thoroughly democratic in a state
ana national sense, that the conelu-
sion will be made that Nevada an
proves OF the Wilson administra-
tion and the men who are uphold
ing It's hands. United States Sena-
tor Newlands is elected. He is
ieadlng this evening by nearly 200
votes and every report from the re-
mote sections of Nevada strength
ems his lead. His vote in Churchill
county, needless TO say, was a dis
tinct disappointment. the populari-
~ OF Miller detracting materially
from his vote The republican state
headquarters eoncede his lead but
hope against hopa that Sam Platt
VIII yet overcome II. II is a safe
prediction, however, when the state
ment is made that Nh Newlands is
again our senator for six years.
The results OF the Fowler and
Roberts contest are not SO certain,
IL seeming likely that victory will
come to Roberts. who is a dyed-in-
the-wool politician and seems gifted
with the ability to ride Out in front
OF his party on every occasion. This
contest, however, is still unsettled.

than ever before in the states his

that practically all the democratic
state officials were elected. COM

George Brodigan for
secretary of state, Malley for treas
