REPUBLICANS WILL
WIN BIG ELECTION
(From the Reno Gazette)


With such heavy vote at a
primary election as that cast by
the people Tuesday, the results in
every office must be admitted to
be the choice of the people. While
in Washoe county half of those en-
titled to vote remained away from
the polls, yet the rest of the state
showed deep interest and Republi-
cans on their side and Democrats
on theirs turned out in such num-
bers that the total vote in all Ne
vada is sixty-five per cent of the
registration. This is unquestionably
a record and shows how deeply the
men and women of Nevada are in
terested in the several contests that
will now be determined on Novem-
Der 7.
Those who have sustained de-
feat at the primary suffer their in
dividual disappointments, of course,
but it is no reflection upon their
personal standing that the voters
chose others to be voted upon at
the general election. 1t merely
shows that looking at the whole
field, by and large, a majority of
the members of their own party felt
that the nominations should go to
others. Then, too. there is a great
deal in a well-maintained campaign
and men who began their canvas
for support months ago naturally
had seen and talked with the
greater number of voters. Nevada
is great state, not only in re-
sources and potentialities, but also
in distance and it takes time and
money to go to all parts of it, as
the candidates have found out. The
risk Of defeat after a strenuous
personal campaign, however, and
after covering enormous mileage,
is something that every candidate
assumes.
The tickets selected at the pri-
mary are certainly representative
in the case of both parties. The Re-
publicans especially are to be con-
graduated on the splendid personnel
of their candidates. They are eiti-
zens Of such character that they
will receive the loyal and unswerv-
ing support Of the members Of the
party and undoubtedly will be given
votes by many Democrats, who,
tired of the dissension and failure
to maintain promised reforms in
their own party, will take this oc-
cassion to utter their protest at
the polls.
It is a strong ticket that the
Republicans have placed before the
people of Nevada, the strongest in
years. And its success is certain.
Men of experience in public life
have been selected, men known to
be qualified in the highest degree
for the offices for which they have
been named, men for the most part
with whom almost all the voters
are personally acquainted or whose
friends are so acquainted.
The Republicans should and will
make a clean sweep Of the state
offices, elect a Republican to sue
coed United States Senator Key
Pittman and return a Republican to
the lower house of Congress. At
Carson, can anyone who looks over
the returns and calculates the total
vote, doubt that every office in the
Capitol will be filled by Re-
publican from that Of governor
down? The legislature, too, will be
dominantly Republican beyond ques-
tion. John H. Miller, as governor,
will have the support of state SEN
ate and assembly of his own party.
1t Is significant that the Repub-
licans Of Nevada Tuesday cast over
a thousand more votes at the polls
for the primary than all the Demo-
