NEVADA POLITICS uVENING UP
Exchange of Compliments At
Reno BY Senator and Ex-Gov-
ernor Peppery in Extreme

Reno Gazette, January 10: Den
yer S. Dickerson, regardless of the
wishes of Senator Francis G. New
lands. is out for the Democratic nom
ination for Governor, reports from
innermost circles say to-day.
The feeling that the Newlands' ad-
herents had put one over" had out
generated Newlands' chief political
opponent and had not kept faith with
him, are cited as some of the reasons
which have strengthened Dickerson
in this attitude. His friends say that
his motives in comforting with New
lands at this time have been miscon-
strued and purposely misrepresented.
Efforts to dissuade Dickerson from
coming out for Governor are report
ed and some of the Newlands men
try to create the impression that
there has been q change in DECKER
sons attitude in the last "a or SO
hours. Eugene Grutt, Dickerson's
chief adviser. has gone to San Fran
cisco: Dickerson went to Carson yes
terday and Newlands has started for
Washington, whence be was called
by the telegram asking him to meet
Dickerson. He came to Reno by the
way of Santa Barbara, and arrived
here Wednesday.
1t develops that Newlands care
fully kept away from the vicinity of
the Golden hotel, where Dickerson
was quartered, while Dickerson
Stunned South Virginia street, where
Newlands was staying at the River
side. They met Wednesday night on
neutral ground in James ID. Finch's
Office. Finch is afriend to both men,
more particularly to Newlands. 1t
was at this meeting that Newlands
and Dickerson shook hands for the
first time in three years. Not pre-
tending to quote their words exactly,
the following is given as from the
inside as the gist of part of the con-
yersation, and has come to the knowl-
edge of at least a dozen persons ac-
tive in Democratic State politics:
Dickerson beginning the onver
s~ation): Now, first of all, let's un-
derstand each other. | don't like
you. ! have no use for you and |
want it plainly understood that
| have entered into this confer
ence for the good of the party. and
to convince Democrats of the State
that ] have been opposing you from
principle. and not from any personal
or selfish motive"
Newlands: i have strongly ad-
mired you, Governor, for some of the
things you did while in office. But
you are selfish, egotistical, spiteful
and vengeful. You have not won
your spurs in the Democratic party.
You have done nothing for the party
to justify any recognition from me-"
Dickerson: when it comes TO
that, | consider that | have done
more than you. While have been
working for the party here, you have
been residing at Washington. coming
to Nevada only in election years.
You pretend to be an important man
at Washington, when you are not.
You pretend to be on the inside with
the important men of the Senate
when you are not. You have no
standing other than that you have
purchased in the newspapers and dis
tributed broadcast throughout the
State"
1t is reported that after a confer
ence of an hour and a quarter, Dick
erson and Newlands left more OPP
posed to each other than ever.
In coming out fiat footed for Gov
ernor, Dickerson intends, reports say
to-day, to get a full ticket into the
primaries with him. His stand is
said TO be that Newlands is a danger
Gus man to the people and that it is
more important to have the right
man in the Senate than for the De-
mocracy TO win in Nevada.
Placed in an entirely false position,
his friends say, by the statements
he attributes to Newlands' bench
men and political enemies, Dickerson
is said to have hurled the def and To
