IN exhaustive review of the entire

legislature shall Sc fit to again
amend the law
The court finds that the amend

of time of residence necessary to give
the court jurisdiction in divorce cases
from six months to one year is con-
stitutional The decision was writ

Of the second judicial district court tc
issue an order for the publication of

Worthington against Cecilia Worth

: was brought nj that court on Febru

Nevada on the 20th day of July, 1913
and at the time of the filing of his
complaint for divorce had been a resi-

E months, not sufficient time to give
the court jurisdiction according tt
, the amendment of 1913, changing tn,

Getting Ready For
Game Of Politics

County politics are beginning to
show signs of action and while not
many out and out announcements hav
been made. there is considerable talk
going on and some names of proba-
bic candidates are being mentioned.
So far, the legislative ticket has gon
begging. However, the Record has
been advised that c. L. Alquist of
Caliente, will probably announce his
candidacy for the assembly on the
Republican ticket within a few days.
Mr.. Alquist is a successful business
man of the railroad town. he is deep
ly interested in the matter of building
good roads,not because he happens
to be the possessor of an auto,
but because it is the right thing to do
looking at 1t from business stand
point. Other counties in the state
have built good roads and the result
has been increased business and in
creased population. Mr.. Alquist has
seen instances of where travel has
been diverted to some other direc-
tion simply because the roads of the
county are a disgrace to any com
munity.

All Of the present county officials
will be in the race this fila. Chas.
Culyerwell for county treasurer and
clerk; Dan j. Ronnowg for sheriff
and assessor and Charley Garrison
for recorder and auditor. The dis
trict attorneyship all depends on the
outcome of the judicial district tangle.
Should it happen that the eighth dis
trlct remains as it is, District Attor-
ney Orr will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself If not, he will probably
become an active candidate for the
nomination for district Judge on the
Democratic ticket. In that event the
query arises: "Who will be district
Attorney" There are only four names
to draw from. Fl. S. Laney of Cali
ente and Judge ]. M. Breeze of
Phoebe, both Republicans. The others
are young followers of Blackstone.
Both are seeking admission to the
par and hope to get through with the
examination before election time. One
is A. l.. Scott of Phoebe, the other
- hOo' " ouoNOilu Ol Tdudcd. ME-.
Scott has registered himself as
Democrat and in event of his coming
out as candidate, as natural con-
sequence, he would come to the fore
as a Democrat. Two years ago he
was classed as Progressive who fol-
lowed Teddy out of the Republican
} party, yet he could probably qualify
by reason of having voted the DEM
J cc atic county ticket in toto. Ern-
est Wadsworth has been in Salt
