patch was received by the Tribune

drawn-out contest over the most i'm
portant federal office in Nevada. Or
iginally C. H. Mcintosh of Tonopah
and John F. KunZ of Goldfield were
the only candidates for the office.
The Nevada Press association, at its
annual meeting in Reno, adopted
resolutions that put Mcintosh out of
the running, and by the same token
also eliminated Mr.. Kunz. The Ia
ter was recently offered another fed
eral job OF much less importance
which, it As understood. he will de-
cline to consider. The Nevada Ell
itors did not criticize Mr.. Kuntz, but
the elimination of the only other con-
testant for the office caused the SEN
ators to seek an outside man, with
the result noted above.
