treason. We demand a fearless enforce

will severely punish all teachers and
practicers of all anarchistic doctrines, as
we'll as encouragers of lynchings and all

should not descend to fulsome adulation
of a partisan adherant or to venemous
abuse of a political opponent.

and with malice toward none'' we earn
estly invite all good citizens OF Nevada,
