POLITICAL POT
NOW S|MMER|NG
PRIMARY ELECTION CAMPAIGN
PROMISES TO BE WARM
AFFAIR

Inc time lot the Hlllns OF nOm1na-
ton papers for offices by the
various aspirants of ali parties hav-
ing expired at midnight Saturday, the
political pot of Nevada has begun to
simmer, and from now until the pri-
mary election Tuesday, September 1,
the office-seekers will be busy with
their campaigns. The democratic
ticket will be full and running over,
there being several candidates for
many of the nominations. With the
exception of clerk of the supreme
court and state printer, the republic
cans will have a complete ticket,
with contests in one or two instances.
Considerable excitement was &C.
casioned at Carson City at the elev-
enth hour Saturday night when
George Springmeyer. who some time
ago filed for the progressive nomina-
ton for attorney general, declared
himself for the same office on the
republican ticket, without withdraw
ing his original declaration. The
question has naturally arisen wheth-
err or not Springmeyer can run for
the nomination on both tickets. 1t
is not unlikely that the supreme
court may be called upon to give a
decision on the point.
Harry B. Lind of Goldfield, a pro-
gressive, who was originally men,
toned in connection with his party's
nomination for governor and later
for that of United States senator,
finally filed. at the eleventh hour,
for the bull moose nomination for
long term regent of the state univer-
sity. A complete list of the nomina-
