publican nomination for the Office Of
lieutenant governor Mr.. Humphrey
said he had arrived at that conclus-
ion as result of mature deliberation
and that his conclusion is final. He
had not fled his nomination papers.
Jake Eggers q Candidate.
In today's issue we print the an
nouncement of Jacob Eggers as a Re-
publican candidate for the nomina
tion for State Controller, position
which he has held since 1906 and
which has been for the betterment
and protection of the state.
There are few men who are better
known within the confines of the
state than "Honest jake who has
spent every hour Of his incumbency
in Office in working for the upbuild-
ing of the commonwealth, says the
Carson News. "Jake' was born in
Germany and in early infancy was
brought to the United States and
made his home in Illinois. He came
to Nevada in 1876 and here east his
first vote. He joined with the Repub-
lican party and has since been con
stant to his first love. He became
miner and tofJer under ground for
nearly sixteen years when his ability
was recognized and he was elected as
assessor of Elko county, a position he
held for sixteen years only leaving tc
accept the position of state con
troller. Tn 1906 he accepted the po-
sition he now holds and since that
time has been one who has been
friend to the pople and the protector
of their rights.
He will probably be without oppo-
sition at the primaries and it is gen
orally believed the people of the
state will rally to his standard ir
such numbers he will be returned foi
another term to be watchdog of the
treasury.
