REPUBL|CANSARE
REGISTERS
IOMTICS AGAIN IN THE LIME
LIGHT AND NO DEARTH OF
CANDIDATES FOR CONVENTION
DELEGATES To DATE.

The political pot is beginning to
boil, and Justice Edwards is q busy
man these days registering those who
desire to express their choice at the
polls. Up to date about four DEM
ocrats have registered to one repub-
lican. Numerous reasons are assign
ed for this condition of AFFAIRS but
that most generally accepted is that
the activity on the part of the demo-
cratic voters is increased by the fact
that there are four candidates who
will try conclusions at the convention
for the nomination for sheriff. The
friends of these candidates naturally
desire to elect delegates favorably
inclined to their man. and the repub-
lican voters, no doubt, are taking
their time and will register in large
numbers in time to cast their vote
where it will be needed.
Up to yesterday 209 voters had
entered their names upon the official
register. But very few women voters
have registered, but sthis condition
will doubtless change before the clos
ing of the books. 1t is the first time
that the women of Nevada have been
given an opportunity to vote at q
general election, and now that they
have been granted the right, it is safe
to say Nevada women will not neglect
the obligation imposed upon them.
1t is a matter worthy of careful con-
sideyation and especially by those
who worked so earnestly for the sue
cess of suffrage The most forcib1e
argument used by those women op-
posed to the measure was that II Civ
en- the right to vote, 1t would not be
exercised by the fair sex as whole.
This theory will no doubt receive .
severe blow when the vote cast by the
ladies is finally counted. a

litical persuasion as announced Is an
