Show H NEVADA POLITICS. B Mr. Nixon of Winnemucca, Nev., whom the M , Ropublican State Convention named for United B States Senator, was in this city last week and B expressed the belief that the Roosevelt Electors B would be chosen, but would give no Opinion as to B the rest of the ticket. The Democrats and Silver B ( Party men have again made a fusion this year, B but how far that will go with the rank and file B remains to be seen. There is a large class of men B in Nevada who, by instinct, wou.d be glad to vote B for Theodore Roosevelt. Even the Democratic B Governor of the State has this feeling, though he B is a native Texan and also a candidate for United B States Senator. It is safe to say that he will vote B his ticket straight, but that he would give his B finest Hereford if he could get out of voting B against Roosevelt. There are others like him E who are not under obligations to stick to their B ticket and who will not vote for a colorless can- E- l( didate as against the statesman, soldier and K' ' i rough-rider. Then, what the influence of money B j' i ( will have upon the election there, is a factor which E j cannot be estimated, because no one yet knows B the amount that will be used. Then in two or B three new mining camps that have sprung up since the last Presidential election there are B votes enough to make a balance of power in the B state. But all agree that the campaign there is B going to be a lively one. They are a clear-headed B people, too, and as a rule keep posted so far as the B great daily papers of the day are concerned. If B the state is reasonably sure for Roosevelt, there B should be a fighting chance for the whole Re- B publican ticket. |
