CANDIDATES SHOW
WAY WIND BLOWS

(By Spellier in the Reno Gszette)
The way the entries and probable
| entries in the Republican Senatorial
Derby are preparing themselves, to-
| gether with the size of the field, indi-
Gates that there is considerable con-
fdence among Republicans this year
| that the Democrats will come out sec
ond best in the November election
The Republican candidates, or prob
able candidates, may be divided into
several classes, graded according to
the progress that has been made in
advancing their respective political
interests. In the first class would
come those who have made definite
announcement of their intentions of
seeking the Republican nomination.
Here we have:
Miss Anne Martin.
A. Grant Miller.
Sardis Summerfield.
Several months ago all of these in
dicated their intentions, but since that
time each one has been strongly and
unusually silent for self-avowed poll
ticians. AS a matter Of fact only one
of the quartet, Summerfield, is in the
state.
Anne Martin is, and has been for
many months, at the national capitol,
The report has been current of late,
emanating from some of her closest
friends, that she has abandoned her
Intention of again seeking senatorial
honors. Nothing that would indicate
this, however, has ever come from
Miss Martin. On the other hand she
has taken several occasion several
times of late to criticise Senator Hen
ierson for some of the things he has
OF has not. done.
Grant Miller has been in the East
COR two or three months. Just what
he is doing there or when he expects
10 return has never been limited
There are those who believe Miller is
aiding in the organization work for
he new Labor party and that he has
withdrawn from the Republican sena-
torial list.
C. f. Wharton is the Non-Partisan
league entry in the Republican party
Nothing has been heard of him since
The Non-Partisan Leaguers of Fallon
wished him onto the Republican party
s not likely Republicans will make
my very eager attempts to locate
him.
Unusual as ii may SEEM, il is a fact
nevertheless, that two who have not
made positive declarations of candi-
lacy are displaying the most activity
n campaign work. They are Mark
Walser of Reno and w. c. Pitt of
.ovelock. Each has made a semi-of-
icial announcement-sort of I'm the
lands of my friends" declarations.
But both are conducting definite cam
,aign along definite lines in various
ections of the state.
Walser. in particular, expresses
himself as being absolutely confident
If the result, declaring he will win, no
natter who or how many opponents
re may have in the primary election.
yalser has had a mar in the field for
some time, advancing his interests in
practically every county.
In Pershing county. where w. c..
Pitt resides, his senatorial campaign
al passed the early stages. The
ormation of a Pitt for Senator"
hub at Lovelock has already been eff
'ected, according to reports.
Remaining are those mentioned as
probable candidates. They include
Rev. Brewster Adams. A. f. Cheney,
and s. S. Downer. all of Reno. Neither
ever has publicly expressed himself
on the senatorial question. Those
who profess to be well informed in
sist that one of the three will be a
