probable candidates are District
Judge j. Emmett Walsh of Goldfeld
and District Judge Mark Averill of
Tonopah. OF course, the present cleo
ton law seeks to make the election
of justices of the Supreme Court a
non-partisan affair. Judge Walsh is,
however, one of the most prominent
Democrats of Southern Nevada. and
Judge Averill is just as prominent a
Republican.

Representative in Congress, in add

will seek the Republican nomination
The new candidate is a mining engi-
neer, and if elected will be the only
one of his profession in the national
legislative halls. He is S. s. AREN'T
of G~oodsprings and Simpson, and he
is vouched for by the Goodsprings

Reports from Tonopah are to the
effect that Senator Pittman is about
to resurrect the old Ely Expositor
as a campaign sheet to boost his
political interests for the 1922 cam
paign. Vail Pittman, the Senator's
brother, and former manager of the
Ponopah Miner, is said to have made
a trip to the copper camp for the
purpose of looking over the field,
with the idea of reviving the old
sheet. The Expositor, when it was
owned by d. S. Dickerson and edited
by the late Jimmy" Haley, was one
of the liveliest sheets in the State.
With the temporary decline of the
copper camp, however, the paper
went on the rocks, and finally sus-
pended publication some three or four
years ago.
1t is significant, however, that the
senior Senator evidently anticipates
some pretty strong opposition, or he
wouldn't be seriously considering
reJuvenating a political sheet in a
district that always has been one of
his strongholds. 1t might also be
taken as indicating that he looks upon
Governor Boyle as his probable an
tagonist, because the Ely district is

eddy would be particularly strong on
account of his successful handling of
the Ely strike.
