nurses a list OF grudges that were
Matched in the campaign OF his de
feat is well known.
Senator Newlands. of course, will
be candidate for the democratic
senatorial nomination to succeed
himself That he will have opposi
tion in the democratic primary now
seems certain. Ever since Dickerson
was beaten for governor by Tasker
l.. Oddie, the republican nominee
from the south, Dickerson has cred
tied his defeat to Newlands, the &C
knowledged democratic chief. That
many of Newlands' friends in the
northern part of the state opposed
Dickerson both in the primary and
in the election afterward is true, and
the fact that Senator Newlands did
not force his close associates to
withdraw their opposition to Dick
erson, a fellow democrat is the real
cause Of the latters hostility to New
lands.
With the exception Of Newlands
Diekerson controls the strongest per
sonal following OF any democrat in
Nevada. However, he will not en-
ter as candidate to oppose New
lands for the senatorial nomination,
: but is training Samuel Bedford of
( Reno, until recently corporation

!. Ely, reputed to be clever politician
I and a good campaigner Belford

}. cradle democratic support.
Dickerson opposed to Newlands in
: the primary would make a cam
?, paign such as has seldom been seen
r. in Nevada, but he would be admitted
~ weak in the election should he be
nominated, as he is not strong with
the republicans, and would be the
:, choice of a divided democracy should
: he defeat Newlands. Apparently this
is not unknown to Dickerson, judg
ing from the way he is playing the
game.
No effort win be made by ex-Gov
in ernor Dickerson to conceal his in
tense anti-Newlands feelings. To hii
friends he has stated in bitter words
: his opinion of the senior senator
% for his treachery, and at a politica
conference held in Reno at demo
re. cratic headquarters last campaign
he coldly turned his back whel
Senator Newlands entered the receE
. ton room and was greeted by othe
ir democrats.
An effort to placate Dickerson wa
"a made by the Newands people fey
40 weeks ago An offer of the demo
cratic nomination for governor wit
the loyal support of Senator New
= lands behind it is reputed to hay
been rejected by him, and likewis
the offer of the United States ma
shalship, to both Of which tender
he is said to have declared with col
siderable heat that he would acceI
nothing at the hands of the dem
cratic senior senator.
The nomination of Senator Ney
lands seems assured but he will haV
fight on his hands after the pl
