A Republican Embroglio

Among the candidates who filed
their application for Office on Aug
ust 81 was p K. Huering of Nina,
who filed as Republican candidate
for member OF the Assembly. MIR
Huering is employed by the S. z.
Railroad company as agent at Mi
na. Like a thunder bolt out of
clear sky came the pronuncianento
from Secretary McAdoo, the chief
muce muck OF all the railroads
III tie United States, that no offic-
ial OF employe of tie railroads un.
der control of the Federal Govern
ment should engage in activs po-
litios OF course, this affected Mr..
Hucring, and the local committee
was obliged to substitute the
name of some other good Republi-
can as their legislative candidate.
Ard now comes an opinion from
the Attorney General of the State,
supported by supreme court decis-
ions to the effect that Mr.. McAdoo
cannot violate State rights, and ad
vising the local committee that
they cannot legally take Mr.. Huer-
ing 5 name off their ticket. Hence
there is a tempest in the Republican
teapot McAdoo says in effect
that Huering cannot be candidate
unless he quits his present job, and
the Attorney General Of Nevada
SAYS he cannot be taken off the
ticket.
Now then, boys. whatinhell you
going to do?
Why, vote for 6. B Stannard,
of course, and settle all disputes.
