Plans Arranged for
Coming Campaign

Slipping quietly into Reno Wednes-
day night from Tonopah, Key Pitt
man unostentatiously began his
work yesterday to secure control of
the Democratic state convention
which will have to decide whether
he or P. A. McCarran will be The
party candidate for United States
senator, says the Gazette. The fast
that Pittman was in town was not
heralded broadcast throughout the
city, as has been the custom on pre-
vious visits, and except for an acct
dental meeting, the average citizen
would not have known the senator
was in Reno.
Yesterday being Carson City day
at the race track, Senator Pittman
was afforded an opportunity of meet
ing and comforting with the leaders
OF his party without the report being
circulated that a gathering of the
clans" had been ordered. But the
gathering took place just the same
and those on the inside say matters
| of great import were turned over and
over, with the result that tentative
| plans were made for the conduct OF
the Pittman campaign.

OF course, the exquisite fragrance of
certain towering shrubs is an additional
