Thursday of last week was her 75th birthday and her friends from far and near took occasion to send tokens of remembrance in a manner not even dreamed of when she was a girl.

She desires to express thru the columns of the Booster, her sincere thanks for the many kind re- membrances.

The Jefferson City correspondent of the Republic considers it a possi- bility that Gov. Hadley may enter the race for Senator Warner's seat. The argument is that if Dickey is not strong enough, through Republican state chairman, to defeat Warner, the state administration crowd will ask the Governor to make the race. The point is taken that ‘‘there are two fac- tions of the Republican party in this state. One known as the state ad- ministration crowd, is headed by Gov. Hadley and the State committee. The other, known as the federal of- fice holders, is headed by Senator Warner. The latter has all the post- masters and federal office-holders in bulk on his staff. The Governor has his own appointees and the state or- ganization at his back. There is no love between the two. As the saying goes in politics, Senator Warner has repeatedly ‘thrown the hooks’ into the What the Governor’s-decision in the matter of becoming a candidate is yet an open question. At the beginning of the new year the contest is expect- }ed to develop interesting political moves on the political chessboard.— Nevada Mail. Mrs. Lucy Webb.
