que BASEBALL for the season of 1905
made its debut today with the assemb-
ling of the league magnates in this
city for their annual meeting. The

past season, but the present meeting
will deal chiefly with affairs relating
to the coming season. The schedule
will come up for discussion in pre-.
liminary way and decision may be
reached regarding the advisabiIity of
shortening the playing season. An
other matter TO receive attention is
that relating TO post-season games
and an effort will be made to put them
on some recognized basis in harmony
with similar action to be taken by

the opposing leagues will be placed

CAPITAL AND LABOR
;, We submit the labor record of the
Republican party against the professions
oI Deihocracy; Repnblicanism has built
up tarlh wall about this country which
gives the American markets to the pro-
ducts OF American labor. 1t has in
every State where in power enacted
legislation favoring shorter hours and
sanitary conditions of labor prohibited
enid labor, and passed stringent laws
Tor the safeguarding of the life and limb
OF employees. Ii has under Theodore
Roosevelt submitted arbitration, as in
the coal strike, for the bullet and bayo-
net oi the last Democratic administra-
tlon III its settlement of the Pullman
strike. Promising little, performing
much, 1t has been the true and tried
friend of both capital and labor, whom
IL holds as equal and eoncordant parts
oi the nations industrial economy. The
hepnbiican party will not support capi-
tai In oppression nor labor in violence.
IL recognizes organized labor as the unity
OF industrial action, striving to secure
u more equitable distribution of the
fruits OF industry. Ii is the trusted ally
OF both capital and labor; for capital in
the things which are essential to the
successful government of enterprises.
and with labor in its crusade for reason
able hours ut the highest wages consis-
tent with the successful conduct of
business. In this State ii faVors eight
hours labor upon all public works and
as the legal work day in mines, quartz
mills and smelters, and will uphold
legislation giving it proper and equitable
force and effect.
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
We favor the economic conduct of the
State government, the generous treat
ment of the orphan wards of the State
and the humane care of the insane. We
are justly proud of the public school
system of Nevada and the State Univer-
sity and will favor all reasonable prop
ositions calculated to improve their
efficiency and usefulness.
INVITATION TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Recognizing the fact that many of the
most patriotic and progressive citizens of
the State OF Nevada have for several

That the formation ofa Fusion PARTY

ion of public offices, that the right OF
the taxpayers and builders of the Com.
monwealth might be subserved and
home industry protected.
That the pledges of the people to the
taxpayers, and the toilers have been
kept to.the letter, and the more economi-

We heartily endorse the Platforms a.
dopted by the State Conventions of the
Democratic and Silver Parties and pledge
our candidates to support the principles
enunciated therein.

provements consistent with reasonable
taxation that will benefit the County.
