on the ballot. In effect, his de-
cision is that Republican or Demo
crat who intends to support his own
party ticket and has aided in select
ing it, may lawfully attach his sigma
ture to a third party petition, thus
requesting tn estate to print upon its
official ballot the names of certain
candidates, placed there at the behest
of those who have no intention of vot
| ing for them.
That this is a plain violation of law
of common sense, and of actual hon
esty, does not affect the law officer OF
the sagebrush state, whose leanings tf
political purity as exemplified by hi:

MANY MEM WILLING TO TAKE
A SHOT AT MIRKOVICH

That there are a number of men in
the United States who are willing to
take a human life for a few dollars
pay has been demonstrated since War.
den George Cowing of the Nevada
penitentiary announced that he needed
men to shoot Andrea Mirkovich the
Austrian who has chosen death by
shooting for the murder of John Greg
ovich of Tonopah. He has received
over one hundred communications
from men wanting to shoot Mirkovich
for small sum and each writer talks
of the shooting of this human being
as If he were nothing more than a
jackrabbit or a rattle snake. Some
even go so far as to tell of their abili-
ty in taking human life and to boast
of their accuracy in shooting.
Not only is Warden Cowing receiv.
ing many letters from men wanting
this job of swapping the lifecord of a
man, but Sheriff Ferrel is also receiv-
ing letters. The readers of the papers
do not always read correctly and
therefore some have been imbued with
the mistaken idea that Sheriff Ferrel
is to have charge of the shooting of
Mirkovich. One letter received by
the sheriff reads as follows:
"Erie, Pa, Aug. Is, 1912.
/" Sheriff Ferrel, Reno, New.
"Dear Sir: / seen in a paper that
you wanted some one to come to Reno
and shoot a prisoner. What is there
in it and when does the shooting have
to be donei Hoping to hear from you
by return mail I am,
"Yours respectfully,
~. c. LEWIS,
"1222 State Street, Erie, Pa. y
The sheriff states that he intends to
answer this letter and tell Lewis that
the price will be ninetY-tWo and one.

TAFT'S PROSPECTS
GROWING BRIGHTER

Chairman Hilles, of the Republican
National committee, was in Washing
ton Tuesday to meet the Republican
members of congress from the various
states and get line on the situation
in their respective zones. There was
nothing sensational about the con
ferences. 1t had been reported that
the national chairman was coming to
the capital to make the representa-
tives declare their stand on the presi-
Dental issue. Every move Of the cam
paign manager is given a sensational
turn by the sensation -mongers. In
this case, Hilles came to meet and
lican ticket before the members of
the adjournment of congress.
Five Republicans, who have been
classed with the dyed-in-the- wool
Progressives, joined the regulars who
met the chairman in the headquarters
of the Republican congressional cam
paign committee. They were LaFol-
lette, of Washington, Kendall, Wood
and Haughen, of Iowa, and Rees,
of Kansas.

DuTlnR Lne Qdy I11IleS also naQ q
long conference with President Taft,
and he planned campaign affairs with
Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, and
others, who will take leading part in
the fight in behalf Of the president.
Hilles is feeling more optimistic as
a result of his observations in New
York and Chicago since he took up
the campaign work than are many
Republicans who have viewed the stu
alton merely from the Washington
end. Everybody admits that the ear
lv signs have been favorable to Will
son, but those who feel the pulse of
the voters where voters live have been
pledging their faith to a change of
sentiment before the November cleo
tion. Mr.. Hilles told those who met
him that he was particularly encour-
aged by the things he heard during his
recent visit to Chicago. The Illinois
leaders, he declared, feel certain of
carrying that state.
