THE NEWS POLITICIAN SUGGESTS
SHERIFF N|CHOLSON'S DEPUTIES

The changes to be made In the ex-
ecutive department OF the county goy-
ernment by reason of the results OF the
last election have given rise to specu-
lation OF most general nature.
The News has had Its representation
in the field and It's ear to the ground
but Information from an authoritive
source has been unobtainable. How
ever. from careful observation ideas
worthy of notice can always be go tn
cred.
When Sheriff Nicholson takes his Of
flee early In January practically all
changes in appointive officers will be
subject to his recommendation. In these
the first to be considered Is the chief
deputy. and in this East Ely, a dis
trict heretofore considered only as q
suburb, comes in for first consideration
Under existing circumstances.
The political 'dopcstcr" OF the News
first casts his ey. toward Ed Smi,l, ana
reas sons that Mr.. Smiths service to his
party. coupled with his record as one
of the best citizens entities him to first
consideration. ana when taken as a
whole 1t would seem to appear that
when the new chief deputy's name Is
ofiicially announced 1t will be Ed Smith
CT East Ely
Next under consideration is that Of
the man to represent the sheriff In Ely
when the chief executive oficer OF the
county is not available. and after cast
ng his eye over Il 9 entire field the
'dopcster" says that me n will bs Dave
Mclean.
Sheriff Nicholson would not be the
man to overlook the American Legion
and the one position that can best be
filled by an ex-serviee man is that of
driver for the sheriff's car. Tho local
post was called into consultation and
placed their Endorsement on George
C. Robson. one of the post members
who has been through active service
in France and who is also an expert
driver and mechanic. When the Hud-
son Is taken out after the first of the
year look for George C. Robison.

The clerical end OF the sheriff's of
flee Is next entitled to consideration.
For some time past 1t has been almost
n matter of common knowledge that
many OF the residents of the county.
and particularly women who have
taken an active interest in civic Affairs.
have requested the incoming shcrin
to nf.me Mrs. Emma Reilley. Mrs.
Reipey is the widow of James Reiliey,
one os the best known citizens of this
county. ana the daughter of the late
Peter canron Of Cherry Creek. one of
the most highly respected OF the old
rioncers. She Is highly capable and
seeming so safe frora every angle the
guide sa.'s Emma f.eilley as Office ac-
countant
1T Ruth u is generally understood
that Norris lioberts will be appointed
to NIL the position which he vacated
come time ago To look after other in
terests.
McGill is one point that must be
given consideration. and in this IL Is
found that the main question Is. shal.
there be orc or two men to look after
this important center. In years past
an arrangement was made by which
two men were kept on the job and the
county paid one while the Nevada Con-
solidated paid the other. In any event
there must be one and the guide says
that n,an will be George Newman.
Should a second man be appointed
he says that man will be Stanley Reed.
This leaves only the janitor oc the
courthouse to be considered. and while
the list OF applicants would reach from
here to New York the incumbent has
given such satisfaction that Il is the
benerai assumption that MI. soaring
will be kept oo the Job
