There is more interest in the con- test for State and county offices in Nevada this year than in the national election. Fred B. Balzar, Nevada's first Re- publican Governor since Taskar L.

He is opposed by Benja- min F. Curler, a former judge and on of the State’s best known attorn Both are making a hard campaign, and the outcome is likely to be close. The reform element is openly in favor of the candidacy of Curler, but the cam- paign is one of the keenest ever con- ducted here. It is difficult to obtain expressions, because the judiciary 1s non-partisan and few are willing to let it be known how they stand. ‘There are contests for every State office, with indicatioins that the in- cumbent Democratic secretary of state will be re-elected and that a Democrat will also be named attorney general. ‘There is a keen contest on for this latter office, for the attorney general is & member of a number of State boards or commissions that have much patronage to dole out, and for this reason both parties are concentrating on the attorney general fight. A reduction in valuations of railroads in the State has brought out an attack on the Republican administration by | the Democrats, but it was so slight that it is the belief it will have little effect on the result To date there has been little betting, one of the favorite pastimes of Neva- dans, but the sentiment seems clearly that the incumbent Governor will be returned to office and that the State's lone Representative will continue to be Arentz.

Floyd S. Harry of Farmersville is campaigning for Congress against Sam Rayburn of Bonham, incumbent. In far West Texas there is a party fight on for the place from which Rep- resentative Claude B. Hudspeth is volun- tarily retiring. Mitchell Waldrop of Del Rio is the Republican nominee and R. Ewing Thomason, former Speaker of the Texas Legislature, recent mayor of El Paso, is the Democratic nominee. ‘Thomas A. Clarke, Republican nomi- nee, is opposing the re-election of Rep- resentative Hatton W. Sumner. George Seydler, sr., Republican, is in the ranks against J. J. Mansfield’s re-election. W. C. Witcher is the G. O. P. nominee against Guinn Willlams, Decatur Repre- sentative. S. E. Fish is contesting for the seat held by Marvin Jones, repre- senting the Texas Panhandle section. Soclalist Candidate Named. C. A. Burress has been nominated by the Soclalist party against Sumners and Clarke. The Republican party has had one member in the Texas Legislature of late years. This individual is Repre- sentative Reno Eickenroht of Seguin. ‘This vear Mr. Eickenroht is the Repub- lican nominee for State Senator against W. K. Hopkins, Gonzales, and repre- sentative persons from the district have said his defeat is assured. Other coun- ties of the senatorial district will return large Democratic majorities, easily off- setting a probable Republican majority in his race from Guadalupe, his home county. Guadalupe County this year by an agreement sent former Secretary of State F. C. Weinert, Democrat, to the Legislature unopposed. So that, with preponderant indica- tions well defined, the Democratic party will return its usual victory by about its usual majority in all State races, and has raised a greater threat than usual to wive out the usual one congressional Republican victory in the San Antonio district. Dr. George C. Butte, who gave the Republicans 300,000 votes as the nomi- nee in 1924 against Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson for Governor, was again nom- inated at the primary election this Summer by his party for Governor, when Mrs. Ferguson was in the second primary run-off for Democratic nomi- nation for the same post. But Mrs. Ferguson was beaten in the August primar;, after which Dr. Butte promptly declined his nomination and retained his Federal appointment in Washington.
