The Boera-We extend to the brave
Beers Of South Africa, our sympathy and |
moral support in their patriotic struggle |
for the right If self-governmenf, and We |
ara 'tnsltsrably opposed TO any alliance,
Opel: ar covert, between the United States |
and any other nation, which will tend to
the destruction or abridgenent of human
liberty. s..f.- p
Porto Rico-The Declaration Of INDIE |
pendenc0 the Constitution and the Flag
are one and inseparable. The island of
Porto Rico is part of the United States,
and placing upon it the burden OF certain
duties, as well AS by denying its people
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
seperable.
Lotteries and Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend
ment removing the prohibition as to lot
! teries. We also favor the repeal Of the
statute licensing prizs fighting in Ne
vada and pledge our legislative nominees
to vote in accordance with the letter and
spirit rc 18th ~ .hs sections Of this res.,-
/ luton
Labor We believe in the regulation Of
the hours Of labor Ivy the Stateand that
! shortening OF suc,, hours will tend 20 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 eighth
| 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
l. i.l, 10 i
consulting with the representatives of
such classes, and to provide by law for
adding to the duties of one Of the State
officers, without additional salary, the
duty of a Commissioner of Labor, who
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 a
part of it's 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, fayoring
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-
sition of distant countries and the sub
lection of inferior races.
University and Schools-We recognize
the high efficiency and usefulness of our
university, and favor legislation which
Will advance>its aims and purposes. We

vert the income Of our schools

legislation as will protect individuals and
communities from unjust discrimination
and the public from uni ust and unfair
transportation rates.

and preventing corrupt practices in such
elections.
Senator Stewards Dafection-We con.
graduate the bi-netalists Of Nevada up
on being rid OF an impOstor, who ha,
, practiced upon their credulity for the las
twelve years. We allude to Senator Viii
liam NJ. Stewart, who has at last thrown
off the silver plated mask which he 81
clnmsily were during three senatorial
campaigns, and row appears in his tru,
character of Republican camp follower
f and subserylent tool of the present golo
f standard, imperiallstic and trust foster
, ing Administration.
;, We wish our opponents the same un
! alloyal JOY upon ..,eir acquisition that i

their radiance of traitor, and his con
