and the program in addition to en-
dorsing a platform and choosing dele
gates to the national convention, in
Guided a contest for a seat in the
convention between two factions
from Washoe county. This was be-
tween the Updyke and Boyd forces,
in which local interest was stimula-
ted by the efforts of Ex-Governor
Dickerson af Ely, in behalf of Up
dyke. The ex-governor went to the
convention with his war paint on
and although the platform adopted
was not entirely of his complexion
he successfully manipulated the
meeting In favor of the seating of
Updyke by an overwhelming vote,
proving pretty conclusively that
Dickerson is yet very much in evil
dence in the political game, and a
factor to be recokned with.
The following delegates were
elected to the national convention:
P. S. Carney, Key Pittman, Bob
Douglass, Samuel w. Bedford, Phil
Triplett, Colonel Proskey; alternates
l.. H. Kuntz, Senator w. j. Bell.
Hugh Babcock, c. H. Mcintosh, John
McGrath, Charles Stout.
Senator w. J. Bell of Winnemucca
was named as a member of the ma
tional committee, and George
Thatcher. E. A. p. johnson and Lem
Allen chosen as presidential electors.
The convention came out strong
for Champ Clark for president, and
the Nevada delegates will go to the
national convention pledged to sup
port the man from Missouri, and
prevent the other delegates from
kickin' his dawg aroun'. There was
no lack of material with which to
construct a platform, and the strue-
ture with its load of planks was
adopted with unanimous enthusiasm.
But one resolution was presented to
the convention, and that was a reso-
luton deploring the illness of Sen
ator Nixon.

way. He has fathered and fostered
new enterprises of various kinds,
ranehing. stock raising, sugar beet
growing, farming, municipal i'm
provements and has invested mis-
