ing the registration TO late IN Isl
out of 242 precincts of Nevada, in
dictate the truth of reports If . coali-
tion between socialists and demo-
Gratis to aid certain democrats in the
primary campaign, say the Reno
Gazette. The counties where the
effect of such a combination would
be most felt show big democratic
gains in the registration.
The effect of local contests is also
apparent in boosting the democratic
registration over the republican. Tho
registration as a whole indicates
great general interest in the coming
elections, being unusually large for
this period of the campaign. The
total of the precincts indicated and
not including 313 votes registered in
Reno during the last week is 12,413.

erage electoral vote was 20,031.

now registered. 4,771 have register
ed al republicans, 1856 as demo-
Gratis, 316 as progressives. Isl as
not allied with any party and 592 as
socialists. At the last election the
socialist vote was 1913.
The list of those not allied with
any party includes a prohibitionist
registered at Elko and a populist
registered in Esmeralda county.
Republicans are in the lead in
Clark, Douglas, Eureka, Lyon and
White Pine counties.
Democrats have their principal
majorities in Nye, Mineral, Hum
boldt. Esmeralda and Churchill
counties. In Esmeralda county, it
is pointed out, the Republicans have
no contest which would have the eff
feet of bringing out a vote. while
the democrats have contests for dis
trict judge. assembly, clerk and
treasurer, sheriff and county COM
missioner. In Humboldt county the
conditions are similar, the republic
cans having no contest and the dem
ocrats having many.
