This means solid representation
for the Republican party in the leg
islative halls of the state. Senator
Chaplin, the hold-oyer seantor, being
of the same political faith as the
three members elected to the lower
house by the vote cast on Tuesday.
The selection of justice for the
lower court did not seem toeattract
great attention. B. b. Belcher, one
of the newly-made members of the
bar of the state. made a most earnest
canvas, while his opponent, Judge
Collins. submitted his candidacy to-
the people standing upon his record
and apparently without effort to ar
que his cause. The result was an
overwhelming endorsement of the ad-
ministration during the past two
years, and 1t is hard to believe that
Judge Collins ever intended to in
| fiict such humiliation on An adver-
sary. notwithstanding the record OF
his court for stern decisions and hard
sentences for offenders appearing be-
fore him. He could have at least
been reasonable in this case. The re-
suit of the vote is as follows:
Belcher S34|
The battle for sheriff was perhaps
the most interesting and warmly con-
tested race on the county ticket. with
the result that the Democratic can
didate. w. s Enslow carried the day
as the figures show
Enslow 1436
Newman ....... ......... 1924
II. w. Edwards, the democratic
candidate for district attorney, sur
prised even his most ardent admir-
ers by winning over his Republican
opponent, the present incumbent, by
wide margin. Latest figures are.
Edwards ........... 1888
Whiteley .......... 1013
The offices of county treasurer, re-
; corder and auditor and county as
SCISSOR We're not contested.
The closest battle on the ticket
was that for short term county COM
missioner. but there is now no doubt
that the Democratic candidate, w. Z.
Meyers. has been returned victorious
on these figures:
Gallagher ....,..,. 1908
For the long term commissioner
r. L. Tucker, the democratic candi-
date. won over his republican OPP
ponent as follows:
Tucker ....,.. l4ze
t'ulmer ............. 1880
This places the entire Board of
County Commissioners in the hands
of the democratic party. for the first
time in many years If not in the his
tory of the county.
The second close race on the tick
ct was that'f for road supervisor. and
again the democratic landslide car
ried with it w ~ Curto, the vote
being: t

One OF the most astounding feat
ures of the eleetion of state candi-
dates throughout this county was
that of United States Senator. In
which Hon. Chas. b. Henderson car
ried the day by sweep heretofore
Iunknown. He left the borders Of
White Pine with more than 1000
votes to spare, and his friends here
point with pride to the fact that they
rolled up for their man majority
even greater than his home county OF
Elko.
Oh, How Dry Wee'l De.
Nevada has joined the DRY" col
umn and the prohibition movement
has carried the state BY approximate
Iy q majority OF 1000. Az an evi-
dence OF good faith White Pine coun-
ty contributed as follows 80. X.
