Porto Rico is part of the United States,

ton has violated the Constitution, aban-
doned the fundamental principles of
American liberty, and has striven to give
the lie to the contention of our fore
fathers that all men are created equal, |
that government rests for its sanction |
upon the consent of the governed, and
that representation and taxation are in
sporadic.
Lotteries and Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend
ment removing the prohibition as to lot
teres. We also favor the repeal of the
statute licensing prize fighting III Ne
vada and pledge our legislative nominees
to vote in accordance with the letter and
spirit Of both of the sections of this reso-
luton.
Labor-VTe believe in the regulation Of
the hours OF labor by the State,and that a
shortening Of such hours will tend to the
material advancement, prosperity, and
happiness of those who labor. We there
fore pledge our candidates for the Legis-
lature to the passage of an eight-hour
law, applicable to all labor in mines,
mills, smelters and other works for re-
ducing or refining ores, and to extend
such law to other classes of labor to
which it is applicable, after hearing and
consulting with the representatives Of
such classes. and to provide by law for

shall collect all statistics relating to labor
in this State, and who shall make re-
commentator to the Legislature from
time to time as to appropriate legislation.
Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be recOg-
nized by the general government as
part of its internal improvement system,
and that liberal appropriations should be
made for that purpose, and we call at
tention to the specific declartion in this
behalf in the national platform, favoring
an intelligent system of improving the
arid lands of the West, storing the waters
for the purposes of irrigation, and the
holding of such lands tor actual settlers.
We believe that the development of the
Republic within the arid regions, by a
proper system of internal Improvement,
will build up an empire based on equal
citizenship, far SURPRISING the power and
glory of any empire based on the acqui-

University and Schools-We recognize
the high efficiency and usefulness of our
university, and favor legislation which
will advance its aims and purposes. We
also recognize the necessity of maintain
ing the excellence Of our public schools,
and we are opposed to any legislation
which will deminish or improperly d.
vert the income Of our schools
Interstate Commerce--We demand such
legislation as will protect individuals and
communities from unjust discrimination
and the public from unjust and unfair
transportation rates.
Corrupt Practices - We demand the
passage of a law reasonably limiting the
expenditures of candidates in elections
and preventing corrupt practices in such
elections.
Senator Stewards Defection-We con.
graduate the bi-metalists of Nevada up
on being rid Of an impostor, who has
practiced upon their credulity for the last
twelve years. We allude TO Senator Will

off the silver plated mask which he sc
clumsily were during three senatorial
campaigns, and now appears in his true
character of Republican camp follower
